Have you ever predicted something and it came true?

Not really AIBU - sorry!

I just wondered if you've ever predicted something and it actually happened?

I met my now husband through work when I was almost married to someone else and I just knew I would end up marrying him! I can't even say I fancied him that much to begin with I just had this overwhelming feeling that I would end up with him. And about 3 years later I did!

Yes I predicted that the 2 girls at my work were going to be pregnant A few weeks later one of them said she was pregnant and she had found out the day after I had said it. 5 months later the other girl was pregnant. How I knew I will never know.

And in 2011 this is the scary one to me. I had been telling my mum for 3 weeks that she needed to go to the doctors as I was sure she had breast cancer.

Bear in mind there was no history of this type of illness in the family. Anyway my mum wouldn't listen to me and kept telling me that there's no need to go doctors. And it would never happen to her.

But for 3 weeks I kept telling her she needed to go doctors and get checked straight away

After 3 weeks of me telling her I told her I will tell you one more time. This is the last time i am saying this and it's up to you if you listen. And I told her 1 more time. You have to go doctors and get tested for breast cancer.

This time she listened. And yes she had breast cancer. There is no reason I would of known that she had cancer at that moment. And she has since said she would never of checked and it would of got her.

And another time I predicted I would be in a crash. A few weeks later the sub frame on my car went and I lost control of the car. The car was a write off.

Its amazing and lucky to just know these things but I can't explain how I knew. Its like a higher power was protecting me.

And 1 more time my nana was expected to die in hospital on a December night. All the family were sat just listening to the machines beeping.

Waiting for her time to end it was awful knowing a priest just gave get last rights.

As he left we felt helpless. As I reached for her hand I felt a sudden energy as though everything was going to be OK. I was holding her hand for 20 minutes. Then I let her hand go and I said to my family who were round the bed. She's not ready.

Then I walked out onto the corridor.

Within 10 minutes of me saying she wasn't ready she was back with us and was being wheeled up to the recovery ward.

She lived another 16 months she wasn't ready

Yes loads but the main two still turn my stomach. My dh worked away on an ship in his native country just after we were married. He rang me daily and I remember telling him people would rob them on the ship. They did. At gun point. Luckily they hadn’t come to hurt anyone, just rob them. That was scary but the worst still gives me goosebumps. I was walking down a back lane going to my mums house about 13 years ago. Not sure why the back lane as it wasn’t even a quicker way. Anyway, I had this overwhelming fear hit me that I was being watched. The back of my head was burning like I was going to be hit with something or like it was a target. I actually ran out the back lane and I got to my mothers, I said someone is going to be shot. Not even hours later DH’s friend was shot in the back of the head in a side street.
There have been loads of things but those two are the ones that stand out and are the most outing because I remember telling anyone who’d listen at the time. Lol

I'm good at knowing if someone will die.
I told my friend for 5 years her dad would carry on, then she said he was ill again and I said this time she needed to accept it was his time.
I told an old lady we knew that even as she was being taken to hospital she would be coming home .
Someone I knew in passing , I begged to go see the doctor, as soon as she could, turned out she had cancer, it bought her 9 months with her children.

I don't predict things, but sometimes get odd feelings. My partner had to travel to Manchester for a one-day work thing a couple of years ago. We used to live there and I love the city, I was born there, my mum still lives there etc. He was staying over at my mum's and planned to meet old friends in a bar while he was there. I really didn't want him to go, I get anxious sometimes but I just felt really uneasy and didn't know why. He was still out with friends when the news started to come out about the Arena bombing - he was only ten minutes walk away but oblivious. I couldn't get hold of him for ages, by which time it was clear what was happening. I called my mum in the meantime. When I got hold of him he was on his way to Shudehill to get the tram home! I told him just to get a taxi which luckily he was able to. I was shaken up about it, but weird coincidences happen.

I also think about people and then they ring, or something. I needed to chase up a quote from a plumber the other day but didn't have the number, my partner had it. It had been over two weeks since we met with the guy. So I said, 'please can you ring the plumber in a minute' and he said (he was at the laptop) 'yes - wait hold on I just got an email through from him literally this second.' A bit stupid but weird!

I've remembered another one - my birth was foretold by a gypsy traveller. At the time I was born, my dad was a Special Constable, and had to visit the local travellers for some reason. The matriarch of the group told dad that his daughter would be born the following Monday. Mum was pregnant, but was not due for a couple more weeks, so dad took it with a pinch of salt - until I turned up early, on the Monday as predicted.
