I don't think I have shared this story with too many people. But it was definitely weird. I was at my grandfather's house as a kid. And I was snooping around the house. I think I was about 9 or 10 at the time. And under my grandfather's dresser, I found this large caliber gun. I wasn't sure if it was real or not. I was about nine or ten, as I said. It seemed to have large bullets in it, I noticed. But the handle was made out of this cheap, white plastic, that made it look like a toy. It must be a toy, I concluded. And why would my grandfather just leave it under the dresser too, I thought? (My grandfather was a very nice grandfather, and a good person too, BTW.) So I got this idea. As a joke, I was going to go to the kitchen where my mother was preparing food, and point it at her and pull the trigger. As I said, I was sure it was just a toy. But it was weird. This strange feeling came over me, out of nowhere. It felt very artificial for some reason. I still remember. But definitely a feeling of dread. There was no reason why I should have felt that way at the time. As I said, I was sure it was just a toy. But I thought, this must be some kind of psychic warning. They were talking about that kind of thing in the news all the time, clairvoyance and psychic warning. What else could it be? So instead of playing the prank, I decide to take it to the kitchen, to show my mother what I had found. It's kind of ironic in another way that it turned out the way it did that day. One of my uncles was a horrible abuser. I rarely had that much contact with him anyways as a kid. So it didn't matter. But if anything happened to my mother, my father might have ended up a single parent. And long-story-short, he probably would have had a nervous breakdown, from all the stress and new responsibility as a single father (he was Bi-polar, BTW). And, I might have ended up in the house with that horrible abuser. Yeah, there were lot of close calls like the one described above. Probably more than I can count. And probably some I don't even know that happened now.
It's the sort of thing that you can't rely prove or disprove. Maybe there were some cues, like the weight of the gun, etc., that you picked up on an intuitive level. Whether it was intuition, psychic powers, or something else, I'm glad you didn't shoot your mom. What happened when you showed her the gun btw?
