This bit of Minor Strangeness happened a good few years ago, reading the Mediumship thread reminded me but it seems more suited to here just now.
I was sitting on the sofa enjoying the sun and reading one of those books written by a medium, hoping to find something that would convince me, but really knowing that nothing read in a book of that nature, interesting though they might be, was going to convince me. Personal experience is what counts so I closed the book and my eyes and with my skeptic hat on re-examined the strange things/coincidences that had happened to me. Ah that pull between wanting to believe and being honest ... how I wish I'd taken notes to clear up the gaps in memory! I wondered if I'd ever have any more maybe one that my skeptic self couldn't gainsay! A message that was clear ..... 'please Universe is it too much to ask?'
Suddenly I heard a voice say:-
'You have no messages'!
Oh great that's me told then!
Ah must have imagined it some part of my subconcious engaging in wish fulfulment or something.
Then again:-
'You have no messages'!
YIKES! It's a real voice and I'm in the house on my own! Do not panic! Breath slowly carefully look around.
I'm sure the rest of you are ahead of me on this one. 'specially as I'd mentioned it seemed to fit right in with the above!
It was pre ubiquitous mobile phone days and my gadget loving partner had bought an answer phone thingy (damn thing, stupid waste of time I never went near it being technologically challenged and even HE had given up on it when he realised that replying to any messages meant that the caller got the chat on OUR bill!)
It was on the other side of the room and I was nowhere near it. It had never before in my hearing turned itself on and it never did it again, at least while we were in the house (we didn't get rid of it 'just in case' and it sat there waiting for mobile phones to be invented!)
An electrical blip then but you've got to admit that the timing was neat and still leaves room for wonderment.
A mere random coincidence that turned out to be meaningful? A signal from my brain? The 'other side' using a gadget to get through?
HO HUM
