I had a falling out with a friend once. Several years later I was taking my family out for dinner. As we approached the restaurant, his name popped into my head and I thought I could feel his presence. I tried to push this feeling out of my mind, but later that evening, I looked over my shoulder, and ... you guessed it ... he was sitting at another table! He was engrossed in conversation with a lady and did not notice me. I'm not absolutely sure it was him since I did not speak to him. But the feeling I had and the resemblance was eerie!

And then .... Around ten years following that incident, I was entering the health club where I workout and again, his name came to mind and I thought I could feel his presence. This was the first time since the previous incident that I had this feeling. I completed my workout and as I was leaving I noticed him at the counter, talking to one of the employees. Again, not positive it was him, but the feeling, the familiarity of the voice, and the resemblance all seemed to match up. Eerie...

I'm certainly not claiming the feeling I had was para-normal in any way; in fact, I'm reasonably sure it wasn't. I think there was something that triggered my awareness at a subconscious level. Still, this was strange.
