The Old Man Who Knew Everything About People He Had Never Met

A group of friends traveling through Malaysia stopped at a roadside tea shop run by an elderly man. As they sat down, he greeted each of them by name and told them details about their lives that he could not have known. He spoke as if he had known them forever. When they asked how he knew so much, he only laughed. A week later, they returned to the shop, but it was closed, abandoned, as if no one had been there for years.

My Take: There are people who seem to exist outside normal time, slipping in and out of moments as if they already know how everything will unfold. Maybe he had seen them before, not in this lifetime, but in another.
