I want to share with you all my personal strange expirience with Queen. It was April 93, I was 13 years old back then (now ya lot can guess my age! Bah!). I went with my parents, my lil sister and my best friend at the time, Jai, to the beach. It was Easter Sunday, the sun was shinning during the morning hours, and we had our fun till noon when the clouds were getting grey. So, my parents decided to pick up, and leave. Jai and I went to the nearest shower hall to wash off the sand off our swimsuits. We were alone in the hall, and we were talking about Queen (because we were Queen-Roger-crazy back then). All of a sudden, a guy came into the hall, and began to rinse himself off. Jai turned around, and saw the man and turned to me and whispered "OMG! It's Freddie!" I told her "Nonsense! Freddie has been dead for almost 2 years!". She told me to look at him, and I did. All I saw was his back, but when he turned around. I saw Freddie! I'm not kidding! He was about 5'10". Thin. The teeth were there. He was about mid 40's. The five o clock shadow. The eyes. The nose. To sum up, the perfect carbon copy of The Miracle Freddie. I was stunned, I couldn't speak. Jai was poking my ribs, but I didn't pay attention. My eyes were locked with the man that looked exactly, or perhaps was Freddie. He was smiling at me, the Freddie smile! Jesus Christ! Then all of a sudden a small woman, she looked Indian, came into the shower hall and yelled in English "Freddie! Come over! We have to go" The man said nothing, smiled at us for the last time and left. I was shocked out of my wits. End of story. Honest to God, this is completetly 100% true. No chemicals were smoked, sniffed or even swallowed during that experience. Share yours with us :D |

....and then you woke up! I firmly believe that Freddie is still alive, He works in our local chippy with Elvis, |
Saffron Caribou 08.12.2003 02:29 |
I didn't wake up! LOL! It really did happen! HONESTLY! |

Oh, I've had plenty....when I say that I mean 2 events like that. One was a similar experience where there was a bloke who looked like Freddie. He was slightly taller but the moustache and the hair were exactly the same as the 'Las Palabras de Amor' film clip...well he wasn't wearing a dinner suit. Needless to say I couldn't stop staring at him. In the end he got up, smashed me to death with his half a microphone and said 'Darling, staring is not nice'. Everything up to that part is true. The other time was when I was being introduced to a friends' friend (I don't know why people do this..*sigh*). I stuck out my hand and he said 'G'day, Brian May' to which I said 'Hi, I'm John Deacon'. Obviously he knew what I meant 'cause he struck a smile. Unforunately he looked nothing like THE Brian. |

one of my wifes friends is a twin of Brian May, he lives in Argentina, sometimes when I see him it's so freaky...lol |

One time, I saw a John Deacon look alike. (He looked like John when he had his little fro going on.) |
MexQueenFM 08.12.2003 12:08 |
hmm interesting experiences, but i'd rather see an Angelina Jolie twin :D |

In Disneyworld, my sister apparently saw a man who looked just like Roger walking past us; she only told me to look when it was too late, and I only saw his blonde hair as he walked off. |

Freddie Mercury works at our local supermarket with Elvis and John Lennon |

Today, matter of fact. I'm in a musical, and our directors were late. Randomly, someone started singing "We Are The Champions". Of course, i was shocked out of my mind. I kind of took over, I sing rather loud. Let's just say that by the time the directors came in, we were belting it out loud enough for half the block to hear. But as for strange lookalike experiences and whatnot - only one. A friend of a friend's brother looks exactly like Roger. Only he's about ten feet tall and as thin as a wire. |
Saffron Caribou 08.12.2003 18:31 |
Can I just drop in and say that I'm still traumatised by this? Carry on. Thank you! |

My father is a Deacy Look a like, especially in No One But You pix. |
MexQueenFM 08.12.2003 18:43 |
hmm, i look like Rog!! well just a little bit tanner, Mexican and taller and diff kind of face, i'm better looking :D |

In the grade below me, there's this girl that looks like an exact female version of Deaky. I mentioned about it to a friend of mine in a chatroom on IM, he created, not knowing that she was in it! Once I realized she was there I explained I didn't mean any harm by it and being a Queen fan I thought it was pretty cool...luckily she took it very well. There's also a girl in the grade above me who is a striking resemblence of Brian and a 6th grade boy who is identical to Freddie. Haven't seen any Roger look alikes yet... |

" stuck out my hand and he said 'G'day, Brian May'" That'll be the Australian composer Brian May then, th eone that did the Mad Max films :) |
Daburcor? 08.12.2003 20:31 |
my brother's friend Jimmy looks an awful lot like Deaky. And Marie, I LOVE that story! *thumbs up!* |

This is a weird Queen anecdote. Keep in mind that Queen is not as popular here in the U.S. as in other places around the world... One day I went to the bowling alley with some of my friends, and I happened to notice that one guy who was bowling 3 lanes away from us was wearing a t-shirt with the album cover for 'The Miracle'. Not only I found that unusual, but I also thought his t-shirt was absolutely awesome. Many times I felt like walking to their lane and asking the guy where did he get that shirt, but I didn't want to sound like a weirdo. Besides, I'm a very shy person. |

the most I seen here with a Queen shirt was at a record convention, some guy with about 10,000 LP's had a ANATO Shirt, as I was looking through his collection he was talking to a couple of other people about Queen, turns out they seen them live quite a few times in the 70's and said they lost intrest after HS. |

Gorosito looks like Brian May also, that was from south americans and Argentinians soccer fans specially. |

"hmm, i look like Rog!! well just a little bit tanner, Mexican and taller and diff kind of face, i'm better looking :D" Lol!! |

< The dead one, right? |

I love these kind of stories (I'm a huge fan of X-files and all that stuff)! If that man really was Freddie Mercury (ghost, or he faked his death), then the story is very touching and sweet. If the man was someone else and he was giving you smiles in the shower, the story is very very weird :-) Btw, wouldn't his mum call him Farookh? |
Saffron Caribou 09.12.2003 18:25 |
No she called the guy Freddie, but I really wasnt dreaming! AHHH! |
Wilki Amieva 09.12.2003 18:34 |
I've met Gorosito at the beach, if that counts... |
Billie 09.12.2003 18:35 |
lol @ El Shileno! Gorosito has Brian's hair, that's for sure. And he's now the trainner of my football team (San Lorenzo)! |

Freddie's mum never called him Farouk (sp?) in my presence. I recall the day Flashman and Archie took a sojourn to London many moons ago and visited Freddie's house on the 24th November. Took some pictures and read the messages on all the flowers left and then noticed some berk dressed up as Freddie. Apparently Barry George or Bulsara liked to dress up as Freddie and visit his house on the anniversary of his death. Could it be we had met a murderer from the future? No chemicals or smoking involved. Mind you we were also on stage at Wembley back in '86 following Freddie around like troopers. We chatted with Roger and hid under some stairs as Freddie ran up them as he sang. Oh hang on, chemicals were involved in that one. |
