Hi forynav -
I wasn't too sure about AP either - then began having some strange things happen to me. Of course, I have no way to prove it - but it was proof enough for me.
The first was my youngest and I were at BK for her kiddie meal fix, and a woman with an infant on her hip, walked up to me. She called me by name, and excitedly thanked me for going over to her house lastnight to help her with her son. I hadn't a clue who she was. I reached over to touch her young one's face, and 'saw' me holding him lastnight - which was impossible. I had been sitting on the couch with my husband, listening to some wonderful music.
The woman continued, telling me that the frozen washcloth helped her sons teething problems, and she was much relieved.
I was floored.
Next time, a friend had was in an auto accident one state away from home. I was at work (was a typsetter then), and on my computer screen, 'saw' my friend in a mangled auto. I imagined I stayed with my friend until help arrived.
A few days later, that friend's spouse called me to tell me about the accident. My friend was banged up pretty bad, was in the hospital and would be about another week before they could come home. Then the spouse told me that my friend must have really been in bad shape; my friend kept insisting to the spouse that I had stayed with her by the mangled car until the paramedics came. The friend swore up and down that I was there - and I was seen.
Both of those were many years ago - I no longer get weirded out when someone I don't recognize stops me to thank me for helping. I figured my doppleganger (AP self) was out and about again.
