Strange Childhood Experiences

When I was growing up I experienced a couple of strange thing that I believe to be psychic, although they don't happen anymore, and I just thought I'd share them.

The first one was when I was about 8 years old. I used to go to a childminder's house after school. Being a shy child, I usually just sat in my childminder's living room, watching TV and keeping to myself. One time I could see a gardener in their garden from the sofa. He was up a stepladder, trimming their hedge, when all of a sudden I saw him on the floor, screaming in agony for help, but I just sat there. Not sure why! The next moment he was back up the ladder, as if nothing happened. I didn't see him climb the ladder, he was just back up there.

The next incident was much scarier for me. I think I was around the same age. My parents took me down to Hove to visit friends/family. I was sitting in the back of the car looking out of the window. The road we were driving on ran parallel to the beach, but behind some buildings, so every now and then there would be a gap in the buildings and I could see the sea. Through one gap I saw a massive tidal wave towering above the buildings and it was gone by the next gap. My parents didn't see it. I've just been revising for an Earth Systems exam tomorrow, which reminded me of this incident. What makes it scary is that the south east of the UK is actually sinking due to isostatic rebound!
