I met a guy called Mark on a bench on Bournemouth beach last week......
We chatted about the weather and then into the conversation I threw in the fact that I was interested in UFOs.
That opened the floodgates to a mass of weirdness he'd experienced.
He'd seen two UFOs, golden balls in daylight, has had many premonitions which came true and synchronicities seemed to stalk his life.
And it made me wonder - are there some people who are some kind of antennas for anomalous happenings?
Some of his stories - and I did believe him - were remarkable.
Here are a few.
He had ten pub friends who discovered their cars had all broken down on the same day! One of the guys was a journalist and alerted Meridian TV - a south UK broadcaster at the time - who filmed for a news show, the ten at the side of a road thumbing a lift.
One of the friends was late for one of their meets and explained that he'd crashed his Capri car into a closed down Chinese restaurant. The car had caught fire and was towed away after the flames were extinguished by the fire brigade.
The lads decided to go take a look at the damage to the restaurant and some travelled there in an identical Capri car which was quite a trendy set of wheels in those days.
They parked the car outside the restaurant while chatting nearby when suddenly that car also burst into flames.
They called the fire brigade who argued they had already put out the fire in the white Capri car.
No, they explained, this was a second white Capri that had caught fire in exactly the same place!
One day Mark suddenly had a strong thought - Jamie Oliver's Cookbook. He scribbled the words down on some paper and slipped it in a drawer. He wasn't the slightest bit interested in cooking.
Three years later his grandfather died and in his will left him.....Jamie Oliver's Cookbook - nothing else - and he never found out why.
He worked in an office where a secretary was complaining that she couldn't find a client's details and said she needed a VAT number.
"Try 56489752" shouted Mark as a joke. (Similar number)
It turned out to be the correct number.
There were lots more accounts from Mark, including a cemetery entrance where his indicators kept failing on his motor cycle driving test and I encouraged him to document them - but he told me they just 'spooked' him out.
So is Mark a psychic antenna? Is he tuned in to UFOs, synchronicities and other weirdness while most of us go through life simply reading about this stuff?
