If someone tells me ghosts do not exist, I certainly won't argue with them. However, I do try to keep an open mind about things. As the great physicist, Carl Sagan, said, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". And something happened to us lately that might even be evidence.
Tracy's mom was married to a man named Don for many years. Don was a tough old guy who was a paratrooper in the Korean War. Don had very strong opinions on almost any subject you wanted to discuss and he was always ready to share his opinions and speak his mind. I spent many enjoyable evenings talking with Don, having friendly arguments, and listening to his war stories
During the last year of his life, Don and his wife, Sue, (Tracy's mom) moved to Florida to be near his kids. When Don passed in Sept. 06, Tracy's mom wanted to move back to Tennessee. We helped her to move back and set up a manufactured home on the lot we own beside of us.
For Christmas that year we gave most of our family and friends "Atomic Clocks" as gifts. They look like this.
The clocks pick up the signal from the national atomic clock so it always shows the accurate time, day, and date. Note the day of the week displayed in the lower right corner.
Now what I am about to show you might be explained by somebody. If you know why it did this please let me know. It is still very strange that out of the dozen or so clocks that we gave away, this is the only one that ever did this.
A few days ago Sue was sitting in her living room thinking about Don, as she often does, when she looked up at her clock to see this.
I don't think that "Don" is a day of the week. There probably is a perfectly good explanation for this but......Hey Don. If that was you. It was nice hearing from you.
The next day, the clock was back to normal.
