  No never, don't believe, funny how if you don't believe, these things never happen to you.

  The human mind (with or without drugs) can make you, think you see or hear things, that are not happening.

  I have had the dejavu thing many times, the mind likes to find connections, that are not there. This is why so many Cathilics see the Virgin Mary or Jesus in everything.

  As to the gasoline thing, someone put gas in your car without your knowledge, it is as simple as that.

  I have had the same car on the same day, get 30 mpg driving to the track and 8 mpg on the race track.

  I don't really go for the explanations given by others "in the know" but to this day its like a reminder to me never to go down that road again.

  I know, I just wanted you to think about what 11:11 signifies or means to you personally. No one can tell you that, only you know.

  Tales of clocks and time jar loose another memory of years gone by. When I was a youngster, I built my first LED clock. It had 6 digits that were .6" tall. It would show the time - down to the seconds.

  I learned a lot from building it, and in those days, had a transistor radio that I used to play music on local (and some - not so local) AM radio stations. Well, when set near the LED clock, it would pick up the clock generated noise. It almost had a tune or rhythm to it.

  Anyway, I got pretty good at estimating the elapsed seconds - a game I used to play.

  I used this LED clock to wake me up in the mornings, and for some reason, I got to where I would 'snap' awake and do a mental countdown... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,... *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* would go my clock - on cue.

  Now... keep in mind that I wound not open my eyes to look at the alarm clock - I would just wake up 10 seconds prior to it going off.

  I can't do that 'trick' anymore... but I used to.

  .................................

  Computers also make 'noise' when you place an AM radio near them, and waaaay back in the day, when I was using a new PCB Layout program that ran on the IBM AT (6 MHz), I got good at predicting where the program was in the 'routing' phase of the program, just by listening to the 'tune' of the noise generated. (They didn't have much in the way of 'status' messages that told you what was going on - so you just waited.)

  Okay... these aren't 'supernatural'... but they are 'cool' experiences.

  Regards,

  Come on people, all of your experiences are just in your head.

  Voices: Your head

  Sounds like footsteps: Your head.

  Doors and windows opening by themselves: Your head

  Flying dishes: Your head.

  Even though I wasn't there when you had these experiences, I KNOW it was all in your head, your sub-conscience. You know, that sub-conscience that just happens make itself known at any time, in any place and situation, just to make you look like a fool when you tell people how it made you see and hear things that really wern't there.

  Just remember to repeat "It's only my sub-conscience" over and over........kind of like a prayer, the next time you have what will OBVIOUSLY NOT BE a paranormal experience.

  Paralipomenon

  I was once told that if you look at the clock and see that it's 11:11 you should think of the one you love, because if they look at the clock the same time, they will be thinking of you.
  
  Nothing spiritual or supernatural, but to this day, whenever either my wife and I observe the time at 11:11 we say: "11:11" then blow each other a kiss.
  
  It happens quite frequently, but I think our internal clocks are very good at calculating time. What's 11:11 on one clock may not be 11:11 on another clock or ever correct.

  I've had one single strong 'paranormal' experience, in the form of a 'poltergeist' (look it up).

  My rational self already have several plausible explanations to it, but there are also parts to the story which are harder to explain away. When it happened, and several years afterwords, I was convinced it was paranormal. However, if I want to, I can find rational explanations to it all.

  Other that that, I've had deja vus. That's pretty much it for me.

  Haven't had a single occurrence of anything since I left (or at least faded from) the JWs.

  BlackSwan of Memphis

  Last fall a few weeks before Halloween, I believe, I was at home alone with the girls. Mr Swan was working a double shift. It was around 11 pm and I was watching Little House on the Prarie (I should probably learn how to spell it though). The unlocked side door opened and closed. It was not a windy night, rather still for fall. I thought Mr Swan got off work early. Someone walked down the stairs to the basement. The walking was not like shoes clapping on floors, it was the cadenced movement of steps creaking the floor. I looked around the corner from where I was sitting in my kitchen and waited for him to come back up. The footsteps came back up the stairs and by then I realized it was not him. I was thinking there was an intruder or something and wanted to go into the kitchen to get my phone but the footsteps were heading right back there. I stayed where I was wracking my brain what to do. The footsteps got to the kitchen...I didn't see anyone but could hear the kitchen floor squeaking as if someone was walking around. The footsteps came into the hallway of the living room where I was, then dissappeared.

  Finally realizing that no one was there, I got up looked around and tried rationalizing away. Simple really: It was not the house doing old house things, it has never ever done that before or again. Although other things have happened. The house was not creaking due to wind, old age or settling, because I have lived here now for 7 years and know what that sounds like. It was, as I said, a cadenced movement and then it was just gone.

  No, I wasn't drinking at all that night. No, I was not half asleep. No, I hadn't been using drugs. No, it wasn't something that I imagined, I was ready to call the police had my phone been by me. No, it wasn't my imagination being stoked by scary movies or the like, as I said I was watching Little House.

  my experience copied and pasted from this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/139091/1.ashx My husband heard the footsteps as well on another occasion btw.

  I was driving my daughter and a half dozen kids and a couple of adults in a van on a major highway through a major city to an audition. Traffic was heavy, but we were going about 40 mph. Suddenly directly in front of us cars slammed on the brakes...and there was a crash a few cars ahead. There didn't appear to be anywhere for us to go and there was no time to react. I literally felt the steering wheel pulled from my grasp and we were moved through safely...while cars were crashing around us. No...no other adult in the car took the wheel....
