Well all have stories or know of stories that don't seem like they are real. BUT, they are! :o) Or maybe it's just something ya wanna tell either way lets hear some stories people. I'll get the ball rolling with a story. :o) When I was younger about 12 or 13 I got chicken pox. (fun eh?) Anyway it was really bad in my case. I ran a relay high fever and was broke out fairly bad. I remember not being able to sleep because the fever was so high and the itching was bad. Well one night I finally passed out at about 7 O'Clock. :o) I had fallen asleep in the living room, but, it was a quiet day and I was alone in there. Mom and dad would come in every so often and check up on me. Around 9pm mom came in to see how I was doing and see if I was still sleeping. I was talking in my sleep. Not just talking but, from what they say I was explaining something. It had something to do with a car because mom understood that I was saying something about the engine. I was about 13 I knew nothing of cars especially the engine. Dad came in and they both took notes and started writing down what I was saying. Turns out that I was describing in great detail how to take apart and rebuild a car engine. A SPECIFIC CAR at that. I was apparently describing how to rebuild an engine of a 57 chevy. Much later in life when I got the internet I took the notes and looked it up online. Everything was exact. The 57 chevy was and still is my favorite car. To this day we have no idea how I explained that in that much detail. Jed. :o)

I have one. When my husband and I were dating, well I think we were living together at this time, but anyway.. he was a store manager at a Pizza Hut. One night I was home while he was working and it was raining. No storms, just rain. All of sudden I was worried about him for no apparent reason. So I called the store to tell him to be careful. I figured, oh he's going to think my imagination is running wild again, but I really felt like I needed to tell him to be careful. Well, as it turned out, they were short on drivers, and Randy had left the store to take some deliveries. So I told Mike, the kid who answered, to tell him that I called and this was going to sound weird but to tell him I said to be careful. About 5 minutes later Randy called me, out of breath. He had just been robbed at gunpoint! He was fine, he gave up the money without question, he was just shaken. I couldn't believe it! I asked him if Mike told him I called and he said no, he had just gotten back and told everyone what happened. I told him to ask Mike what I said, I heard him ask Mike, then I heard Mike go, "Oh my God! She said to be careful!" I bring up this story every time he thinks I'm being silly when I tell him to drive carefully or be careful at work. (He's an electrician now... so I still worry!)

I have one. It was 1970 and we were living in Norfolk, Virginia. Hubby was an E-3 in the Navy and we lived in an apartment house with some other couples from the ship. All of us were in the same boat (so to speak) meaning we didn't make enough money to be able to afford a telephone, so we used the pay phone on the corner. One night we were playing cards with one of the other couples and were in the middle of a game, when all of a sudden out of the clear blue sky, hubby decides he needs to go and use the phone to call his parents in Michigan. So off he goes, while the rest of use sit around and wait for him. When he returns, he looks awful. He learned that his brother had been in a serious car accident the night before. The driver was killed and his brother was in the hospital with a serious injury to his neck and would be going into surgery as soon as they could get him stable. My mother-inlaw said that she had been sending out thoughts all day for hubby to call home.

Bigdog and I were driving through Golden Gate Park on a fine summer Sunday, which meant lots of people in the park and cars parked all along each side of the roadway. All of a sudden, I had a vision of a ball rolling out into the road, which usually means kids chasing it. I was trying to get the words out to tell Bigdog to be on the alert because something might happen when all of a sudden some people pushed a baby stroller out between two cars right in front of us. Bigdog did not hit the stroller. I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that must have been the premonition I had. I was telling Bigdog about it as we proceeded along, and as I was telling it, a ball came rolling out into the street right in front of us ...

WOW!!! these stories are amazing. I have one, I think. Some friends were in the process of adopting. One day I got a really strong feeling that they had gotten a baby. I called them and said "do you have a baby and haven't told me?" My friend was laughing and saying no way. We talked and I kept asking her and she was laughing telling me that I would be the first person she called when they did. Two days later the phone rang and it was her saying "I was dying when you called, our baby had been born the day before but none of the papers had been signed off so we couldn't say anything!"

