Psychic or coincidence

52 replies

juniper68 · 27/04/2004 13:06

I mentioned earlier about my mate's DH and his coincidence. I've just remembered something that happened to us a few years back. DH, DS1 and I had driven to a beauty spot and as we entered the car park DH went to park near a tree. I had an overwhelming feeling that he shouldn't park there but didn't say anything (I would nowadays though)
When the day ended DS1 needed the loo so we popped there then back to car to see the car at an angle and the side where I'd put Ds in bashed to bits. We'd just missed it. Apparently some young kids had been messing about and let an underage girl drive and she'd reversed madly all over the place and into us. Someone took the number but no joy. I was just relieved we'd missed it.

Things like this happen to me often and I have often wondered that.They reckon that everyone has psychic powers I,ve heard so I will look forward to your replies.

Not had anything quite like that. But was driving home with dh late one night and car was playing up (can't remember what exactly). Stalled completely and began to phone RAC. Bloke pulled up alongside and asked if we needed help. I said it was ok and tried the car again. It started. He then asked if he could lead us home (NB not follow). So we started back. At the final roundabout before our road he turned in the other direction. Sounds daft, but I really believe he was an angel leading us home. He was a 'normal" young guy in a nice carI have no idea if something would have happened if he hadn't been there, but I'm glad I didn't have to find out.

I've heard of people saying they're convinced they've met angels and they look just like us
Hope if I ever meet one he/she looks normal or else I may be freaked by big wings!

Not sure about angels but.... I had a miscarriage at ten weeks and then when I got pregnant again I remember sitting adn hoping it wouldnt happen again on my favourite log by the river. All of sudden it was as if my gran was there and she told me everything would be ok. Had DD 9 and called her after my gran "Grace". My gran stayed with me all through that pregnancy and when I was scared she was always there but then after grace was born she went and I have never heard from her since. She was not a ghost just a presence. I dont believe in ghosts at all but I know she was there even as a pyschological form from me and it was my gran.

I believe that we are looked after too.When I was 17 a month before my birthday my grandad gave me some money and told me to buy something for myself I told him it wasn't my birthday yet and to hang onto it until then (he insisted that I took it),I brought a ring.I was working full time so I never saw him for a while the week of my birthday I had to work to cover someone elses sickness and what was supposed to be my day off the worker came in without saying she was coming back (I was really pissed off)they then sent me home.I went home and had forgotton my key so I had to go to my grandads to find my mum.Later I spent the day with my grandad he wasn't feeling to well but he still joked and cuddled me then he took a turn for the worst and my mum called an ambulance I kissed him goodbye and we said I love you to each other which wasn't the norm it was like he was saying goodbye forever.He had a heart attack that night and died.He had had one earlier that day too before I arrived .I have always thought that with the sequence of events in those days it was like someone made sure I said my goodbye and he was hanging on.I can't explain why just a feeling.I do feel that he looks after me now too.Sorry to bable on

melsy · 27/04/2004 20:19

the happenings are very interesting though. just read your beety, what a lovely comforting feeling. I liked your thoughts at the end.

glitterfairy · 27/04/2004 21:36

melsy I knew we had a connection! Gracie is her special name! I nearly called her hesther but she was born on a tuesday and after my relationship wiht my gran we couldnt call her anything else. Beety I like that and how cool liking reindeer it is really not the animal of choice for most people but somehow really special. I like the thought of you listening to your ds in a cathedral and looking at stained glass!

Juniper, I think everyone has a certain amount of intuition and some people are more aware of the 'feelings' we get now and again. I have had one friend for a couple of years, I've never failed to answer the phone to her 'Hi '. Somehow I always know it's her when she calls. I regularly get day to day things like that. Saying things on T.V. before whoever is on does, and all that kind of thing. The most important 'warning' I had was similar to yours in a way, it was regarding danger. When my sisters DD was about two and a half months old, I rang my sister (she lived in another country at the time) and warned her to be really careful of who she left her with (!!!!) just out of the blue, I was really, really concerned, I had that feeling of 'foreboding' but couldn't say exactly what might happen or when. It was a really strange thing for me to do, I had no idea where it came from, but I was scared to the point that I called her back later the same day to reiterate what I'd said, explaining that I had 'a feeling', but couldn't expand further. My sister and I ended up virtually arguing (as you would if someone rang you to say such a thing out of the blue!) I wished I could have explained it further, I couldn't, I was just inexplicably terrified for her. Later that week my niece was admitted to A and E with subdural haematomas, she was initially in resus, and we weren't sure if she was going to make it. It eventually turned out that the babys father had 'dropped' her which had caused the injuries, a day or so following the call I made to my sister. By the time I heard my niece was admitted to hospital, I felt sure he was responsible, but it took a long time to come out in the wash. Not so long ago my sister reminded me of the call, and said "You knew, didn't you." I did, but I don't know how.

I remember when I was younger we had a horse that was sold to people in another country. When she died, I told my mum she had......it turned out she had been waiting for the right moment to tell me so!

I'd never ignore those 'feelings' either. In fact it's good to keep in touch with them with the 'day to day' things I mentioned before .

What lovely stories you've all shared. I've had lots of feelings similar since and before this one but I felt bad that I'd ignored it. But then I think what if someone else had parked there and had just been getting in/out of the car? Or even worse walked in the space where we parked?

OP posts:
glitterfairy · 28/04/2004 23:17

The what if question is always a difficult one. I always have it when I lose things or break them and think if only I could..... but hey usually that is not as bad as a car smashed in that is an amazing story Juniper.

