Just been reading two threads on mumsnet and Reddit simultaneously about stuff like this, I love it. Especially time slips, they sound creepy!
One of mine is that as a child I had ‘psychic’ powers. I would be somewhere - usually school - and suddenly everything around me would go quiet, all the conversations would fade out, and I’d ‘see’ in front of me a scenario with a particular person saying something to someone and then as I ‘came back’ the scenario I’d imagined would happen to a tee a few minutes later. Persisted through my teens but then it would be music - I’d imagine someone humming a tune and they would come in humming it, or it would play on the radio/tv/Alexa. Faded away as I grew into an adult before I could predict the lotto though!
Stuff constantly going missing and reappearing in illogical places, my mum crochets blankets for extra cash. It’s only me and her in the house. But one day she put a crochet needle down on the window sill and said to me, remind me that I put it there so I know where to find it later. It was a specific type she needed for a specific blanket and completely different to the other two she had (different size and colour). She put it down on the window sill with force presumably to make sure we both remembered it. I nodded, she went to shower (or whatever) I carried on tattling, I looked up and the needle had gone. Window sill is directly on top of a metal radiator and on a wooden floor so had it fallen I would have heard it. I didn’t. It just disappeared. Gone. Mum was pissed off when she came back, thought I was playing a joke. We turned the house upside down looking for it, didn’t find it anywhere, until about a month later I came into the living room and went skidding across the floor because there it was in the middle of the floor in the living room. As if it had rolled there or been placed there or had been there the entire time, despite us tearing the house to bits. We were baffled. I’m disabled and my mother is a bit neurotic so nothing is EVER left out as a slipping hazard. We blame it on the spirit of the elderly lady (poor sod, falling dying and getting blamed for everything!)
I’m sure Tattle has some good moments. Anyone else?

but back in reality about an hour passed and my friend came back from the bar saying he’d bought raffle tickets (and I thought yep you’ll win a ham) and of course he did but it was verbatim as to how it played out in my premonition.
