I hear ya Arron...I have an open mind about these things...until someone can prove to me either way...well I just keep an open mind.

Cary...you are right about being "touched". I remember an incident when I was a young teen when I was walking down a bush track, about 3 metres wide and all sand, one night at about 10pm, heading for the beach. It suddenly got very cold in one spot and something touched me on the shoulder. I looked around to see if it was one of my mates or brothers playing silly buggers, but there was no-one there...they were all in front of me. I spoke with Dad later and he told me a few stories about that part of the bush from when he lived around there as a teenager during the depression (him and his mate built a chaff bag humpy/shelter in the bush and lived in it).

Certainly woke me up to the possibilities of the supernatural mate, I can tell ya.

Cheers, Vince

Those who leave always seem to find a way to tell the ones left behind that they are OK and it is time to move on. I have seen it happen many times - even when the ones getting the message don't recognize it.
I don't believe in coincidence so the only thing left is....
what-ever you want to call it.

If you've got silver & copper coins, you must be rich! The rest of us just have coins made with obamalloy, that have no real value.

She died in her sleep at the age of 85 in 1922. When the workers heard she was dead, they stopped, "even to the extent of leaving nails hammered in part way". Her safe contained locks of her daughter's and husband's hair, copies of their obituaries, and her will, written in 13 parts and signed 13 times. She left all her furniture to her niece, most of which was sold: it took eight truckloads a day for six and one half weeks to remove it all. The house was then sold and turned into a tourist attraction:
