‘As I walked into a high school hockey game, I had a strong premonition I would be hit with a hockey puck while sitting in the stands. I told all my friends who very much laughed and gave me shit. I asked them to choose our seats which ended up pretty far away at center-ish ice.

‘They made of fun of me all game until half way through the second when a puck comes screaming off the ice and hits me square in the chest falling flat into my open hands.

‘We never talked about it much after that, and no, I do not think i’m psychic. It was just the first craziest thing that happened to me that popped in my head. I still have the puck 30 years later.’

‘In college, I was chilling with some friends, doing homework and hanging out, when I got an email from my grandma. She had been really into genealogy lately, and had found some distant branches of the family tree. She was letting me know she’d discovered that I had a 3rd cousin who attended the same college as me.

‘Well, not only did I know the guy, he was actually sitting right beside me as I read the email. I jumped up and shouted “Dude you’re my cousin!” And that’s how the guy one chair over got upgraded from friend to family in two seconds flat.’

‘I moved away from my hometown when I was 20. I started working for a company that had several locations around the city. One day I just happened to be walking past one of the locations that I didn’t work at because I was going to an eye appointment.

‘Right as I was walking by, a guy I knew from that other location walks out the door and tells me that my mom is on the phone. She was desperately trying to get in touch with me because my grandfather had died.

‘She knew the name of the company I worked for but didn’t know which location I worked at, so she got an operator to connect her with one of the locations at random. The guy I knew said he was on the phone with her and was just starting to explain that I didn’t work at that location when he looked out the window and saw me walking by.’

‘Have a 2 dollar bill that has me and my wife’s signature on it saying “just the 2 of us”. We did it when we first got together and after a while had it framed. Some years later it was stolen by some jackass who decided to break into my house.

‘I ended up going to some random gas station weeks later and got I back as change. Literally just stood there and stared at it in disbelief and told the cashier about it. Just insane coincidence and luck. Still have that sucker and it’s been another 5 years.’

‘My date and I got stuck at the top of a Ferris Wheel for nearly 3 hours when the ride’s mechanism failed.

‘It was a very tall wheel – and she was afraid of heights. So, those hours in the Ferris Wheel car together seemed like eternity.’

‘Taking a beautiful Saturday morning ride home on my motorcycle. Mini van pulled out in front of me. Totalled motorcycle and van. Hospital did a scan of my head. Come to find out I had brain cancer that we caught very early. Which may have saved my life.’

‘I woke up to a really loud noise. Then I noticed that one of the blades of my ceiling fan had come off and was buried in the wall next to my head.’

‘I had the lower bunk of a set of bunk beds. I was about 3 – 4 years old at the time, and I woke up and ran to my parents room just minutes before the top bunk smashed down on my lower bunk. We all ran in and found my older sister sitting up on the upper bunk as it lay on my lower bunk, crying but otherwise fine.

‘I don’t know that it could have killed me – I kind of doubt it would have been that bad – but it definitely would have hurt me if I’d still been there when it crashed.’

‘A glass of water slid across my desk a few inches with no one touching it. This may seem fairly mundane, but it was so crazy I legitimately believed in ghosts for about 0.3 seconds and it completely changed my world view for that barest instant.

‘I was working on my computer and thought I saw it move out of the corner of my eye, but by the time I looked at it, it was still. So I watched it for a good 30 seconds and it started sliding all on its own, right at me. It moved about 3 inches, then stopped. Freaked me the fuck out.

‘Then I realized it was super humid…. the glass was only about half full but it was sweating a lot so it made a pool of condensation beneath it, which caused the glass to float ever so slightly.

‘A slight slope to the desk and the fan I had blowing on me, caused the glass to slide until the layer of water under it got too thin to float it anymore, so it stopped.

‘I figured it out almost instantly, but for that ONE moment…. I believed.’
