It’s about to get real Final Destination up in here!
I was like 23 or so.
I was walking down my street at a little after dusk.
I saw a van approaching a little ahead, no lights on.
Didnt think much of it due to the time of day.
This gave me some pause in that quick moment.
For me to keep walking, Id have to go between the wall and the van.
The one thought in my mind was, why isnt the light turning on inside the van?
When you pop launch the door of a vehicle, the light should come on inside it.
Unless you deliberately switch that off.
Immediately, the van took off like someone lit it on fire.
From a slow crawl to full speed.
As i looked after it to see the plates…
I noticed it had no plates.
And still no lights.
I called the police, of course.
They sent cars out and didnt find the van.
I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Trust your intuition
Always hated the dad scout leader in my area growing up.
Just seemed like a real creep.
Hated seeing him at community events, soccer games, back to school nights, etc.
Justice found him and hes in prison.
Like something out of a movie.
We are also singing at the top of our lungs.
We pass the abandoned farm and I drop her off at her house.
I wait long enough to see she makes it inside and I head back out the way I came.
My danger meter goes off as I had just driven this road and there was nothing there.
I put the windows up and ensure the doors are locked.
All the way home I felt creeped out and kept checking my rear view mirror.
Shortly after that I moved to another state and didnt think much of it after that.
Fast forward to 2-3 years later when I was back visiting my hometown.
She asked me if I remembered what I told her that night.
Her dad went to check and saw two naked, injured women and let them in and called 911.
They survived, but the men were never caught.
There was evidence the men had been going there for a while.
My friend was convinced they had put the batteries in the road to lure me out of the car.
Im just really glad my gut told me not to.
it had been clearly ripped and tied back together in some places.
My mom examined it and gunned it in reverse and got out of there fast.
They chased them down and she lived but it was scary.
Trust your gut with roadblocks!!!
He didnt get out at 6, and was still in the lift as I got to my floor.
I just stopped and stared him down.
He had a deer-in-the-headlights look and turned straight back to the lift.
I have no idea if it saved my life but it freaked me the fuck out!
It just felt wrong
Was driving to work one morning about 2am.
Was behind a slow 18 wheeler and was getting a feeling I needed to move.
I literally had to start screaming at her before she listened and slowed down.
One of the kids was screaming and begging the driver to let him out.
Luckily there was no one below that they fell onto.
Fast cars
My boyfriends exs rebound did this to her.
He had a fast little car.
They were cruising one day, he started laughing.
They banned her from seeing him and reinforced it.
He ended up killing himself doing the same thing in the rain.
Well Im closing my store on Thursday night, and get a feeling I should leave that night.
So I said F it and left that night.
A little after lunch on Friday, tornado sirens go off.
It got lit up by the tornado.
My ex used to give me shit for expressing my feelings about this guy.
Fast forward to 3 years later.
Awful vibe
I remember meeting the Dad of a student.
I got an awful vibe off of him.
People always talked about how nice he was and how in love he and his wife were.
I always thought she really loves him but hes just not right.
Found out years later hed been raping his older daughter every time his wife was away for a conference.
(Not the child I was teaching, her older sister).
Her 22 year old brother seemed nice enough but made me nervous every time he came in the room.
I woke up the next morning with him standing over me and putting his hand down my pants.
Havent been to a sleepover since.
Go to the doctor
A pain in the lungs when I inhaled.
It had happened before, years ago.
Some hot water in the shower and the pain was gone.
My wife (then girlfriend) insisted on going to ER.
I insisted on hot water.
I feel like we should go and see a doctor, she had said.
I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism on both lungs.
Doctor said 1 or 2 more hours and you were gone.
So yeah, I owe my wife one.
Bar fight
Few years ago I was at a bar with a couple of friends.
All was good, we were drinking and having fun.
All of sudden, we heard this discussion taking place just a couple of tables from us.
Two guys decided to have a shouting/threat match.
I stopped everything to pay attention to them.
My friends were making fun of me, saying I was gossipy.
One of the guys in the discussion got up and left.
Immediately after he left I told my friends we had to go.
They didnt get why I was like that, but Im their friends since forever, they reluctantly agreed.
The next day, the news were talking about a bar fight.
Apparently the guy who got up went home, grabbed a gun and came back for a drive by.
Killed 4 people in the process.
My grandpa taught me to never ignore my gut and I couldnt be happier to have listened.
Cancer
Lump in my right breast.
43 years old; clean mammogram 5 months earlier.
Four different doctors told me it was nothing and to come back in a year.
I did not and found a 5th.
My cat smelled cancer
Felt hinky about one of many growing skin spots.