These are fun! Jed, that's just spooky. Like past-life regression stuff. There's alot of this stuff that I chalk up as "women's intuition", which to me is probably a combination of heightened observation and 6th sense. But most of the stories here don't really fall in that category. I have one that's sort of been an ongoing situation. I was standing in the checkout line of a grocery story with Colossus about a year ago. He had picked up some flowers for my mother and SIL along with some groceries. We'd had a busy morning and I figured Colossus had caught his limit, so I didn't say a thing when I suddenly realized I needed a card for my SIL's birthday. We were standing in line, Colossus was paying, and I'm standing next to him perfectly silent but thinking hard about the fact that I really wanted to go back and get a card. As he was putting the receipt in his wallet, without looking up, Colossus says to me "what did you say about a card?" I stood there gaping at him, then looked at the cashier and asked if I had been thinking out loud, and she confirmed I had not. I was pretty thunderstruck and when I told Colossus the deal, he got one of those half-smirk/half secret-smiles on his face. Apparently this was not the first time he'd read a mind, but it certainly was the first he'd done it to me. This got to happen quite frequently after that, sometimes explainable sometimes not. It still freaks me out sometimes, I mean - can't a person even have privacy in their own minds? LOL.

I am loving these stories! GAL....that is truly amazing and I guess it gives credence to some of the people we see on TV who claim to 'hear' or 'see' things in their mind.

That is just freaky, GAL, although I used to have a boyfriend I could do the mind-reading thing with. I always figured it was because we had the same birthday. Wait a minute! You and I have the same birthday ...

My husband and I do that sort of thing all the time but I think it's because we have been together for 21 years and we just know what eachother is thinking. Sometimes, I tell him to get out of my head!

This was 25+ years ago. My husband was driving an old flatbed truck home with lumber on it for our house. I suddenly got a feeling of foreboding and envisioned the brakes failing and him not being able to stop where the road met a highway. I sat and pictured him with great intensity stopping and being fine. When he got home he told me that a picture of my face came to him warning him of bad brakes. He tested them. No brakes. He was able to down shift and come to a stop just as the truck met the highway.

I got another one... I was driving my mom somewhere. Mom had been there and knew the way, I didn't. As we were driving down the road there was a right turn or you could stay on the road and continue on. If you continue on the road merges with another road. The merging road was on a hilltop so you couldn't see anything coming down the hill. But, there was a stop sign on that road where they could sit and look for a clear spot to get on the road. I asked mom ... right or left. Mom said turn right. Well I made the turn and we saw a coal truck barreling down the hill and onto the road right where we would have been. I thought wow what an idiot he didn't even stop. I looked over at mom and she was looking towards the truck. She was white as a sheet. I asked her what was wrong and she said... we were supposed to go left. We would have been right infront of that truck. True story.

You might think I'm weird but... 2 years ago my mom was in the hospital. She's been at what they call the End Stage of COPD for 6 years. Everything was looking fine for where she was at in her disease, but she kept saying she couldn't breathe. She quit eating, she quit drinking, she fought her breathing treatments. The doctor said he thought she was just giving up. I lived 2 hours away from the hospital so drove back home to pick up some clothes. I called to see how things were, and they put my mom on the phone. My cat Eddie was doing his normal talking and crying like he always does when I come home. My mom said he was talking to her, so I just kinda put the phone closer to him. Shortly after I got off the phone, grabbed my stuff, and headed back. I saw a complete difference in my mom than she was when I had left 5 hours earlier. I couldn't believe it. My brother pulled me out in the hall and said that mom told him Eddie said she needed to get better so she could come see our tulip bed. I looked at him and said, well Eddie can't talk and we don't have a tulip bed, much as I wanted one. Later on she told me Eddie wanted her to come visit and see the tulips. I told her but mom we don't have any. She said yes you do, Eddie told me you do. I just kind of blew it off and changed the subject. Later that night I called my now fiance' and asked how he and Eddie were doing. My fiance' asked me if I saw what Gary [landlord] did that morning. I said no, I just rushed in, called the hospital, fed and watered Eddie, grabbed some clothes and left. I guess Gary was worried about me and felt helpless and wanted to something to make me smile. He knew I liked tulips so....he planted me a bed of tulips.
