Great story and example! There is balance to believing in spirit. Every once in a while the physical pops in to say hello.

But I do think this illustrates a truth that I have experienced as well in which I interpret something as spirit that ends up having another explanation.

I had several experiences in a row earlier this year that I interpreted as metaphysical that ended up having solid physical explanations. One was thinking I took a photo of a rather stark UFO that ended up being a power pole. The other was seeing a multi-coloured lighted blimp floating through the trees off in the distance one night. It was only visible for a few seconds and I realized, oh, that's a blimp. But days later I wondered...wait a minute, was it a blimp? I've never seen a blimp around here, nor one so spectacular.

These two events really got my blood pumping and left me shaky at the time, and I felt they were great experiences to reveal to me how I would react in such scenarios (scared the bejezzus out of me ). And so I truly wonder... is anything really mundane or spiritual experiences as forms of dress rehearsals for main events?
