The Deer and the Hunter
The deer topped the hill
It was totally unaware
A hunter had it in his stare
The hunter was preparing for the kill
The deer stopped and stood still
This was to the hunter’s care
The hunter fired his gun
The deer heard the shot
It began to run
The hunter had missed his spot
The deer had gotten away
He would live another day.

Was it coincidence or something stranger?
When I was married to my ex-wife, we lived in a house near Marietta Ohio. A little boy aged 5 had drowned in a swimming pool in the backyard of the house. My ex-wife and I noticed unusual activities in the house but thought nothing of them at first. Things would be misplaced when we were certain we had put them in a certain place and so forth. We just thought perhaps we were mistaken.
One night we pulled into the driveway and I had a vision of the little boy being drowned. I described the little boy to my wife right down to what he was wearing. At this point we had no idea that he ever existed. I told her where he was buried. The next day we drove to the cemetery and I took her straight to his grave. On his tombstone was a picture of the little boy wearing the exact clothing that I said he would be wearing. The only thing I had wrong was his name. It was George on the tombstone and I said it would be “Joey”. My ex said that Joey could have been a nickname for George however.
I insisted on going to the health department to look up the cause of death. When we found he had drowned I just about flipped my wig! I don’t believe in coincidences. Do you?
