In the combine I’m a bit paranoid about fires. Occasionally get a whiff of something, even to the point I’ve got out and walked around the machine…nothing. Also been a time or two when I’ve got out and ran back to the cab and grabbed the extinguisher cause the @&$”# was on fire!

I don’t think starting a thread about phantom smells on a forum heavily populated with old men was very wise. lol

EJ here lately she has been smelling a wampus cat time to board up the windows.

I used to experience phantom smells just going into a seizure but it's controlled with medication now. It was a warning to find a place to sit real fast.

At the very least check with Dr.
A good friend was experiencing the same thing a few yrs ago and it turned out to be Parkinsons. I remember vividly sitting in the cabin when he told me about the smells. He was on antibiotics for a so called sinus infection, but before the end of the season he received the parkinsons diagnosis. The trembling started a few months later. It may not be anything as serious as this, but after seeing firsthand my friend's diagnosis I certainly would see a doctor.

Ever since my Dad died 13 years ago I've caught a phantom whiff of cig smoke. Kinda weird when it happens! My sister has the same experiences.

no joke.

some folks think there's a spiritual connection to such phenomena.

Blanket pretty. Haha

Dutch oven

I had Covid in July but even before July I would smell cigarette smoke in my bedroom at night. Nobody has ever smoked in that room.

I used to take time out of my day running trapps to go to Sunday mass. Many times one or two peaple would say they thought they smelled skunk . I thought I don't smell nothing. Maybe that church just needed Exercised.

Not me

I’ve been told that a crowded elevator smells different to a midget

Since covid, my wife smells cigarette smoke. Her Dad smoked, but no one in our house has ever smoked.

When I was a kid, every time I went to the library, the smell of books made me need to take a dump. I'm sure that there where several folks there who had some phantom smells on those particular days...

The senses are like special gifts and the more we exercise them the more useful they can become. Just imagine a dog smelling a rabbit trail and being able to know which way he went. I've had a few hounds that backtracked a lot, so maybe there is as much art in it as well as science.

A couple of times I've smelled flowers as in a funeral that came to pass, makes one think about chance happenings and if its something we can hone in on and refine it or maybe it was just a fluke. We like to explore this earth and space, but we really don't have to go far to at least experience some of 6th and 7th senses. With those things its easy for the outsider to assume evil verses spiritual and even the spiritual could be construed as good or evil.

When one sense starts to fail the others often become more refined. A blind person may hear or feel by touch with amazing accuracy. Regardless of whether its smell or some other gift, if you can refine it a little just remember to run the gift and not let it run you.