Took this evidence to new doc on day dermatologist happened to be visiting.
My doc laughed it off like all the others but said a dermatologist might be interested in weird shape.
Dermatologist took one look, sniffed it, said get biopsy right now.
Then says We need to get him to hospital NOW.
Turns out I have jot down 1 Diabetes and if Id waited another day I would have died.
This man had followed me up and down the walkways of the expo hall we were standing in.
As he started to get closer, I got this overwhelming feeling of fright.
A really quick thing but its stuck with me all these years.
Left behind
It didnt happen to me but was told by my mom.
When she was pregnant with my older sister.
Her and her family decided to go hiking in the mountains.
On the day of the hike she suddenly felt discomfort and unconformable.
So she stayed behind while the rest of her family went for the hike.
Her family got lost and if it wasnt for my mom staying behind, they wouldnt have gotten help.
DONT GO
I had just left my apartment complex and was heading to a friends.
It was late out and there wasnt many people on the road.
They were going so fast their vehicle had a bounce to it.
If I had turned my car would have been destroyed, and me along with it.
I sat there through the whole next light cycle and then turned, pulled over and called my sister.
It was a ghostly feeling.
The highway patrol was funneling everyone off of the freeway to the right side exit.
I had the strongest feeling we needed to move to the left farthest lane, so I did.
Rearview Mirror
A few years ago I was stopped at a redlight around 3am.
I had just picked up my bf from downtown.
I had a sudden urge to look in my rear view mirror.
And thank fuck I did because in it I saw a suv that was speeding and wasnt slowing down.
I ended up halfway in the intersection to get out of their way.
We both wouldve died.m from rear impact.
Something told me not to catch it and just wait for the next one, so i did.
Caught the next bus half an hour later.
A little way into the journey, traffic was slowing, and we got to the cause of it.
A lorry had crashed into the bus i had missed, right into the back on the drivers side.
Had i caught that bus, i wouldnt be here.
As soon as we went into the guest room, I was overwhelmed by panic and felt really dizzy.
One dark morning, I saw a person up ahead of me a few blocks away.
Suddenly, I hear a bubububump!
I look over my shoulder and it was him with his DICK in his hand.
That sound was the sound of his shoes hitting the pavement as he ran towards me.
I took off running, screamed, Im calling 911, and held my phone to my ear.
He must have saw and took it seriously because he ran the opposite direction that I ran.
I will never forget the sound of his shoes hitting the pavement.
Cross the road
It was about two years ago.
I was walking down a main road.
I dont know why, but something told me I needed to cross.
I wasnt even going that way, but I just felt like I had to cross.
It was quiet, so I quickly ran across the road.
Had I not crossed, I wouldve been killed on impact.
He wasnt doing anything crazy…but the way he was driving just felt off.
Dude is still driving through this field as Im passing.
No idea what that was about, but he probably would have run into me as I passed him.
Stay away from vans
Escaped the abduction of me and my friends thanks to my gut feeling.
I was at the mall with my friends, all of us around 12 years old.
It was 8pm, and my mom was on her way to pick me up.
We were all chilling together until each of our parents got here to get us.
Hes about 30-ish, wearing huge glasses, and carrying a clipboard.
Ill pay you each five dollars per trailer.
Naturally, my friends are all for it.
The thing is, my heart dropped as soon as I heard it.
As theyre all saying yes, the man nods and then points to the side entrance.
Then, he says: We can do it over there.
The headlights are on, the car is running.
The back doors seems to be open.
Every part of my being screams NO!
Thankfully they get the message, and say bye to the guy.
The man refused to turn to look at us, and simply began to walk outside of the mall.
As were walking away, I turn and look behind me one last time.
The van, and the man, were gone.
The bookshelf instantly fell on my bed.
I dont know if it would have killed me but it would have rrealllly smashed me up.
I worked until midnight.
I would stay at her house until about 1 or 2am.
I always begged her not to but she always said shesd be fine.
She thought I went strait home.
I was in the parking lot as she pulled in but she didnt see me.
As she walked in a shady looking dude was walking out.
She ignored him but he looked back at her about three or four times.
I go into the store too.
I see them going past every isle and then motion to each other like there she is.
So I walk a bit faster to catch up.
I turn into the isle just as they are approaching her.
They are looking at each other.
From behind I yell hey!
They both turn and so does my girlfriend.
They nod awkwardly as my girlfriend says to me what are you doing here.
I kiss her and make up some story about wanting to buy aspirin.
The two guys leave.
I never told my girlfriend that story, I dont know why.
I kinda felt like a Super Hero to myself.
We dated about 2 more years after that.
I dont know what they were going to do to/with her but it was nothing good.
