the many stories from my life that

included many synchronicity stories, a ghost story (video),
coincidences and psychic
happenings, in no particular order:
THE URGE TO PAINT My first wife Nancy passed away from ovarian cancer in January of 2004. About a year before (and before she got sick) she suddenly had the urge to go out and buy paints, brushes and an easel. She wanted to try painting wildlife. After a couple of frustrating attempts, she gave up. Around the same time this happened, she also applied and was interviewed for a job as a picture framer at a local art gallery. She never got the job. Six months after Nancy passed away I met my second wife, Deb. On our first date I asked her what hobbies she had and what she did for a living. She told me that she painted (wildlife) and that she was a picture framer at an art gallery. Right then I knew that things were going to work out for us. Later on we also learned that both art galleries (75 miles apart) had the same number (44) for their address. PSYCHIC

SPARKS The Internet is pretty amazing for finding old friends,
and
even old girlfriends (with the wife's knowledge and approval, of
course.) My very first girlfriend was from California. I had gotten to
know her (and meet her) thanks to being in a fan club for one of my
favorite bands, Sparks, starting out as pen pals in 1978, and then her
visiting Canada for a week, and me also visiting her city of California
for three weeks. We broke up in the summer of 1980. I was so sad that I
put a personal ad in a Toronto newspaper (actually a column called
"Have Your Say") asking for pen pals to write to. One of the pen pals
ended up being my first wife, Nancy.
Anyway, after finding my first girlfriend on Facebook a couple of years ago, I contacted her. When I was doing this I had to type the usual gibberish for the captcha code (when you have to type in stupid letters and numbers.) The captcha code I had to type in was "sparkz". THE POWER OF
WORDS
I am known online for my comedy videos and stories but I have a more spiritual, serious side also. About ten years ago the first line of what was to become my poem "Salvation" came to me, although I believe it actually came to me from an unknown source. I got on the computer and more lines came to me. This certainly did not seem like my writing and some of the lines I was either confused or even embarrassed to write, but I went with the flow... At the time I was on a music site uploading my comedy songs and with each song I uploaded I would receive several comments from other artists. Occasionally I would get a negative remark and one day I had a very nasty comment and I decided to reply to this person. However, for whatever reason, instead of writing him back a nasty email, I just sent him the Salvation poem I had recently written. He wrote back the next day and said that the poem had really affected him and made him cry. He apologized to me for his actions. This really surprised me, as I was not expecting that kind of reaction and I then realized the power of words. SALVATION the foundation of spirit is beyond the light it can be seen even in the darkness of night feel it in your heart and see it in your soul salvation of love is the only goal angels may appear to you in a moment of distress the beating heart holds all the truthfulness remember lies are deceit and torment is pain thunder is lightning and snow is rain merging together and falling apart the soul separates again from the heart dearly departed into the skies above all fear vanishes into final love prayers may go unheeded or so you think for what is a chain without a link smiles are forthcoming to all the sad faces on earth as time is at hand for the rebirth MAYBE
I'M
PSYCHIC
AFTERALL...
On a walk I started thinking of a YouTube
friend of
mine,
who goes by the username TrickyRicky77. He had come down to our house
from Toronto a few months back to have a reading with my wife Debra,
who is psychic. I was thinking that he should call her again and have
another reading, although I don't know why I was thinking that.
After my walk, I went on my laptop and entered my YouTube account. I
was
rather shocked to see an email from Rick and he was asking if he could
possibly get another reading by phone with Deb. Also around this time I
had two more rather strange coincidences (or psychic connections...)One day I started thinking that my wife had never had a teddy bear negligee or top and I thought she would look really nice (er...sexy) wearing one. A few hours later I was once again on my laptop and Deb came up to me and asked me "What do you think of this?", and I looked up and she was wearing a teddy bear top that her daughter had just given her. On another day around the same time I had taken my stepdaughter to her work. Later in the day I was thinking that she was going to phone home saying she was sick and needed to be picked up. I quickly disregarded this thought though, as she had not done that in a few months. A few hours later I was on my walk and I noticed my wife coming down the road in her car. She pulled down the window and said she was going to pick up Elyse as she called from work saying she was sick. THE WARNING About three years ago I was on a music site and had
many of
my comedy songs there, which always made the music charts. Along came
another
comedy artist who did not seem to like me very much, probably out of
jealousy. There was a lot of bickering back and forth between a lot of
people about the charts and cheating. I was also accused by him of
chart manipulation with fake accounts.
