That is some crazy stuff. I do believe in spirits. Maybe they aren't spirits but they are something. When I was a kid I use to day dream about stuff like daydreaming about walking through the halls and someone dropping their sodo on the ground and then a couple of hours later I would walk through the hall and that person dropped their soda just like i dreamed it.

There are a lot of crazy things that can't be explained scientifically.

I just have to share our Bay Area legend with you all:

snopes.com: Haunted Toys 'R' Us

I rented a house a few miles away from this store when I first moved to CA and it was the first time, I actually considered that I wasn't alone, but I don't think it was related to the store.

Which was weird because I always carry milk and juice in my purse for my kids.

We then went to sit down because the step father was having an attack of vertigo and debating if he should stay home. In the den it was me, my husband, Mother in law, her husband, my Dad and my step mom, my husbands aunt plus my 2 little ones.

We were sitting around the coffee table just chatting when the step fathers lighter lifted up about maybe 12 inches and the flew across the room until it hit the wall by the fireplace. We just sat there not saying anything for about a minute without saying anything, then we all started to panic a little.

We have talked to his Mother and nothing weird has happened since Mothers Day.

But I did think I saw her or something when she died. I saw this black smoke, actually it looked like how black oil would look in water. It just sat at the bottom of my bed then finally came up next to me. I reached out, no temp change and it dissapeared. Everyone told me I was upset about my mom's passing and I was tired and I was just seeing things. They were probably right.
Let's put two and two together here. It was "Mother's Day"...you were at your husband's Mom's house to take her out for Mothers Day. You were surrounded by Mother's, Dad's, Step Mom's. The baby bottle in your purse started to squirt...the spirit wanted to get your attention before the lighter went flying. This spirit was meant for YOU! I'd say it was indeed your Mother trying yet again to make some sort of contact. The first time was the black smoke incident when she died but you "poo-pooed" the situation at the time.

My take on this is that your Mother was trying to make contact with you on Mother's Day...to let you know she's still present in some way...maybe that she see's and in some way knows your children. A question I have is "did your Mother smoke by any chance"? Or do you smoke and did your Mother ever want you to quit the habit if you do? All this is food for thought at least.

Maybe your Mother was merely trying to wish you a happy Mother's Day?

Sure, tons of them.

What we REALLY need is a paranormal forum on CD. No religion, no fundy's or Wiccans, just a place to relate ghost stories maybe a few photo's...

Hint, hint......

It's Fathers Day and I'm getting some strange occurrences here while I work the BBQ and get things ready for dinner. I've had some great memories going through my head while working, and it feels like I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye while I'm tending to the duties.

Consider the possibility that your Dad just wanted to drop in to see how you're doing.

Ya just never know!

These are my most likely explanations for what happened.

1. The original post is not true.
2. Someone very clever with electronics and remote control of some sort rigged the lighter with some sort of means to elevate and fly.
3. The lighter malfunctioned or was exposed to heat or pressure or something and the fuel in lighter burned or exploded and acted like a small rocket.
4. The person or persons in the room were somehow hypnotized either deliberately or accidentally and somehow where all convinced this happened.
5. Similar to above but with drugs or narcotics causing a hallucination perhaps by one person who managed to convince the others what happened.
6. Someone bumped the coffee table in a very strange way and the lighter was lifted in a one in a million way which made it appear it was flying or was levitated then flew.

690000. A ghost or something supernatural was involved.

I believe that spirits are real, we even have one, some are discarnate, that is what is involved in some of these stories you hear. I have not experienced any external "spirit activity" or anything that I could conceive to be such (despite living in Windsor Castle for 12 years, a ghost hotspot apparently) but I still believe it. It's actually not so much a belief than a deep down intuition that we all have a spriritual nature.
