When i was 4 or 5 something odd happened to me. I was sat on the floor in the hallway staring at the light bulb, which was on. I then closed my eyes and could see the image of the filament "burned " on my retina. This was the older type bulb, now phased out, where the filament is arranged in a "C" shape or horseshoe. Anyway i did this a few times, stared at the filament, closed my eyes to observe the C-shape burned at the back of my eye. On about the third go i stared, closed my eyes, looked at the image and then heard "ping" "ping" on the carpet next to me. I looked and there were two gold or brass coloured C-shaped horseshoes which seem to have fell either from the area of the bulb, or dropped out of my mind!! They had "good luck" written on them, they were about 2cm across although one was slightly smaller. I am convinced i did not dream this! ( i don't know what became of the horseshoes)

I seem to recall the horseshoes being at the bottom of my toybox for a while afterwards. I'll ask my brother, because he remembers it happening, although he did not witness the event. I may have shown him the horseshoes though, but it was long ago, about 1973!
