Most tarot readers and psychics have a few creepy stories up their sleeves and Halloween is the perfect time to roll them out. This is my true story of how my intuition prevented me from making a really bad decision.
Years ago, when I was a young, free-spirited gal, I met a man at a gathering in a park. He was very attractive – well, attractive in my eyes. I like a specific type: slender, long hair, musical or artistically inclined, and intelligent. He was all those and he had one more bonus – he was absolutely hilarious!
The attraction was mutual and we began flirting pretty furiously. But although he fit my criteria and I am a rather brazen flirt, I began to pick up on a strange vibe that forced me to pull in my boundaries a bit. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I suddenly felt really uncomfortable and uneasy. (I was also painfully hung up on someone else at the time which I suppose turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it gave me an excuse to not take this flirtation too far.)
He ended up chasing me around the park a bit, asking for a date but I told him no and just kept it light and friendly. Although I was feeling creeped out by him, I didn’t feel a need to be rude. Plus, he was pretty cute.
We’d run into each other often and of course, we’d start flirting and joking around all over again. But still, that weird, uneasy feeling remained.
I knew I better listen to it. If my instincts keep sending a “bad” vibe, there is usually a pretty good reason behind it.
One day, I ran into him and he was distressed over his situation with a current girlfriend (he never had a shortage of female admirers although none lasted very long). She was booting him out of their apartment and he had nowhere to go. I consoled him and encouraged him not to worry. And then our conversation soon turned to humorous things as it always did and I found myself laughing so hard I doubled over.
Later I was chatting with a friend and we began talking about how funny this man was. I specifically said: “He should really be in the papers. Someone needs to interview that guy.” And I thought nothing more of it.
Until a week later when he was front-page news for the gruesome murder of the girlfriend. I won’t give you the gory details but let’s just put it this way – it involved dismemberment and more. I think back to the vibe he emitted and wonder what might have happened had I not paid attention to my instincts. Would I have been in danger? I’ll never know the answer to that question but I do know that my gut instincts were dead-on accurate in that situation. After this, I never questioned those feelings again.
