Have you ever sensed an unshakable feeling that something terrible was about to unfold? That vague, bone‑deep intuition that something monumental—good or bad—will change lives forever? Those eerie hunches are the heart of our 10 premonitions predictions collection, where we dive into real‑world cases that proved the impossible was, in fact, possible.
10 Premonitions Predictions Overview
10 “You Were Right About That Too”
Suzan Saxman, a well‑known yet hesitant psychic from Woodstock, New York, has been haunted by terrifying visions of death and disaster since childhood. Those early glimpses pushed her to ignore the gift, but eventually she embraced her role as a psychic and even penned a memoir titled The Reluctant Psychic.
Through her practice, Suzan has recorded several striking premonitions while consulting clients. One of the most unsettling involved a man embroiled in a divorce who dismissed the notion that his wife would truly follow through with the split.
Suzan told him that the future held no courtroom drama, no bitter fighting, and that he would ultimately gain sole custody of his daughter within seven years.
The very next week, the man’s wife stormed into Suzan’s office, visibly upset. She disclosed that her husband had relayed the psychic’s warning to her, and she had mocked him, insisting the divorce would proceed without hindrance. A few days later, the husband and his friend boarded a small business‑flight plane that tragically crashed, killing both men.
Seven years later, the widow returned to Suzan, this time to reveal that her daughter had succumbed to leukemia. Through tears she whispered, “You were right about that too. He has sole custody now.”
9 A Sense Of Foreboding
When seven‑year‑old Kathleen Middleton watched her mother, Annie, fry breakfast one morning, a fried egg inexplicably floated out of the pan and rose toward the ceiling. Kathleen giggled, but Annie’s uneasy glance turned the episode into a bad omen. Seeking answers, Annie consulted a fortune‑teller who warned that the levitating egg signified imminent death. Within weeks, one of Annie’s closest friends passed away.
This bewildering episode was Kathleen’s first brush with the unexplainable. She soon discovered she suffered a headache before every earthquake and began receiving visions of names and numbers that seemed to foreshadow events.
On the morning of October 21, 1966, now 52, Kathleen awoke choking and gasping for air. A crushing sense of doom pressed against her walls, making her bedroom feel like a cage. Unable to retreat into sleep, she rose and confided in the lodger living with her, describing the oppressive feeling.
At eight o’clock they shared tea, and Kathleen fought to suppress the growing dread. Exactly one hour later, a massive heap of coal waste, destabilized by heavy rain, surged down a steep slope, sweeping into the Aberfan valley below and crushing Pantglas Junior School.
The catastrophe claimed 144 lives, including 116 children, plunging South Wales into profound mourning.
8 Losing Their Heads
During an elegant salon dinner in Paris in 1788, French author and occultist Jacques Cazotte boldly foretold that King Louis XVI would meet his demise during the looming revolution. He also warned that many aristocrats present that evening would face beheading, poisoning, or suicide.
The French Revolution erupted in May 1789, and Cazotte’s grim predictions unfolded one by one. Noble families were executed by guillotine, and four years later, Louis XVI himself was beheaded before a massive Parisian crowd. Ironically, Cazotte never witnessed his own prediction; he was guillotined a year earlier after being branded a royalist.
7 A Devastating Plague
Born in 1864 in Potchefstroom, South Africa, Nicolaas Pieter Johannes Janse van Rensburg—better known as Siener Van Rensburg—spent his life immersed in scripture, reportedly never reading anything beyond the Bible. Over his years, he amassed more than 700 recorded visions.
During the Boer War, Van Rensburg became a trusted companion of General Koos de la Rey, who regarded him as a divine prophet. Though conscripted, Van Rensburg never bore arms or fired a shot; instead, his prophetic insights helped comrades evade danger and outwit the enemy.
In early 1918, Van Rensburg experienced a vivid vision of a cataclysmic “plague” that would spare no nation, South Africa included. That September, the Spanish Flu swept across South Africa, claiming roughly 140,000 lives in just seven weeks. Worldwide, the pandemic is estimated to have killed 40 million people.
6 “I Did It Anyway”
Mike Fridley felt an intense, gut‑wrenching premonition as he contemplated an upcoming trip with his friend Graham Wood in November 1999. It was the first time he’d ever sensed such a powerful urge to abort the journey, yet he silenced the warning and pressed on.
