I was getting ready for bed last night, took the lid off my jar of night cream and saw a happy little ghost staring up at me!!
I did apologise before destroying his cheerful little face. I hope he didn’t mind! 😮

Halloween is approaching so watch out for spooky happenings.

I put a bag in my recycle bin as someone was collecting an item I put on Freegle. It looked just like the mask from scream

I think there is a lot to our brain that we don't know about yet. This is why some people genuinely see the future, send thoughts to others, experience deja Vue, premonitions etc. Others cannot access these things yet or perhaps they never will.
My daughter was 7 when I took her to see my mum in hospital. Mum was being discharged the next day. All the way there my DD kept saying granny is going to die, and she wouldn't be going home. Mum was having tests for cancer but no cancer was found.
The next day I had a phone call to go to the hospital immediately. Mum had a blood clot in her leg blocking an artery, they wheeled her to theatre, put in the anaesthetic and she had a massive heart attack before they could operate. She died like my daughter fortold. I've never got over it that my 7 Yr old knew the day before.

2 days after my son died, I had west end girls in myhead ( not one of my songs) couldn't even think who sang it. I asked my other son H and he said, Pet shop boys, and one of his ( H' s favourite songs. 2 days after that, Ihad a favourite sing in my head, i had told my son I liked it a few weeks b4 he died. I think it was a sign?

Me and DP often say something that the other was thinking or just about to say, often on random topics.

"Where are Scully and Mulder when you need them?"
Where indeed , Crosstitchfan.
I'm a Nivea gal myself and use it as a nightcream.I never get holes or gaps ghostly or otherwise -the molecules in my jar huddle together in solidarity for what they're about to deal with when they meet my face.🤣🤣🤣
On the telepathy thingy someone else on GNet said that they thought it odd how many times significant things said in one house are somehow "known" in other houses in the group/family /whatever without being directly transmitted.
I've had a few examples of that.
Makes you think.
The Nightcream Spook seems friendly at least . Can we call him Caspar ?

I was in my local supermarket standing about three feet along from a cabinet with canned drinks in. There was another shopper standing about the same distance away the other side of the cabinet. All of a sudden, 6 cans shot off the shelf and landed on the floor! Neither of us had touched them. It was a little scary! No idea what caused it, but it wasn’t vibration from our footsteps as we were standing still.

This is a very obvious face, however I often see faces in very obscure things. For instance as I was walking up one morning last week I saw a baby looking over my husband’s shoulder…….it was actually a shape from the wallpaper. For a while there it was a lovely baby.

Two dabs of a fingertip?
Look, I want it to be Oscar the friendly ghost as much as anyonešŸ˜‚ but I keep wearing my logical šŸŽ©

merlotgran Mon 29-Sept-25 10:23:24

The smile could have been made with one finger, Oreo because that’s how I always scoop up a very small amount as my skin doesn’t need very much but goodness knows where the eyes came from. šŸ˜‚

Oreo Mon 29-Sept-25 10:11:30

merlot I can see how that pattern appeared in the face cream,
It’s two fingers and a thumb grabbing up some of itšŸ˜„

You must have sent out a few thought messages😁 what a saving for you!

A few months ago, my Tower microwave snuffed it. I'd had it since 2017, so no complaints; it worked very well for me over the years.

It was nighttime, so I thought I'd go back to The Range where I bought the previous one in the morning and buy another one, as I don't cook and never use ovens/hobs; microwaves are essential to me.

It was just as I was getting into my car to go to The Range when a work colleague caught me, saying she has a Cookworks microwave that she's only used twice in 3 years, very clean, perfect working condition, and would I like it?!

A few minutes later, I installed it and it's brilliant! Saved me about £90.00!

TheWeirdoAgain60 Mon 29-Sept-25 09:17:23

AWWWW! What a beauty!

TheWeirdoAgain60 Mon 29-Sept-25 09:16:49

What an adorable little face! Such a pity to destroy it!

My DH and I are very telepathic. We often know what the other is thinking which can be a bit weird at times. Several times I’ve tried deliberately to plant a thought into his mind such as ā€˜let’s go to ……… today, only for him to suggest it a few minutes later. At first we put it down to coincidence but it happens far too often for it to be.

Same here. It often happens in the evening when I might think of something I fancy eating or drinking, say marmite on toast. DH then says do you fancy some toast? When I say I do, he’ll ask if I fancy marmite on it. Just an example but it happens all the time.

I was feeling quite low recently and went for afternoon tea with a friend to a tea garden. There in the corner was a beautiful statue of St Francis of Assisi holding a dove. It was hidden amongst the bushes but it made me reflect on his story and it gave me comfort. Coincidence or guidance from above?!

Haha yeah that would be worrying, go check it out right now.

I would often sing Toora Lora Looma, the Umbrella song, made famous by Flanagan and Allen a very long time ago, to soothe my GD when she had colic, just as my mother sang it to my children as babies.
I know some of the words but generally make the rest up. When my DH was in hospital recently and was touch and go for a couple of weeks, I dropped into a coffee shop near the hospital with my DD for a break whilst other family members took over at his bedside, and low and behold the song started to play in the background, was a sort of retro cafe so I suppose it made sense. But it immediately made me think of my long departed mum and it felt as if she was with me at my lowest moment singing a song that aimed to soothe and calm.
Is by no means a popular song so was quite remarkable to hear it at that time.
