Well it was his funeral yesterday and , notwithstanding the occasional minor coincidence (death, funerals, seances appearing to be in everything I watch on tv.. I'll put that down to me just noticing it more), I've not personally noted anything eerie or uncanny (barring the book business on the first day). However one of my remaining two brothers claims to.......
He's been regularly reporting the kind of thing which is only convincing when it happens to yourself - eg feeling the back of his head being touched when there's no one there, or electrical items playing up in ways he interprets as odd and meaningful. Happening at a distance and sounding more minor to the audience than to the teller of the tale I'm inclined to privately think he may be just too keen to find meaning where none really exists. Until now....
He reports that just over half an hour ago my sister replied to a text from his phone. She had tried ringing him and when in lieu of picking up she recieved the text "Can I call you later?" she responded "yeah, no problem, its nothing important".
Except for one very important detail. My brother swears he never wrote such a text. It's come from his phone..but was not typed by his fingers. And the phone, he asserts, was in his trouser pocket the whole time, as he was busy with the lawnmower in the garden. This impossible written exchange apparently occured at 2 minutes past 12 today.
