Amazing Premonitions
by Crystal

Ever since I was little, I have been fascinated with the spirit world, ghosts, strange happenings, etc. I always felt a connection, somehow. Talking to them. Trying to make some weird connection with them. Throughout the years some strange things have happened to me, and still happen to me that I can't explain. Here are just a few:

About seven years ago I had just moved into my new apartment. I knew the maintenance man pretty well (he was one of my best friends) and he let me walk through the exact apartment I would get before I was suppose to sign the lease. The apartment had been abandoned for two years, due to many repairs that needed to be made before someone could move in it. The first night I moved in, I felt something strange there. A presence not really wanting me to be around. I was moving all day long and finally got everything situated. I hung up my pictures, decorations, and had everything settled for my first night of rest. I got into bed and closed my eyes. I always sleep face up and something in my head told me, "The picture above you is going to fall and if you are face up you could be severely hurt." Now, you might be thinking a small picture isn't exactly going to hurt a person, but this was a fairly large picture with glass in it. I turned on my side and within 20 seconds the picture came crashing down on my head. The glass shattered everywhere into a million pieces on my head and all over my bed. I remember being so freaked out I could hardly move. If I wouldn't have listened to my head telling me to roll over, I would have been badly hurt. After about five minutes of laying perfectly still, I got up to look at the wall. I've hung that picture many times before and know exactly how to hang a picture. Besides, it had the hanging wire on the back and it was held up with three sturdy nails. When I got up to look at the wall, the nails were gone. All three of them. The holes where the nails were, were in perfect condition - no sign of stripping or damaged dry wall where the weight of the picture could have made the nails fall out. I cleaned up the entire area looking for the nails and picking up glass, but I never found the nails. All three nails mysteriously vanished without a trace. Even when I moved from that apartment, I still could not find the nails. It almost seemed like the picture was pulled off the wall and smashed over my head; perhaps as a warning? The next morning I called my mom and she said that I willed it to happen by thinking about it. Many other strange things happened in this apartment and luckily I only stayed for one year.

Three years ago in my third apartment (which happened to be at the same property as the first apartment, only a different floorplan) again, I moved into an apartment that had been abandoned for several years because of repairs that needed to be done. The second night there, the ceiling fan fell out of the ceiling and landed on my bed, two minutes before I was suppose to get into it. I blew that off, but then something even more scary happened. I have a very old antique jewelry box that plays the Godfather theme when you wind it up. Not only do you have to wind it up, but you have to open the two doors and pull out the bottom drawer to get the jewelry box to play. When you pull out the bottom drawer it sets a metal wire off that makes the box play the song. About 2 a.m. one night, the jewelry box started playing! Of course I suddenly woke up in that state of panic and fear where my heart is beating wildly and I can't move a muscle. I just knew there was some thing there playing with my jewelry box. I quickly got up and made the box stop playing. I then put it in my sock drawer and shut the drawer. I hadn't wound that jewelry box up in years or open it up for anything. My family just laughs at me when I tell them this stuff.

Again, these are only a few physical things that have happened to me, but I also know things before they happen. I try to not let it happen as much as I can, but sometimes it just pops into my head. Is it intuition? Or am I willing it to happen? I don't know. As I sit here I'm trying to pick out which incidence to tell you about, but there are so many. Just yesterday I was at a restaurant with my sister and the waiter brought our bill not separated. We both pull out our credit cards and tell the waiter which credit card is mine and which credit card is hers. My tab was half as much as my sister's was. Before he even came back I told my sister that I know he got it backwards and charged her for mine and me for hers, and that she needed to go ahead and pull some cash out to pay me back. Of course, I said the last part with a smile on my face. Sure enough, when the waiter came out he got the charges backwards. My sister told him and when he apologized I told him, "it's alright, I knew you did that.". You might think this is no big deal, but other things ten times more explainable than this has popped into my head before. Sometimes they warn me, and some times they are just informing me.

The truth is, I don't know if I want to live with them anymore. Now when I think about something, I'm scared it's going to happen. I don't like it anymore.
