Things that spook you/ you can do that are spooky.

[Yorkshire pud]

Not necessarily phobias as such; but are there certain things you can't do; such as open a certain shed door because you just know there's one big spider hanging behind the door when you open it? Ordinarily you're not scared of spiders, it's just context.


Are you able to do things that spook others? Swallow swords, or turn your eyes inside out..or can you read people from afar? Know what they're doing but they're not in sight; you just know.

I crack my knuckles a lot. People hate that. If they make a fuss, I start cracking my toes.
Sometimes this is not enough... luckily my nose cracks too

Predicting plane crashes.  I have dreams where I see plane crashes.  I don't have them all the time, but I've had at least five very specific dreams where the crashes happened within 24 hours. 

When it was the ValueJet that crashed in the Everglades, I had a dream the night before about a blue and white smaller jet that had crashed into a swamp.  I didn't recognize the airline.  I was from Alaska, and I'd never heard of Valuejet or seen one of their planes.  I mentioned the dream to a few people and dismissed it.  Later in the day, I heard about the crash.

I had another dream where I saw a small red and white Cessna collide with a jet on the ground.  I got up and went to work at the hospital.  I told my coworker about my dream, and he kind of brushed it off as just a dream. Since this was a dialysis unit, we had TVs at each patient's station.  We were several hours into our shift when CNN broke in with a news alert.  Sure enough, it was about a red and white Cessna that had just collided with a jet on the runway.  My coworker about had a stroke when he saw this.  I was just like, "I told you." 

I had the same thing happen with several military helicopter crashes as well. My family and friends used to call me before they had to fly and see if I'd had a dream.  In one of these incidents, I had a dream about a crash and the flight had originated in Texas.  The next day, the crash happened, but they were saying the flight had originated in Florida, so I thought it was just a coincidence.  Later the next day, it came out that the flight crew had started of in Texas and were diverted to handle this flight that had crashed.  I think the level of specificity I've experienced in these dreams rule out coincidence, but who knows?

I've also had the same experience with several earthquakes.  I had one particularly vivid dream about an earthquake in my hometown.  It wasn't a huge quake or anything, but it was very specific that it was Anchorage.  I called my sister who was still living there and asked if they'd had one over the past few hours, and she said no and that it was probably just a dream.  I was sicker than a dog that day with a migraine that wouldn't stop, so I went to lay down.  I got a call a few hours later, and it was my sister screaming, "It just happened!"  I said, "What?"  And she said, "The earthquake just happened!"  So that was kind of interesting. I seem to have peaked in the mid-to-late '90s with these dreams.  I still have one occasionally, but nowhere nearly as often as I did back then.

I do think it runs in the family a bit.  I know my grandma, when she was 13, woke everyone up in the middle of the night and told them her mom was going to die that night.  No one believed her and told her to go back to bed.  She was right.  She died later on that night.
