I was reminded of movies like Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Whoopi and a Maisie Dobbs novel (? book 3) about psychics.<br /><br />Regarding unusual experiences, I notice that I have different reactions when reading a novel. I just finished a fast read yesterday and I call it my "crying" book.

Turns out he always wrote the opposite sex down. If the mother later mentioned he had guaranteed her the opposite sex of the baby born, he'd pull out his notes and say, "No. I have written here you wanted a boy or a girl."

So often when we write, characters take on lives of their own, and do things that surprise the heck out of the author. Maybe there's a reason for that! <br /><br />Cue the Twilight Zone theme. <br /><br />I've had so many inexplicable experiences in my life, including a firsthand encounter with a spirit, that I'm inclined to suspend disbelief. How arrogant of us, to believe we know all there is to know about the universe.

Being one myself and coming from several generations of intuitives, yes, everyone works slightly differently. Great for a writer because you can have an open field to have Misty work any way works for you and the story. Look forward to reading it!

I love that cover, and it bespeaks of a great reading adventure to come. As far as believing in the supernatural, I do believe that there is much we don't comprehend about our world, here and beyond. And, having had an intense experience that I've already talked about here on Reds, I have to believe that we would do well to pay attention to signs or messages sent our way.

As far as strange happenings, I'm open but apparently not open enough! Ghosts go on vacation when I've toured haunted buildings. I almost got my tarot cards read at Mallory Square last December. Almost. I decided not to because I was afraid I'd be disappointed by the experience. I did get my palm read in New Orleans years ago but I don't remember that anything stuck out. She did predict that I'd have a health scare but I would be fine. A couple of months later I had my gall bladder removed but that doesn't rate as a health scare in my book!
