You know Belle, Sometimes strange things have happened to me... For instance, I was in a cemetery near where one of my ancestors lived and died and I was looking at the stones trying to find his. Well there was a very old tree about in the middle of the cemetery and a large limb broke off and fell among some stones, so I walked down there to see if it had damaged any of the stones... it didn't. But the stone right beside it was the one that I was looking for. That gave me goose bumps too!!! Strange...
