September 11 Prediction
by Mark Vander Lugt

Although many people claim that people who have had premonitions about 9/11 are making it up, those of us who have had premonitions KNOW what we experienced and KNOW it was not made up. Nobody will ever convince me that I made this up because I know what I experienced.

That being said.... I used to often do my laundry on Monday evenings after work as a means of not cluttering my weekend with chores. On September 10, 2001, around 9:00 p.m. (California time), I was walking across the parking lot of the apartment complex where I lived. I was returning to my apartment with a laundry basket full of clothes, when I was suddenly overcome with a definite feeling something was about to happen. Occasionally I have had psychic experiences. As a result of those experiences, I have learned to pay more attention to them than I used to. Also, my aunt was psychic and she used to encourage me to trust my psychic sense.

The feeling I had on 9/10/2001 was so intense that I immediately recognized it as one of those feelings that deserved my attention. It literally stopped me in my tracks. I stood there and gathered it in. As I did so, I felt a dark, ominous and foreboding feeling. I sensed something very bad was about to happen. I said to myself, "An earth-shattering event is about to occur. It will make world headline news. One man will be behind it, but he will have the help of others."

It sounds crazy, I know, but those are the words I uttered to myself. Anyone who is truly psychic will tell you that there is no such thing as 100% accuracy, and I myself have had occasions where I thought I had had some kind of psychic impression, but it turned out to be completely wrong. So I reminded myself of this and tried to shake off the heavy feeling I was having. I walked to and entered my apartment and started folding laundry when the feeling hit me a second time. It was a very definite feeling and I was spooked.

The next morning we all know what happened. I was so upset about the whole thing that it wasn't until several weeks later that I remembered having that strange feeling. I remembered it was a Monday because it was laundry night. That's when I realized I had had a premonition about the World Trade Center because that happened on a Tuesday. That's also when I realized the meaning of what I said: "One man will be behind it, but he will have the help of others". (Bin Laden and the 19 terrorists onboard the planes.)

If anybody wants to say this is all made up or that I'm confused or crazy or whatever, I simply do not care. I know what I know. I know what I experienced, and nobody can take that away from me.
