I would go to photocopy something and the copier would tell me it was out of paper. No problem: I get out a fresh pack, put it in the tray, close it up and try again. Out of paper, it says. I check the tray and it\u2019s empty, and there\u2019s a fresh pack of paper sitting on the table.

At the time, I didn\u2019t yet have a full license so I was limited to riding around on a beat-up old GT100. One day it was parked outside a friend\u2019s house when we popped out to get a drink from the local shop. When we returned, I looked at it and thought, <span lang=\"en-US\"><i>There\u2019s something stuffed in the spark plug cap<\/i><\/span>. The cap was properly secured, and there was nothing visible, but I knew something was in there. I popped the cap off and, sure enough, somebody had wedged a folded up piece of newspaper in there, presumably as a prank, because if I\u2019d tried to start the bike up it wouldn\u2019t have fired, and that would have been the first thing I checked\u2014after all, nothing says prank like being mildly inconvenienced for 10 seconds. On no other occasion had I felt compelled to check inside the cap for foreign objects. Who knows, maybe the prankster saw something that made them think,<span lang=\"en-US\"><i> I should stuff something in that spark plug cap<\/i><\/span>.

That is, until one fateful Sunday when my roommate had headed out early to get a boat to Amsterdam for a wedding, to return early Monday afternoon. I had the whole place to myself, and after getting done everything that I needed to do, I settled in for the evening for a few movies and, perhaps, more than a few beers. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">About twenty minutes in, I suddenly became aware that somebody else was in the flat.

I returned my attention to the movie and no sooner had I relaxed did that same awareness hit me like a shovel marked \u2018Boo!\u2019 Somebody else was in my flat! <\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I didn\u2019t know how they could be, but they were there. I had a look around and checked every room, every place that somebody could hide, and found nothing. The front door was locked and all the windows were shut. I even checked the loft. Nobody else was in there, but as soon as I tried to return to the movie, that same overwhelming sense of dread returned and I couldn\u2019t talk myself down from it. It was as if my brain had slipped up and forgotten to register in my internal space map that my roommate was out for the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It was terrifying and going to bed didn\u2019t help.

He rings the doorbell and shortly after a woman answers. He says to her, <span lang=\"en-US\"><i>This is Seth, who I was telling you about<\/i><\/span>. She replies, <span lang=\"en-US\"><i>We\u2019ve met<\/i><\/span>. Me and Jack exchanged puzzled glances, and she goes on to explain to me that Jack had been telling her about me on Sunday, so she thought she\u2019d go and check me out. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Jack adds, by way of supplemental explanation, that she astral projects. Suddenly it all made sense. <span lang=\"en-US\"><i>So that was you in my house?<\/i><\/span> I blustered, and she nodded her head with a proud beam. <span lang=\"en-US\"><i>I was bloody terrified! Do me a favour and don\u2019t do that again!<\/i><\/span> I said in no uncertain terms<span lang=\"en-US\"><i>. <\/i><\/span>She seemed genuinely surprised I was aware of her presence, because people usually were not. Two decades later, I still can\u2019t explain that. I hadn\u2019t mentioned my paranoid experience to anybody at the time, and especially not to Jack, because he was exactly the sort of person that would use such information to pull off exactly that sort of prank.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Since moving away from England, these events more or less stopped, but occasionally they\u2019d resurface, giving little hints of their presence, just to be safe. There was a fun incident in October 2001, where a friend sent me an email with a news link\u2014this was before social media. Turned out that George Harrison (one of the Beatles, apparently) had died of throat cancer. Oh well, I thought. I was never a fan, although I knew their names. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Then, at the end of November, I\u2019m browsing the news and I see an article saying that George Harrison had died of throat cancer the night before. Must be an old article, I thought, but I checked the date and it was current. So I tried to find the original article I\u2019d read and it was nowhere to be found. I also checked my mail history from a month earlier. Nothing. It was as if it never happened. It took some time before I was even willing to entertain that he had in fact died the night before, not a month earlier, and something I had known for an entire month I had not in fact known at all. This still perplexes me to this day.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Another fun one is more recently when dropping my daughter off at school in the mornings. Most days I\u2019ll run into the same parents, which isn\u2019t strange at all, until I noticed the pattern: on the way there, I would pass one parent sans child along a particular short stretch of road; two other parents would arrive while I was offloading little\u2019n; a fourth I would pass with her two kids on the way home along a slightly different short stretch of road. Every morning for months it was that exact pattern, never deviating, and it was predictive! For fun, I tried switching things up a bit: I\u2019d leave a few minutes earlier, or a few minutes later than normal, and they\u2019d all adjust their timing to compensate. This went on for months, and didn\u2019t stop until I explained it to the Mrs, and decided to video it for proof.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Just earlier today, I was sat at my computer looking at a translation request. I\u2019d gotten part way through and suddenly felt my ability to work would be dramatically improved if I had a hot cup of tea and a biscuit by my side. So I popped into the kitchen to make one, and when I came back, I looked over the work I\u2019d done so far, and apparently I must have carried on working while not sitting there because it was now finished. Some of the sentences were long and would have required considerable thought to get through. Also, I recognised the writing style\u2014there was no question I had done the work, moments earlier, simultaneously sitting at my workspace and standing in the kitchen, it would seem.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Honestly, I don\u2019t know if these incidents are indicative of a genuine supernatural presence, or a declining mental state. What I do know though, is that whatever it is seems to be having a great deal of fun with it, at my expense.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
