Flashback in Time?
-
Cecil Edward Denny, a young officer with the North West Mounted Police in 1875, had enjoyed a morning of hunting in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, but by midday the weather had turned threatening. As he set off to paddle downriver, Denny was overtaken by hail and torrential rain, accompanied by violent thunder and lightning, so he turned towards the river bank in search of a place in which to shelter. Then, during a lull in the storm, he plainly heard voices and drums beating. Relieved that he might find a friendly Blackfoot camp nearby, he started through the forest towards the sounds.
The storm worsened and Denny was glad to reach and open glade, where he saw about 20 tepees, only 200 metres away. He was surprised to see that people were moving about because Candian Indians usually stayed bedhind closed tent flaps in wet weather.
Suddenly a severe lightning flash threw the young man on his back and split a nearby tree. It was a moment before he recovered sufficiently to stand up. He turned towards the camp. but to his astonishment and terror it had vanished! In the glade where he had seen tepees in vivid detail, he now saw nothing but storm-tossed trees.
Denny walked the 25km back to base, where his fellow officers laughed at his story. Determined to solve the mystery, he took two Indians back to the site. They told him that a Blackfoot tribe had slaughtered a camp of Cree Indians there years before. A few stones suggested an abandoned encampment and two bleached skulls lay in the grass, but there was no evidence that the site had been occupied recently. Had Danny's experience been a hallucination, or the violent storm somehow triggered a flashback in time?

do you guys sometimes experience "deja vu" events??
like when you're doing something or going somewhere and you have a very strong feeling of familarity... like you have gone through this before??
i think the scientific explanation is that our minds cannot organise our thoughts sequence of something like that...
what do you guys think?
any experience / encounters to share?? -
