Hi Niobe,
I too was wondering same questions as Wywriter,?
Speaking for myself, If my suspicions were aroused,(which yours sound as though they are from your post) I knew there was something not quite right ,I listen to those voices now! ,I used to ignor them,but actually they were there to help me or save me.For me they were/are voices of some danger.Starts with something really inconsiquential.
I'd have never been able to explain that to anyone a few years ago, they, people would just think I was quite mad,and I dont let anyone talk me out of what I feel now,it starts in my head ,then down in my stomach. I call that my HP is telling me something.
All best wishes, take what you like and leave the rest
