35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives I was pregnant in the very early weeks (5/6 weeks), and started getting these intense pains on the right side of my abdomen. Like so extremely painful that I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t make noise or move. Went to my doctor the next day, and he said I was being hysterical and it’s completely normal to be in pain when you’re pregnant. He refused to get me to an OBGYN, and said I could go private if it was such a big deal. Went to a private scan, and my pregnancy was ectopic (stuck in my fallopian tube), and my tube had ruptured and I was bleeding internaly. Was rushed to hospital, and had surgery to remove my tube that night. If I hadn’t booked that scan I would have died in my sleep that night due to internal bleeding.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives Driving uphill behind a flatbed truck carrying I-beams and I envisioned them sliding off the truck and hitting my windshield. I changed lanes so I wasn’t behind the truck and two seconds later, the I-beams were sliding off onto the road where my car would’ve been, sparking and gouging the pavement. Terrifying. To this day, I won’t stay behind a truck with anything that’s “strapped down.”

Back in my 20's I drove to pub, had a few pints then went to a party and drank water for about 3 hours. Anyone want a lift home? 1 person, everyone else knew I'd been drinking but hadn't seen the water. Anyway, he's trying to tell me where he lives (pointing and gesticulating), I run a red and immediately notice the police at the junction on my right, pull straight over. He pulls in right behind me, I admit I'd been drinking but hadn't for around 3 hours, breathalises me and I come up just on the limit, he says "you'll be sober by the time I get you to the station and do a proper breath test, just go home". That was the last time I drove with a blood alcohol level higher than 0.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives I was 18, freshly out of high school and got a job at a newly opened pizza place. The crew was all younger kids around my age, I quickly befriended another girl working there but there was a guy, maybe a year or two older than me, who just gave me the weirdest vibes. I just felt uncomfortable being around him. He didn't really do anything outright strange, he hit on me and kept asking for my number, but I had a boyfriend (now my husband) and kept turning this guy down, he was never rude or about it or anything, so I had no real reason to feel anything was off about him, but I did.

Sometimes while I was working, I'd feel like someone was staring at me and I'd turn around and he'd be watching me from the other side of the kitchen. I remember telling the girl I had befriended that I just felt something was *off* about that guy and he made my skin crawl. Another coworker, who had gone to school with the guy, overheard the conversation and told me that he understood, his friend could be intense and off-putting but he was mostly harmless. The other girl and I just kind of tried to laugh it off but she agreed that something just didn't feel right.

I always worked the late shift, so I could start after my college classes and I worked until close, one night the creepy guy got off work maybe an hour or two before close and I was scheduled to close. So he leaves at his scheduled time, and I work until close and then go to leave and walk to my car. It was around 1:00AM at this time and super dark, as I'm walking to my car I notice someone else in the parking lot, it was the creepy guy and he was just... standing there. Watching me. His car was still there so he wasn't waiting for a ride, he had just waited for me to leave. I got in my car and felt just incredibly weirded out by the entire thing so I left, went home to my apartment, told my partner what happened and then sent my manager a text and said I was sorry, but the creepy guy was making me uncomfortable to the point that I couldn't work there anymore and that had been my last night. I never went back.

About a month later, I see on the news that the creepy guy from the pizza place had followed the other girl from work, the one I had been friends with, one night after a closing shift. He had waited outside her house in the dark, broke in when everyone was asleep, [unalived] her dad, and held her hostage/assaulted her for hours while the police and swat team tried to get him out of the house.

I still think about her a lot, and at the time I felt genuinely guilty about what happened to her, as if I could have done something to prevent it.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives My wife was going to go on a road trip with friends down to a bigger city for a concert. She had done this several times before. Friends were close friends of ours but for some reason, I felt off about it that one day. I said to her ‘babe, I don’t know why and you can ignore me if you’d like. but I don’t think you should go. I don’t know why, but i feel like something is going to happen’ She knows I’d never tell her not to do anything she wanted. It was out of the blue and out of character for me. So she decided to stay home and watch movies with me.

About 2 hours later after the rest of the crew left, we got a phone call that they had gotten into a severe accident. 2 friends in the hospital and someone from the other vehicle dead on scene. Had she gone along, she would have been sitting in the seat where they had been hit by the other driver and most likely [unalived].

