After watching a programme about 'the unexplained' I thought I'd share with you a couple of strange things that have happened in my life that I can't explain.....
When I was about 14 my sisters were staying at my aunts house and my mum and dad suggested a drive to a nearby animal park and lunch at a restaurant.....of course I jumped at the chance! Just as we pulled out of the drive I was suddenly overwhelmed by the weirdest feeling....I can't really describe, I just felt really uneasy being in the car. I told my parents I didnt want to go out and after several 'don't be dafts' dad pulled over and I got out. They gave me the key to get back indoors and went out without me.
Later on my aunt came over with my sisters, she said my dad had called from the hospital and there's been accident. Pulling out of a junction about 20 mins in to their journey, my parents car had been hit in the rear drives side by a speeding motorist. The car was spun into the road and another car, unable to stop, hit the rear passenger side. The front of the car was untouched and my parents luckily only had minor injuries. The back of the car was completely crushed....its unlikely anyone sitting in the back would have survived
Another weird incident happened when I was about 10. I used to love staying at my great-grandparents on a saturday night. One sunday when my mum picked me up we'd barely been home five minutes when my nan called to say that my grandad had collapsed. He died of a heart attack
I found out, years later, when my nan was very ill, that the night before my grandad died she'd awoken to find me standing beside him talking to him softly as he slept. Thinking I was sleepwalking, my nan told me to go back to bed. I looked at her and said; 'I'm just telling grandad that the angels are coming.' and then went back to my room.
Of course these could be coincidences: maybe my enthusiasm for the animal park was dampened by the fact that i was a moody teenager
And maybe I was having a strange dream at my grandparents house......
What do you think? and has anything 'unxplained' ever happened to you?
I'd love to hear your stories!
