Have you ever walked down the street at night and kept glancing over your shoulder, as if something were following you? That’s your survival instinct kicking in. It may sometimes be unrealistic, but it’s your brain’s way of keeping you alert.
Sometimes, though, it goes beyond that. You might not even be in a dangerous place, yet your gut tells you something isn’t quite right. That’s when you listen — or at least, when you should. The people in today’s story can attest to that. They shared the times their gut instinct told them to leave, and they listened. Only later did they find out why, so here’s what they had to say.

My boyfriend came to visit me in college, and we rented a cheap hotel room so we wouldn't bother my roommate for the weekend. We got in, and i had just the most overwhelming sense of dread and impending doom. Could not relax. Something in me said we were not safe there. After about 10 minutes, I don't remember which of us said it, but one of us was like "hey does something feel extremely off about this?" And we were both like oh thank GOD you feel the same. We packed our stuff back up so fast and I was literally shaking. I have strong intuition and I was scared out of my mind but couldn't tell you exactly why.

New Years Eve, Catholic Church celebration. Everyone is drunk , and me realizing, I would be driving home with drunks in the road. I got a very unsettling feeling, and we left.

A block off of the main tourist street in some Mexican beach town. Asked around for things that were probably best left alone. Sudden, drastic vibe shift. Stood up and bounced mid sentence.
