Today I used my downstairs toilet as I often do, and on the floor I found an earring. Well nothing strange in that except it’s not one of mine, I ve never seen it before as far as I know and more than that I rarely have any visitors and certainly no one but me, has been in that loo, and there it was right in the middle of the floor.
I don’t believe in spirits, signs, fairies or such like so what do you think ?

one day a few years ago, I drove my OH to the hospital ,before he left he noticed that his ring was missing from his finger, we looked everywhere, even the other patients in the waiting room were searching for it, but never found it. we got back to where we parked the car looked all around, and under the car, the inside, pushed back the seats,it wasn't there.2 or 3 days later I was hoovering the bedroom and moved the bed and there was his ring,under the bed. he had never even had it at the hospital..

I remember an aunt telling us that she had left her door ajar when she came in and went upstairs. When she came down she found a woman sitting in her kitchen. She said she needed a sit down. .
Could this have happened? Someone has found the door ajar and come in?

Hello Bluebell. I have a similar mystery.
While on holiday in Dorset in the year 2000 my husband lost an expensive tie pin. We assumed it had fallen through the boarded floor of the bedroom we had slept in.
About five years later my husband died.
Eighteen months after his death I decided to buy a new car.
As I sat in the driver's seat of our car for the last time I glanced at the passenger seat.
There, right in the centre of the seat was the *tie pin!!*

Aldom, that is very strange, I think that was a message

BlueBell: those push through "shepherd's crook" earrings are just the type to get caught on a scarf, cardigan or coat. I lost a lovely pearl earring like that when I was wearing a wide scarf whilst out in the winter, they get nudged out of one's ear and drop to the ground. I suppose it is possible that you might get one caught on your clothing if you'd been on public transport?

I wear a silver necklace that has a small silver tree that slides on to the chain. One day I noticed the tree was gone, how it came off I’ll never know.The chain was intact and there was no way the charm could have come off unless I had taken the entire necklace off which I had not.Anyway, I forgot all about it and the chain was left in the jewellery box. Some weeks later, I happened to glance down on the wood deck by the back door of my house and there was my little silver tree.🤷‍♀️
