B
Yes. I’ve just had a
really bizarre experience.
When I was at primary
school I had a really
good friend. His name
was Simon. When I went
to secondary school, he
moved to Scotland and
I never heard from him again.
Two days ago I decided to look at
our family photo album and I opened
the album at a page where there was
a photo of me with Simon at my
seventh birthday party. At that
moment, the phone rang and believe
it or not, it was Simon himself!
What a strange coincidence!
(Lara Robson, 18)
Yes, I have – about a year ago. It was very late and I woke
up because I heard a noise.
I went downstairs and looked around, but I couldn’t see
anything unusual. Then I heard the noise again.
A few seconds later, I saw a bright, white light and a
figure walked through the door and out into the front
garden. When I looked in the garden, there was nothing
there. It was very strange!
(Karen Samson, 16)
Yes, I have. Well,
I think I have. It was
last winter, in November,
and I was on my way
home from school.
It was very dark and
it started to rain, so
I thought, ‘I’ll go
across the park to
save time.’ Suddenly, I heard a
loud humming noise and I saw
some bright lights moving back
and forwards incredibly fast
over the trees in the middle of
the park. I was so frightened
that I ran all the way home!

Yes, I am. I’ve got a
lucky cat. Actually it’s
not a real cat.
It’s very small, about
two centimetres long
and it’s made of
solid silver.
My grandfather gave
it to me. I always take
it with me when I
e to
do an exam or play in an imporhav
tan
football match. Anyway, last montht
I played in the local schools foo ll
tournament. We played very wetba

got into the final. But on the day
of
the final I couldn’t find my lucky cat
.
We lost 3-0!