Someone, somewhere, somehow was warning me. And I’m glad we both listened to it.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives In middle school, I was up late one night. Mom and brother asleep, dad gone on business. I had let the dog out, and when I went to go get him, I got a bad feeling like someone was out there. There wasn't really a reason to feel this way, it was just dark, and I got spooked, so I put the chain lock up on the back door when we got back inside. Back then, we never locked our doors. A few minutes later, the dog is drinking by the back door, and he suddenly stops and starts growling (like a low grumble) at the door. I was sitting where I could see the dog but not the door. Then I hear the door pull open and the chain lock catch. The dog started barking like crazy and I ran upstairs to wake my brother up. He went out and looked around, but no one was there. I think the dog's barking scared them away, but I dont know who it was or what would have happened if I hadn't locked the door.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives About 2 years ago me and my dad loved going on night walks, It was something we’ve always done more less every night. One night however as were about half way through our daily route we got to an alleyway. Now normally I’ve never thought anything of it but something this night just told me not too walk through , I had a really bad feeling and I urged my dad to just go back home. He kept brushing it off and saying I was just scared of the dark and nothing was going to happen. After a couple of minutes of arguing we finally turned back and walked home.
Turns out about 20 minutes after we left there was a completely random attack in that exact alleyway that left a poor young girl stabbed thankfully not to death but with life changing injuries . I still dread to think what would of happened if we didn’t walk back.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives I was in a straight city road in the late evening with no cars and few intersections and was driving along with my friend following in the car behind. I was on autopilot more or less and I saw my friend flash their lights, and looked up and saw a car broken down with no lights in my lane. I was able to break and get out of the way in time but would have totally collided if my friend hadn't flashed their lights. After we get where we're going, I thank them for flashing and tell them how I hadn't seen, only for them to say huh I didn't flash my lights.

I think they had gone over a bump and their lights had just directed up briefly. And I was just really really lucky.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives Weird intuition runs in my family. I have tons of stories of super weird s**t I "predicted" when I was a kid that I ended up coming true. And of course instances as an adult of being right about gut feelings many times, but my favorite story is:

Everyone was at home but my brother. I was chilling in the living room and my mom was in her room. My mom comes BARRELING out of her room out of breath in absolute panic. Grabbing my arms and going "When's the last time you talked to brother?!?!" I told her to relax and that he had JUST left for a ride on his motorcycle. She wouldn't relax and made everyone call him and she called him multiple times. At first he wouldn't pick up, but then he finally did. He had been hit by an SUV maybe five miles from our house and the SUV took off. He ended up in a ditch, but he was wearing his protective gear and thankfully the car hit the bike not him. Just a couple bruises, thankfully. But somehow she knew the moment it happened.

Mothers truly know everything. She said a lot of stuff that seemed extremely odd and like she was completely out of it when she was dying in the hospital, and some of that ended up being true too.

I was five and walking with my mom to visit a friend. We were going to have lunch and see her new kitten.

We walked up the driveway and my mother stopped to look at the front of the house. She noticed all the windows facing the street were closed with the curtains down. Very unusual for her friend who enjoyed watching birds at the feeders placed throughout the yard.

She quickly picked me up and began back down the driveway. I protested that I was hungry and wanted to see the kitten. My mom hushed me and carried me home.

This was in the late 70’s before cellphones. She called her friend several times and then called my father and asked him to check on her friend as she was worried.

My mom was right to be worried. Her friend had been r***d and [unalived] by an intruder. He was never caught.

Something about those closed drapes warned my mother away from that home and may have saved us from an encounter with an evil person.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives My husband and I were snorkeling in the late afternoon/early evening in Hawaii on our honeymoon. It was this beautiful bay, and the marine life was unforgettable. My husband got excited and waved me to swim out further to where he was. He is a very strong swimmer and likes to push boundaries as well.

When I got there, there were all these fish tightly packed into the rocks. Hundreds of them squishing in as tight as possible. When I saw that my gut feeling was "we need to get the f**k out of here".

He didn't realize this was a fear response from the fish and was so excited to see so many. I begged him that we need to get out of the water, something is wrong, fish don't behave like this. I got desperate and even tried pulling him with me. Finally instinct took over and I took off back to shore. He followed me around ten minutes later--annoyed that I had cut the swim short.

Next day it was on the news that a tiger shark had been in the area and attacked two locals. One man lost a leg. Now, I'm not saying the tiger shark was there licking its chops, it could have been something else that spooked the fish, but now my husband listens to me when I say "gut feeling says no".

Now this was a red flag for me, where the gut feeling started. We walked for about 2 more minutes and it was still there. There were 2 guys in the car and one of them rolled down their window, he smiled at me and then turned to the driver. He spoke Spanish, but so did I. I swore I heard him say "This should be easy, hm?". Then I noticed the van about to park next to us. At this point, my friend noticed too, and glanced at me. One of the men was about to speak to us, but we ran full sprint down the sidewalk to the park at the end, there were always people with dogs there so it was the safest place at the moment. This was at about 4PM, so it wasn't that late. I don't know what would've happened, but if we would've kept walking like normal, id have an idea of what wouldve.

I had a bad feeling and ran up to the close door and made sure it had locked behind me. Shortly after, the man was banging against the glass trying to get in. Don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t ran.

