Imaginative

Here, for your perusal are three, what I call, strange things that I have experienced and have no logical answer for. What those answers might be, I'll leave to you wonderful bunch of skeptics. Enlighten me please.
1. I woke up one morning to the feeling that someone or something had sat down on the other side of my bed, I then felt it lie down, at which point I felt something solid butt up against my back, like I was lying back to back with someone as I lay on my side. From the moment I felt a weight on my bed I came awake immediately and remember looking at the alarm clock, it was early morning and was light outside. All the while I was petrified to turn over and check what I could feel. I eventually did turn over and of course there was nothing there and the door to my room was closed.
2. I was living with my wife in a bed-sit, in a converted terraced house when we first got married. The Landlord owned the bottom of the house and our two room bed-sit was directly above his back bathroom. Some time during Friday night/Saturday morning, I came awake very abruptly with a feeling that I can only describe as something ice-cold washing through the entire length of my whole body, but coming from underneath as I was lying on my back and passing through me in a matter of seconds. It was enough to bring me instantly awake; I even woke my wife as my body must have jolted when I felt this feeling. I told her what had just happened and we both finally went back to sleep. Over the next couple of days we noted that we hadn’t seen or heard the landlord's presence in the house. On Monday morning my wife said that she was going to check in on him after we came home from work that evening. On our return though, we found a coroner’s vehicle parked outside and some people in bio suits coming out of the house. We then found out that the Landlord had died in his bath and they were removing his body. I asked if they knew when he had died or how long he had been dead and they said that estimated that he had died some time between Friday and Saturday morning. It was then that I started to think about what I had felt and the fact that his bathroom was directly below our bedroom and that maybe what I felt was some sort of life force leaving the body and passing through me on its way to wherever. Of course, time has allowed me to look back at what happened and reject the supernatural explanation but it does make me wonder just a bit because of the circumstances and the fact that I never before or after, have had a similar experience.
3. This one, although trivial, is something not easily forgotten or ignored. I had a pet budgie for a number of years and it was a true family pet because of its tameness. One night I had a dream about the budgie where I was trying to get him to step onto my hand to take him out of his cage but he wouldn’t come to me and kept moving away. When I woke up that morning I went to his cage and found him dead at the bottom of the cage. Again, my dream of the budgie may well have been a coincidence but like before, I had never remembered having a dream about him or since either.
