Have you ever lost something...and been reunited with it years later?

Did I mention ghosts?

I simply said I have no idea how it got there.

That's my point, others would have blamed non existant figments of the imagination rather than expecting a plausible reason.

My friend used to hide her jewellery before she went on her hols.

One year she came back and couldnt remember where she had hid them, she looked for them for about 4 years and then moved house, so gave up on them.

Several years later, her husband put on a jacket to go to a do, and all the jewellery was in the pocket.

She was delighted.

I wish I could be reunited with my Dunhill silver pen I won in a competition about 30 years ago and lost about 20 years ago,unfortunately I have moved twice since then so have no hope.

Had to laugh at this. It's exactly the sort of thing I do!

I once bought a kid's book in a charity shop & inside it was my friend's (very unusual) name scrawled in childish writing. She said she had donated it to a jumble sale when she was around 10 or 11!

I have something a bit similar.

When I was about 9, I found an old book of ghost stories in my parents bookcase. I read it, and one story in particular frightened me to death.

Time passed, and the book eventually must have been thrown away, but I still remembered the story, even into adulthood.

40 years later, my office was closing, and we were all being made redundant. Everything in the office had to go.

I got permission, and raided the bookcase of old books in the staff room, with a view to selling some on eBay

I found another copy of that book from 40 years ago. Ok, not the exact same book that my parents had, but another copy just like it.

I was thrilled to be able to read the story again and it was just as unsettling as ever.

The book now lives in my bookcase.

My daughter threw a bottle with a note into the sea when she was small and at Brownie Camp. About 15 years later she got a fab reply from a lovely gentlemen telling her where it was found etc.

Sooo, how far did it go?

I lost one of a pair of gold and diamond earrings that were the first gift my husband bought me. Four years later it turned up on my bedroom floor...in a different house.

It was as flat as a pancake and very scuffed and damaged. The only thing we can think of was i trod on it and it got wedged into the tread of a pair of trainers I had fished out of the bottom of the wardrobe the day before. I hadn't worn them for a long time, in fact i couldn't remember when the last time i had them on.

BAGGY

I lost a pair of presciption specs when I went camping (in my friends green tent and lightwieght sleeping bag that I dont normally use). The next year I went away again. This time I took my heavyweight sleeping bag and my own blue tent. A different friend was puttign the inner tents in when she came out and said 'do you know who these glasses belong to?'. They were mine! I still to this day have no idea how. It was definately a different sleeping bag so they hadnt been rolled up in that..........?
