Have you or has somebody told you of a weird experience.

I absolutely hated Tomato sauce…could not stand the taste or even the smell would make me want to vomit…now six months post transplant i can’t get enough of the stuff I’d eat it with every meal…weird you tell me!!!

The donor liked lotsa ketchup. Indicating a crap diet? Is there a warranty on this pump?

What sort of transplant Steve, taste buds? Frontal lobes? Ear lobes? K9’s? 😀

I’m afraid it was the old pump…i think it’s the huge cocktail of anti-rejection drugs causing the taste alteration

Between the ages of about 16 to 20, I woke up at 4:11 am (At least 4 times a week) for no reason at all. Alarm was at 7:30.
I distinctly remember taking note of the time after it became an annoyance. I accept that after a while it was perhaps a self-realising expectation – I was now “Programmed” to wake at 4:11am.
Some Bible crew suggested I look up 4:11 in the book, but I didn’t. The page numbering wasn’t like that.
At the age of 24, 4 years or so after this “Thing” stopped, my Father died after a short illness….at 4:11am.
Wierd? Yes.
Coincidence? Yes.

While we’re on the subject….does anyone have the faintest idea how one would go about the setting up of a Paranormal Society???

Mother wants to set one up but doesn’t know how.

One time back in the sixties i was walking home from my local establishment after giving them the contents of my wallet in exchange for some refreshments..i suddenly heard a noise and upon turning ’round …to my astonishment … saw six pink elephants following me home

About 10 years ago whilst working for a security firm at the Lloyds/TSB offices in Andover I regularly witnessed a weird occurrence. At 10pm every night the sight was checked to be completely empty, locked up and all alarms set, at 11.30pm the light in one room came on.
Upon enquiring as to why one of the other guards said that when the sight was under construction about 7 years earlier a young child was killed on the construction sight where the room is at 1130 one evening. I never had a problem entering that room before or since just a great curiosity to find out exactly what happened.

Well, to make a long story short. It was about 15 years ago, I was around 12 years old and my father and I had gone to a tool/equipment auction. We had split up, trying to cover more ground. I was on my own when I was looking at this particular old tool when an old man came up to me and asked me if I knew what I was looking at. Not really looking at him, I said no, Im trying to make some sense of it, and he went into this short but sweet disertation on what it did, how it did it, etc etc….. I remember looking at the man, and it was my grandfather (my dads father) whom had passed away a few months after I was born. Being freaked out at first (I saw enough pics to be able to pick my grandpa out anywhere) I sorta calmly skidded away trying to find my father.

I told my father what had happened…We spent the rest of the day looking for his old man, or an “imposter”……but to no avail.

To this day I swear it was my grandpa just being there with me, even if just for a split second.

Call me crazy, but I cherish those seconds to this day.

If you like these stories, check out the late night radio show Coast to Coast AM on Friday nights (actually 0100 to 0500 Saturdays, Eastern time USA). That night the topic is “Open Lines” with listeners phoning in their weird stories. The website, www.coasttocoastam.com, lists the stations (“affiliates”) in the USA and Canada that air the show. Outside of North America, you can probably pick it up over the internet from the show’s website or the website of one of the affiliates.

Hey, dont mess with Coast to Coast, I get all of my information from that program 🙂

But seriously, I have listened to this program, and while many times it is laughable (Best was, “Havent you ever heard of an alien human hybrid?” Yes, I swear on all the holy books that was a question) there are some interesting tidbits, like anything else, learn to read between the lines.

I once ate my Mother-in-laws cooking and didn’t get indigestion or diarrhea….SPOOKY eh!!

Yes, VERY!

The Hermann guess is interesting. I’d say the lady has got a talent as a medium, but she’s also cold reading, which is basically asking inoccuous little questions, then the answers coming back are enough to give her information she wants. Watch Derek Acorah any time and he’s a classic example of it, but not very good. Quite laughable actually.

But it gave your wife comfort,and that is all thats important.

My mum was cold read by a real medium once, who did give information she couldn’t have known, but also took al ot of vague ‘guesses’ until she got what she wanted. Shame when the real mediums resort to this.

Rlangham, I knew two Q-Station boys a while back, who were attached to RAF Cranage. This base is on very boggy ground so is prone to ground mists. They were both walking back from their station at about 6AM one morning, with mist up to their waists. A pilot was walking towards them through the mist, stopped about 2 foot in front of them and vanaished. Suffice to say they both legged it.

Afraid it was cold reading, your wife told her everything she needed to know. Shame really. 🙁 But if it gave your wife some releif then it did some good.

As for me and strange things, how long have you got?

2 time slips, numerous ghosts, a recording, two UFO’s, and witnessing earth lights. dammit i’ve seen some weired things. 😮

I haven’t got a clue what cold-reading is. When my wife got this appointment I also told her that I believe these people who claim to have supernatural abilities only have an enormous talent to “feel” themselves inside others and then being able to tell them what they want to hear. Like I said above: I’m not really into this kind of “hodge-podge” but I agreed that my wife should go there even if only to find out what it’s like.

