Thanks Mups but what about…well you know? ;-)
[/QUO
What do you mean Dongy? Do you mean if you were enjoying a bit of rumpy pumpy?
Watching tv 
Oh (shakes head)…ta ra…nothing to read here then…
Pesta, how strange. Do you realise we’ve both just called our friend ‘Dongy’ at the same time? 
Our Dongylingydong gets called anything from me Mupsy
have had a weird experiece way back in the mid 1960’s I have to admit to having an open mind on the subject.
It is one of those things that unless it happens to a person everyone else may think it is just imagination.
I can assure you its not. What I experience still sticks in my mind like it was yesterday. This is what happened
First of all I have to mention at the time i had a mini van that had wing mirrors but a centre mirror was not required back then
On this occassion I left work to go down to my parents in Cornwall and took a female work collegue with me who also had parents down there so i gave her a lift.
When we got to the Goss moors on the A30 or may have been the A303 late that evening I had driven about 3/4 miles across it. The road was dead straight for many miles back then.
Looking in the wing mirrors I saw headlights from what i assumed was a lorry coming up fast behind me. It got so close that it actually blinded me and the only safe thing I could do was stop slowing down gradually. By the time I stopped I was in a right mood and ready to give the driver behind a good slapping.
Got out of the mini van and there was absolutely nothing behind me, I could see for miles back. i have to admit I was shaking and got back in the van. The girl with me asked what was wrong and I made some limp excuse and had a smoke before driving on.
To me as i said this was real and i still remember it to this day.
The strange thing is one of our clients, who boarded his dog, with us at the kennels we owned until recently, when i told him about it he said that particular stretch of road had at the local police station had several reports of people being hit at different times but the drivers and passangers could not find any trace of a body nor was there one.
So as i said at the beginning there are things that can play tricks on the mind OR actually happened but can’t be proved.
All I can say this is just one major event that really shook me up leaving me with a very open mind on the subject.
I think you will find that those who have something similar happen to them won’t talk or mention it because they may be thought of as a bit daffy
Those that go on TV and make programs about talking to the departed etc are just scammers out to make a name and mony for themselves.
I could quote what my mother experienced one time but it is too weird to comprehend.
Quickly to say my grandmother in Cornwal died and my mother woke up in surry one night to see gran at the foot of her bed saying good bye. next morning the phone rang from a relative and my mother said i know Gran passed away and came to say good bye. weird or what???
You know, the party game…hide the sausage.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably num
At the kennels my youngest son looked out his bedroom window one evening to see a girl swinging on the gate dressed in a smock. Bungalow as it was then was a farmhouse and a dairy maid got killed in the dairy by machinery. Few days/weeks later we were talking to a local who had live in the area all his life said he had a picture of how our now bungalow was. later that day he showed us and my son said the girl in the picture was the one swinging on the gate and was the one the local said got killed.
Ask my wife Sue and she will swear she saw a cowled figure passing the windows. she actually went outside to confront this person and nobody there. The place used to belong to the Litchfield cathedral and this was one of the out farmhouses
I could mention several other instances that happened to me in a similar vein but will leave it there
Spooky Realspeed
Until I see one I suppose I will always be sceptical!
If I did, my reaction would depend on the encounter.
A ghostly distant figure. …I would probably be OK with
A figure looming over me in bed…
I’d be so “freakin Freaked” (as the American film dubbers might say) I’d let out a blood curdling scream at the very least 
It doesn’t worry me, nor does it frighten me.
It intrigues me. I’d really like to see what so many other people claim to have seen.
Not in the least bit excited, then?
Hmmm
We’re talking ghostly figures JBR!
People label things they do not understand as Ghosts or Magic and always have done. Science generally has the answer even if many don’t understand it.
For example, the ability to move through objects.
Most would deem that an impossibility but science reveals otherwise. Science tells us that most matter is actually mostly empty space. Hence anything on that small scale could move easily through that space.
Indeed there are super fluids that can do just that. Stick them in a glass container and they will gradually seep through it.
We must always understand that the top research, government and military of the true world leaders is many many years ahead of what they allow us Hoi-Polloi to have. We are still forced to use fossil fuels, but you can bet they long since developed more advanced fuels the like of which we would think must be alien technology but which is simply scientific progression held secret from the populous.

The van episode really scared me and still sends a shiver down my spine even after all these years.They say that the true Cornish are psychic to a degree and on my mothers side the family can be traced way back. How true this is I don’t know but and Sue will vouch for it, I have fortold things about to happen of which nobody could have known.
How does it happen to me? being very honest I don’t know, it is not pre thoughts about or even anything suspected that may occur, it is something that I suddenly become aware of is the easiest way to explain.
Does it scare me? no not really but now I tend to say nothing as Sue gets not scared but aprehensive as to what I may mention
Would I got to a seance? NO WAY too dangerous by far.
I can fully understand those whose are unsure or disbelieve, even I do because i can’t understand it or have physical proof but all i can say what I have experienced leaves me with an open mind on the subject
If someone approached me to tell their fortune or future they are asking the wrong person I couldn’t even if I wanted to
This is me being serious for a change ,something i rarely am if i can help it, at least on forums
So what if anything do i beieve in? some believe in god ,others in Budda and many other religions have their own they prey to. Nothing wrong in that if it gives them comfort.
ME? thats diferent I believe there is a force/power call it what you will that can influence our lives in many different ways but giving it a name ???
Now there’s a challenge…where’s my white sheet.
I’d rather play a party game!
The one I mentioned earlier?:twisted:
Haha!
Stop being naughty!
