Something weird this way comes

Okay, first I would just like to say that I am a skeptic. I don't believe in ghosts, I don't think Satan is at fault when I choose to do something negative, and I don't believe in so-called "holistic medicine". Give me science over faith, any day of the week. I love the concept of ghosts, and hauntings, but I don't believe in them any more than I believe in Santa Claus.

Today I had a strange experience. Something I cannot explain of laugh away. I was sitting in a chair in my bedroom, with my feet up on my bed. I was playing a PS3 game, and my pet dragon (an adult bearded dragon) was sunning on a stack of pillows in the window. I had been sitting there for about twenty minutes or so when I felt something hit my foot. I jumped, thinking it was perhaps a loose cricket or something... but when I looked down there was a penny sitting there.

Penny, untouched after falling on me.

A penny had fallen on my foot, in the middle of a closed room. A penny, that had no source... there was no place for this penny to fall from, no other person to flick it at me, nothing to explain where it came from. I was surprised enough to take the above (and following) photographs of the penny, but I really didn't think that much about it. Hours later, it started to make me feel a bit "creeped out". I'm not saying this is evidence of ghosts or anything, but I cannot explain it and it is quite outside of my regular experiences. Pennies don't just drop out of nowhere... they drop off things, or are flung by people.

After taking the above photograph, I turned the penny over and took another photograph.

I turned the penny over for this photo.
So, I had a penny drop on me from nowhere, and I cannot explain it. The morning was bright and sunny, so it wasn't even like this happened in a spooky room during a dark and stormy night.

Very strange... Meanwhile, I'd suggest keeping it as a good luck charm, though. Somebody or something wanted you to have it....
