First go at doing this so please be gentle. Could I also ask admin to move or delete as they see fit should this not be in the correct catergory - thank you.
On more than one occasion over recent years, I have been asked when did I first experience something in terms of things I really cannot explain. My standard answer would be when I was aged around 17/18 years, (which was when my most obvious experience happened but more about that another day) however that isn't strictly true. When I was 11 years old, my late mother purchased a cuckoo type clock from a gift shop somewhere in Devon whilst on holiday. Although it looked to be a cuckoo clock it never chimed and did not have the little door or a cuckoo. It did tell the time though. From the day my late father hung that clock on the wall it would often 'jump' from it either as I approached it or as I had passed it, yet it never did it for anyone else including my brother and sister. I know I never touched it or knocked it as I passed it as it was too high for me to reach without some sort of stretch or tippy toe lunge. The only other thing that I seemd to affect during my teens and early 20's was wristwatches as they would either end up running too fast or going the opposite way and running slow whenever I wore them. I wonder when others had their first odd experiences and has anyone else experienced things jumping off walls/counter tops etc as you approached/walked past them.
