I am 35 year old male living in Westbury Wiltshire and have experienced things over the years and still do. The two main ones that stand out is when I was 18 years old living with my mum and dad I saw a Victorian lady stood in our kitchen, she was wearing the full black dress with all the white frills and this was 12 o'clock day time.
The next was a premonition of a car crash - my friends were going off shopping to a different town and asked if I wanted to go with them, but I had this intense feeling of danger and fear and knew that I should not go - but mates being mates persuaded me to go and I remember stepping one foot into the car thinking that this was going to be a big mistake! I just sat in the back grasping the handle on the ceiling waiting for something to happen and it did the driver my friend Steve collapsed at the wheel and we ended up hitting a telegraph pole at some speed everyone in the car except me was injured with Steve coming off the worse by only just surviving the crash having to be brought back to life many times at the scene and on the way to hospital.
Just the other day my son was out with his twin brother (8 year olds) on their bikes and I had this same fear danger feeling again that something was not right so I went outside to see if I could see them and one of my boys returned and said that he has lost his brother and did not know where he was! 5 minutes later my other son returned crying saying that he got lost and did not know where he was. Is this just coincidence?
In your case, this seems to have come in handy. Had you been relaxing during that crash, perhaps you would have been as bad as Steve.
