There are wierd things that happen, and sometimes we have the darndest time explaining them. As I said above, the brain is a powerful thing. Alot of how we think/act/see things was imprited in us before you were even born. I read a study on believers and non believers a few years ago. A group of each where seperated and each individual was quickly shown an image. Some contained faces and words. Some did not. Across the board, believers reported more faces and words than were actually shown, and skeptics reported fewer faces and words than were actually shown. In other words, regardless of what was really there, your more likely to see if you believe, and less likely too if you dont. Believers may see things that are not there, and skeptics will not see things that are there.
I dont know what to think some times. I have 3 things I will share. Some may think its cool, I am sure others will think im crazy....
I had an old GF whos family claimed that her grandfather was always around, even though he had passed years earlier. They would talk about drastic changes in temp. and the scent of old spice that would come from no where. I thought nothing of it, cold spots and and old man neighbor who went alittle heavy on the cologne that day. I had been around when i had happened and nothing really felt wierd or out of place. However what got me later on in this story was, my GF moved away. We stayed together long distance for the summer and I would visit her. It happend in this new home too. And then at her aunts house. The same style of event, 3 seperate locations. I always thought that was extremely wierd.
The day my grandmother died will always stay with me. It was my mothers mom. She is the youngest of 3 kids. They all lived in the same area. My grandma had been sick for a year or so. She had slowly gotten worse and worse. She had been put into hospice about a week earlier. Its was a nice mid spring morning, sunny and warm. The family had been hurting over my GM and we were all in a bad place because of the amount of pain she was in. That morning my mom went for a walk. She says that she was over come with emotion and sat down on a bench. She prayed and was get telling her mom in her prayers that it was okay to go. She needed peace and that we all loved her very much. My mom said that she felt a calming and almost a chill over her. She said she felt like her mom was with her. She came back home to tell us that our GM had passed. 5 minutes after my mom told us, hospice called to give us the news. My mom told us the story after we asked how she knew before anyone had called.
I sometimes have daydreams that play like memories, only they are things that have never happened. I write down details about what I see in them. I have done this since i was little. Later on, days, weeks, months & sometimes years as i am going through my day I am hit with a chill and the scene plays back about a second ahead of real time. I am overcome with a feeling of deja vu. I have had this happen in small segments, or larger once close to a minute. I have been to and seen places that I have never visited and would not visit for months or years. The one that always struck me was the one where I meet my GF's mother for the first time. The dream scene had us walking up the stairs in a building, down the hall to an Apt, then into the entry way going into the living room. The thing is though, i had yet to even meet this person who would become my GF. I meet her 2 years later and after dating for a little while, we went to meet her mom. The things is though I didnt know my GF was the person in my dream. I had never seen her face. I didnt know until we entered the building. A building i have never been too, in a city i had never visited. I knew that apt # and the decor inside the home before we even made it to the hall from the stairs. I can not explain this and frankly it kinda freaks me out.
