Strange tragedy

[Linda/NE]

Friday morning a 19 yr. old kid from our town died in a fire in his fraternity house at college (can't remember exactly where his university is --Wesleyan--somewhere around Lincoln or Omaha I think)

Anyway what's strange about it is I never knew him personally. I remember when he was a little kid. This past Tuesday we were at the high school for a band concert and a little boy kept walking back and forth past us and I kept thinking he looks so familiar. As the concert went on the thought came to my mind that this little boy looks a lot like this 19 yr. old when he was little. (still don't know who the little boy is BTW). So ever since I heard about the fire I can't get out of my head why this little boy sparked my memory of this other boy who would die in a fire just 3 days later.

I suppose it's just coincidence but it's just really freaky wondering if there was a reason. I had not thought of this boy for years prior to Tues. nite.

That is weird....I get a weird sixth sense like that about people I know....but not usually "almost strangers".

This is definitely freaky. Some days I think I see people walking by a window or walking in a room and no one is there. I'm either loosing it or watching too much "Ghost Whisperer"

I haven't heard much for details on the cause of the fire. Rumor has it that he and his friends were lighting off bottle rockets. The fire was reported though at 4 in the morning. I guess there were 3 other guys in the room who are in critical condition.
