After losing the myth, legend or fact forum I thought it would be nice to have a supernatural experiences and questions thread here, I'm sure there's still plenty of interest in it.

Kevin, you slept in a cemetery??? Did your friends who dared you also pay you? I had a guy in high school take me on a "date" to the cemetery. Fun times! It was our first, and also our last date... Maybe that should go in the "Advice To Bachelors" Blog. Do NOT take your date to the cemetery, expecting her to cling to you out of fear! Do expect her to get out of your car and walk home, however.

Nah, that would have been cool if I had gotten paid to sleep in the cemetery but I didn't. I know one thing, as long as I live, I will never forget what George Foreman said to a reporter the first time he retired from boxing. He said "I can'ts go around chasin' ghostes." What kind of a moron takes a girl to a cemetery on a date? Was this a grown man who did this? Sounds like a real winner of a guy. I just wonder if there are ghosteses with big breasteses? :-) Reply #63. Jan 03 18, 4:43 PM |

Well, he was older than me, but we were both in high school. I suppose he was a "grown man," but only at 18. I was younger, but bolder, I suppose, since I got out of his fancy little Porsche (don't ask me how or who or what paid for that) and walked all the way home, in the dark, through that creepy cemetery. But God, I was mad! Terrified, mind you, but also furious. I think he thought I would tremble and cling to him, making our first date barrels of fun for him. It didn't work out that way. I did warn other girls about him, though. As you said, what kind of creep takes a girl on a date to the cemetery??? Getting out of the car and wandering around wasn't on the agenda. Neither was I, as it turns out. Reply #64. Jan 05 18, 6:37 PM |

God, the irony of having that kind of a car and being a total loser. I wonder why they seem to go hand in hand together so very, very frequently? Well, it's a good thing you didn't get attacked by ghosteses. There must have been a bunch of them around, obviously, but who knows, maybe George Foreman chased them all away or something. Reply #65.

Believe me, the irony wasn't lost on me. I have my own theory about why those two went hand-in-hand, but I'll keep it to myself. I don't think it's accurate for everyone with a great car, but I'll bet it was for that guy. More amazing than his car was me storming out of it, in the middle of a cemetery, and walking home. I was so mad, I don't think I had time to also be completely terrified. And since I went off-road and cross-country, no way could he follow me and possibly try to rescue me, unless he also got out of that car, like a big, brave boy, and came after me. He didn't. Is it too late for you to contact your friends who put you up to sleeping in a cemetery and telling them you now need to be compensated monetarily for holding up your end of that bet? I'd try it -- with interest. Reply #66. Jan 14 18, 5:10 PM |

The cemetery thing was never a bet, just a childhood dare by the kid I was supposed to be spending the night with and a couple of our friends. Haven't seen any of them since high school! Reply #67. Jan 14 18, 6:53 PM |

Hey, I just came up with a cool name for a band - Attacked By Ghosteses. Reply #68. Jan 27 18, 6:35 AM |

When I was a car salesman, I used to teach the people that bought stick shifts and didn't know how to drive them, how to drive them, in a cemetery about a mile from our dealership. But the cemetery locked their gates at dusk. Never had a complaint. Strictly business. Reply #69. Jan 27 18, 12:23 PM |

Seems odd for someone to buy a stick that doesn't even know how to drive one. The first car i learned to drive with was a stick and the stick even came out of the steering column. One of those early 60s model Ramblers. Reply #70. Jan 27 18, 5:53 PM |

Kevin, wait a minute... You've never even experienced deja vu? I used to, all the time. To the point where it didn't even surprise me anymore, and I could actually speak, along with whoever was there, precisely what they were going to say, when they were going to say it. It was actually pretty amazing. And then it all "went dark" for a long, long time. That was weirder than deja vu, all over again. And again and again. And now, it's back. Come on, Kevin! No deja vu, ever, for you? Reply #71. Feb 11 18, 7:34 AM |

Yeah, I have experienced Deja-Vu a few times over the course of my lifetime, but I never took it as any kind of obvious proof that I was reincarnated or had lived a previous life or anything like that. I have always just dismissed it as nothing more than coincidence. There are a lot of very strange and spooky and bizarre things in this life that are just pure coincidence. In a world this vast and diverse and complex, coincidence is imminent. It was deliberately designed that way from the very beginning. I'm really glad you are back, Elle! :-) Reply #72.

