Reply #38: A quick rundown of some things for you [View All]

[The Straight Story]

Will do my best with memories of things (not all in order mind you).

1. Dreams:
A. Dreamt of playing a card game in kitchen with my brother and sister and talking about some things (I was maybe 10 at the time). I saw the whole thing as though I was floating above us. The day it happend I remember telling my brother and sister I had dreamed this exact moment and they thought I was nuts :)
B. I dreamt I was standing in our living room (was maybe 14 at the time) and seeing the tv. There was a movie ad for a movie called foxes with jodie foster. IIRC they had black jackets with red letters spelling foxes on them. About a year or less later it happend just like in the dream. Nothing earth shattering, but it was weird to me at that time (I was 15 in 1980 when it came out - I think that was the year, give or take).
C. When I was 19 or 20 I dreamt the OSU buckeyes lost to the spartans. My new Brother in law (now X bro-in-law) wanted to bet me $50. I declined the offer. I even knew how much they lost by. And as I watching the game I thought 'they need a safety now to lose by that much' if I am not mistaken they got it. The buckeyes lost by the exact amount I said they would.

- No, nothing significant really, but peaked my interest in such things as pre-cog dreams all the same.

2. Ghosts/et al
A. I have a picture of one I can share, but won't publically for reasons I won't go into here. I doubted the whole thing for some time, but in retrospect it was as best I can tell a real ghost of sorts. PM me if you want to know more (and no, not being cloak and dagger about the whole thing, there are valid reasons why I don't put the photo here on DU).
B. Ghosts people in the family have seen:
1. When I was about 8 or so I was at grandma's house and heard relatives talking about a willow-the-wisp other people had seen shortly before someone died. Not just once, several times.
2. My sister and her friend lived in the garage apt where grandma had lived until she died. They were awaken one night to the sound of the christian channel blaring over the tv and went out and saw grandma's chair rocking. Scared em both so bad they came running into the house and would not sleep out there for a long time (grandma only watched wsfj on tv as the rest of tv was corrupt).
3. Too many stories really about my time in a placed I lived that was built in 1865. Candles lit themselves, weird noises, toys coming on and saying things.

Have more I can discuss, got to run and get daughter ready for bed.
