Let me first start off by saying that I believe in the supernatural, ESP, ghosts, and all that good stuff. Back when I was in high school, I would frequently get times when something would just pop into my head and shortly after they would come true. I was "seeing the future". I would sometimes just know the phone was going to ring and just start walking towards it before it started ringing. Sometimes I would even tell my roomates so that they knew I wasn't crazy. I would also sometimes predict the exact scores of NFL games. I even predicted the exact score of an OT game (26-20) telling my friend exactly that it would go into overtime and how it would end.
Now, most of the time I would not get much advance warning. These tings would just pop into my head seconds before te event wouls start. Also, these were not situations were I wanted to know the "future event". It was not something I could just sit and think about and it would come true. I was nothing like that. It was just simply a message that would pop into my head.
To this day, I remember the one "prediction" that popped into my head that has not come true yet. One day it came to me that I would die at the age of 35. It did not tell me how. It did not tell me exactly when. Well, on March 26th of this year I turned 35. Since then two strange things have happened where they actually prompted me to say outload, "Am I still here?"
The fist event happened in the first week of April about 1 week after turning 35. I live in the southwest corner of the Twin Cities and I work downtown Minneapolis. It is a 16.1 mile commute that usually takes about 35-45 minutes due to morning traffic. This particular morning, it only took about 20 minutes.
During the drive it felt like everything was in slow motion. I never once had to stop for a green light. There was never a car in front of me, slowing down my drive to work. It was like everyone was giving me my own lane into work that day. It felt like I was in my own dimension and nobody else could see me. It felt like I didn't exist because nobody had to react to me and I didn't have to react to anyone else, or anything else for that matter.
I remember actually saying outload in the car, "Do I still exist?". I felt like I could do anything and nothing would happen. It gave me the feeling of wanting to try to cause an accident to see if it would really happen. I didn't think much of it until last night when I got many of the same feelings again.
The second event happened last night. Last night I decided to go the the Eden Prairie mall and catch a movie. I arrived at the mall about 7:10 in the evening. There was a line of about 10 people purchasing tickets. I could hear most people saying they were going to see Amittyvile. I bought tickets for The Ring II.
I bought some popcorn and a coke, looked at my ticket and say that I was in theatre 12. There were 4 theatres at the very end of the walk and this was one of them. On my way to the theatre, I got a very strange lonely-type feeling, the same feeling I had on that drive to work I mentioned.
I like to get to the theatre early so I can grab a seat in the back and get comfortable as others slowly enter the theatre. I was in luck! I was the first one!
I grabbed a seat and started to watch the pre-movie entertainment. About 15 minutes before the movie, nobody else had shown up yet. I started wondering if they were going to cancel my movie showing. I quickly decided that if this were to happen I would just go see Amittyvile since it was scheduled to start 5 minutes later.
Soon, the upcoming attractions started to play followed by the start of my movie. I was still the only one in the theatre! This is when I got that feeling again and actually said outload, "Do I still exist?".
It felt like I was in my own world. It felt like in my world I could co-exist in the same spot as everyone else, only I could not see them and they could not see me. I don't know how wlse to describe this feeling. I was the only one in the theatre for the entire movie. Nobody even poked their head in.
When the movie was over, I then got to take the long walk back from my theatre. Again, nobody was around. I finally saw two people entering the second level of the mall as I was exiting. They were coming up the excalater as I was going down. The strange feeling was still there. I still wondered if I existed. I stared at them as we passed hoping that one of them would at least look at me to acknowledge I was there. It didn't happen.
The entire ride home was much like the ride to work that other strage day. There were cars. THere were stoplights. But it seemed nothing would impeed my path (slow down in any way) my drive back home. It again gave me the feeling of wanting to do something crazy just to get a reazction out of someone to make them prove I exist.
Anyway, that's my story. I am still a bit freaked out today. These were some strange feelings and strange events since turning 35. Does anyone else get feelings like this? DO you all belive in ESP or maybe that we all have hidden portions of our brain that do these kind of things to us but we can't control them?
Still freaked... Since nobody can tell me what happens when I die, I guess maybe I was considering that maybe we enter a second dimension or something. Many strange thoughts went through my head as I sat there alone in the theatre last night. It would have been nice to have just a couple more people in there. Why did they play that movie just for me?
Since high school, I have never feared death. I felt like I could do anything because I "knew" I wasn't going to die until the age of 35. Now I feel like if I make it to 36, it will be one big celebration.
