Welcome to this week’s Open Book Blog Hop. Today’s topic is:
What’s the most unusual experience you’ve ever had? Have you included it in one of your books?
I’ve had 3 unusual experiences that were all to do with the same subject. The experiences all took place within a short time of each other during 2007, and gave me the answer I was seeking.
I had asked the spirit world for help. I was sure that my life was about to come to a premature end after discovering a recurrence of stage IV thyroid cancer necessitating the first of 2 neck dissections and subsequent external beam radiotherapy treatment.
The first experience after I mentally called for help occurred almost straight away. A ‘red glow’ light bulb suddenly burst in our electric fire, which wasn’t even switched on at the time.
The second experience consisted of me sitting up in bed to get a drink. When I switched on the bedside light my consultant was sitting on the end of my bed wearing her white coat. She smiled at me and then disappeared. I took the fact that she was smiling as a good sign!
The third and most bizarre experience occurred at work as I pushed a trolley full of patients’ notes along a corridor to Medical Records. When I walked along the corridor I suddenly knew I was going to be all right. It was only later thinking about it that I realised I had been walking past the chapel at that exact time. I am not at all religious and cannot explain it, but hey… 13 years have gone by since then and I’m still here!
None of my novels have these occurrences in. Perhaps I ought to write another paranormal story!

I remember a couple like those. Driving a high mountain pass one spring, I looked up at a hanging cornice of snow being whipped by a fierce wind and told my husband we needed to turn around. He did. We woke up the next morning to discover that whole area had been hit with the remnants of a Pacific typhoon. If we’d continued forward, we’d have been stuck, possibly dead.
Things like that. Maybe a God thing, maybe just a weird way our nervous system processes metaphysical data — never really sure. I’ve learned to pause and pay attention, however.

There is no denying the cosmic radio. You get it or you don’t. Sad that it often takes a scary glimpse of mortality to wake it up.

Interesting post, there are hints all around us, if we only look. I can certainly relate, I have experienced several similar things, usually involving prompts like you mention.

How amazing, Stevie. I guess you don’t have to write your experiences exactly as they occurred by rather as an experience and set of emotions.
