One thing here of several that happened to me My stepdaughter passed at 38 yo with cancer, prior she had a habit of misplacing car keys her husband had 5-6 sets of keys to her Tahoe. She normally had 2-3 sets missing at a time. After she passed when time to sell her vehicle the main set with the remote was missing as usual, we looked for months for them to no avail. My truck had been cleaned inside and out many times by then at carwash and by me. One day it was cold and raining at time to get the mail almost 1/4 mile (normally I walk it with dog) that day due to weather I drove my truck. Dead center in the driver's seat were Tina's keys with the remote key was on them, I instantly knew they were hers as to the key ring I had got her prior, there was no way I could have missed them as I used my truck daily to feed livestock, how did they just appear there? As stated, there is no way I could have missed them, just the keys in the center of the seat. My truck was always locked, and no others had a key but me. On another day here just me and dogs who ran to my junk room one morning after we ALL heard her call me from it. Dogs and I both heard it very plainly Both ran to the door.

I’ve had some unexplainable experiences, but I’m still skeptical.

My grampa passed away when I was 17. I spent my childhood on his dairy, and he liked to play his old records in the evenings; mostly classical music like Bach and Liszt. I told him my favorite one was Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2.
After he died, the first phrase of that composition played whenever I walked through this peaceful little field that was my short-cut to school. It didn't sound like the record, it sounded like it was playing on a music box, like, kind of quiet and simple. And it was definitely coming from a patch of cattails over by the stream that ran through the field. And that reminded me of the time me and Gramps were out fishing when I was about 7, when he showed me some cattails growing along the river, and he showed me how to open them up and let their fluffy insides fly away.
So I didn't go looking through the cattails to see if someone had lost or thrown out a music box that just happened to play that song...which would be extremely unique, because it's kind of a dark piece. I just enjoyed it til the end of the school term.

Another long shot. I was taking my daughter to her fast pitch tournament across the state. My buddy was doing the same from an entirely different area of the state that included ferry rides and etc, no coordination between us at all. As I get up to speed on I-90 to push across the mountain pass he’s right next to me one lane over. The odds of that are probably 1 in the several hundreds of thousands if not higher. What did it mean? I have no idea but what was incredibly fascinating to me was pretty much dismissed by him. He was a college professor too. Lol.

This is why I looked up to James Randi. (RIP) He exposed fakes and frauds for years, even offering up 1 million dollars to any of them. I offer up $1000 myself, no takers.
True story. In high school I had a job in a shoe store in the city. Snow was predicted for that day but I didn't wear any boots because I didn't have any. My mom was angry at me for not buying boots. Anyway by evening when it was dark, it was snowing heavily. I called home to ask someone to pick me up but mom was so mad at me for not having boots she wouldn't and told me to get home on my own. I needed to take the subway and then a bus to get home.
It was 6:30 pm. There was a subway station just a few steps away from the store so I wasn't worried except it was barricaded. What??? So I figured I'd walk 2 blocks to next one but the storm turned into white out conditions and I got lost. I happened upon a well lighted street where I saw a group of people getting out of a horse drawn carriage. The men and ladies were dressed in 19th century attire and they went into a place that could have been a restaurant. I looked up and noticed the lights on the street were all like gaslights covered by glass globes. When they went in I doubled back and finally made it to the subway. Then I connected to the bus station where I got on the wrong bus and ended up miles away on the seaside.
The bus driver was really nice. We were the only two in the whole bus so I sat next to him and we talked. I got home at 11:30 pm. I was so mad at mom for not letting dad pick me up and I was exhausted. But I wondered if I had time traveled back to the nineteenth century while I was lost in the snow? The thought haunted me.
When summer came I deliberately looked for the street where I had been lost and saw the horse and carriage and all the people in 19th century clothing. It was a winding cobblestoned street so I was sure I would find it but I looked all over and saw nothing like it. I makes me wonder to this day. Maybe the people I saw were ghosts? Anyway it was a weird occurrence.

This thread reminded me of this tale my mother told me.
A trip back in time.
This is the tale my mother told me regarding her sister and brother. I was in my 50s when I first heard this and she and dad were living in the flat we moved them to from London.
I never knew any of my mothers family but according to what my mother told me she had an older sister
who was married and had twin daughters and a brother who was in the Army.
Her sister's husband had gone out to America to make a new life for his family and my mothers sister (his wife) and twin girls were to join him as soon as he got settled.
She told me her mother, my grandmother, was the last of a Romanii clan.
For those who have read the book I had published this was the grandmother that I met when she was dead.
I was told that my grandmother could see things happen before they did and seemed to have an uncanny way of KNOWING what was in store.
In other words she was seer------a person who could foretell the future.
When the time neared for her eldest daughter and granddaughters to set sail to join their husband/father my grandmother had a vision of a large ship that was sinking and begged her daughter not to go but to wait and go on another ship later on in the year.
My mother said her sister laughed at her mother and told her that she was seeing things again.
My mothers sister took no heed of her mothers warning and she with her twin girls set out to join the ship that was to take them to America for a new life. They were sailing on the Titanic.
Unfortunately they could only afford the below deck fare and 75% of the third-class passengers died.
As the reader will be aware the Titanic sank on the 14th of April 1912 with the loss of over 1500 lives on her
maiden journey. My mother's sister and twin girls were among those lost because the third class also suffered greatly, as only 174 of its approximately 710 passengers survived.
My mother was just 10 years old at that time and it made life rather grim for my mother because she was trying to comfort her mother and grieve herself.
A big thing for a 10 year old child to bear.
