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. :)

A man threw himself in front of DH's car when I was in labour with DC1. DH had to be relayed to the hospital by police escort and arrived at the hospital 30 minutes before the birth. It was like an episode of Eastenders.

When I was in hospital having ds he was really ill and transferred to special care. I was in a room on my own and a bird flew in. I became completely hysterical because my nan always used to say a bird indoors meant a death in the family and the nice midwife came in and helped me shoo the bird away. A couple of hours later my mum came in and told me that my dsis had called her and had had a miscarriage that day. Never told my dsis about the bird and my mum begged me never to tell my nan.

I was asleep in bed with my uni boyfriend.

I had the most vivid dream - a man grabbed me behind, and was strangling me, really digging his fingers into my throat. It felt so real that on waking I told bf all about it.

He said he had dreamed that there was a burglar, and he grabbed him from behind, and was holding a knife to his throat! I think he was acting out his dream on me in his sleep Shock

My dm and the queen used to write to each other. Only found out when dm died and found letters in the safe.

I have a BBF who is v influential in the USA politics and here. We talk every day. Even I dont believe it sometimes:)

I am actually very very poor but put on a good show.

I am a lot older than people think:)

My aged uncle is very very influential in the arts/ theatre knows everyone, darling. And he does:)

My wild child relative pulled herself together and runs a private bank. ( the police called her parents back from holidays abroad after the destruction of the house after a house party went very wrong) she lived in a caravan for a bit in disgrace then decided to get on it:)

My cousin invented something at 14 which has seen him never having to work again.

Yes I do. When I was 13 my parents and I bumped into Prince Charles and the Queen Mother walking around Sandringham. Their corgi tried to hump my golden retriever. Prince Charles said 'you're too old for that' to the corgi .

This is really, honestly true.

Mine is a bit tame compared to some of these but here goes. Years ago, sitting in the back row at the Cottesloe theatre watching (I think) some gory Elizabethan drama. Looked behind me and there was Dustin Hoffman leaning on the rail behind me. Nudged Mum next to me, loud stage whisper. She looks up and he's gone. Filthy look from Mum to me. Then 5 seconds later she looks up and he's now standing behind her. She tells the story now as if I wasn't there. But it was the now he's there, now he's gone moment that was so funny :)

I'm sure that the lady driving the car behind me the other day was naked.
She was following me for ages and I got a good look at her. No one believes me.
Also, my Dad was mentally ill and had no impulse control, he used to do all sorts of bizarre things. He bought me a piglet once and another time someone offered him a lamb and he brought it home. He once painted his car pink because he felt like it.
He used to do all sorts of bizarre things that people would think I am making it up

When I was about 13 I dreamt that my father's boss (whom I had never met) died in a car crash.
She died in a car crash the following week.

Used to work with various policemen, though not myself in the police. One told me this story.

He used to work up north, Inverness I think, pand moved to Central Scotland, marrying and bringing up his family near Stirling - so approx 100 miles away.

They got friendly with a neighbouring family and one night having dinner at their house he and the other husband worked out they shared a birthday, same year too. The neighbour said the co-incidences end there, as I was born at Raigmore, Inverness. Me too, said the cop.

Can't remember now if they dug our their birth certs, or phoned their mums, but it turns out they were both born at the exact same time, to the minute, one room apart, and then ended up as next door neighbours.

I dreamt a Virgin Galactic test flight crashed, about a week before it just happened. In my dream there was also a survivor.

I woke up one morning just over a year ago with a feeling that I had to remember something that day. There was something good that was happening that day. I racked my brains trying to think of what plans I had made that day and I knew there wasn't anything, but I couldn't shake that feeling that there was something good happening that day.

Anyway later on my best friend from school posted on Facebook a picture of her wedding dress saying surprise and she changed her name to her now married name. She did tell me via PM a while before that she was thinking about marriage with her then BF, but they didn't want to tell a lot of people and to just have close family there. She didn't tell me when she was thinking of doing it though, just that it was something they were thinking about.

Also something else I always feel a bit of a fraud about whenever I talk about is the things I have won when I went through my comping stage. Back in 2012 I spent a few months entering competitions. I won an ipad, Merlin annual family pass for all 5 of us, 3DS, exercise bike, £500 gardening vouchers, £400 LK Bennet vouchers, years supply of toilet roll, years supply of hair dye and lots of other smaller prizes. To me it just seems unbelievable that I could win all that, but its true.

I woke up one Sunday morning really distressed about a dream I'd had. I'd dreamt about a car crash which happened at night time, in a tunnel. I was convinced it was someone I knew.

When I put the radio on, Princess Diana had died, in a car crash, in a tunnel.

It freaked me right out.

I had a dream I was helping on a school trip with the class I was reading with and there were other classes on the trip, 2 teachers left the trip as they were doing other things and weren't going to work there any more.

I then found out these teachers had given their notice in, I honestly had not heard anything in school that would give me an idea, freaked me out but I don't really share it as I don't think I would be believed.
