Wisconsin Public Radio's To the Best of Our Knowledge had an hour devoted to ghost stories recently.
One of the sections was on people who think of someone dying at another place and they are proven right. What too many people don't consider is all the people who thought of someone dying and no such thing had happened.
I woke up one night certain that a friend had died. This was almost two decades ago and he is still alive.
Too often people are incredulous about some "miracle" but completely ignore all the times the "miracles" didn't happen under similar circumstances.
One of the anecdotes I read long ago was a picture of a shipwreck where survivors were huddled on shore. Supposedly these survivors had prayed they would reach safety. The cynic asked about all those who prayed to reach safety but drowned.
