Lighthearted!

DS 4, has a badge he calls “birdie friend.” I may post a photo later! It’s a badge with a bird on.

Birdie Friend seems to have the gift of the “sight!” “Birdie Friend says Bob and Rose are here mummy, they like to have tea with us. Bob and Rose are DH’s grandparents who died many years ago.

“Birdie Friend says the men who lived upstairs looked like you mummy when their faces burned off.” We used to live in a former military hospital and I had a sheet mash on my face! The ward upstairs had indeed been a burns/plastics ward!

“Mummy, Birdie Friend says the end is coming soon.”

😂😱😨

Alone, unconscious with BF by your side - is it like an ancient bravery trial ?

NotTerfNorCis · 29/02/2020 00:51

Shock This is not a good thread to read late at night, especially with the wind battering against the house..

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 29/02/2020 00:54

Are you INSANE?! Get that thing out of your bedroom!! In fact out of your house altogether. Burn it burn it burn it!

FeeFee832 · 29/02/2020 01:20

Oh I shouldn't read this at 1am... scaaaaary Sad

boopboo · 29/02/2020 03:22

Eeek!

buckeejit · 29/02/2020 09:52

I'm hoping for at least another year or so. Yes please take your time TTC but let us know when you get a positive line! Good luck

I would write down all the things BF says too & try to encourage lottery numbers

DS came in at 6am because he missed Birdie Friend. BF had fallen on the floor in the night and was Very Upset. “Look mummy the man with no head is still in the garden, he’s cold and sad can we invite him in?”

Ummmm no he can stay outside.

“Birdie Friend is going to invite him in.” So apparently there’s a headless man roaming the house. Great. Along with the other spirits.

DH went for a run to escape the madness as he thinks BF has gone too far. He’s a very logical military officer, firmly non-woo. We are going to go out for brunch and BF is going to stay at home. DH’s orders!

Forget to say that DH wanted me to go to the GP about seeing things out of the corner of my eye, feeling funny etc. GP said I wasn’t anxious or depressed, I was probably over-tired and I needed to relax as I’m TTC. Did blood tests, all normal. DH was concerned about carbon monoxide, he even got Amey out (the company who do maintenance for married quarters) but the boiler is fine and we have an alarm.

I asked BF for lottery numbers. DS looked at me very solemnly “BF says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.”

BF is messing with me isn’t he?

But how gutted would we all be if we hadn't listened to BF and they are the winning numbers?

TheCountessatHotelCortez · 29/02/2020 12:00

Is this a new plot line for American horror story???? 🙈👀

olbndansmummy · 29/02/2020 15:25

@TheCountessatHotelCortez that could be the plot for season 10: BF and the end of the world

Birdshitbridgegotme · 29/02/2020 15:44

Shameless place marking love a bit of woo

buckeejit · 29/02/2020 16:06

Off to put my 1-6 lottery numbers on for tonight! 😂

B0bbin · 29/02/2020 16:33

This is my favourite thread for ages!Grin

BemidjiMinnesota · 29/02/2020 16:37

Have you called in a medium / psychic to see what they can do about your spirit infestation? I really think you should, mostly because I don't want to die in the upcoming apocalypse, but also because spirits apparently get stronger over time. Best to nip them in the bud before they get too entrenched and difficult to remove.

PlomBear · 29/02/2020 17:19

I wouldn’t know where to start with a medium. I’m on a private Facebook group about haunted married quarters and they have so called psychics on there posting.

BemidjiMinnesota · 29/02/2020 18:45

You'd need someone to come around to your house really because this is escalating and now you're seeing things (or losing your mind, but let's assume it's ghosts first Wink ).

Try posting on the Philosophy / Religion section of Mumsnet asking for a psychic or medium in whichever area you live in. Or you can look up Spiritualist churches near you and give them a call, or go to a local woo shop (that sells crystals and tarot cards) and ask them if they can recommend anyone.

Good luck! Please keep us updated, and chin up, if you're going to have a baby at least that means you'll live for 9 more months. Smile

Birdshitbridgegotme · 29/02/2020 19:25

Maybe bf Is talking about the corona virus. It has definitely seemed to have stepped up a gear the last few days. Maybe ds is interpreting it in the way the kids will die but maybe the school will be shut due to the corona virus? Btw just wanted to add that my dh has actually just put the lottery numbers 1-6 on Grin

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 29/02/2020 19:32

Ooh, you've not been murdered! That's good.
Not good that thi has are escalating though

PenelopePissedstop · 29/02/2020 20:01

That’ll be an interesting winners meeting fetching the big cheques from Camelot. Everyone wearing a Youth Hostel badge to covertly put out the word they heard it here first.

PlomBear · 29/02/2020 20:18

I truly hope the lottery numbers were right and you win. Smile The website went down before I could buy.

I have found an psychic, he’s an ex submariner and comes with recommendations. So we shall see! I will keep you posted.

Just watching Ant and Dec and the winning chosen numbers in their game was 1-6.
Maybe BF was on about that not the lottery 😆

bathsh3ba · 29/02/2020 21:01

Hmmm.
The coming of the Messiah is an Abrahamic religious theme. The Old Testament in the Bible (and I assume the Torah but don't know about the Qu'ran) clearly says engaging in any way with the spirit world is dangerous. So it seems rather unlikely a spirit would be talking about the Messiah. Although I suppose it could just be trying to sow fear.
Either way I would not be engaging in any way. The badge goes and you get an experienced priest in.

“So you're happy to believe in a demonically-possessed Welsh Youth Hostel badge which makes a small child utter gnomic prophecies about death, and see the spirits of dead soldiers, but you have difficulty imagining that said Demon Badge could do its demonic business at a distance? “
