    One had called a friend and said something like "Tell my mum I love her" she was found dead at the bottom of a lake the next day.

    How do people know:confused:

    In that case, I would assume because she knew she was going to top herself.

    She didn't top herself, the boat tipped and the girls cousin also died too, their friend managed to make it to the shore

    That was sad but I have to say I AWAYS knew I would die when I was 33... and that was a good many years ago. Had your father a history of heart disease? I had a work colleague whose male members of the family all died at 50 and he was determined not to. After a heart attack, he returned to work and took up a fitness and healthy eating regime. So determined was he, he eventually GAVE aerobic classes only to die of another heart attack whilst leading one, at the age of 49. Very sad but I believe giving gym classes was sheer madness for a man with his health record.


    he had a hole in his heart as a child- but the doctors said it had vanished when he was 21- it clearly hadn't, but my dad believed he was in perfect health, so there was no real reason he could definitely say he would die at 45 :confused: =/

    Question:

    I'm sure we've all heard the stories about someone saying good bye and then they die, I heard on the news today about 2 people out on a boat drunk, One had called a friend and said something like "Tell my mum I love her" she was found dead at the bottom of a lake the next day.

    How do people know:confused:

    Answer:

    When a thumping great 2 metre wide transition tunnel opens up at a 45 degree angle in front of them (looking a bit like hyperspace trip in sci-fi series) with a bright light that looks about 2km away but starts to resolve itself into a a pristine, peaceful landscape as you drift closer to it through said tunnel. For most people it's a one way trip!

    My Nan used to say a tearful farewell to her aunt every year when she visited her in the summer.

    My Nan lived to 91 and her aunt to 101. They had decades of farewells just in case it was the last time.

    NO IT'S NOT! It's all bull****. No one knows what will happen in the future and no one knows when our time on earth will end :yawn:

    I'm sorry, I thought the majority of people on here were intelligent enough to recognise humour/sarcasm - I was obviously spotted by the one isn't ... :D

    When i was about 10 my grandad said "I am going to enjoy this xmas, because its the last one i will see, i am going to die soon".

    When i was 15 he still said it.

    When i was 20 he still said it.

    When i was 21 he said to me "All those times i thought i was going to die before the next xmas, i suppose i was being a bit of a misery really".:)

    He died two weeks before xmas that same year:eek: (aged 81)

    I guess he had no idea:o

    I guess that your body gives you "signs" and starts slowly shutting down, which is likely how these people know that their end is near.

    Not everyone knows they are going to die because you could get hit by a car or be stabbed in the street.

    We're ALL going to die in 2012 - the ancient mayans predicted it ! December 21st apparently - so no worries about Xmas presents that year! :D

    I'm going to die on Wednesday June 25th 2059 :D

    So that means I'll be 79 :D

    If I was a pessimistic person, I'd die Friday March 28th 2042, making me 62.

    If I was an optimistic, I'd die Monday 5th August 2069 so I'd be 89 :D

    If I was a sadistic person, I'd die Tuesday June 25th 2019, making me 39 :eek: Thank God I'm not sadistic :D

    So be optimistic people, you might live another 10 years ;)

    Another thing I have heard is some people will say " I don't feel to well, I'm going up for a lie down" next thing they're dead on the bed

    That's very weird, it happened to someone I know. Said almost exactly these words, no hint of any illness (in fact, her husband was the one who had been seriously ill), and when her husband went to look for her, she was dead. Is it a different kind of "not feeling too well", i.e. does the person concerned feel something they've never felt before and that's just how they describe it?

    If this cat comes for a cuddle you know you're in trouble:

    That is VERY scary! We had a cat called Oscar who looked just like that! He was a stray that we took in for a while, then he disappeared and turned up at a local vet's after being run over. He had to be put down because he was too badly injured. Do you think he's come back from the dead, like in that TV series?

    People know they are going to die, because it has been seven years since they gave a house to a relative to avoid Inheritance Tax.

    There was an elderly lady I knew who used to attend every function at her religious building, especially the yearly congregational meeting. She never missed one. Then one year, when she was very old, she didn't come and sent a letter of apology, which I read out, saying that she thought she'd been there long enough, or something similar. Next morning, it was found that she'd died peacefully in her sleep. I found it very strange that she could well have died at that exact moment I was reading out her letter.

    Regarding knowing when other people have died, I had a second cousin who died in a climbing accident. I hadn't seen her for years, I didn't even know she liked climbing, and I only caught in passing the surname and the place she came from on the news. I told my family that she had died, and they all thought I was mad until they caught up with the news reports.

    omg i know that smell only too well with being a psychic medium, and its horrible.
    the only way i can explain it is an icey cold smell, and it gets right at the back of your throat.

    *shudders* :(


    you are a medium? do you specialise in tarot?

    I wonder if that makes me psychic?

    I used to have a friend called Michael who I'd see every Summer when I went to stay with my gran. We'd play together. When we were 14 we were talking about getting married and he said 'You know, I'd marry you but I don't think I'll make it to that age'. He also gave me his copy of 'Kidnapped' which was like his prized posession.

    I just laughed thinking he was being all morbid but he died in an accident two days later:(

    My Nana also called out 'Father' just before she died.

    Yeah my Mum said that also, she's a Nurse, all very odd

    I am a nurse and there IS a smell on someone close to death! Its odd, and you cant explain it, but when you are there, you smell it, and you know they are just minutes from death!

    My mum died six years ago really suddenly. We were in obviously in shock, but my cousin came around the day before my mum passed away with a bouquet of flowers for her, saying she just felt compelled to pop in and see her!

    I always found that a strange coicidence.

    Does it linger? Only I have been with someone when they died and I didn't notice anything. I lifted him so he was leaning back in his chair, thinking he was still alive. It was only later that I realised he had actually died a few moments earlier.

    I feel it does yes. It clings to me, and I can still smell it when I get home. Its like melaena.

    Just googled that. Don't know what it smells like, but not nice I guess. No, I never noticed anything of that sort.
