A shout in my head...
Several years ago when I was working in a job I hated - a job I hated every single minute of, including the bus journey and the walk to and from the bus stop. A job that made me less aware of surroundings.

Every night I would cross the busy road - ring road busy with plenty of rush hour idiots - if there was no traffic and the red man was on I would be still wary about crossing....but, as soon as the green man came on I'd cross without looking knowing that the cars would all be stopping anyway.

Except one day I was waiting for the green man to come on. When it changed I gave it a couple of seconds and was just about to step into the road when I heard this voice in my head that sounded like my sister just shouting "STOP!!!!".

I stopped....and no sooner had I stopped when a Transit van zoomed past at gone 50mph right in the road I would have stepped out in. I would have been almost certainly killed instantly.

I've spoken to her about this and she doesn't recall anything - no sudden shout in her head, no sudden flash of me dying - nothing. It was definitely her voice though and although I'm still here to tell the story, I'm still freaked out about it.

that is certainly true!
had it been a few years earlier the last things i would have felt would have been two ghostly hands pushing me into the road.
