So i was responding to this post on a Swedish forum, in short, i was mocking paranormal things that humans used to believe in, and the importance of actual evidence.

As i'm writing it gets interrupted and a folder pops up on the screen (like how it is when you insert a USB-stick and its content just pops up).

It just so happens to be the exact folder i was thinking about (a folder of images) yesterday, and which i gave up on finding because my C disk is just a total mess of folders with training images for machine learning (that i never cared to name responsibly so they're easy to find). To find this folder i would have to go through tons and tons of folders in the root of C..

I'm going through in my head how this is possible and i really can't think of anything. I'm on a new keyboard so my first thought when the fucking folder pops on the screen i'm thinking i must by accident have hit two keys and some sort of macro or shortcut was executed, then i saw the content and it was a bit of a WTF moment. Obviously i also thought remote desktop / hacked by someone, still doesn't explain how that exact folder opens up lol

Anyways, i turned off my computer for a while to think. I now also scanned it for virus.

Is it time to call an Exorcist? Smile

Anyone else got any paranormal computer activities to share?

I just had it happen to me Laughing Win 11, was just watching a YT video, and an explorer window popped up randomly (no precise location, just the "home" view of the explorer window I guess) Laughing

Maybe there is a keyboard combination for bringing up folders you've clearly opened a few times and you managed to use it.

Naturally this is a ghost right?

This synchronicity shit is so weird.

Wanting to text a long-time acquaintance? You messaged yourselves at the same litteral second, even if you didn't text for months, stuff like that.

Makes you wonder if there is actually something going on there, or if it's just random luck.

My 2 cents? Something somewhat global or whatever makes you think of specific people or things, like a suggestive/subliminal one, that both parties interpret the same way, at the same time?

I have no clue, but it happened so many times in my life, that it just leaves me wondering why.

Yeah it's odd.. For me the synchronicity happens a lot with one specific friend of mine. I was thinking about a certain thing that i haven't thought about in perhaps 15-20 years (a stupid webpage with comic-stuff that was popular during early Internet). Then when i'm in laying there in the bath just relaxing and having fun thinking about that page i get a message from my friend who sends me an archived image from that page (no, not something he's done before).
??? Similar things has happened before with this specific friend.

But sure, things are always happening, you're constantly thinking or doing things, sometimes two things will naturally occur at the same time, but it does feel odd when it happens.

Well today was a funny one. Was thinking of going to an italian restaurant here and started getting myself ready, then a friend calls and asks me if we should go to that restaurant. It's been ages since we went out eating together. I thought it was a funny coincidence at least. Maybe he has ghosts in his head telling him that i was going there so he called :O
