bangkai_jk,
Chinese have this believe that if you suddenly smell something at night, just keep quiet. However, if you're in a car and smell something that stinks, just open your window. When the driver or whoever ask why open the window, just say you felt that the car was kinda stuffy since about 20 minutes ago, or say that you weren't feeling all that well since you came out and just wanted some air from outside.
It's the same concept as when you see something abnormal, just ignore it and continue moving onwards. Also, always say your prayers when you feel or encounter things like these. The monk I chatted with last time told me that upon encountering apparitions (ghosts, spirit like stuff) like those, just say your prayers. However, I can't remember whether the monk told me to pray for those apparitions or pray for myself. Somebody's gotta find out more on this.
To me, in Christianity, I believe that God is the utmost Highest, with the greatest power to over come all. As such, I hold strong to God's promises that He has given to me. It is said in the Bible, "God came to love us, not forsake us" so to me, I'll always have His protection. That's what I believe.
Boon,
heh heh This kinda same thing happened to me once. You very clearly remembered that you placed it at THAT PARTICULAR SPOT. Not anywhere else, but just that very specific spot. It is now missing. Then, it will just come out again at that same spot when you don't bother about it. Happened to me quite a few times in my home. hehe
