"Guy Behind Me Basically Evaporated": 38 Times People's Gut Instinct Saved Their Lives

I left Utah working a seasonal job. I kept feeling the need to see a doctor URGENTLY. I got home & my iron was so low I needed an emergency blood transfusion. Life threatening low & I was pregnant btw.

Me and my friend (both males) were walking my other friend (female) to her car after a night out through a poorly lit residential area and as we were walking I noticed someone was behind us so I told the to cross the street with me to see if he would follow and he did.. We then cross the street a second time to get to my friends car and all 3 of us stop and look at the guy he then stops and sees me and my other male friend arent leaving her alone so he turna and immediately walks down a dark alley way and hops a fence behind a house.. Im 100% certain he was waiting for her to be left alone by us

Trailer hitch malfunctioned and we swung off the road flipping multiple times. My dads airbag didn’t deploy. He was driving. He didn't survive. My mom brother and I all walked away wo a scratch.

I was hit with my 2 week old baby by a lady driving 3x the legal limit. my baby was born 2 weeks early. if I was still pregnant it would have taken us both. baby slept thru the entire accident. the lady didnt survive

went "ghost hunting" in an abandoned house at 16. turns out there were squatters living there and when they heard us inside, ran outside, barred the doors and lit the house on fire. broke a window on the second floor and jumped into some bushes.

Decided on a whim to drive home from college at around midnight. Didn’t tell a soul. It’s a 5+ hour drive. It was the 90’s so no cell phones-no open gas stations. Ran out of gas around 4 AM in nowhere South Georgia. A car with FIVE men pulled up. I willingly got in the car. They were kind and took me to get gas and helped me. But this could easily have been my demise and NO ONE would’ve ever known what happened to me.

When I was in 6th grade I made a new friend and I noticed he was really sad all the time. So he invited me to his house after school one day to play video games. So I thought it was just me and him at his house but then his dad walked out of a home office. He was like really excited to meet me and told me his son had told him I play guitar really well. This man came over and sat right next to me on the couch and immediately started giving me a back massage. I had never met him before. I didn’t even know his name. He said that I should go in his office with him and play guitar for him. In that moment I felt something I had never experienced before I felt like a voice inside me or something say “get up go home immediately and never come here again” I instantly jumped up and said I have to go I forgot something and ran home and never talked to that friend again. Now as an adult I completely understand but at the time was just following that feeling to run.

My mom and her bf got in a fight one night, he chopped the phone cord on the wall with an axe when she tried to call for help. We ended up running away and hiding in a dark barn while he looked for us. I’ll never forget seeing the flashlight move on the barn wall in front of us while my mom held her hand over my mouth

I was at a red light that turned green. My friend kept telling me its green and cars started honking at me, but something in my gut said to wait. About 5 seconds after the light turned green a semi came speeding through the intersection due to the brakes not working.

I survived Hurricane Andrew. Imagine the movie scene in Poltergeist with everything being sucked into the TV but it’s multiple tornadoes ripping your house apart for hours.

Currently dealing with a neurological disorder/auto immune disorder at 24 that’s eating away at my muscles, nerves, tendons, etc. still in the process of getting diagnosed but I’m a fighter.

Had an ectopic pregnancy rupture(but didn’t know it yet. If you know you know, this is fatal. Waited until the next day in doubled over pain to see a doctor. They sent me on my way with antibiotics for what they thought was an infection. On the way out they said ‘hold on, our ultrasound tech JUST got here, go see her.’ She looked at my ultrasound horrified and I was having emergency surgery within the hour.

New Orleans during Katrina.

two men tried to abduct my sister and I - we ran thru parking garages and climbed fences in heels downtown til we found a cop who we ran to out of breath and disoriented -he said "I don't see anyone chasing you"

I was swimming at a beach with no life guards in Maui. I went out too far (im an excellent swimmer) I treaded water for like 45 minutes trying to get back to shore I had to use everything I had to get back

A man impersonating a police officer tried to get me in the back of his car

Got lost on a mountain in Colorado snowmobiling in white out conditions with no cell reception

Not THAT crazy but I was bitten by a baby copperhead snake which is poisonous and since it was a baby it gave me all its venom and so I had to be hospitalized for two days
