I was in 11th standard
at a residential college. My brother and I had both studied in the same
class since we were kids and also were room mates. We use to wake up at
five in the morning for classes. I normally fooled around with the warden,
making out that that I was sick and used to go back to sleep a good many
times. One time I did it again and stayed back in room. My brother left
to his 6.00 class. One of the seniors was our room-mate and he was there
too as his class was due at 7.00. I was tossing around a coin and I did
something I had never done before nor would ever do again. I asked myself
if my grandfather was dead and said that I would know the answer by the
best of three shots. I don't remember the shots I played that day but the
result of the game was that my grand father was dead. Though it is just
a foolish thing I felt rather sad and was telling my room-mate, the senior
guy, about it when suddenly my brother came into room. He said we
had a phone call from home and had to go to the office and he asked me
to come along. I told him what I was thinking and he didn't care much,
but when we go to the office we were actually told that our grand father
was indeed dead.
Now I'm not a insensitive punk to play around like that with a coin about
such delicate matters. But why I did that and why I asked myself that question
I still don't know. And though my family expressed a little surprise at
the time, we all soon forgot about it.
Our grand father had a heart attack about 4.30 in the morning and my experience
was somewhere around 6.15. So what do you figure?
My friends regarded it as telepathy and though I don't support them in
their opinion, I can tell you that it was no co-incidence, because I felt
a twinge of pain when I thought about his death after playing with coin,
something which I normally wouldn't have.

comment:
This certainly sounds like
a séance in a different form. A question was asked, there
was a way in which an answer could be given and an answer was indeed given.
Whether it was your own mind providing the answer (because you had a suspicion
that your grandfather was dead or very sick or because you had a psychic
link of some kind) or whether it was some contact with a paranormal being,
I cannot say for sure, but I do think that what you did was in fact a séance,
albeit not a standard one. |
