Yes this started to happening to me and my sister a few years back - we've both considered it to be some kind of communication from dead relatives, as often we'll both have a white feather cross our path on the same day, even when we are miles apart. The starangest one I came across was as I...

First of all, I'm not the author Anthony Peake, and secondly, the blog piece I outlined linked to a discussion on how people arrive in our lives at a time that may be a fortuitous coincidence, but if this one incident is backed up by several other coincidences linked to the original, then...

The blog piece and the forum I referred to has nothing to do with numerology or the significance of numbers and everything to do with the question you asked at the start of the thread...and it isn't for amusement purposes either...ah well, never mind...

I saw one by the side of the road in the country lanes between Hemel Hempstead and St. Albans in Hertfordshire. What a thrill it was too.

Same! :-) I was hoping that someone here would appreciate that experience, so thanks for your post!

I belong to a forum where we discuss this all the time, and you may find it of interest if you check out this link? The link is to an author's blog and the 2nd (depending when you look at this!) posting is called Synchronicity 11:11 http://cheatingtheferryman.blogspot.com/ and outlines one...

This is probably a bit off topic but it was quite spooky at the time... I used to spend time waiting at Harrow and Wealdstone station for a connecting train, which was the scene of a major rail disaster in the 50's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_and_Wealdstone_rail_crash It seldom...

Well actually a bird a snake and a fish... It reminded me of the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly. This guy took a photo of a heron as it was eating a snake, but then when he looked at the photo, he realised the snake was also eating a fish...

:rofl: I was going to write something along the lines of Mein Kampf that rhymes with Punt but decided against it as I'm a lady.

That should definitely be next to Hog Pits Bottom!

We have some weirdly named roads and lanes round this part of rural Hertfordshire, lots of places with 'Hangman' in the title, and a Dagger Lane, but if you take Hog Pits Lane, you end up in the small hamlet named 'Hogpits Bottom'. That has to be the most unattractive address!

Did you notice the story directly beneath? I posted this last night... http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7590&start=300 To save you clicking, it was this: 05 Aug 2009 Woman to marry to fairground ride US woman plans to marry a magic carpet fairground ride after a...

Re: And it was in Liverpool too... Wow - I have never come across those before. I was born and raised in Liverpool so know the areas being described. So many around Bold Street! I'll have to wrack (sp?) my brains now and see if I can recall any weirdness around that area :) Re Your...

I don't see him as monobrowed, I see a very shiny (as in well-conditioned!) full fringe. Imagine looking down on this from directly above

There's no effort involved in trying to see the man - not your usual blur! Looks like Ringo Starr when he had a tash!

Especially those full of gold (see the stupid tv adverts thread!)

Sounds like a lost scene from Withnail & I...

Hairdresser turns robber into sex-slave http://www.russiatoday.com/Top_News/2009-04-14/Hairdresser_turns_robber_into_sex-slave.html

Mither I didn't realise mither wasn't a well known word, until reading of Stevie Gerrard's court case recently. Gerrard used the word mither, saying he was used to being mithered by the public, and the reporters explained this was a word mostly used up North, with a brief explanation and...

Even though I've never used the alarm on my iPod speakers, it goes off if the unit has been turned off at the plug (or after a power cut) First time it went off it drove me nuts because I didn't even know there was an alarm on the unit's clock. If you have anything like that, which you...

Ghost of Michael Jackson snapped on car... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2536406/Ghost-of-Jacko-snapped-on-car.html :D

Oooooh I like that one, thanks for posting it MsPix! :) The curious thing about that one, for me, is that the envelopes had aged.... I'm still trying to get my head around that part, and what it implies about time travel.

Wow! Reading the episode description on the link, I'm sure that must have been it....THANK YOU!! The weird thing is, I don't remember it being a couple, and I remember it in black and white, which is why I thought it was an oldie from the 60-70's, but it was in colour and in the 80's. I...

Thanks for the recommendation. I love Timeslip stories :)

Found it! And it was in Liverpool too...thought it was but couldn't remember the facts: http://uforeview.tripod.com/timeslips.html

I remember one about a man going into a shop that didn't exist but had been on that spot some dozen years or so earlier. He also recalled seeing an 'old-fashioned' post office van or something, before going into the shop. Later the shop was gone. I'm trying to find it for you as I may have got...

Great story Tilly! I'm convinced the buildings around the Pier Head are heaving with 'The Others'.:-) When I worked there, the old docks were still derelict (as they would have been when your husband was working that night) and it was mind blowing to look at those vast empty buildings, once...

That was the only rational solution I could come up with, except it sounded so close, whereas the painters were 5 floors above me. But it was totally silent every time I sat up, so I sat up til dawn!! gman72 - your story is now reminding me of the scene from the Shining where Jack Nicolson...

I've searched for years to find out which tv series it was that addressed this issue in an Outer Limits type way. I've looked through the Outer Limits episode guide, The Twilight Zone, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Tales of the Unexpected, Journey into the Unknown, all of which I watched...

That's exactly what I do when coincidences such as yours strike. I know an author who calls them 'synchrondipities', and like you, I also see them as signs that I'm in exactly the right place at the right time. It seems like a 'validation', if you know what I mean.

That story gave me goosepimples. It reminded me when of a night when I was 19 and volunteered to sleep over in the tax office I worked in (first job, hated it, didn't last long) It was a very old building at the Pier Head in Liverpool, facing the Liver Buildings. The offices were being...

Re: Haha One episode that has always baffled me was when I was school and I was supposed to be reading out something at the school assembly in front of the entire school. I was quite excited about it, and got up earlier than usual to make sure I looked my best, left home at the usual time...

Yes that's very weird stuneville; might have to change your name to Grim Reaper...wonder if you had a premonition freudian slip type thing

As a small child I used to see floating disembodied eyes often, and they terrified me. I even poked out the eyes in my dolls, though strangely, my parents never took me to see anyone about this strange behaviour! Bedtime was the worst, when I thought I saw dozens of pairs of disembodied eyes...

Last night I dreamed my goldfish died, so I took it out of its bowl and.. just to make sure it was dead, I threw it on the floor - which was actually a pavement for some reason - something I wouldn't do normally. Anyway, the goldfish started to grow and it became a man, who started rubbing his...

Astonishing. Has anyone else noticed how often tv presenters seem to be using the word 'Astonishing' lately?? I don't know if this is the right place to post this but couldn't find anywhere better.

Thanks for the book suggestion Jeff, I'll look into that I also heard about the tunnel possibly going to Lockers House. The woman who told me about the tunnels said she'd heard that someone went down through one of the shops and there were chains in the wall and such like down there, but I...

They would probably threaten to call ChildLine :) They might think you were mental but if the only other option was a jam butty (as it was for us) then they might think it was a treat! Have you been watching the tv show 'It never did me any harm?' where kids have to live a few weeks like...

That made me LOL! Fabulous quote! We grew up on banana butties (sandwiches) and also the banana, sugar and milk combo. I still love banana butties for lunch. yum :)

Thank you for that! I look forward to reading the stories - I do love grisly children's stories :D My sister sucked her thumb til she was in her thirties, so it's a shame my Mum didn't have that book. Now that you've mentioned the book, I have a mental image of a child being lifted into...
