To call the police and tell them I had a "vision"

I'm not crazy...I'm not someone who believes in phschics or ghosts...I'm the most basic and sensible person ever but this is too weird now and I need to get it out as much as get opinions.

About a year and a half ago I had an idea for a short story or play...and there were some very specific ideas and scenes which came to mind. The story, the characters and certain happenings were vivid. I kept trying to write it...I have had some success already with short stories and a play...so I thought ooh great...this one's a good one!

But I couldn't seem to do it justice. It haunted me...I would see the same scenes over and over and one of them was of a young woman who had been killed and was lying undiscovered between a fence and a wall near some wasteland. I knew it was in Manchester.

I know...it's grim. She'd been killed more than twenty years ago and I could see details in my mind right down to her clothing and I "knew" who had killed her....the names...and under what circumstances. I thought it was my "voice" developing as a writer. It may in fact be just that...

Then about...I think 6 months ago, a news story broke that the skeletal body of a woman had been found inbetween a wall and a fence in Manchester and there was a photograph of the clothing found as it had an unusual print....which whilst not the exact same print I "saw" in my idea, was very similar...It totally freaked me out.

I toyed with the idea of telling the police what had come to me...but I looked up how the Manchester police deal with so-called "Psychic evidence" and it didn't look like they would take it seriously. It said they did not take the calls seriously as they could waste precious time. I undestand tat so haven't called...but it's still unsolved and they don't know who she i and it niggles me! What shall I do? After a while I kept googling to see if they had found out her identity...or any other info...but no. I feel like it could be a coincidence...but what if it's not? I can't say the names that came to me on here incase they are real...what shal I do? Try to foget it?

I have had other occurrences which could be considered a bit phychic but I have always dismissed them as coincidences...they were not really "big" like this.

It's a coincidence. They are incredibly common. The breadth of our experience and imagination are kind of narrow.

(I dreamed about a Tsunami the night before that big one happened. That was a coincidence too. Felt freaky, cos that's how our brains work, but honestly: there's nothing to it. Hundreds of other people in the world probably had a dream about a big wave that night and felt a bit freaked out when it actually happened...)
