SOMETIMES I THINK I HAVE STRANGE FRIENDS

By Bob Walsh

 

                

A fetch, based in Irish folklore, is a supernatural double or an apparition of a living person. The sighting of a fetch is regarded as an omen, usually for IMPENDING DEATH 

 

Yesterday a couple of friends of mine told me that saw somebody that looked EXACTLY like me driving a car that looked exactly like me in town.  They knew it wasn't me because they knew I was at my GF's place, but said the resemblance was uncanny.

I voiced the opinion that perhaps what they saw was my Fetch.  They both knew exactly what I was talking about.  I would have bet than not one person in a thousand (here at least) knew what a Fetch was.  Perhaps I just have exceptional friends.  Or maybe exceptionally strange friends.  

In any case, I am going to be very careful for the next few days.
