i never used to believe in that stuff. but one thing that always gave me pause was that when my uncle died, my da, who was also dying and doped up and put of it, woke up calling his name. exact time that he died.
for other reasons, i read up about banshees, and yeah. i believe.

i also found out that in families whose names start w o', the women are said to have visions.
my grandmother was an o'regan. i have had more than a few, including one that saved my son from drowning. so, yeah, never gonna question my 'gut' again.
