Coronation Street actor, Ryan Thomas, recently shared an intriguing update about a pigeon he believes embodies the spirit of his deceased father. Convinced that the bird, named Dougie James in honor of his father, is a reincarnation, Ryan engaged with his followers on Instagram to discuss this unusual connection.
Sporting a beanie hat and sunglasses while sipping tea in his garden, Ryan informed his audience of Dougie’s sudden disappearance, expressing his uncertainties about the bird’s absence. Reflecting on the daily routine of Dougie’s presence in his garden, Ryan shared his apprehensions about the bird leaving for good, only to be surprised by Dougie’s return perched on the house’s TV aerial.
In another video, the Dancing On Ice star playfully questioned his mental state, seeking opinions from his followers on whether he was “losing the plot.” Despite the humorous tone, Ryan continued to document his interactions with Dougie, including instances where the bird attempted to enter his house in his absence, as shared by his partner, Lucy Mecklenburgh.
Expressing his deep connection to Dougie, Ryan posted a photo of the pigeon alongside a caption referencing one of his father’s songs, Still. Seeking further validation, Ryan consulted Psychic Sally Morgan, who affirmed the possibility of Dougie being his father’s spirit.
As the unusual story unfolds, Ryan’s social media updates continue to captivate audiences, showcasing the unique bond he believes he shares with the pigeon he affectionately associates with his late father.
