As the title says. Sometimes posts like this lead to a bunch of “paranormal” discussion—that’s ok but not a necessity. I’m relatively skeptical of that stuff myself, but they always make for good conversation and friendly debunking. This also includes very unlikely things. I’ll start:

When I was growing up (in the days before the communication revolution) my family took a trip to Chicago. During our five days there we somehow hailed the same cab driver three times, in three extremely different locations in the city. The second time all of us were shocked, and the third time we actually had him take a picture with us. I’m sure my folks have the old disposable Kodak photo buried somewhere in an album. Could he have been stalking us? I guess so. But he certainly didn’t seem like he was, and nothing bad happened. He seemed as surprised as we were. Definitely stochastic—but it’s funny how weird stochasticity can seem when it’s a little less random.

    As a teenager/young adult I had a couple of instances where I spontaneously had flashes of imminent future events. Once I stopped my brother from mowing the lawn, since I suddenly saw him cutting of part of his foot.

    Another strange thing which kept happening to me is some girls seemed to be able to inject themselves into my dreams, even when I had no interest in them.

    I don’t know if this just some stuff which my subconcious picks up and sometimes pushes to me or if there is truly some weird deeper layer to our existence which we usually can’t access.
