Do you have a 'nobody would EVER believe me' story? No matter the subject or how daft, unreal it seems, please share :)

[SoleSource]

I have two. I told a friend totally out of the blue that Michael Jackson would be dead six weeks from now, he was. I pointed at the screen and told a friend whilst watching Loose Women that Linda Bellingham would die soon of cancer.
I dunno why i felt compelled to say those things but i felt i needed to.

No criticising, hairsplitting or arguing pleae.

Be brave and tell. :)

Many years ago I asked my then boyfriend what the time was. He replied 2.30. Oh! I said, time for the dentist (tooth hurty, get it?). He jumped up and muttered about missing his appointment. Turned out he had forgotten he had a dental appointment at yes, 2.30 that day.

Oh and he was furious that I'd been reading his diary, or else how would I have known. I kept having to repeat it was a JOKE aaaaaargh.

Appropriate name then Bum

I have a slightly weird coincidence. Exact names and dates changed but my Dbil is called Henry James and his birthday is June 1st and my godson is called Henry James and his birthday is June 1st.

Totally agree about the animal senses thing. My parent's dog always knew when my dad was on his way home because he'd start to whine at the door. Sure enough within a few minutes my dad's car would come up the drive. It wasn't always exactly the same time either.

My dog does a similar thing. Just before sixish every evening he will come and sit in the kitchen and stare at me. He's saying it's dinner time, feed me. What was funny was when the clocks went back. He did his following me round the kitchen thing at five in the afternoon. I told him to sod off, I wasn't feeding him that early.

I also agree about animals knowing. I had my 2 beautiful cats before I met DH, so for the first few years it was just them and me. Then I met DH and had a family, life moved on but the bond with my cats was still there.

DH told me that about 5 minutes before I got home the cats would get up from wherever in the house they had been sleeping and congregate on the windowsill to look out for me coming home. This was the case even if I was coming home at an unexpected time.

I liked sewing when I was younger and decided to make a blouse sleeveless. I unpicked one arm and then started to un pick the other. I put the blouse down. A couple of days later I started to unpick again when I noticed the sleeve had been sewn up. You could see different thread where this had happened. I've never been able to explain it.

At senior school one of my friends told us that her aunt had had a baby boy the night before, and that we wouldn't believe what they'd called it. She hadn't mentioned before to anyone that her aunt was even having a baby, so no one knew anything.

As my friend opened her mouth to say the name I said it out loud - and was right !! It's a really unusual name, is now and certainly was then (late 80's).

To this day I have no idea how that name popped into my head. It really freaked us all out, my friend looked at me as though I was possessed !!

I found out today that my mum was shagging my primary school teacher behind my dads back... He could be my biological father too.

OK its not woo or anything but I'm a bit wtf

I'm a bit wtf for you, Blackheart!

I was born in a 'true caul'...google it...my DM said it was like an electric blue hairnet over my face...It is said that 'caul bearers' have sixth sense but I have never claimed that although I have had some spooky incidences. I was 7 when my DM 'died' whilst giving birth to my DB...years later when I was older she said she had to have a whole body transfusion and her heart stopped a few times...she survived but was very ill for months..I lived with an Aunt...anyway I had a dream were my DM and I were crossing a rope bridge and it had a large hole...I went 1st and as my DM followed she fell..I had hold of her hand but she was slipping...I managed to pull her up...my Dad woke me from this dream...apparently I was crying out when he woke me...to find out I had another brother...I was devastated as wanted a sister...I vividly remember the dream and being woken...

I saw a ghost when I was driving a bit silly...late and only just passed my test...it was a warning and years later a medium described my Guardian Angel...him to a T.....

Living abroad we had a strange open fire...sitting around one day with Boss I just had a strange thought about this fire...I went to get a coathanger which I wrapped around the door handles...seconds later the whole fire collapsed and all the burning logs fell forward and would have fallen on to the carpet if I hadn't have made it secure...That's because being born in a caul means I will never drown so I have always been wary of fire...

I got bitten On the chest by a spider on my wedding day. It got infected, and I had a massive scab. When it finally healed the scar left is a perfect heart shape.

We stayed in a haunted house in rural France. 15th cent falling down chateau dh, my parents and dd1 (a baby) rented the old counting house. Very beautiful but basic in a French way. Dh and I woken every night by loud banging and crashing in the kitchen sounded like all the cupboard doors being opened and closed really loudly. When we went down no one was there. It happened most nights. Place was rural and no one else there.dh suggested rats in a half hearted way but how could rats slam cupboards? Also we heard nails scraping down our first floor bedroom window.

Dh and my parents scoffed at me being scared but none of them could offer any sort of explanation. Was so glad to leave when week was up.

you stayed there a week

good grief

aurorasky that really made me laugh!