The decision proved disastrous. Mid‑flight, Wood’s small plane suffered an engine seizure, sending both men spiraling into the Everglades.
Fridley managed to pull Wood onto the wing, shielding him from the pooling gasoline. However, Wood suffered a broken back while Fridley endured a broken ankle and sternum. Despite excruciating pain, Fridley waded through chest‑high water for roughly 1,000 feet until he reached a fishing camp and found drinkable water.
Unable to assist Wood further due to his injuries, Fridley spent the night stranded. The following day, the sound of helicopter rotors drew a pilot’s attention, leading to his rescue. Tragically, when rescuers arrived at the wreckage, Wood was already dead.
5 Right On The Number
In 1981, a clairvoyant reached out to British Rail, warning depot staff of a recurring vision involving a fatal train collision. In her dream, a blue‑painted engine hauling oil tankers crashed catastrophically, and the train bore the number 47216.
Rail managers, aware of the clairvoyant’s previous assistance to police, took the warning seriously. They petitioned to have the train’s number altered, settling on 47299.
Two years later, in December 1983, the 47299 oil‑laden train collided with a diesel multiple unit at Wrawby Junction. One passenger perished, and investigators concluded a blend of equipment failure and human error caused the accident.
Post‑incident, the crash was labeled an “amazing coincidence.”
4 A Feeling Of Dread
On the afternoon of March 17, 1999, Carol Deemer was seized by an unsettling sensation that something terrible was unfolding. She voiced this dread to her husband James when he arrived home, noting that their 17‑year‑old daughter, Jennifer, hadn’t yet returned and she hadn’t received the usual phone call.
As James listened, a fleeting image of a car accident flashed through his mind.
Shortly after, the family learned that Jennifer, while driving home from school, had been startled when a passenger tossed a pizza box out the window. The box struck the windshield, forcing her to swerve into oncoming traffic. Her vehicle collided head‑on with another car, killing Jennifer instantly; four passengers in her car were injured, as were two occupants of the other vehicle.
3 Saved From A Tragic Fate
In late August 2013, 11‑year‑old Marie Elias felt an unrelenting urge that something dreadful would happen if she fell asleep. Determined to stay awake on a Saturday night, she hoped to confront whatever lay ahead.
At 1:30 a.m., a fire erupted inside the house she shared with her parents and 17 other relatives. While battling drowsiness, Marie detected a burning odor emanating from the nearest wall. She instantly woke her parents, and the entire household escaped unharmed.
2 “It’s An Experience You Can’t Explain”
In 1984, Viv Donovan experienced a disquieting dream while staying in a modest apartment behind her parents’ home. In the dream, she sat up in bed, arms outstretched, surrounded by her entire family—except for anyone on her left side.
When she recounted the dream, her father revealed that he, too, had dreamed of looking at Viv seated up in bed, with family encircling her. The coincidence unsettled both Viv and her parents, but the memory faded until a month later.
That month, Viv suffered a burst ovarian cyst that led to appendicitis. Doctors intervened just in time; had she arrived even twenty minutes later, she might have died. Exactly one month after the dream, Viv found herself perched up in a hospital bed, arms outstretched as before, with her family gathered around—again, none on her left.
This wasn’t Viv’s first brush with precognition. At nine, she awoke one night sensing her father was in trouble. She looked out the back door, saw him battling a severe asthma attack, and promptly called an ambulance, saving his life.
1 Thirteen Tears
Seventeen‑year‑old Rachel Scott was a devout Christian who never shied away from living her faith at school. Her steadfast belief made her a target for bullying, yet she kept a diary chronicling her struggles and prayers for divine help.
Rachel attended Columbine High School and became the first victim of the 1999 massacre perpetrated by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Rumors swirled that her faith played a role: a survivor claimed Klebold turned back after seeing Rachel still alive, asked, “Do you still believe in your God?” When she whispered, “You know I do,” he allegedly shot her in the head and fled.
Prior to the tragedy, Rachel sketched a haunting image in her diary: a pair of eyes from which thirteen tears streamed down to a rose, transforming into drops of blood. Coincidentally, thirteen people perished that day.
Months after her death, a stranger named Frank Amedia contacted Rachel’s father, recounting a dream about Rachel’s eyes shedding thirteen tears that turned into water. The father was bewildered until he examined Rachel’s backpack, which contained two journals. The most recent entry featured the very drawing described in Amedia’s dream.