In a recent discussion in one of the spiritual threads we talked about spirits and how to communicate with one.
Well I have one that hangs around but I having tried talking to him or even liked him that much. Anyhow asked him last week if he would like to talk and all I kept getting was Go home
Well by that I instantly thought - well I cannot just jump on a plane because of that - so I asked again - same message.
Than on Sunday our family dog died.
When I talked to Mum she said that she really wished I was home - as the last two deaths in the family I have always been by her side.
Pity my spirit friend could not give me a plane ticket...

I have a funny thing that happens to me. I 'think' I see a person a few times then find out something negative is happening in their lives.
The last couple of weeks I've 'seen' a friend of a friend so I asked if she was ok. Turns out her baby needs a skull operation as her head is mishapen. Needless to say she's very worried.

Nice synchronicity happenings this weekend

Went to Whitstable for the day yesterday.I had a feeling it woud be a lovely day and felt it to be quite and auspisicous day for going there. I have a fixation with coral/orange and saw a women pass the petrol station in a coral suit, just as we were going.
Then when we found the resturant we wanted to eat in I saw another 2 women weraing that colur. Now I know some of you will say that this just happens to be the IN colour but hey I thought it was kinda cool!!!

The other one was the fact that I havent yet watched THE O.C (replacment of Dawsons creek),happened to have it on and they were talking about having chrismaka : a merging of both Christmas & Hannukah, then another scene was one of the chracters woooing a boy she liked and suprised him by turning up in full wonder women kit!!!! (now that had to be the spookiest and coolest of coincidences considering the threads Ive been on of late!!!).

I posted this on another thread, but it seems pretty apt for this thread so I'll put it here too!

Re: the house in Islington I am moving to ...

My father (who I haven't seen since I was 4 and only made contact with a few weeks ago for the first time in 32 years) sent me a long email containing a lot of (previously unknown to me) detail about my paternal ancestors and ... my dad was born in Newington Green and brought up at Highbury Corner, my grandparents were married at St Paul's Church on St Paul's Road, and three generations of dad's family ran a shop on the Balls Pond Road. And the house is not 10 minutes walk from these places. Spooky or what?

melsy · 05/06/2004 22:21

Life is coming full circle for you then spacemonkey,that is a freaky cool synchro happening. So your doing it --moving to islington?? Cool, will have to do a meet up somwere nice then.

Chandra · 06/06/2004 00:26

I have the same thing but only with the people that I love the most, it always happens that I get a lot of anxiety and need to contact them just to found they are going through a bad patch. I'm also good at predicting when personal letters are going to arrive, and normally I'm able to say who has send it early in the morning before the postman arrives, needless to say the only regular mailings I receive are from the bank and those I can't predict..

melsy · 06/06/2004 17:42

OOOHH another one , but not for the best reasons, although this could be a great sign.

Today I have had to make an appt with a dermatologist for my poor little dd currently 90% covered in a wierd rash -- see thread "story of the mysterious rash" , had to go back to docs as its a bit worse today and he wants me to see a specialist. I phoned the dermo that our family use , but I never been there before and found out today that the number of the practise is the same digits as my house number, The receptionist then told me that she used to live somewere with the name of my dd, & also in line with religious convos here her name is christine!!!

glitterfairy · 06/06/2004 20:59

Ok another one its me too now the great sceptic. I was working at home last week and the doorbell rang and it was a boy who was the son of my mums best friend who I practically grew up with and havnet seen in ages. We screeched hellos and he had knocked at my door by accident as he was getting flagstones from the house across the road. Strangely I had driven past the entrance to his house a week before wondering how they all were!

DelGirl · 08/06/2004 13:18

Co-incidence (or just pure madness on my part?). My husband passed away 2 years ago today and I am 99% sure that he is around still. I was chatting to a friend yesterday as Ive been having bad dreams lately and said I would love for my dh to come to me in a dream and tell me everything will be ok. From what knowledge I've gathered of this, I believe they can't do this. Anyway, to get to the point, I have the hosroscopes emailed to me every day (free service - I wouldnt pay for it!) and what do you know, my star sign is missing - no message today! How bizarre. To me that means that my belief is correct and that he cant 'tell me' what the future holds. Things like this happen all the time. Just needed to say that - now I'm off to the cemetary.

spacemonkey · 08/06/2004 13:20

DelGirl - thinking of you today X

melsy · 14/06/2004 12:57

Del girl I hope you are ok today. I feel quite differenet to you on wether the soul/spirit of a person can talk to you through dreams,or other mediums, as I had a dream several years ago were my late papa spoke to me on the phone and it was the most amazing and wonderful experience, im not sure it was a dream now as I was in a trance like stae and could hear everythig else going in outside my window. I suppose may be this is a good topic for a new disuccusion , one I hope you can come and talk to us on. I think that there
being no horoscope for you that day was the message !! Im not sure what, and will have a think on it. May be the message was somewere else for you to find.

I must just fill in here my synchronistic messages for my 1st day at work yesterday. Im not sure if I have told this before , but 8 is my lucky number ; I was born in the 8th month, my house number is 8 added togther , its my numerlogical number and it happens to be the symbol for continuous life in chinese(I think), so the last few days messages have been thus.
I went to a new mums grp on Monday in a hidden synagogue and the number of the building was 8.
I started work for my dad Tuesday 8TH June.
At liverpool st station the number 8 BUS was the one to get to the office 4 stops away.
For lunch we went to my dads fave cafe were the owner is called HANNAH, my hebrew name.
we took the number 8 BUS GOING BACK , again 4 more stops , which totals 8 bus stops in the day !!!
