Over the past 12 hours, I saw two cases of a possible connection between something I was thinking and some spooky thing I observed.
The first event occurred in the middle of the night. While getting up to go the bathroom, and alone in a bathroom that was dark except for the tiny green light on a GFCI electrical outlet, I thought to myself about a type of observation pattern that may indicate heart trouble. "Get enough of those, and you'll go to the right destination," I thought to myself. The "right destination" I thought of was a heavenly destination of an afterlife.
Within about three seconds after thinking that thought, the light on the GFCI outlet turned off and then very quickly turned back on.
I can't say that this was a very rare type of event. My post here records more than 70 times (since 2022) that the GFCI outlet light mysteriously turned off and then immediately turned back on, almost all occurring when the bathroom was dark at night. But the synchronicity here was striking. In this case the mysterious turning off and on of the light occurred within about three seconds after I had thought about life after death. How improbable is that?
There was another case of striking synchronicity later in the day. After showering, I thought of a dream I had last night about a planned meeting with my mother at 4:00. My mother is deceased, but in the dream she was alive. At the very moment I was thinking of this dream, the tension bar holding up my shower curtain collapsed, with the curtain falling to the ground. I cannot recall the previous time such a rod had collapsed, and no such collapse had occurred for many months before today (it seems).
Again we have some striking synchronicity between my thought and a spooky event, this time with a possible double death motif. When the tension rod collapsed, I was thinking of a meeting with my mother (something that might occur after death in an afterlife). And also there was a collapse of a curtain. In English "curtains" is a slang term for death (and when old people die, it often involves a collapse).
I seem to sometimes get spooky events that coincide in a relevant way with something I am thinking or saying. For example, as recorded in my post here, just after audibly mentioning that it was my mother's 100th birthday, I was baffled to find a coin on top of a bedspread I had just laid out on a bed, without noticing any such coin. My post here records a striking case of synchronicity, in which the flashlight on my iPhone (very hard to turn on accidentally) mysteriously turned on within a few seconds after I mentally speculated about being protected by some supernatural power. My post here records the mysterious turning off of a circuit breaker when I lay in bed thinking of my late father (on a date that turned out to be my late father's birthday). A case of a smoke alarm acting in a spooky manner coinciding with my thoughts of deceased parents is recorded here. In my post here, I mention how a light mysteriously flickered at the very moment I was discussing what to do in the case of my death. Later in the same dinner conversation, I saw a different light mysteriously flicker when I mentioned the hypothetical event of my death.
To a materialist, all such cases are meaningless coincidences. But to someone who is not a materialist, such cases may be regarded as potential evidence that some mysterious unseen power may interact in our world, a power that may be capable of reading our thoughts.
I can suggest a principle: when you observe some spooky-seeming thing, write down somewhere exactly what happened, and also the exact date and time; and also write down what you were thinking or saying when the spooky thing happened. You may be able to note possibly meaningful or evidential cases of synchronicity.
Postscript: When I went out for my walk around 3:45 PM, I was kind of suspecting somewhat that I might drop dead on the walk, at about 4:00 PM. After all, I had the dream today of meeting my mother at 4:00 PM, and the quickest way that could happen would be if I died at 4:00 PM today and then went to an afterlife to see her. And the dream had been strongly accentuated by the synchronicity described above.
I did not die at 4:00 PM, but at what seemed like exactly that time there occurred an odd event of a type I strongly associate with my mother. I forgot to bring my cell phone, so I didn't know the exact time of the event. My best guess is that it occurred within 5 minutes of 4:00 PM.
What happened was that while walking along, I found on the sidewalk right in my path what seemed like a string of purple flowers (shown below). I picked this up, thinking they were real flowers, and realizing only a few minutes later that they were artificial flowers.
The association between my mother and purple flowers goes way back, many years. Purple was my mother's favorite color, and she often wore purple clothes. The last conversation I had with my late sister was one in which she stated something to the effect that purple flowers she had not planted had mysteriously shown up in my sister's garden after my mother died, and my sister interpreted this as some spiritual manifestation from my late mother. For years I have witnessed (against all odds) a strange blooming of purple flowers in the concrete backyard of where I live, flowers not corresponding to any planted flowers or seeds. You can see examples in my post here and my post here. One of the purple flowers I saw was an amaranth plant. Since ancient times, the amaranth has been a symbol of immortality. I forgot to update those posts to include an example from 2026, but this year there was also (against all odds) a lovely purple-green plant rising up very well from the left edge of my concrete backyard.
