My Dad visited..(weird tingly friday)

Ok, Ok, so I am a Kook.

On tuesday, I was talking to a friend, and her partner has just lost his mum, and we were talking about how weird and sad chirstmas will be this year. Last year was the first Xmas without dad, but as he only died on 23rd december, it still hadn't really sunk in etc.

Blah Blah. Anyhow, TV switches itself off during the simpsons, not just off at the remote, but actual button had to be pushed in again.. (Dad hated the Simpsons more than anything else on TV, oh, except maybe coro and any american comedy, but I digress..)

Didn't think much of it, as we have a new TV, so it was just a WTF? moment.

Then at 10.15, the phone rings. Once. (Dad died at 10.15) then rings again at 10.20 (when I arrived back at the hospice) Once. Ok, ok, so just coincidence, but it really put me on edge. No one rings here after 9pm as EVERYONE knows how much I hate it.

I didn't think about Dad at all, with the phone thing, It just freaked me a bit, as I hate it when the phone rings late at night, it always means bad news..

Also, Dad used to do that code, ring once and hang up, so we would ring him back. (Cheap? Noooooo, not my dad, lol)

THEN, when I went to bed, I could smell my Dad. Really. He had this very distinctive smell, baking(he was a baker) mixed with stale smoke and sweat (he was "economical" with deoderant, lol lol) and beer.
It hung round all night, as I was up and down with the kids and didn't get to sleep til after 3am and it was there the whole time, plus this "feeling". Felt weird and a bit creepy, as well.

Spoke to mum this morning and she said her TV turns off during the simpsons often, and at the button as well.

Love and miss ya Dad, but don't be freaking me out, dude, you know I hate the dark!

Anyone else have a weird tingly friday story?

that is freaky but sooo cool. I love stories like that. mine isnt as full on as your one but just after we moved into this new house a few months ago my friend lent me her lateral thigh trainer which is kind of like a stepper thing. One day I noticed a wee pile of screws which i didnt think anything of, they were in a tidy pile so i thought hubby had put them there (doing renovations its not unusual to find nails and screws everywhere) and a couple of days later i jumped on the stepper thing and every screws was missing so the parts where you put your feet fell off and i just about arsed up. Thought it was pretty weird then realised the screws I had seen were off it so i started putting them back in and it was really hard work so no way would kobe have been able to get every single screw out by himself. hubby didnt do it and I didnt do it and addison definately couldnt have done it. Then the next morning Addison jumped on her wee ride on bike and it has a part where the horn and key are and the screws were missing out of that too, every last one of them and the top part fell off! So i think we have a ghost who likes screws.

Oh and my friend who lost her wee boy this year said she often walks past thier hallway cupboard and a toy will start going so she just says stop that bradley your scaring mummy and the noise stops but she knows he was there.

aaawww im gana love this thread!!! makes me want to cry!!

well, thats not all, I didn't put this bit in, in case you all thought I was way flaky..

On monday, jake was talking away and saying "muma, dake play with poppy" and I just thought oh ok, he's playing, and as we talk about "poppy", I didn't think too much about it, THEN he brings me over a pictue of him with mum and Dad when he was about 6 months old and points to dad and says "poppy talk to bubba and play with dake"

*shiver*

Kobe used to do the looking up at the corner and laughing thing to and I always thought it was my grandad.

Annie that is so cool, my friend has had her dad do things like that over the past few days. Must be a dad's thing to do from heaven over the past few days.

I read recently that children up to the age of 12 are highly pyschic. Makes you wonder about children with imaginary friends doesn't it

My Mom died when I was 15 and to this day I will walk into a room and smell her perfume really strongly or think I hear her voice at the other end of the house. My Aunt is a Medium and she told me that my Mum is always with me , and is now watching over Samantha as well. I love that

Oh, and another nice story, my Grandpa died a few months after my Mom, and apparently he goes and visits my Gran every day and sits on the bed beside her while she brushes her hair and he strokes her head. She was told that she would see the impression on the bed, and when she looked you definitley could. Freaky but awesome :)

Can I just add that I love the fact that apparently our families (including pets) stick together in death. So where ever they all are, they are together and will be there waiting for us.

yep big belliver about 5 years ago i had a vision of my furture i saw a wee baby and his father work with cars and be blonde and blue eye but he would turn out to be a prat i told my mum and my sister about this and then just forgot about it 5 years later i have light haired blued eyed baby boy it all came true i also get depressed days before love ones die and they arent always dying either or just thoughts about friends or family and i find pout later something (uslly bad) has happen but i dont think i,m sicnic or anything

my friend who past away , her baby girl often focuses on a corner of the lounge (where my friend used to stand and look out) and will reach out her arms and smile,like shes reaching for someone.
I like to think her mum is still watching over her
