As a woman, learning about your “female intuition” is like a rite of passage, and if trusted and used properly, it’s one of the most important superpowers we possess.
So, when Reddit useru/moonchildishhasked thequestion, “What are some of your crazy women’s intuition stories?” Inr/AskWomen, I knew it would be loaded with unreal accounts:
1.“I bolted straight up out of a dead sleep, ran downstairs, and found my daughter lying on the floor gasping for breath. I had no idea she was downstairs, but I was compelled to go there anyway.”
2.“I went out with friends many years ago and got home fairly late in a major city. As I was walking down the street toward my front door, there was a normal-looking man walking from the other end of the street. A shiver ran down my spine, and I automatically calculated that he would reach my door around the same time that I was unlocking it with my key.”
" So I sped up and look sharp to unlock my door and get in before he was further down the street . I made it deep down , sour around to push the doorway shut , and he was correct behind me hear to get inside . I slammed my body against the room access , and give thanks god for automatic locking . He banged on the door and jerk on the doorhandle for a few mo before going out . "

3.“My boyfriend at the time left to go somewhere. A few hours passed, and I got a bad feeling. I called his phone several times, and no answer. I called his mom, and she said he got into a car accident (he was hit by an intoxicated driver), and the car was hit hard enough to push it onto the sidewalk when he was in the far left lane. Luckily he came out with minor injuries.”
4.“I was chatting with friends at the side of the road in a shopping area. While chatting, I put my arm out and managed to catch a 3-year-old from running out onto the road. I didn’t even know the kid was running, as I had my back to them.”

5.“I was climbing into bed one summer night at 1 a.m. when I got the strongest feeling that I should take our potty-training puppy out one last time. Despite having just taken melatonin, I gathered all four dogs to go out. We walked out of the garage, and I tossed their balls in the yard for them to chase a few times. Just as I decided to call them all in, I heard a weird popping noise in the garage. We lived in Kansas at the time, so I thought a cicada had gotten caught in the bug zapper. I didn’t see anything when I inspected it, though, and I could still hear the popping sound.”
6.“I had already been broken up and in no contact with a toxic ex for a few months when this happened. One day while I was out with my sister, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, like actually nauseous. I could tell something was wrong, but I couldn’t explain why.”
" 10 hour after , I get a mountain chain of emails from my ex beg for me back . I had jam him on everything , but somehow he found another personal electronic mail of mine . That ’s when I realized that feeling in my stomach was fear and disgust . Disgust that I allowed him to be in my life story for so long without reward . "

7.“My ex-partner of 10 years had a two-year affair, which resulted in the end of our relationship. During that time, I had a dream he got someone else pregnant, which just happened to coincide with the day heactuallyfound out he’d gotten someone else pregnant…”
8.“I never kill insects in my home, and I live in the UK, where we don’t have anything venomous. One day, I saw a medium-sized black/brown spider on the wall, and the strongest, most primal instinct kicked in and told me to kill it immediately. Looking at it made my blood run cold.”
" I straight off sent it to its maker with my slider , and honestly , I cried with guilt . I inspected its physical structure and seek it up … it was a venomous wanderer from Africa ; it had belike hitchhiked over on some spell fruit . "

9.“I was in the dressing room with my 16-year-old daughter while she was trying on bras. I saw a mole on her side and immediately was afraid of it. It didn’t look any different than the other moles or freckles on her body, but I immediately made her an appointment at the dermatologist and insisted they cut it off her and test it. It was precancerous. On a 16-year-old who has never had an issue before or after. Something about that specific mole, and I just knew.”
10.“I was driving on a tree-lined, curvy country road when I had a very strong feeling to stop my car. Thankfully I did, because I would have been hit by a truck as it rounded a curve and went over the center line.”

11.“Once, I was home alone at my mom’s house during summer break in high school. A man I didn’t know came and knocked on the door. I answered, thinking he might be a delivery person or something. He said he lived down the street and knew my mom. He said he knew I was heading to college in the fall, and he had some furniture I could have if I wanted to take a look. Specifically, a futon that I should come try out.”
12.“I work at a hospital. There was a respiratory therapist I did not like. I had no real reason not to like him, but I would do everything to avoid talking to him, and I got weird vibes when he spoke to patients and families. A few months later, I found out he murdered a woman in his house and was found rolling her body up in a rug.”

13.“One time I was leaving my grandmother’s house and was waving goodbye, and I distinctly thought, ‘This is the last time I’ll ever see her.’ My grandmother was not sick and was independent, active, and had no issues — I don’t know why I thought that, and I didn’t tell anyone about it because it felt like a horrible thing to think. But it was the last time I ever saw her. A week later, she cut herself while gardening, and it wasn’t treated right. She got sepsis and died super quick from it.”
14.“In my early 20s I lived in a small inner-city apartment. My neighbor was the same age, and we hung out a lot. We both usually took a cab to work, and sometimes we’d share. She was a reporter covering criminal court, and I worked in an office building on the same block. There was a taxi driver who kept responding to our calls. Outwardly nice and charming, my neighbor thought he was cool, but something seemed off to me.”
" One Saturday night I was going out late , and his cab register up . Something say me not to get in the car , so I tell him I ’d changed my mind and promise a different company . A few days later , my neighbour come home and banged my threshold down to secernate me she ’d hear him in judicature . He ’d been arrested for multiple colza of women who ’d been his customers . He raped a woman the same nighttime I ’d decided not to get in his cabriolet . "

And finally, here’s a story that has definitely left me speechless:
15.“I was about 15 and had just gotten a new babysitting gig for a lovely little 5-year-old girl in my neighborhood. I met the mom and babysat the kid once, but I remember feeling something really uncanny about their home. It was kind of sterile; there was something that gave me bad vibes, but I don’t remember exactly why. I told my mom I didn’t want to go back, and she was cool with that.”
