Wind in Tress,
I'm not sure I'm a believer in the paranormal yet. I'm interested and think it's a possibility. I'm starting to believe people's alien and UFO stories---more the UFO stories, but the alien stories worry me. I had a similar experience of an object striking my head at a weird time. I was reaching for The Satanic Bible on my bookshelf, and as I pulled it out, my black porcelain see-no-evil monkey fell on my head and broke into pieces. I was a bit of a skeptic at the time, so I kind of brushed it off as a weird coincidence, but it gave me pause for a second.
I was never a Satanist by the way. I just bought the book so I could study it. I had three black porcelain monkeys on my bookshelf: a hear-no-evil, a say-no-evil, and a see-no-evil monkey. I'm not sure what the experience meant, but I'm leaning towards creepy coincidence. There's a lot of weird stuff that happens to me that I've tended to write off as coincidental but have made me paranoid.
