[QUOTE="Amrynn Moonshadow, post: 1002887, member: 382"] Great thread, btw!!! A little bit of history, i'm a ridiculously religious person (hindu), and as it stands in my faith, paranorm / mind powers / all that junk is perfectly legit. (even ufo's fit into the cosmology of my particular branch of hinduism) I don't want to go too long, but things like this always happen to my family. My mom is a ridiculously empathic person. (we are usually on the brain wave deal, but partly due to use spending alot of time with each other) My dad, he is reliably clairsentient. more often than not if he has a hunch you have to listen to him. (from airplane disasters to what to study the day before an exam) we lived in a very remote rural area. it was a good 5 hours to the city with a hospital in it. my mom was 7 months pregnant with me, and was coming in to town for a check up. she wanted to come back with dad that same night, dad said no, and that she has to stay in the hospital that night. needless to say i was born that morning around 5, mom was having a complete renal shutdown, and we both would have died had we not been in the hospital then. other things just about my dad: he has accurately influenced the name of 95% of my cousins and siblings. (even to the point that when all the family was picking a name out of a hat for my cousin (who was just born) when he was not around they picked the name he wanted. then tried again another two times -- of course the name my dad wanted popped up each time. and after then they decided not to fool around with my dad's powers) again, dad on the road at night in a rural area of canada (in newfoundland), mom sleeping in ottawa. (almost the distance of los angeles to milwaukee - with a body of water in between) the car he was driving was hit by a moose and he almost died. of course, mom was having a dream that night about a moose. dad also gets 'feelings' of ancestors watching over us, and communicating to him their feelings. out of no where at breakfast he'll casually announce that his father in law visited and said things are a-ok. or whatever. while alot of this is interesting ... it only gets more interesting. my olderbrother used to get tons on nosebleeds as a kid.
