I’d forgotten about this event as it happened about two months ago now but I suddenly remembered last night when my flatmate asked me what I was reading so intently on the net. The flat mate is no Fortean nor Net head (she looks at shoes on Ebay), but she mentioned this event and I thought perhaps the enlightened ones could shed some light on it more for her sake than mine. It’s her flat after all, ex-council to be precise.
Claire leaves for work around 8.30ish in the morning. I get up after she leaves. I did so one morning and came through to the living room and found a jade egg on the floor just inside the living room door. I’m trying to find the thing again so I can get a picture up here (if I can remember how to do that!). It was sitting on the carpet about a foot into the living room. It’s about an inch and half long maybe an inch high and made of green stone so I’ll call it jade. It looks like one of those ornamental eggs you used to get in a basket from one of those shops that sells incense, wooden furniture that kind of thing.
The egg was cold when I picked it up and placed it on the table in the living room. When Claire got in and I pointed it out to her, she said she’d never seen it before? Neither have I? Neither have any of the steady stream of visitors to the flat as we asked them. We have a cat and it’s possible the cat found it and was playing with it but surely Claire would have noticed as she left for work. Also it’s a bit heavy for the cat which is a small thing to say the least.
So where did it come from? The symbolism which I’ve checked - I think “making a nest” seems to be the best explanation as Claire is in her mid 30’s and very feminine, I can hear her biological clock ticking right now. But where the egg came from I have no idea. Claire herself reckons it’s her deceased grandfather which I’m quite happy to let her run with as she obviously finds that a comfort.
The cat has been known to stare at the wall and a few weeks back was terrified to go into the living room but I would point out - Loulou is a pure breed chinchilla so I'm afraid she's a little strange most of the time. (Insert Duelling Banjo's here)
Me? I could have a presence sitting next to me and I wouldn't notice, guess I'm just not that lucky!
But I’d be interested to hear any other ideas the forum may have. Poltergeist? (Claire's niece and nephew have had an upsetting few years) Sign from beyond? Anyone heard of an item like this being found before? Am I missing something in that it's jade and it's an egg? I’ll try to find it and picture it for you!
