Then one night I awoke in the early hours and I swear to God there was a ghost like figure of an old woman standing over the wife's side of the bed. She was just standing there but looking kinda sympathetic, caring and understanding.

 

No wonder she turned up if you're getting all potty mouth in front of the big man. 

 

Serious talk, though: sleep paralysis. Hallucinations are often symptomatic.

I don't believe in this stuff as a rule but had a really spooky encounter many years ago.

 

We were 'trying' for our first child and the wife had had numerous miscarriage's and was getting really upset that we just couldn't have kids.

 

Then one night I awoke in the early hours and I swear to God there was a ghost like figure of an old woman standing over the wife's side of the bed. She was just standing there but looking kinda sympathetic, caring and understanding.

 

I wasn't scared but just mezmorised as I lay still watching for a few seconds. Then the old woman ghost disappeared and I eventually went back to sleep.

 

A few days later the wife tells me she's pregnant and lo and behold our daughter arrives 9 months later.

 

Still freaks me out thinking about it now. The miraculous conception @Benguin?

 

Let’s piece this all together. You woke up to see someone standing over your wife and 9 months later she gives birth?

I'm not a believer in ghosts.  I have, however, had a couple of experiences that I couldn't explain away and if they had been experienced by others may have been attributed to ghosts.

 

The first happened in the early 70s.  I was driving to Sileby at around 11pm and turned off what we called the Six Hills Road north of Leicester onto the Ratcliffe Road which led to Sileby.  Those of you who know the road will remember that after turning left off the slip road you have to travel up one hill, down the other side then up another rise to get to the outskirts of Sileby.  Anyway when I turned off the slip road there was another car around 150m ahead so I kept my lights dimmed.  I saw the figure of a man standing on the left side of the road, looked like he was waiting to cross.  After the car ahead of me went past him he stepped out, that didn't bother me as I calculated that he had time enough to get across the road before I reached him.  The car ahead then went over the hill so I put my lights on to main beam, by this time the figure was already three-quarters of the way across the road.  My lights went straight through him.  I maintained my speed but couldn't take my eyes off him.  As I drew level the figure dissolved and vanished.  I didn't stop or panic, just got to my destination then tried to work out what I'd seen.  I still haven't managed it.  

 

I should add that I was sober (never been one to drink and drive).

 

The second happened around 15 years ago.  At the time I was on an EU commission and in Brussels regularly.  I mostly stayed at the same ancient (and relatively cheap) hotel in one of their tiny single rooms.  I rarely got a great nights sleep, there were always lots of creaking and the odd thump which I put down to the construction of the place and the likely vintage plumbing.  One one occasion I was told when I arrived that there were no single rooms left so I had been upgraded.  Happy days I thought, and sure enough I got a large room with a really comfortable bed.  The only downside was that the ceiling light wasn't adequate so the hotel had thoughtfully put a couple of free-standing lamps in the room together with a couple of bedside lamps.  Unfortunately as the hotel was pretty old there was no central control of the lights from the bedside table as you get in modern hotels so when I went to bed I had to turn them off individually.  I had a really good night's sleep and when I woke up I was so comfortable I didn't want to get up, but I had work to so so I said out loud 'Get up you lazy ****' at which point every light in the room came on.  I thought that was a good trick so went down to reception and congratulated them on the installation of their voice activated lighting.  They looked worried and I had to explain what voice activated lighting was, they assured me that they didn't have it in the hotel.  Strange but true.

Your mysterious figure in the road reminds me of an old colleague who told a similar story about a late night encounter with a female apparition when driving late at night.

 

This is of interest only in that, when recounting the tale, my colleague's absolute terror at the memory was genuine and obvious. F*** knows what he actually saw or thought he saw, but he did literally look like he'd seen a ghost - I don't remember ever seeing someone look so frightened

I did a session with a Ouija board many years ago with my girlfriend at the time and my mate and his girlfriend

I remember it like it was yesterday...

It was done in my mates g/f flat and she had a cat at the time.

We hadn’t had a drink that night and had organised to go round purely to do this ‘activity’

It happened.....

The glass at a few points was whizzing around the table even though all four of us had a finger on it. It wasn’t really spelling anything to note, that I recollect, but it was flying around from one letter to another.

The most bizarre thing though was the cat. The atmosphere in the lounge area genuinely seemed to change, it just got ‘Eerie’ and the bloody cat went mental! It was clawing up the curtains, tearing about like a mad thing and just wanted OUT. 
None of this is made up. I vowed then and there to never do this again, and I never have to this day. Myself and my g/f drove home not really talking much, just giving each other the odd look and mouthing ‘wtf’!?

What became of the cat?

I'm not a huge believer, however my interest was piqued when I was probably about 5/6 when I saw an episode of Kilroy at my gans about paranormal things. Scared me witless mind you. 

It didn't happen to me but I used to work in a small supermarket. In the mornings the two butchers and shift leader would be there at 5am. The butcher said he saw a woman (the shift leader) walk in to the storage chiller in the warehouse. He walked down to talk to her only to find the door shut and nobody inside. He was as white as a sheet all day and was shaking like a sh*tting dog.

With these events nowadays as well, you'd be surprised just how much information you can get from people online beforehand from social media. You already know who is sitting where based on the tickets going in and beforehand they have teams of people who source everyone's social media profiles to check for any unusual information going in. Social media has become a goldmine for these kinds of clairvoyent.

 

Not clairvoyent's as they claim to be magicians /mentalists, but you should watch The Evasons if you want to see how it's done well. They're incredible, they source information about everyone by going searching the social media profiles of everyone beforehand and checking the place they're sitting in the audience based on their seats and then communicate with each other by saying slightly different sentances when one's in the audience and one's blindfolded on stage.

 

They were on Penn and Teller before, it's an incredible act and done much better than almost anyone claiming to be a clairvoyant. Must take tons of research and having an incredible memory.

 

 

 

Not sure if I'm missing something stupid but for all the research they do, how do they know, in the example of the guitar pick guy, that he'll pick the pick out of his pocket?

During the warm-up lap of the 1994 Imola Grand Prix, I turned to my Dad and without emotion announced: "Ayrton Senna will die in this race".

 

The only explanation I could muster was that Roland Ratzenberger died in practice the day before, I was a morbid child, and it was a fluke that I picked Senna.

 

Did weird me out a bit though! Sorry, Ayrton.

It's the code in the way the guy talks, they've got some code they've obviously worked on for years.

 

That's why a lot of the guy's dialogue and the way he says things are a bit strange.

Notice, for example the way he says "here, there it is, describe this now, it's this man" - with him saying "man" in a strange and unusual way and the redundant words "here, there it is, describe this now" then says "on this next" - the way he always says things slightly off is some kind of code.

Don't forget that he asked everyone to take things out their pockets and show them - they don't choose everything everyone picked out. They'll pick things which are a little unusual but probably come up pretty regularly in their show as part of their routine and probably have 500 slightly different ways he asks the person in the audience for 500 different objects. Then the colour will be guess by a slight variation in tone by how he says things.

 

It's very cleverly done and probably takes years of practice to get right.

Wouldn’t say I’m a believer and I don’t have any supernatural stories, but I do go through bouts of sleep paralysis from time to time. It’s remarkable how real some of them seem, were absolutely horrific to begin with but after the first few becomes more of a chore to sit through than anything