When I was in grad school, I took the bus back to Chicago after spring break, but we got delayed and it was 3am when we got to Chicago. I didn't have cab money so I was stuck walking to the El, dragging my suitcase.
The backstreets were deserted that time of night, so I was hurrying. Then a car came up behind me and started following me, just a bit slower than I was walking so I couldn't quite see them. They would drop back and then roll up again.
I considering running. At the time, I was in the best shape of my life. My intuition told me to just turn around. Turn around and look them in the face. I don't know what my face actually looked like to them but they drove away after that.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives I was riding my bike around my school building on a weekend, there was nobody else around. I liked to zoom along the sidewalks and hop off the curbs into the parking lots, it was fun to have the place to myself. At one point I was going along one side of the building, and I would usually have just continued off the curb and gone straight ahead. For some reason, I decided to brake hard and try to make the 90 degree turn to stay on the sidewalk at the corner.

A garbage truck rumbled by, exactly where I'd just decided not to be. I wasn't aware of hearing it coming, I was kind of zoned out, but some part of me must have. That really rattled me.

Walked away from a bomb in 2001 (no one [died], and injuries were fewer than intended); I'd been dithering about going home when something in my head said "don't hang around, head for the station now". Heard it go off a few minutes later.

Medically, kept telling GP something wasn't right despite reassurances, and begrudgingly they sent me for a scan. Spinal tumours. When I got the same not-right feeling a decade later and pushed for tests, a different GP believed me. It was still luck the sonographer found the pancreatic tumour so quickly, as the first scan was booked for lower GI/pelvis, not upper GI, but at least she did!

Guy Divorced 3 Years Ago Drops Off 3 Y.O. With His Ex-Wife Completely Out Of The Blue

I was a rower (like the rowing that’s on the olympics where everyone is sitting backwards) in high school and college.
We practiced an a massive river in my city and there where tourist boats, rowing teams, sailboats, you name it.

One day I was leading a 4 seater and sitting at the stern of the boat, when i noticed a small sailboat coming towards us with some serious speed, but I didn’t say anything because those boats can turn on a dime.

I looked over again a few seconds later and thought to myself “they aren’t going to turn” even though they easily could have. I screamed for more pressure and everyone was confused, but did it anyways.

Less than 10 seconds later the sailboat crashed into us, missed my torso by about 6 inches, snapped my oar in half bruising 2 ribs, and crushed the stern of the rowing shell.

Without the extra bit of power I would have died, and some of my teammates would have most likely been seriously injured.

I was working at a Dollar General running the cash register. It was pretty slow and there were some boxes that needed to go to the back room. Something kept telling me not to take them back yet. When it finally felt right, I took them back and heard a loud crash. A girl who was just learning to drive drove the car through the store. It stopped on top of the cash register. There would have been no easy way out if I was there. It was a very surreal feeling and I still think about it 16 years later.

I had to cross a couple side streets and 1 really busy main road on my way. Something deep down told me to stop and wait before I got to the crosswalk to hit the button and walk across. So I stopped for only a few seconds to double knot my shoes and as I'm looking up a f150 looking truck runs the red and plows thru the lamp post and the crosswalk button I was only about 15ft from.

35 People Who Felt That Something Was Off Shared How Listening To Their Gut Saved Their Lives When on vacation in a foreign town, I went to a public toilet with my 4y old. In front of the entrance was a woman, talking on the phone and taking a quick look at us. Something in that look felt really off and I decided to keep my eyes and ears open for her. Entered the restroom with my kid and heard the front door open and close but no stall door being moved or locked. I quickly grabbed my son and walked towards the main door, where said woman was already standing, looking at a map and trying to involve us in some form of conversation. I tried to keep moving towards the main entrance, but she stood in the way. Suddenly I got a strange feeling, looked to the men's toilets and saw a huge guy quietly leaving a stall, that wasn't all closed. Pushed the lady aside and got the hell out of there with my son.
We would have been robbed or worse, pretty sure about that.

Nothing like that happened to save my life, but I had a similar situation that might have saved someone else's. Some years ago I was about to go home, when I had a feeling I should go check my cows at a rent pasture about 4 miles away, in the opposite direction. I drove there, and pulled in at the gate. The pasture was on a corner, with a county road on one side and a heavier traveled road on another side. The gate was on the county road. From there I could see the cattle over near the state road fence, and everything looked fine, so I was about to back out and go home, when I got a strong feeling that I should go check on them. When I did, I discovered someone had driven through the fence and then driven away near where the cows were grazing. If I had gotten there 15 minutes later there's a very good chance the whole bunch would have been out on the road, but I was able to move them to an adjoining pasture, and go back later to fix the fence.

My truck broke down early in the morning on the way to work. Still dark. I pulled off onto the grass from the highway and set my blinkers. Debated lowering the tailgate to sit, as it was hot, but something made me stay inside. Minutes later a sleepy driver rear-ended me, knocking my truck on the side. I had to be cut out of the truck and needed stitches and had lots of contusions. Don't understand why my mind wouldn't let me sit on the tail gate, but I'm alive to tell you this.

