the real reason???!

Well i do believe in the paranormal but i want to see if my theory holds up under scrutiny so let me begin. say a mother wakes up one night goes into her daughters room takes her daughter out of bed apparently spur of the moment the mother was in a daze but her mind told her to get her daughter right? so a hour or so later the mother wakes up to a terrific crash in the childs room she goes to check only to see that a cieling fan had fallen right where the childs head would have been was it paranornal insight or a coincedence? now moving on my theory suggest that it was indeed a insight but maybe not paranormal first off unless she lived through it twice theres no guarantee that the child would have been hurt the child may have moved or gotten to go to the restroom correct? now maybe that ceiling fan looked as if it was about to fall for quite a while i mean it wasnt brand new there had to be some outgoing signs of decadence am i right in assuming that? maybe the mothers mind subcounciously knew the fan would fall it probably worried the mother but she kept forgetting so her mind was able to analyze by looking at the decadence a day that the fan would fall and maybe even the hour our mins are powerful never underestimate them so you see where om gatting at it was insight but not from the paranormal by looking and subconsiosly marking and taking notes the mother was able to accurately predict the fall of said ceiling fan so how does my theory sound does it make sense?

I see what you mean AssasinX. I would tend to think that either it was just a coincidence or the mother was somehow subconsiously aware of something being wrong but not in a psychic way.

I saw a thing on tv yesterday where a little dog went crazy one night and woke it's owners ten minutes before an electical fire broke out. OK so dogs have a good sense of smell and the wires were most likely smoldering in the walls but who's to say that humans don't have similar senses that are there but just don't register at a consious level. The mother walks into the room and without her being consiously aware of it her mind has clocked that the fan is a couple of milimetres out from it's normal alignment. Without registering what exactly is wrong her protective instinct tells her to move her child without her really understanding why.

I had an experience once while driving of turning a corner and finding myself behind a car with a surfboard on it's roof. I didn't consciously notice anything unsafe about it.. i.e it wasn't flapping about or anything. The thought that went through my head was "I don't want that coming in on top of us" and I slowed down, not just to a safe distance but I slowed right down to about 5 mph til the car was a long way off in front. I was aware of my passenger looking at me funny and I just started to question myself as to why I had slowed down so much when the surfboard did indeed come off the top of the car, caught and surfed the wind for a moment then tumbled on the ground not far in front of me. If I hadn't slowed to the extent I did it would definitely have hit us, probably on the windscreen pointy end first which would not have been good!

So why did I slow down that much? Was it just ridiculously careful driving or had I actually subconsiously clocked that the thing was insecurely tied?
See I think that's what 6th sense is.. and I wouldn't necessarily call it paranormal... just parts of the brain kicking in in a different way that we don't quite understand.

i wouldnt class the op post as paranormal as such - precognition maybe, which to me is more of a mind/brain thing. then again how far reaching is the term paranormal?

We dont understand it ..... so is that not paranormal? Or is it?

I mean paranormal in the sense of being a psychic prediction or precognition.

I think it's all part of the normal senses which are probably whirring away in the background taking note of everything around us without us being consciously being aware of it, sometimes giving us hunches, gut instincts, intuition without us necessarily understanding why. Maybe it's the ordinary senses working at a more intense level, seeing or hearing or smelling things (subconsiously) that might be dangerous etc.

So to me it's "normal" senses working in a way that isn't clear cut and easy to understand. Is that paranormal?

Wow thats exactly my theory i thank you for putting it into words better understood im seclusive so my vocabulary isnt exactly ''hip'' if you know what i mean.