But: my wife got the appointment when my mum was seriously ill. She was hoping to see this lady before my mother died (we were all still hoping that she would survive) to hopefully find out what we were in for. There was no talk whatsoever about my wife’s father. Even during the conversation my father-in-law wasn’t even mentioned by anybody until this lady started about it. How was she to know that his name was Hermann?

If this was all “fiddled” by this lady then all I can say is that she is very good at it.

If anyone on here has ever visited an abandoned RAF Base, and saw apparitions of WW2 RAF Bomber Crews, and it happened to be a Sunday, there’s a good chance it was a few of my mates who do RAF Living History, they’ve scared off more than a few people inadvertently!

I was looking for another thread when I came across this one so here’s my contribution:

I hardly knew my father-in-law as he died a short while after I met my wife. However, when the family gets together stories of “Hermann” and his tandrums are bound to come up sooner or later. It seems to me now that Hermann couldn’t control himself and very often subjected his family to severe fits, only just touchuing the boundaries of violance. One believes that he was only happy when he could turn his families life into hell. However, on the other side it seems that he was extremely unhappy with the situation especially as he couldn’t do anything about it. He was in treatment though. Early 1986 (I think it was) he was diagnosed cancer and died 5 weeks later at 52. My wife and her mother were with him when he died. Seconds before his death he tried to say something to my wife which she couldn’t understand. She begged him to say it again as she couldn’t understand him which he did, but apart from a mumble there was nothing. My wife asked him for the second time for him to repeat it, no doubt it meant a lot to him that it was said. He tried to say it again, but my wife couldn’t understand what he was saying and then he died. Needless to say how upset my wife was.

In summer of 2005 my mum was taken to hospital as she had breathing problems. She had water in her lungs and was recovering swiftly and the date of her coming home had already been set. Unfortunatly one evening she suffered heart-failure but was re-animated about ten minutes later. She was in a coma and during the few days later it became clear that her brain had suffered too much damage. Before my mother died my wife contacted through a friend an elderly woman in Holland who, people say, has supernatural abilities. I personally don’t think too much of this kind of “hodge-podge” but agreed that my wife should go and see this lady even only if she could get some kind of comfort from her. Apparently the lady in Holland must be very busy as my wife only got an appointment several weeks later. My mum died ten days after her heart-failure.

The appointment then arrived and my wife and I agreed that she should go there anyway, only just to find out what it’s like. So my wife and her friend went there, sat down with this lady and Annette (my wife) described the reason for her coming. The lady said that my mum is fine where she is but that one usually doesn’t contact a person “on the other side” within the first six months after their death (for whatever reason). However, suddenly the lady said: “Hermann is here! Does anyboody know who Hermann is?” Annette said “Yes, he’s my father”. The lady then continued: “Hermann says: I’m sorry!”

So 19 years after his death Hermann finally managed to tell my wife what he desperately wanted to tell her seconds before he died. My wife was hysterical when she came back home. This has surely changed my ideas about things.

With the greatest of repsect for your loss, Pete, I think you should view this with skepticism.

Use of Cold reading techiniques, careful questioning and the like can be used to give the impression of phychic abilities, and have been demonstrated quite clearly by people who make no supernatural claims to show just how it can be done.

Derren brown made a very interesting documentary where he traveled across the US pretending to be a psychic and getting various people, such as a faith healer, a fortune teller etc to endorse his abilities as genuine. Through clever use of phychology he managed to convince just about all of them.

I stayed with my aunt over Christmas and New Year and my cousin has recently become interested in Most Haunted (he purchased series 10 for my mother for Christmas and that’s all we watched while we were there) and showing particular interest in the investigation at Pembrey Woods (which was just down the road).

Now, several months ago my cousin purchased a camcorder with built in Night Vision etc, so we decided that we would investigate the local castle at night so that’s what we did.

A few strange things happened but the strangest by far was the occasion when my cousin was alone and asked for a noise to be made. Just as he turned the camera, there is a loud moaning sound as though there is someone crying out in pain. He did not hear this at the time because if he had, he wouldn’t have stayed there!!! The guy ran from a bird 😀 😀 😀

There was a car (boy racer) driving around the streets that we thought could have caused the noise (the car was caught several times on camera) but was much quieter, even when the car was very near to the castle. This noise was much louder and also of a higher pitch. It scared the hell out of me!!!! None of us heared it while we were there though….it’s just that we caught it on tape.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the noise (despite it being a voice in my honest opinion) is SIMILAR to that made by the car, we can’t say that it wasn’t the car and must therefore conclude that the noise is “inconclusive”….bloody boy racers!!!!!

We are going to put it onto tape and maybe also on the internet so if anyone want’s a copy to listen to they are more than welcome to get in touch with me 🙂 🙂 🙂

It really was spooky.
