More significant than coincidence???

I have never told anybody about this; and didn't really feel comfortable asking or telling anybody about it; but here it goes; their was this dancer; stripper; high priced escort; that I befriended @ one of my old jobs; we were not sexually involved although I did have a lust for her; but she was out of my league; she was a girl that would get paid by NBA players to spend the night with them when they would be in town; she made allot of money..

So anyway she would treat me to breakfast (we worked the graveyard shift) then we'd go over to the bar and she would treat me to drinks all the time!! well she moved to another state so she could find a job in the same line of work; so she left and was gone about a year or so and we lost touch of course; then I got sick and had to take a medical leave from work; which eventually became permanent cuz I could no longer perform my old duties; but she moved back to my state to work @ our old job again. so I would go visit every once in a while..

But eventually it got to the point where she didn't have time to hangout with me and I found another job so our schedules were totally opposite of one another's.. thats just insight to how we met; a little of how we got along; and how we eventually lost touch with one another (oh yeah I forgot to mention while I was on medical leave; both my mother and my sister got jobs working where this girl and I met) so my sister met my girl-friend from having worked with her; she then knew this girl and would pass messages between us every so often...

Then the strangest weirdest thing that ever happened to me which totally fucked me up for a long time!!!! here's where everything gets fuckin creepy and weird!!! my girl-the friend and I hadn't talked to each other for a very long time my sister started to see her less and less often; so @ this point we wouldn't talk to eachother for very long periods of time...

Then this happened!! I was listening or watching the news and they reported that someone drowned earlier that day; it was labor day and they didn't mention any name's or descriptions of the person who had drown and for some reason I thought to myself it was my friend; or what if it was her my good friend; how would I feel??? and I blew off the thought told myself theirs no chance in this lifetime it was my friend who I hadn't seen or talked to in a very; very longtime now...

I was like theirs absolutely no way it couldn't happen; it would be a zillion in 1 chance that it would be my good friend... and I swear on my father's grave... the news didn't even speculate or describe the person who drowned until her family was notified... so again the news didn't give any details on the victim @ all... so I shrugged it off saying that it was a sad story and I wouldn't know the person anyway... so I went about what ever I was doing and all of the sudden I hear my girl-the friend's name & the news reported that she was the girl that had drowned... I was floored I said can't be theirs no way in hell!!! no fuckin way... so I waited to hear the news again on t.v. or radio and it was true... my friend was the one who drowned!!!!

I was in shock to say the least and I was trying to figure out how or why I would even think of her when I heard somebody had drown and the report offered no description what so ever!!!! I couldn't understand or believe what actually just happened really did happen.... I tried to reason with myself that it was all a dream and it never happened... but I soon came to the realization that it did really happen... so me having experienced this creepy incident; I was still in shock from how the news came to me...

I think it was 2 days after the incident happened all of our friends and fellow workers from our old job arranged a memorial get together to remember and celebrate her life and mourn for her together as friends and family... I kept quiet and I wasn't gonna mention my experience to her mother so I wouldn't upset her besides she lived in another state and came to town immediately after getting the news about her daughter...

Well I knew from the jump... I wasn't telling or sharing the strangest fuckin experience of my life with any of our mutal friends cuz it would definately upset them and I for surely didn't want anybody to suggest or even think I had any involvment with this incident because foul play was suspected... their was suspicion of this incident being a criminal act; the police think my girl-friend was setup so she would be on the boat for this tragic incident to happen **(this is why I remained silent about my creepy fuckin experience)**
so the police had no reason to think or believe I had any info or knowledge of what happened; cuz the people my friend was out on that boat with were strongly suspected of deliberately pushing my girl off the boat so she would drowned... and I honestly didn't know the people she was on that boat with... but all I did know was I wasn't getting involved in any allegations of conspiracy or suspision of commiting murder.. or anything that would be considered or construed as being related to this crazy fuckin incident...

So like I said I kept my creepy fuckin experience to myself till this day!!! she drowned on labor day a couple of years ago now... I have her funeral memorial arrangment put away... so I don't remember the exact year it happened but its NEVER been told or mentioned to anybody until now!!! I can't explain my experience it I have no clue why it happened; or why I would think of her out of all the millions of people that live in my state... thats just fuckin creepy and I don't know what to make of it... I still think about it all the time!!! I guess I will never know for sure... just something thats gonna haunt me for the rest of my life... sorry for the longevity of the message but its complicated to explain... and I wanted to be as detailed as possible so everybody could follow the entire story!!! and my mindset and how I dealt with it those days right after it happened!!! all of this really actually happened... I am still in disbelief to this day.. and I still can't fathom the fact that this incident is 100% true with no fabrication in any way shape or form about my haunting experience!!!! :dunno:

well fuck man, sorry about your friend. that is weird but i do believe there is a connection that can develop between people. kinda like the whole mothers' instinct or the bond between twins. u had a feeling it was gonna be her, and it was so what can u say? coincidence? maybe. maybe not. does it really matter. moral of the story, keep your loved ones close.

 

[senob44]

Well, I really don't know what to say. I think it is probably more than just a coincidence that you thought about your friend when you saw the story on the news. Like squally said, maybe you developed some sort of strange connection to this girl and somehow you knew.:dunno:

BTW, it was good that you did not go to the police or tell her mother, because like you speculated, they might suspect you had something to do with it. Plus you really didn't have any information that could help them. It's just a weird feeling that unfortunately you'll have to deal with. But really, it's not a bad thing, just a feeling you had.

 

[Peter Gazinya]

Well....weird. But telling ANYONE about this will do you no good. As Senob said you know nothing that could help any investigation so stay out of that rat's nest. Hate to hear it man, interesting (and sad) story though.

I've heard of similar incidents before. In fact, it's happened to me a time or two. The most recent time this happened was about 10 years ago when I was in high school. There was a girl in my English that I never had any contact with, until one evening when I played a solo guitar piece for the school talent show. This was one of the first, if not the first, times I had played a classical guitar solo in front of an audience, so I was really nervous, and I was worried that I had sounded terrible, especially because there were a couple places where I had screwed up. When I was walking off the stage, thinking of how badly I had done, the first person that said anything to me was the girl in my English class, who was co-emceeing the event. She said, "That sounded really good. I really liked it." That was the first time, and, come to think of it, the only time, she said anything to me. About 2 months later, during spring break, for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about her, and the only words she had ever spoken to me kept resonating in my mind. When we resumed class a week later, we were informed that she had died on the second day of spring break due to a life-long heart condition that she had been scheduled to have surgery for the day after her death. I never understood why it was that I suddenly started thinking about her when she died, being that we didn't really know each other and we had hardly even spoken in the past.

OK this is freaky.

About three weeks ago I had the weirdest, somewhat troubled dream. Amongst other things - I saw someone's eyes change. From normal eyes, they changed to eyes with actual metal stars in the place of the eye. It was as if the person was wearing little metal stars instead of eyes. It was scary and horrifying.

Well, a couple of days later......I met a blind man who had on glasses designed with actual stars, one for each eye, inside the sunglasses he was wearing. They replaced the actual lens. It was like looking at two, say, lone stars of Texas. Little metal stars instead of lenses.

If he had not been blind he would have seen the look of horror on my face. :eek:
