I would indeed, and if an explanation of how they could have happened within the bounds of the laws of physics was offered, I would actually be grateful. I don't get much joy from being viewed as either a liar or delusional, which are the two options most people leave me.

I used to work with a fellow who's wife died of lung cancer, though she was a nurse who never smoked. It was less than a year from diagnosis till she was gone. Around a month before she passed on she told him that she was going to send him some kind of a sign. He is a very honest, family-oriented, devout Catholic. Then, from her hospital bed a week before she passed on, she told him she knew what the sign would be....lightning.
I have only been to one funeral in my life, hers, and it was at 1PM at St. Anne's Church. As we arrived it was pouring out, really hard, the sky was low overcast thick clouds, and it was dark like twilight. We sat down, and got settled in, and then boom, thunder, and the lights in the church went out for a couple of minutes. Kelvin told me that when the thunder struck, he looked at his watch and it was 1 o'clock on the dot.
After the funeral, we came outside to find that there was not a cloud in the sky, in any direction, I looked. Everything was soaking wet, and dripping, and the sun was shining in a clear blue sky.

I have another from an equally straight shooting, straight arrow, tow the line, pillar of the community type guy. Scott is now a Chiropractor, and is as honest as the day is long, and as he told me this, his eyes were wide as saucers, and he couldn't help laughing through most of it, swearing it was true. He is not lying, I bet my life on it. What happened was, he was hiking to a spot in a steep canyon above an approx. 100 foot waterfall. I've been there, and know where he was. They were another 75 to 100 feet above the creek at the top of a virtually vertical cliff when his friend slipped and fell into the creek far below. Scott said he saw this and worried his friend would get caught in the current and go over the falls. This is the fun part. The next second, he swore up and down, he was pulling his friend out of the creek. He broke out laughing as he told me he did not climb down to him, and it was instantaneous that he was there, 75 to 100 feet below.
I believe him.

I was feeding my fiance lunch in the hospital last summer as she recovered from a serious head injury when she said 'see the ducks in the park.', & I said sure when you get better. But she shook her head and said it again, with wide eyes, as though I was missing something. She said it three times and then dropped it. That night I got home and checked my email and an online friend in Portland (250 miles south of here) emailed me to ask if Eileen mentioned going to see the ducks in the park with her, because she had been at the park across from her work at lunch feeding the ducks when Eileen showed up in spirit and she really liked watching her feed the ducks. Yes, she did I replied.

I will also post descriptions of my precognitive dreams if you wish to scrutinize those as well.

Eh... the point being?

 

I was asked if I minded the scrutinizing of my reports of anomalous experiences, and so I posted some, with the comment that I would welcome the offers to help me understand them better. So, the point is, why has a week passed without anyone responding?
That's all, I thought it was pretty self evident.

 

go ahead please...

 

That's neat. Are you sure you aren't reading into this coincidence too much?

Adrenalin rush blocking out the intermediary events? I am sure that some people black out in high stress situations.

Once again you might be reading to much into a simple coincidence. I have coincidences happen to me every day in my life, and the way I see it is that people think in certain ways and sometimes parallel in thought/ action to the one's they love. It's like when you know something is going to happen in a movie before it happens, not because you know the plot, but because you are familiar enough with life to subconsciously read the signs coming your way. There might even be a gene that determines whether or not your subconscious can predict future (or concurrent) events like a quantuum computer. To me this indicates a natural origin of these coincidences, maybe even to the point that one persons subconscious can sense the time it must send out it's message in order to create the illusion of a greater force controlling everything (the subconscious) in our conscious imaginations.

Please.

Regarding the first event. My friend's wife told him she would send him lightning as a sign after she died, and then she passed on very soon afterwards. Her funeral was at 1PM, lightning struck at 1PM on the dot, according to my friend, who told me he immediately looked at his watch when the lightning struck. Though he and I were not really close, I worked with him for over 5 years and found him to be a very honest, and conservative-minded man who was intelligent and very skeptical of any paranormal things. You are of the opinion it was coincidence, I feel that is one heck of a coincidence.

The creek rescue, I wasn't there and so cannot say what actually happened. All I can tell you is that my friend was certain that the events transpired as written.

Regarding my fiance, you believe what you like, I know what happened that day, and in what order it took place. It is the single most inexplicable event I have been witness to. If you think I am deluded, or not being truthful, so be it. I am not offended at all, I likely wouldn't believe it myself.

 

Actually I do believe that it is more than coincidence. I believe it is more than coincidence that I spoke of it the way I did as well. Thanks for listening.
