Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3302877, member: 37"] There's nothing like first hand experience to open one's mind to things. I would visit my parents once a week for dinner and cards in the eighties and nineties. I had moved thirty miles away from them but every Wednesday I had to be in their area so it was natural to pay them a visit. My wife and I had experienced many times a number of things that, at the very least, science doesn't have a plausible explanation. As an aside I think a purely random event is a better way of ascribing a possible explanation than coincidence. Coincidence is judgement implying there can't be other explanations. It's not scientific. On one visit, as I'm about to leave, I realized it was going to be the last time I was going to see Dad. I did something that we didn't ever do and kissed him goodbye. Two days later at 3 AM I woke up suddenly from a sound sleep. It was so sudden it startled my wife who thought I might be having a heart attack. I explained to her I was alright but I heard my mom scream just prior to waking up. Three hours later we got the call from my mom. Dad had passed. He suffered a massive heart attack and collapsed at 3 AM. At 8 AM I contacted my sister and brother in law who lived out in Arizona. I wanted to get them before they left for work so they could make arrangements to fly to Connecticut for the funeral. I broke the news and apologized for waking them up so early (5 AM their time). They were appreciative and indicated they would make it to Ct. On Sunday they arrived and couldn't wait to tell us what happened. They waited an hour after I called on Friday to contact their employers. Upon attempting to call there was no signal. It turns out their kids were running around the evening prior, and had pulled the jack of their land line (only phone and no mobile phones at the time) from it's wall insert. And yet we had a ten minute conversation when there was no connection. I have no way of verifying this other than a group of people experienced the events together. [I]One more thing. I finished typing the above and was just about to click the "Post reply" button when the power went out in our home. Lasted less than a second. But it happened.[/I] [/QUOTE]
