  Last Friday, my wife and I drove home from work, I write in the present tense from now on: I am just to let her off and drive on to arrange some things. The street where we live is a straight one, houses some 50 metres apart, there is a drive from the street to each house, and along our drive, which is some 25 metres long and leading to the garage, we have a hedge which starts some 5 metres from the street. Got the picture? Our daughter and her husband with their three kids live in the same town. They’ve got a white estate car.

  My wife from time to time has premonitions, she feels things, hears that someone is coming five minutes before they actually come etc., and in her youth she a couple of times experienced some scary stuff. BUT, she does not think about it, she has the attitude that "it is there, but I do not want to speak or think about it, it is better to pretend it does not happen." I have only experienced one very strange sound "thing" in my life, but a few times I have heard people coming before they come, and half of these times I have been with my wife, half of them I have been alone.

  OK, the background is set. I guess you know whereto this is leading. Now, as we drive towards our house, we are some 40 metres from the drive, and we see the rear half of a white estate car having entered our drive disappearing behind the hedge (rear half because the front of the car has already disappeared behind the hedge, got it?), and we clearly see the taillights brighten up because the driver is obviously putting on the brakes, is slowing down. The obvious thought is, that it is the car of our daughter, she has just turned off the street and entered our drive and is slowing down before parking. I turn to my wife and say, "Ah, it is Xxxx, did you know she was coming to see us now?", whereupon my wife replies, "No, I did not – I hope she and the kids will not stay TOO long, because I am somewhat tired and really wanted to lie down and have a nap." We come to our drive five seconds later – and there is no car in it, no white car has entered the drive. "Now THAT is strange", I say to my wife, "You saw it too, didn’t you?" "Yes", she says, "strange". I let her off, and I drive some distance further, too see if I/we had mixed up the drives – but no white car in the drives of our neighbours, either.

  I drive off. Five minutes later, I get a call from my wife. You’ve already guessed it, "Now they came", she says.

  As I said, I’ve heard such things a few times, my wife has too, more frequent. But I have never SEEN such a thing. And we were TWO to see it. And we DID see it. And there was NO mix-up, I checked the area around. It was strange, and I just had to tell.

  Now that, is cool. I've had the thought, from time to time, that someone is going to call, on the phone, and sure enough, a few minutes later, they call. Or, I'll think about someone I haven't seen or heard from in ages, and the next thing I know, they call, or show up at the house. I've always just thought of it as co-inkydink....but I have had tons of paranormal experiences in my old house, and have shared them here in the past.

  Thanks for sharing, that was really cool. I have had similiar things happen to me. Usually I will dream I am having a certain conversation with someone and then by the next day, I have the same conversation with the person in my dream but now it is really happening. It is always wierd when it happens.

  My son told me when he went on a camping trip recently with some school friends that he was sitting on the top bunk, thinking to himself. He "imagined" his friend saying lets go out and take a walk in the woods. And you guessed it, five seconds later the exact kid said the exact thing my son imagined.

  I really think we have no idea truly how our minds work and what connection we have with others in the universe. Maybe someday we can understand it more. for now, I think this term is called dejavu? (probably mispelled). Lilly

  Good story Hip.

  One time my cousin was going to go with some friends to some party or something, it was so long ago I forget where they were going.

  Anyway, she couldn't go. So when she saw her friend the next day, he told her good thing she didn't. They were chased by a "phantom car" for 2 hours out in the sticks in San Bernardino County. He said it came out of nowhere and disappeared into nowhere. They tried outrunning it, making u-turns, etc. The problem was, they were lost and didn't know the area. She said he was very traumatized by the incident.

  The car actually pulled up beside them once and they couldn't see who was driving.

  Hope you never see one of those cars.

  My uncle has always had a connection to/with the "other side", and has had many experiences, one of which, included an old, antique car. He used to fix model T fords and the like, and he'd hear my aunt calling him, late at night, and hear her stomping about in the house, as he was working on the cars in the garage. She was always in bed, sound asleep.

  One night, my brother stayed over, and he saw my cousin go into the kitchen, so he followed him. It was around midnight, and my cousin was fixated on something out in the field behind the house. My brother looked, and he saw an old car, amble up to the house, and slowly come to a stop, before driving off and disappearing into the night.....then he realized it was an apparition of sorts. He freaked out, and never stayed there again. If I mention it to him, even now, he gets really upset about it.

  I hated staying there, and refused to be in any room alone. And never mind going next door to my cousin's gramma's house.....NO WAY!!! THAT house was definitely haunted.

  A friend of mine told a story, but he has mental problems, manic depressive, so I never know what to think of his stories; but this time, he was with three others in a car, so they were four, all giving the same version. They were driving home one night from holidays, driving all night, some 500 kms, and much of the distance is down a valley with dense forests all around. REAL rural, I guess like the Washington forests or somehing like that. OK, then they see the headlights of a car following them, and it remains at the same distance for half an hour or so. It then comes closer, closer, closer, and is half a metre or so behind them, although they are driving in 60-70 miles an hour. They are almost blinded by the lights of it. Then, suddenly, it overturn them - but it seems as if it is driving above them, over their roof, like a plane. They hear a huge roar, as from a might machine, and then suddenly all is quiet, no lights, no sounds, no car apart from their own. they all four look at each other and say, "Now what the %¤ was THAT?"

  And that's the story. I don't say it happened, but the three others have given the same story as my friend. A bit too spooky for my taste, I have enough with the white estate car entering our drive. I don't think too much on these things, I think that one possibility is that it tells us what resources we in fact have, if we knew how to use them - we have other ways of communicating, we have immense potentials, and because this is something which transcends the time/matter frames, sort of a mind over matter thing, it perhaps tells us that there are parts of us that survive, perhaps we have a spirit of some sort, perhaps we are more than machines or "animals". Another possibility is that something or someone wants to shake us up a bit from time to time and wants to tell us that "we are here, we are watching, there are other dimensions and other realities coexisting with yours, there are parallell worlds and beings and existences, and now we have let you have a glimpse, have a look, just to make you a bit uncertain, so take care and always look over your shoulder, we are always here." And that also points to the existence of a spirit or "other" world. All of these experiences to me tell that - you might find it odd, but is how I think - Darwin was wrong, that there is no evolution in the strickt sense, but that there is a bigger existence behind it all, because I cannot see how such abilities and happenings can have a material basis, there must be something more than matter in it.
