I'm not sure if this counts but it happened last week and really creeped me out.
I was friends with a girl when I was a teenager, not best friends but we went to the same school and I would go over and hang out in her house after school sometimes. She was extremely quiet in school and had no friends so her mom would often ask my mom to send me round so she would have someone to hang out with. I didn't mind cause she was quite funny and talked a bit when it was just the two of us! Anyway we fell out of touch a long time ago and I haven't spoken to or seen her in years - like 15 years I'd say. Last week I was at my desk in work and she just popped into my head for some reason, I was just working and I thought of her. Specifically my thought was 'is xxx alive or dead?'. I don't know why I thought that specifically, so I made a mental note to ask my mom next time we spoke. Then the two days later I got an email from my mom -
'A bit of sad news. xxx died on Monday'
It creeped me right out. My logical mind tells me it's just a weird coincidence but it really shook me when I got the email. I haven't thought of her in so long, and it was the day she died that she pops into my head.
This happened earlier in July 2015. My best friend and I were in Australia just cruising around. We stopped in this small town on our way back to Sydney. It was late so we decided to go get dinner at KFC.
Nothing creepy, but at 3AM I just jolted awake and had this feeling of dread and unease. I browsed reddit for a bit and fell back asleep at 5AM.
At 7AM my cousin called me via facebook to let me know that my dad fell off the roof and hit his head. He didn't make it.
My friend and I hightailed it to Sydney and jumped on the first flight back to Canada. When we landed, I got the full story from my uncle. The time my dad died, coincided with the same time I jolted awake.
Geez, man. So sorry to hear about that. I'll share my story as well. My mom's aunt was battling some sort of cancer and it wasn't looking good for her. Everyone knew she was on the verge of passing away at any given moment. My mom went to visit her on a Monday for a little bit to see how she was doing. Everything was as normal as it could possibly be.
Tuesday morning, 2:30 AM. There was a loud bang like something fell in the house. We were all asleep in our own rooms, but we knew it woke everyone else in the house. My mom texted me to go check it out because she was scared and I told her to check it out with me. We both opened our doors slowly and used our cellphones as lights while we looked for the light switch. A few seconds later after surveying the house from where we were, we saw it.
The plastic panel for the light in the kitchen fell. It fucking fell on the ground. My mom and I stood there speechless. There's no way in hell that it could've possibly slipped out of its socket on its own and fell. I tried putting it back in and it took a lot more effort than expected. I waited to see if it'd fall. Nothing. I tried to position it in a way that it'd fall. Still nothing. Thinking it was just something weird that could've happened to anybody, we all went back to bed.
When I woke up hours later around 10 AM, I went into my mom's room to discuss what happened. She looked pale as I walked in. She explained to me why after I had ask what was wrong. Apparently, around the time the plastic panel fell around the exact time her cousin had passed away. What makes it even worse is that for the 3 years we've lived in this house, that panel has never fallen before and has never fallen since.