I'm loving this thread although there are some very sad stories on here.

JoanHickson - I had never dreamt about Princess Diana before, nor since.

I once saw a subliminal advert on TV when I was child before they were banned. Watching an advert for something else when suddenly the Abbey National logo and branding flashed on screen for a millisecond. None of my family saw it (well they did but didn't register it). No-one believed me. A few years later I read something in media trade press about subliminal adverts being banned and I realised that I wasn't crazy and that I had seen one.

haha bum you made me think of one there. I was in the shower one day about a year ago, washing my bits when I felt something sharp-ish at my bum, through the soap bubbles. I pulled it out (sorry tmi! !) and it was a 3 inch long blade of green grass. Wtf?? told my husband and he asked if I'd been sitting out the back garden. eh, what, naked in Scotland, in the cold??? nope.

One day when I was 3 and at play school my dad was supposed to pick me up as my mum had a dental appointment .

My dad forgot about me and in the middle of getting a filling my mum up and left the dentist as she had a feeling something was wrong , strange!

My granny with dementia also asked my mum if I was pregnant last year. I was only a few weeks and hadn't told anyone except my mum and dad .

Sad but true story:

When I was 19 I went on holiday with my then boyfriend and a couple we were mates with, and their 2 year old boy. I will call the mates R and S. S and their Ds drove to the holiday in the car with us, and R followed on his motorbike.

At the end of the hol, we went ahead in the car and R stayed behind to give the holiday flat keys back. When we said goodbye to him it was very strange, he seemed v sad and he gave S and his DS a kiss and a cuddle, which seemed v unlike him. As we said goodbye I said 'see you there, R' but honestly I felt a thud in my chest like I knew he wouldn't make it.

On the way back R wasn't catching us up. Halfway we stopped at a service station and I looked at my watch- 1pm. Things didn't feel right.

We reached R and S's place and helped her inside with their Ds. As we got back to the car we saw a copper pull up and got out and approach the flat. I just knew. He had been killed in a motorbike crash at 1pm. He was only 23.

And here is the woo bit: a month or so later me and then boyfriend were out for the evening and were driving past R and S's place. R was standing on the village green outside, in his motorbike leathers but minus his helmet, staring up at their flat. He was very distinctive, v v tall and slim with bright white blond hair. We both jumped out of our seats with shock and turned round to drive back but he had gone. I swear to god it was him.

I lot of these are freaking me out, particularly the child mediums

So mine is pleasingly ridiculous (at least, I find it pleasing). I was walking into town one summer's evening to the pub with DH and I was taking a booking on my mobile (we run our own business). As I rounded a corner, I went flying over something and ended up sprawled on the pavement with the phone in front of me after shouting "Ooof! Shit!" or similar. I heard the chap's voice calling "Hello? Hello?" and after gaping with amazement at what I had tripped over, I picked up the phone, apologised for my language and said "I'm awfully sorry, I just tripped over a peacock." It was a male peacock strutting along the street as though he owned it. In a TOWN.

I tell people that, and they look at me for a moment, and carry on with the conversation they were previously having .

I dated Craig David for quite a while. It's true. No one would ever believe me as my looks have gone down considerably since then. I keep it as my little secret!

I have two.

1. I had the same nightmare when I was younger. I dreamt it fairly regularly. When I was 11 I read a book and the exact same thing that I had dreamed happened in the book. I started dreaming the dream before the book was published so I categorically didn't read it first.

1. I started a prep school when I was 9, which was based in an old house. To scare some of my new friends I made up a story about the daughter of the house dying with detailed back story. I scared me when I found out I had given details about a real happening

My first pregnancy I miscarried on New Year's Day. I got pregnant again approximately three months later and DS was born on New Year's Day. A couple of years later I had another miscarriage ... on New Year's Day. DD's birthday, though, is 15 January!

But is doees mean that DS's and DD's birthdays are exactly two weeks apart. Mine is exactly three weeks after DD's, and DH's is exactly four weeks (unless it's a Leap Year) after mine.

I had a dream about an old school teacher a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea why but it was vivid and she was in her classroom shouting at some poor kid who had forgot his homework. She died the following day in a car crash.

I had a dream last week about my cousin who I haven't seen for months. I can't remember what the dream was about but I remember feeling the need to call him the following morning. He never answered - he died in a (separate) car crash during the night.

I have freaked myself out

I'd occasionally wake up from a cheeky afternoon nap convinced I could hear a radio or TV playing elsewhere in the house although dh was at work and the dc were at school. A bit freaky but it didn't happen often and I forgot about it. Never mentioned it to anyone else.

One night we were out at a friends and dd and ds2 phoned us asking when we'd be in (dirty stop outs y'see ).

Transpired they'd heard a radio/TV playing in a distant part of the house too and were freaked...
