Re: Devils night
I don't have anything nearly as creepy or bizarre as what you guys have posted, just a couple of strange coincidental situations. First for the background, my dad passed away when I was in 7th grade and my sister was in 3rd grade. He was the kind of guy you didn't want to make mad. He wasn't abusive or anything, but when he yelled at me or my sister if we did something wrong it was scary. He was also a joker who liked to mess with people. Well, when my sister got into high school she was always getting in trouble doing things like smoking, underage drinking, sneaking out, getting in fights. Now she for whatever reason thought that my dad wouldn't care though me and my mom assured her he would be furious. The weird thing is that at times when we later found out my sister was getting in trouble or doing somethnig my dad wouldn't have approved of, it often seemed to be storming. There was this one time when she was getting ready to go to a beach in S. Carolina with her boyfriend who my mom and I didn't really like as well as some of her other friends and it was storming. Me and my mom were eating dinner as she was leaving and my PS2 with a paused game of NCAA Football and I jokingly said something like "Hey dad, I know you're mad at Missy but please don't make the power go out and mess up my game." Well, the thunder and lightning stopped after I said that.
A number of years later I was at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, PA with my mom, sister, my mom's sister and her family. Well, me, my Aunt, Uncle, and 2 cousins were going on the Raging Rapids ride which includes a part where the boat goes under a waterfall and some of the passengers get soaked. (These were round boats that sat 6 or 8 people). Well, I wasn't to keen on the idea of going straight under the waterfall and getting completely soaked so I jokingly said "hey dad, please don't let me go directly under the waterfall, let my cousins (who wanted to go under it) go under instead". Well, I didn't go under and my cousins (as well as my aunt) went directly under. Well, a few days later I was walking from my house to McDonalds to get lunch (about a 1 mile walk). There were some clouds, but I didn't think it was going to rain based on the radar which I had checked before leaving. Well, about 1/2 way there it started raining and though it didn't rain hard or last long, I was still pretty wet once I got to McDonalds as there wasn't a place to duck for cover in that section of the road I was walking on. Once I finished lunch and started walking home, the sun was shining and there were hardly any clouds in the sky so I looked up and said "dad, you're messing with me aren't you? This is because I didn't want to go under the waterfall on the Raging Rapids, isn't it?"
The other one is a bit stranger and involves what seems to be some kind of connection between me and my grandfather. He had colorectal cancer and during the course of his illness, had 2 major surgeries that required a lengthy hospital stay. The strange thing was that both times he had major surgery, I was sick with seemingly the same virus and had a fever, chills, and a general ill feeling for about 5 days. Now some might say I got sick because I was worried about my grandpap, however both times when I first got sick I didn't yet know he was having surgery. The first time was in 6th grade and my parents hadn't told me he was having surgery yet when I got sick. The second time was in 9th grade. I had gone to school feeling fine, but began to feel ill towards the end of the day. I got home and my mom told me that my grandpap had a Dr.s appointment that day and had been admitted to the hospital because he needed some major surgery. Additionally, at no other time in my life before his illness or since he passed away have I had such a virus.
Again, nothing compared to what some of you guys have experiences, but still some weird coincidences nevertheless. It does make you think though.