I was driving to work very early in the morning. I had to set out at about 05:00 to get into work at 06:30 because I had to get on the motorway to get there. There had been a bit of a storm the night before so I set out a few minutes early because I thought I might get a bit delayed. I was on an A road doing well below the speed limit because of the conditions, when a tree fell directly across the road in front of me. I honestly only saw it because the movement of the branches caught my headlights and made odd shadows. I stopped about a foot away from where it came down. My next problem was this was just around a blind bend and there’s no way that the next car was going to stop in time. Thankfully I’d got one of those flashing torches in my glovebox so I ran back round the corner with that in hand to warn others. This was a bit before mobile phones so I had to wait for the next car so they could turn round to the nearest house to get help.

I’m known for having a link to what my fam call “vibes”. My granda stopped by to say “tell [mom] it’s ok, I love you all.” Went to my parents at 02:00, and gave the message. We were told later he passed during the night. 19, I’m an au-pair looking after 3 kids. One day, I didn’t let the kids out at all. No reason other than a feeling I *had* to protect them. That day, my 4-yr sis was admitted to hospital and went into a coma. These are just 2 examples. I know when something is ‘off’. Fam is used to getting calls “are you ok?” I’ve never known which 1 was in trouble before I called, but I’ve never been wrong. Also never hit an animal, something tells me hit the brakes even around blind corners.

Once when I was driving down a busy 4 lane road I saw a dad and his young son walking along the sidewalk holding hands. I had this creepy feeling of what if the kid broke away from his dad and ran into the street? Because of that feeling, I slowed way down. Sure enough this kid got away from dad and ran directly into my lane and he just froze. We were looking at each other we were so close. I stopped about 4 feet away from that kid. If I hadn't slowed down I wouldn't have been able to stop in time. That was about 15 years ago and it still chills me to the bone.

Nothing as intense as these, but one summer I was working as a camp counselor in Maine and could walk to the camp from my dad's place. The camp was on a ridge between two lakes so lots of early morning mist (really shows you why Stephen King's books are set there). I was walking to the camp for our morning meeting one day and it was mistier than usual. As I was starting to head further up the road something told me to slow down and really be careful. Of course my paranoid butt was more worried about a serial killer jumping out of the blueberry fields, but it wasn't even an unexpected car. Instead an entire herd of deer came bounding across the road just ahead of me at full tilt. If I'd be walking my normal pace I'd probably have been run over. Not super dramatic, but, hey, at least it wasn't a moose.

I was maybe 8 and slept over at my dad’s apartment. I wake up and the fridge is moved, there’s a knife in the wall where the fridge was, my dad’s telling me to stay out of the kitchen because there’s a snake, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. I think I’m the crazy one and go sit outside while he yammers on about more wild things, which was what might’ve saved my life. Turns out he had gone cold turkey from his alcohol addiction and was hallucinating. A lot. My mom was terrified when she picked me up and I couldn’t tell why. He had a gun in his apartment, and she was worried that if he had hallucinated me as a threat or an intruder, he would’ve shot me.

All of my nearly bad experiences involve driving. Just changing a habit because of a bad feeling and narrowly avoiding serious injury. Like one time I just knew a guy was going to run a stop sign in front of me when I was getting off the freeway (no stop my way) even though he was going really slowly toward the intersection. Was totally right, and probably saved his life by deciding to slow way down because he saw me and just stopped in the middle of the intersection. I would have plowed into his driver door.

I don't really believe in the paranormal and I usually try to find an alternative explanation, and I have to admit in a few cases there's no logical cause I can think of. In some of these cases, I think the subconscious brain "saw" the situation clearly and sent a warning to the conscious brain that seemed miraculous at the time. Maybe. Other cases seem totally unexplainable. I try to keep my mind open. I've had a couple of of apparently unexplainable premonitions, so... there might be "something" we can't explain nor measure out there. Who knows?

It happened to me too: It was around christmas time in 2015 that I've got a last minute opportunity to take holidays for the festive period. At the same time a friend of mine bought a car which was a big deal since he hadn't have one for a decade following moving to London from Eastern Europe. I knew he and his wife will go on a trip to our country and it seemed like the perfect idea to join them, which I did. Weirdly enough, I somehow knew that we'll have an accident but also felt that it will not be life threatening. I just knew. The night before we had a good time, we were excited, had a few beers which was fine and everything seemed normal at our early morning departure. Around 15 hours later in Germany we had an accident. It wasn't my friend's fault. The car was totaled and my lips were temporarily destroyed and swollen so badly I couldn't talk or eat, but that was all. We took the train from there, my friend was devastated but we all made it to our destination and we all lived.