One day I found out that he had many other accounts and was using these to rate his songs and get them placed higher on the charts. I decided to make a video regarding this matter, with snapshots of the various accounts. As I was editing the video my wife Deb was in the kitchen saying "I am getting that you should not be doing this". She felt it was a warning from my first wife Nancy. Being the typical man who doesn't listen to his "wives", I started to upload the video when suddenly the computer shut off completely. This really shocked me and was further proof that maybe I shouldn't upload the video. Being thickheaded and slightly stupid, I restarted the computer and uploaded it. Needless to say it really was not worth doing and I regreted what I had done. This artist and myself finally apologized to each other and moved on with our stupid comedy songs...and I also learned to listen to Deb and Nancy more often. UFO SIGHTING In October of 2008 there was a lot of talk on the Internet about there being a "UFO reveal". This was announced by the psychic Blossom Goodchild. She said there would be a massive extraterrestrail spacecraft revealing itself on October 14th. Since I "sort of" believed in UFO's and know for certain my wife does, I was pretty interested in this. Sadly no huge UFO revealed itself on the day mentioned, and Blossom was attacked and laughed at by many of the skeptics. I didn't laugh as much though, as the night of October 13th my wife and I decided to sit out back at night on our deck and look up at the sky. Without saying a word to each other we were both hoping we would see a UFO. After about five minutes of looking up at the star filled sky I saw a very strange and very large blue and white pulsating flash, which made no sound at all. It lasted about three seconds. There was no storm occuring, as it was a clear night. I turned to my wife and said "Did you just see what I saw?" and she said "yes". I also found out that at the same time I was asking for a "sign" she was doing the same thing. It was very freaky but cool, and I have never seen anything like it in my life. EVP RECORDING Some of you might have heard of EVP recordings (Electronic voice phenomena) I have always had a fascination with the unknown and when I met my wife Deb (who also had an interest), things got interesting. I hooked up our microphone to the computer and with the Acid Pro program, I would have the recording level really high and then we would leave the room for about 20 minutes and be very quiet (no TV's or radios on.) Sometimes we would hear nothing on what we recorded, but occasionally we would hear something strange. In fact, I think the best recording we ever got was the first time I did this, when a two or three different foreign voices could be heard. So here is a short recording from three different sessions (and it is best to listen to this with headphones.) click here to listen to the mp3 (or right click on the link to download it to your computer) At 23 seconds you can hear a female voice and it sounds like she says "Deb" (I copied and pasted this section two more times so you can possibly hear it.) At 42 seconds, you will start to hear what sounds like foreign voices... At 58 seconds you can hear a "bang" sound. At 1:24 you can hear what sounds like a female voice saying "Larry" (I also copied and pasted this two more times.) and around 1:35 you can faintly hear chimes in the background. (We had no chimes outside...) SHOPPING AT WALMART This is one of my favorite wacky stories from my life...
A couple of years ago my wife and I went to the local WalMart to get a few items, including a couple of windshield wipers for my car. We place everything in the cart (with the wiper blades in the top little basket.) As we put the items on the conveyor belt we noticed that one of the wiper blades was missing. We looked in the cart and the surrounding area, but it was nowhere to be seen. We figured it must have fallen out on the way to the check out. As my wife paid for everything I went to get my glasses
adjusted at the Optometrist department. I came out and Deb and I
proceeded to leave the store and we noticed that there were two wiper
blades in the basket (although Deb only paid for one.) We got to our
car and I opened the trunk and we started to put everything into the
car, including the two wiper blades that we both could see in the
cart. I turned to grab the wiper blades but suddenly there was
only one wiper blade again (and we were both a witness to this.) It
seems to have once again vanished into thin air and we still have never
seen it.
