Christ I am going to sound like some kind of weirdo but here goes,

I agree with the above totally!

We had some very bad news in that a very close friend of the family died around 20 years ago at 54 years old of a massive heart attack ( I learnt afterwoods when I was a bit older his was on the job!!) and about 10 mins after we got the news we were on the landing and stairs and the house lights flashed on and off 3 times which freaked everybody out. Anyway my brother was very very close to this guy and was suffering from exactly what was explained above, and could not get any sleep for around 6 months . They one morning (he was about 6-7 at the time) he said uncle Percy had sat at the bottom of his bed and told him not to worry about him and he was very happy! He didnt seem in the bit phased by this at all and never had a problem with sleep to this day as far as I am aware!

I am fully aware all this sounds like a load of shit!

The chap I am talking about used to work for Charles Clarke of Shrewsbury back in the day (60/70s) as a paint sprayer and started at the same time as 4 other guys. Within 6 months they were all dead, 2 of leukimea, him of a heart attack and the other rolling a XR2I in the snow! Makes you wonder about the paint as I was told breathing gear was sparse to say the least!
