Does anyone else experience odd smells they cannot explain? For example..the past few days I've come back to my flat to the strong smell of a meat pie cooking. I'm allergic to gluten, so I can't have pies, so the smell kills me (i used to really love pies. I miss pies). I've opened the windows, and burnt incense, and it's still there. I don't think it's the flat downstairs, because I pass by his kitchen as I come up, and he's not cooking..besides, he's not there.
And right now, at work, there's a really strong smell of tobacco smoke...in a building where smoking is not only banned, but banned outside too (I'm a non-smoker and even I think that's too far), and no-one in the room with me smokes.
I used to smell my dad's aftershave at university....long after he died. I'm not sure if that's the same phenomenom or a ghostly encounter.
I know that smells sometimes precede migraine's or epileptic attacks, but i get neither (I did get petit mal as a child, but that passed years ago)
So does anyone else get this? Smells that shouldn't be there? is it a ghostly phenonenom or physical oddity, or what? Is it even fortean?
