    Story 1: Clairvoyant Margaret Dent relates that as a teenager for some reason she joked with her friend Janis that one day they would be sisters and have the same surname. They would puzzle over this comment and thought it may be some sort of carry-over from a previous life. In any case, Margaret was due to marry her long-time friend Paul, even though she was having serious doubts about it. One day M. met a man called Bobby accident. She went out with him that night but felt so guilty about Paul and was such miserable company she felt sure she would not see him again.

    She decided to break her engagement. To her surprise, Bob did ask her out again and she had several dates with him. She told Janis about Bob and Janis asked what his surname was. M. realized with a start she did not know. She wold find out that night.

    It was late when M. returned home that night but she did not wait until morning to ring her friend. -Guess what his surname is..., she began. The well known clairvoyant adds: I married Bob when I was 22 years old, sharing Janis's surname as we had joked I would all that time ago. We have already celebrated our 25. wedding anniversary, so the name Dent has been eith me for more than half my life.

    Story 2: As a child Jean Felkner played a game in which she was grown-up called Mrs Mitchell. Looking back, she would often wonder why she had chosen the play name of Mitchell. Then one day she met a man who impressed her deeply, even more when he said his name-Billy Mitchell. A few years later, now married they went with Billy's mother on a trip to Texas and stopped at the farmhouse where Jean had been born, billy and his mother looked stunned. -But Billy was born there, said the mother. True he had been born in the same house in a bed in the same same position 6 years before Jean.

    Pirate Copy

    Joan Rodenhuis decided to watch a TV programme while taping another going on the air at the same time. She decided to tape over the film The Crimson Pirate and set the video in the lounge before going into the bedroom to watch the other show.

    When she turned on the bedroom TV she saw the Crimson Pirate on the screen.

    - I am not very good at taping so I was stunned that I could pick up the picture of a tape I was trying to erase on a different set, said Joan.

    However the problem was solved a few minutes later when Jeremy Irons came into the picture. His 2 screen children were watching the Pirate in the film Reversal of Fortune.
