disappering house

suzerxxx

so you will prob say im a nutter but when i was younger there was this very old run down cottage up a lane by my house, it was around famine age r so, anywho when i was about 13/14 i was walking through a field towards the house with a few friends and when we were approaching the lane i could see the house, the wall and chimney through the trees, i pointed this out to a friend who had never seen the house before (i was a bit obsessed with it no idea why lol), i wanted to show them it, it was a cute little house lol! but when i climbed over the hedge i looked up and the area where the house was was completely cleared out! the farmer had obviously cleared it but i couldnt understand and i still dont understand how i seen it just seconds before hand?!?! i know it wasent just the way the trees are because it was so clear the wall and the chimney and there wasent that many trees it was just a hedge with a few along it. i told my family and they just laughed at me i went through that field on the same path many times more and i have never seen it again, has anyone ever experienced something like that? maby i am a nutter

i had an almost similar experience once when travelling along a road in Laois that I often travel. on one occasion I passed a really nice little thatched cottage, with chickens out the front of it - which at the time kinda startled me as I'd never seen it before. I almost even stopped to have a look, then decided that was a stupid idea since it was obviously always there and I'd just never noticed it before.

No such thatched cottage exists though, and Ive never seen it since, no matter how many times I drive down the same road.

it is very strange, i wonder if that cottage was there at one time? i dont understand it tho? what is it?

i have no idea. at a wild guess, i'd say a timeslip of somekind, though I have my doubts if such things are possible. the other possibility is some form of daydreaming.

If you'd been used to seeing it then your brain probably just assumed that it was there. Like when you could have sworn that you saw your keys, or you say hello to your friend in the street and then realise that you've just said hi to a total stranger: your brain knows what 'should' be there and fills in any missing bits based on assumption.

Sometimes such things looks to us just out of deja vu effects or personal perception which our mind try to develop about the things a person go through for responding faster to any possible scenario.

But in rare stances such exceptions do actually take place near centuries old haunted places.