THE NORTHERN
PIKES
My late wife Nancy and I loved the Canadian rock band The Northern Pikes ("She's Not Pretty", "The Things I Do For Money", "Kiss Me, You Fool".) Around 1999 we actually got to know the band, as I was helping out their guitarist Bryan Potvin with his website. When they were recording one of their albums they let us visit the studio and we had a very nice visit for a couple of hours. We also saw them in concert in Toronto a handful of times. They were very supportive when Nancy passed away, and Bryan dedicated the song "Snow In June" to her at a concert in Kingston, Ontario. After I remarried, one day while I was at work I started thinking that I should get rid of all of the Pikes cd's. Not that I did not like them anymore, or that it brought any kind of bad memories. It was just something I was contemplating, with no real reason behind it. On the way home from work that day, which was a 15 minute drive, I switched on the local radio station (although I usually prefer to listen to CD's) and there was a Northern Pikes song playing, which of course got me thinking about my thoughts earlier at work. After the song was over, another Northern Pikes song came on the radio. They never play the same band twice in a row on the radio (unless it is some kind of special, which this wasn't) so needless to say, I still have all my Northern Pikes music. THE NORTHERN PIKES 2004
 THE RETURN
During another psychic reading I had something strange
happened, but I never noticed until the next day when I played back the
recording at work (listening on headphones)
I was shocked to hear someone say "Larry" right after the psychic said "you'd better have a chunk of change"... and the voice is of my late wife Nancy. Also, there was no one near our table (the rest of the tape it is all just muffled background noises...) Audio here THE BROKEN
CHAKRA WAND
In 2007 my oldest son wanted Deb to try and contact his mother. He asked her a couple of questions and Deb recieved the messages back from Nancy. The last question he asked Deb, she struggled and struggled to get the answer but Deb said that his mother seemed to be getting very frustrated and upset, and Deb could not figure out Nancy's message. There was a chakra wand made of amethyst on the table and it suddenly broke in half with a large snap. (I was a witness to this sound...) Deb picked up the two halves and it had broken at the point of the heart chakra. She turned to Ryan and said "She says your being sad is breaking her heart, but did she have to break my wand?"  The next day I videotaped my son as he told the story about the rod breaking. A few weeks later I played back the tape (which was taken directly from the hard drive on my camcorder...) and I was surprised to hear music in the background while he was talking, as the TV or radio were not on at the time I was taping. The music had a certain "new age" sound to it and it seemed to build and build as he talked about the experience. At one point he says the word "chakra" and right after there is a mysterious voice that repeats the word in the background. It's all a mystery...and you can watch the video here in three different formats: mpg quicktime windowsmedia THE DREAM
I had discussed looking at a house on Colonial Road with this co-worker previously but had not seen the house yet. The next day it was time to have a tour of the house and it was perfect and we have lived here very happily for the past five years. I also know it is the kind of house that Nancy would have loved also. GOOD MORNING! My wife Debra is psychic and can sometimes hear or sense spirits around her. One day out of frustration I said to her "I wish I could hear voices!", as I have such an interest in all of this new age "stuff". The next morning I was laying in bed after waking up and I heard a male voice say "good morning". I knew it wasn't my wife's voice or my cat... THE URGE TO PAINT My wife told me that a few months before we met that she had a male friend who was discussing her previous marriage breakup and her wondering about someone knew coming into her life. He said to her, "Don't worry, some day you'll meet your studmuffin". My comedy name is "Canadian Studmuffin". REAL GHOST STORY Below is a real ghost story, as told by my wife Deb Graves.
