Not ghost related, but a bit weird I think. So...I have spent the past few days reading this, and the previous thread. I read this comment a few days ago, and it struck me.
A few years ago, I had a vivid dream that felt real. I had this dream a few times where I was living in central London a long time ago (possibly 1700s), I could picture the walk there through the streets and the whole row of houses and where my house was on the left-hand side. I clearly remember walking to my house, and how it looked inside, it was a beautiful row of houses. So, I actually have this thing called Aphantasia (where you can't visualise), but I can dream 'properly', but this I always remembered so clearly.
I have never done this before, as I just considered it a dream but I got on google Maps on Sunday night and took a little street view 'walk' in central London to the spot where I knew I had the dream (in Westminster). I literally gasped as I saw the exact street and the houses, 100% as per my dream - location, look and everything. I decided to google the street name to see some history on it, and this is where it gets weird... the street was owned by this family for hundreds of years from the middle ages. I instantly recognised the surname of the landowners.
I have been doing our family tree for years and have got sooo far back - to the 9th century at some points. Very lucky to get so much info, there is royalty, mistresses, dukes and gentry in there so it had lots of records. Not sure where it all went wrong
Anyway, I went onto my Ancestry account after seeing the name and lo and behold, the family who owned the land / built the street is from my family tree.
My mum is Welsh and we jokingly call her the Welsh witch as she can predict and knows a lot of stuff that is unexplainable. She says she could have 'gone down the path' of seeing stuff but decided not to.
