The subject of ghosts came up in a different thread, and @RJ_MacReady suggested starting a ghost story thread. I'd like to expand that to all inexplicable experiences you've had.
I'll start with this:
I'm the youngest of five. The 2 oldest are my sisters, and I have 2 brothers, the one closest to my age being roughly a year and a half older than I am. I have an unusual connection with this brother, in that I can almost always tell when he's in a physical confrontation.
When I was a freshman in high school, I was walking up the stairwell, between bells, and suddenly felt the floor vibrating. (I later realized it was me shaking, and not the floor.) Somehow I had the strong feeling my brother was in trouble, and I ran up the stairs and through the door to see him on his back, with a guy on top of him, punching him. My brother can take care of himself, so I knew he'd turn things around, but what I didn't realize was that the coward he was fighting jumped him as he was taking his jacket off, and his hands were stuck in his sleeves, behind his back.
When he finally got his hands free, a couple of teachers ran over and broke up the fight, and he never got the chance to hit the guy back.......but that's beside the point.
Fast forward to my early twenties, and I was driving to my favorite bar, when I started trembling the way I had that day at school. As I approached the bar I could see a crowd outside, circled around two people, and I knew my brother was one of them. I got out of my car and pushed through the crowd to see a guy swing his motorcycle helmet at my brother, and my brother easily swatting him away, and the guy turned and ran away....right toward me. As he tried to run by me, I reached out my arm, catching him, and said, "Oh no you don't.", and threw him to my brother, who tripped him, and proceeded to beat on him for hitting a girl in the bar........but that again is beside the point.
Fast forward another 5 years or so, as my friend's cousin and I were sitting in a bar, about to go to a party at which my brother and my friend had already gotten to. We're sitting at the bar, when he looks at me and asks, "What's wrong with you?"
"What do mean?", I ask.
"Why are you shaking?"
I hadn't even noticed that I was, but I said, "Usually, when this happens, my brother's in a fight."
He gave me that skeptical look you'd expect, and we continued at our drinks, until my friend came walking through the door and exclaimed, "Your brother just broke some guy's leg!!"
My friend's cousin turned ghost white, and never doubted anything I ever said after that......and that's the point.
There have been several other instances of this occurring, but these are the most memorable to me.
What stories you got?
