People From Around The World Share Times Their Gut Instinct Turned Out To Be Right

Some people like to believe that there are people in this world who have powers of precognition, that they can see the future or know when something bad is about to happen.

Personally, I feel like that's pure fantasy. I'm a man of science, after all.

That being said, sometimes some really crazy stuff happens that we just can't explain. So I'm not saying I believe in psychics, I'm just saying that after reading these stories I can understand how some people can.

45. You were meant to save her

When I was 10 we were swimming at a lake with the family and some friends. Everyone was milling about the picnic table grabbing food and I just got this really weird feeling that I needed to go back to the water.

I went back to the beach area, and my 6yo sister was drowning. She couldn’t swim and had waded in too deep, and was bouncing on her tiptoes in the water, coming up just enough so her nose would get above the waterline w her head tilted back so she could catch a breath.

I walked up just as she was too tired to come up again. I ran in and snatched her up.

44. This guy needs to be in jail

I was walking home from school at 15 and this car had been following me for a couple blocks, so I had 911 ready to call on my cell.

Guy ends up cutting me off in a parking lot and trying to force me into his car. I hit dial and told him the cops would be there any minute, and he jumped back in and drove off.

I stopped walking home after that.

43. That's the guy

My husband is really friendly with everyone and when he was maybe 18 or so, some random guy was speaking to him and my husband got an off vibe, he spoke about Adult World to my husband, who he had just met.

Anyway, fast forward a few years and I see a photo of him and it said he assaulted some boys that I happen to have gone to school with.

I showed my husband his photo and he said, " that's the guy! "

Sometimes I have gut feelings for simple things like if I should or shouldn't say something.

My husband had a job that he was on the road a lot and if he drove far I would join as I love long drives, he had to go quite far but I decided not to go with cause my son wouldn't have been able to be strapped in as he was going in a truck, so I stayed home, when he got to the place, he left and the client told him to take the scenic route but he just followed the GPS and he got into an accident, he was driving slower than usual though, it was raining and there was a diesel spill so he slid.

It was a horrible accident but he was unharmed besides whiplash.

42. How to save a life

I have ALWAYS worn my seatbelt. Always. One day I was teaching my ex how to drive on a gravel road with my daughter in the backseat and had a strange feeling not to.

I always follow my gut and did just that. Sure enough, my ex isn't listening to me to slow down and tops a steep hill at 45, loses control and rolls the car.

I managed to jump into the backseat and cover my then 18mo old daughter just before my giant Thermaltake gaming pc (one of the huge old steel ones) hit her.

Instead, it ends up bouncing off my head and flying out the window with enough force to fly a good 50ft down the road.

I'm also the guy that always slows down just before hitting the range of a speed trap. I grew up always being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

As an adult, that never happens anymore.
