I've had a number of odd experiences through the years and, thinking back, I'm not sure what to make of them.
In no particular order, here's a few of them:
On a number of occasions I've stood near people and known - just known - death was near them. This wouldn't be unusual, considering the setting I work in, but the people involved are never particularly unwell and their passing is always a surprise. I'm never alarmed by the feeling I get, it's just there in the room. But I never get this feeling with people who are known to be dying or really unwell before they pass. Odd, isn't it?
Certain places really affect me mood wise. I went to the new local art gallery a while back and felt inexplicably hopeless and depressed for a week. (The art wasn't that bad!) Then I found out by chance it was built on a site where convicts were frequently mistreated. (This has happened a number of times in different places and in different cities, as well). If I know the area has a history or is know to be haunted I'll get nothing. If I don't know a thing about the area, it's like a little radar goes on.
I've had a number of experiences where I'll pick up a sense from a room, a building or an object (good or bad) but only at random. For example, I walked into a particular shop in a restored building once and could feel someone really nasty was there. (They were still there last time I went into that shop - they have lovely things in that store but I won't touch their gear because of this 'person').
A different time and city, I had an isolated bushtrack I would go for walks on, and I could always sense someone indigenous who came walking with me. They were lovely - very kind and protective - and always a few steps behind me. I'd spend most of the walk spinning around to see them because the sense of the person was so strong. They seemed really nice.
Then there's other stuff. Several years ago, I was pulling out of my street onto a main road and saw a car speeding up behind me in my rear vision mirror. Then it just vanished. Ten minutes later, further down the road I was rear ended by a car and, you guessed it, it was the same car I saw in the mirror. (I've never told anyone about that one).
I could go on with dozens of stories, some a bit freaky, but will spare you!
Another weird thing is: twice this year, my front door has opened by itself. The first time was New Years Day and then a couple of weeks ago. Both times I was sitting nearby working at a new project I have. The door has got a deadlock on it, was completely locked both times, and has done nothing like this previously in the 3 years I've been here - even during wild storms!. Both times I felt strangely tingly and what I can only describe as 'amused' by whatever did it, not alarmed at all. What was that about??
Am I just being silly? Or is this something I should be trying to work on on some level?
Thanks for any help!