Thanks, Kevin. I don't believe in coincidence, so there's that. And I can't chalk it up to "coincidence" when I know what's going to happen next, and what's going to be said next, and who is going to say it. It's kind of spooky, in an awesome kind of way. I don't know what deja vu is, but I sure don't think it's coincidence. In "The Matrix," deja vu was a bug in the system. Maybe we're all just batteries, plugged in and waiting to be harvested. But I kind of doubt it. Unless I can get out, wear an awesome black leather trench coat and groovy sunglasses, and dodge bullets with Keanu Reeves. In that case, sign me up. Reply #73.

Kevin, When the stick came out of the steering column, we called it three on a tree. Mark Reply #74. Feb 11 18, 11:32 PM |

Yeah, I remember that term now that you mention it, Mark. Yeah, I guess that was kind of a fun little car - that old Rambler that I first learned to drive with - even though it looked like it was custom-made for somebody like Mr. Magoo or something. :-p Yeah, Elle, and just like I've heard a number of people suggest throughout my life, maybe this whole universe is just a cell in some giant's thumb. Ever think about that? Reply #75. Feb 12 18, 1:09 AM |

No, Dorkus, can't say that I have. But I wouldn't believe it, anyway. There is no way all of "this" is just coincidence. Oh, Biathlon! Now that's a sport -- cross-country skiing AND shooting! I'm shocked they're letting us see this, but also glad about it. Biathlon is HARD! You don't have time to slow your heartbeat or breathing; you have to aim and shoot as you exhale. Sorry. I got distracted by the Olympics. That sounded like a "Oh look! A Bird!" moment, didn't it? Reply #76. Feb 12 18, 9:12 PM |

Yes, I totally agree that this universe and this earth and we as a human race are not here by coincidence or by some freak astronomical accident. The One Who created everything left His mark in so very many ways, but they are all relatively quite subtle ways that still leave more than enough room for people to decide for themselves and to draw their own conclusions as to whether He even exists or not. But coincidence itself exists in some form in this world every single minute of every single day. We don't have to have it proven to us, we don't have to be slapped in the face with it, we know it exists all around us because of two simple words: common sense. Take horoscopes for example. Here's a good one: "You just might get that job promotion you've been wanting if you play your cards right." Now attach that to any sign you want. Pick a sign, any sign. Let's say Leo since that has me typing the fewest letters. Okay, now let's apply some good old-fashioned logic. There are probably 400 million people in this country now. Let's say 20% are too young to work, 20% are retired, and 8% are unemployed. These are just rough estimates and are obviously not necessary to be dead-on accurate for this observation. Let's just round that to 50% total. That leaves 200 million working people. Now divide that by 12 - the number of astrological signs. Leaves roughly 16,500,000 Leos in the workforce. How many of those are even going to be up for a promotion in the first place? 2%? Certainly not an outlandish, unreasonable assumption by any stretch of the imagination. That's one out of every 50 people. That would be 330,000. How many of those are going to actually get the promotion. You know that some will, but you know it won't be every last one. Common sense. Let's say 20% get the promotion. Pretty conservative estimate. That's 66,000 lucky people and it's 66,000 cases of pure coincidence in one day. The accuracy of the numbers don't make any difference whatsoever. Common sense is all you need to know that coincidence exists in some form in this world every minute of every day. Reply #78.

Dorkus. Honey. No way am I doing math. Sorry. Forget horoscopes, you should be writing fortunes for fortune cookies! Although, my horoscope is eerily accurate, no matter where I read it. So is anything written for Scorpios, at least all the Scorps I know personally. Nothing vague about them. But for real fun, have you ever read the horoscopes written by The Onion? Completely hilarious. Here is mine for this very week, which includes my birthday. Not the best of the bunch, however: "Buck up: You still have a lot of life ahead of you, even if the good part was over years ago." Hey Mark? What's your sign, Baby? (Isn't that a world famous, sure-fire pickup line? But I actually want to know, so I can read your horoscope to you. Humor me... Right now, in my world, it's the little things.) Reply #80.
