Speaking of Deja Vu, my grandfather tells a story about a case he had that haunted him for years.
He was part of the English push across France in WW2, and he was driving around a corner and just knew, knew what was around it. He was certain he knew the village.
He was part of the English push across France in WW2, and he was driving around a corner and just knew, knew what was around it. He was certain he knew the village.
As he tells the story, turn after turn he predicted what was around the corner. He was always a very skeptical, very negative person so he never gave any fanciful explanation or theory, he just said it was the most bizarre thing he had ever experienced.
He just said he could describe what was around the bend from memory, though he had never been there.
He never talked much about the war. He was deeply traumatised by his experiences, and was one of the many rescued in Dunkirk. He summarised by saying life is strange.

I asked him if he ever thought about returning to that village after the war. He said he would never go back to Europe. Can't say I blame him with what he went through.
Punch a nazi for him sometime.
