I was walking downtown today, and it was a pretty bleak day. I passed a bus stop, one of those plexiglass enclosure things, with several people inside. There was a light rain. And a woman inside yelled my first name. Then yelled it again. There's no mistake, she clearly said my name. I stopped and looked at her, and she said, "Why did you tell Jackie that (a name -- either it was intelligible or I don't remember) was dating a man instead of a woman?" I said, "What?" And she repeated, "Why did you tell Jackie that (*****?) was dating a man instead of a woman?!" She looked possibly homeless, and I had been searching her face, trying to find a hint of some recognizable feature in this person. Could she have been someone I'd known or worked with before who has fallen on hard times? After a half a second of deliberation, I said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" But not cruelly, at least I hope not, and kept walking. There were several people inside the bus thing, but as I recall, they didn't seem to pay much attention. I've lived in this area for only about 5 yrs and probably haven't left that great of a social footprint. I couldn't detect anything in this woman that reminded me of anyone I've ever known. I talked to my mother on the phone tonite, but never mentioned it. But suddenly, repeating the story, I've got the damn creeps! The only Jackie I can recall was a cousin by marriage I haven't seen since she & I were kids. You know what bothers me? How the f-ck did she know my name! What was this? Am I gonna die?!!

Hmmm.

There was a Party several Years ago, with more than 50 People.
I strolled across the party hall and suddenly a Woman stood in front of me.

She said "Hi Frank, thats a Surprise to meet you here, how are you ?"
I thought "Who are you and why do you know my Name" and said "Thanks, i'm fine, how are you ?"

Then she was talking for more than 5 minutes.
She knew almost everything, who my Friends are, Friends from the Past, School Days etc.

I stood there, listened, answered with a nod and thought "Who the Hell are you"

Then, quietly as she arrived, she said "Ok, see you later, was nice to meet you" she turned arround and disapeared.

I was standing there, with a Beer in my Hand, totally dumbfoundled.

A Friend of mine came to me and asked "Who was that?" and i said "I have no Idea"
He looked at me and his Eyes said "You don't need another Beer my Friend"

I have no Idea who she was and i never saw her again

"How did you know my name? How did you know my name?!"

To answer your question, yeah, my life is any episode of Twin Peaks. ;-D

"Yes", Grin is going to die or "yes" you've had weird things happen to you? Or both?

:big_smile:

The weird things part! But I don't want this to be one of them "death, not far off, had begun it's flirtation" kind of things. :) She was no Mister Yummy, that's for sure. If it had been a girl I saw at the skating rink when I was 17 I'd be freaking out. We locked eyes for a second, the music changed to Tiffany's I think We're Alone Now, the spell was broken, and I never saw her again! Dammit.

When I was a teenager myself and some friends were out for a ramble one Sunday afternoon and came across an abandoned house that we decided to enter. It wasn't a 'break-in' and we caused no damage btw.
While having a look around I was halfway up the staircase when a young girl of about 7 or 8 wearing a white summer dress passed along the landing above me but when I checked the rooms upstairs there was no sign of her!
Seemed weird at the time but there was probably a plausible explanation...

Well, once I used to work in this Factory, but I wasn't very good at it because I really wanted to be a dentist which upset my foreman. So I ran away and made friends with flying reindeer and a foul-mouthed Klondike prospector, we had a bunch of Adventures and ended up in in a cave being attacked by an Abominable Snowman, which the prospector kept annoyingly referring to as a "Bumble".. well,my Dentistry skills came into play, I don't want to ruin it for you but it really was weird..
