  • They'd Have Burned Me as a Witch 200yrs Ago....

    It's happening again...
    At work this morning. All as usual. Go up to make everyone a cuppa and while up there waiting for the kettle to boil, ponder upon the fact that the Bakery has not had a visit from Environmental Health lately...
    Half an hour later the "lady in the white coat" appears - unannounced - on the doorstep!
    After finishing my shift I decided to make the most of the fine weather and go and do a bit of tidying up at the Paddock.
    Surveying the general winter disorder - not been up for a while due to dreadful weather - I pondered upon the fact that it's just as well my land lady doesn't ever visit as she would think I'd let the place go.
    A couple of hours hard graft was seeing a big improvement and I was just raking some more leaves off the paths when I turned round and saw my land lady AND her husband waving to me from the gate! She wished me a happy new year and called out that everything was looking really nice and she was so glad I was taking care of it!!!
    Bizarre, eh? Do I have supernatural powers of foresight or am I actually "summoning" people?? Does this happen to anyone else?
    Off to practice my powers on a lottery ticket......

    Funny you should say that - I had two 'episodes' myself yesterday. I've been called a witch before - it don't bother me none!

      They used to call me a witch at work, I used to talk bees out of the house so people wouldn't swat then and could often predict when something was going to happen. Don't worry about it.

        Oh I'm not worried! I quite enjoy my little "episodes" (good description G4!)

          'Smells like Rain' used to get me weird looks. Until it rained!

          My 'Bad-Weather Nose' was another one.

            I smell rain, too!! I also know when the weather's going to change, due to pressure.

            Have predicted lots of things in my dreams and not all of them nice. I dreamt about the Lockerbie disaster less than two weeks before it happened. I also had a nightmare about Americans trying to throw us off the site when I worked at my previous company, about a month before they made 'that' announcement (they closed 3/4 of the site down).

            On the other hand, a colleague once needed parts for her Clio and that night I had a dream about a Renault garage being up the A23 (neither of us had ever gone up there - we turned off way before, at Chipstead). She was really spooked when she found one there the next day on t'interweb!

                            You're not alone Chris, the existence of female "supersniffers" is well documented in scientific research...yes, I can see how it might be a bit socially awkward, but then again you can see how natural selection might like the extra social information !
                            When I was younger every so often I used to have a very weird dream that was incredibly vivid and made absolutely no sense; I'd wake up thinking "How on earth would I ever be in that situation !" For example, in one I was standing in a room full of pillars, talking to a stranger about climbing equipment, other people I was with doing the same thing nearby. Utterly bizarre...until one day I found myself on an upper sales floor in an old Victorian building, selling mountaineering equipment. Deja vu just doesn't describe the "Ah, THAT WAS IT !" flashback !
                            That has happened several times, once I was even able to predict what was going to happen on the basis of remembering that old dream. The dreams are always so distinctive and odd - absolutely lifelike - they are easy to remember.
                            Science encourages me to think that this is just my mind playing tricks, personal experience says otherwise.
                            There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.
