Premonitions

[cosmicenergy]

I've talked to others about this before, and no-one ever took me too seriously, but this looks like a good place full of open-minded people that would like to discuss such a topic.

I'm pretty sure that from a very young age (8 years, maybe younger) that I have been having premonitions. They started out really simple, knowing when I am going to see someone I haven't seen in a long time at a certain place at a certain time. But after time, I had a few scarey ones. For instance, when my brothers best friend passed away tragically at a young age in a car accident. When I heard of the accident the night before, for some reason I knew it was him. The odd thing is this is a person I hadn't seen for over 4 years and rarely thought of.

A couple of years ago, I discovered that my cousin has them too. I was skeptical at first until one day she was having chest pains and said someone close to us was having heart problems. The next day I found out my beloved dog was in congestive heart failure.

Has anyone else hear experienced this? I've read up on it a little bit, but don't really know much about them. Someone suggested that this 'gift' might run in the family since my cousin has them too.

I still get them, but not as much anymore.

Yes, being psychic, which you obviously are to a certain extent, does run in families. My Mother and my Grandmother and my Great-grandmother were all psychic, and so am I. I get premonitions too sometimes, but not really all that often. Only if something really rough is going to happen. Something will usually warn me then.

I've been getting a feeling lately, call it intuition maybe, but something Very Big is going to happen. I can't explain it really but it involves a kidnapping of a prominent person or one of their relatives and it will have Global implications. Let's hope I'm wrong....Q

Someone will kidnap Barry Mannilow. *YES YES YES !!!*
That will stop him...

Family abducted before £25m raid

The security manager's ordeal lasted about eight hours
More than £25m in cash has been stolen from a depot in Kent after its security manager and his family were kidnapped by armed robbers posing as police.
The raid was carried out in the early hours of Wednesday at Securitas, in Vale Road, Tonbridge, by at least six men who tied up 15 staff members.

The manager was abducted after being pulled over in his car by what he thought was an unmarked police vehicle.

The Bank of England confirmed the scale of the raid - one of Europe's biggest.

A Securitas spokesman said "a substantial amount of money running into millions of pounds" had been taken.

This was clearly a robbery that was planned in detail over time

Det Supt Paul Gladstone


What the cash depot does

He said the exact figure would only be known once a complete audit of the site had been carried out.

The kidnapping of the manager took place at about 1830 GMT on Tuesday.

He was in his silver Nissan Almera on the northbound carriageway of the A249, just past the Three Squirrels public house near Stockbury, when he was pulled over by what he believed was a police vehicle.

He was spoken to by a passenger wearing a high visibility jacket and a police-style hat.

Thinking they were genuine police officers, he got into the kidnappers' vehicle where he was handcuffed.

At the same time, the man's wife and young son were taken from their home in Herne Bay after two men claiming to be police officers said he had been involved in an accident.

UK HISTORY OF ROBBERIES
December 2004 - £26.4m stolen from Northern Bank headquarters in Belfast
February 2002 - Thieves take $6.5m (£3.4m) from a British Airways van at Heathrow Airport
November 1983 - £26m in gold bullion and diamonds stolen from the Brinks-Mat high security vault, also at Heathrow
1963 - Armed robbers steal £2.6m in the Great Train Robbery


Britain's biggest robberies

The depot manager was transferred to a white van, tied up at gunpoint, and then driven to another location where he was told to co-operate or his family would be in danger.

At about 0100 GMT on Wednesday, he was taken by car to the Securitas depot and the raid was carried out.

The balaclava-clad robbers, some of whom had handguns, left at about 0215 GMT.

The staff who had been tied up managed to raise the alarm about an hour later - police officers found them with the manager and his family.

They were all shocked but unhurt and police said they were now recovering from the ordeal.

Securitas spokesman Tony Benson said: "Members of our staff have had inflicted on them the most terrible and traumatic experience.

"The fact that no-one has been physically injured should not mask the brutality of this crime and we are all committed to working with the police to catch those responsible and see justice brought to bear."


1: Security depot manager abducted near Stockbury
2: The man's wife and young son are taken from their home in the Herne Bay area
3: Armed and masked robbers raid the depot in Tonbridge

Det Supt Paul Gladstone said: "This was a traumatic ordeal for the manager and his family and for all of the staff.

"This was clearly a robbery that was planned in detail over time.

"A very substantial sum of money running into millions of pounds has been stolen and we are determined to bring the robbers to justice."

Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the manager's silver Nissan, or a Volvo or similar vehicle meeting up with a white van.

They also want to trace a 7.5 tonne truck which was used in the robbery itself.

In December 2004 a £26.4m raid at the Northern Bank's Belfast headquarters became the biggest cash heist in UK history.

I've never seen myself as psychic. My mother is, although she doesn't have a clue how to deal with it or use it. Some time back, I started to get premonitions too.

Recently, I have kept getting the scenario that someone very close to me was going to die soon. And I just knew that once I move over to England this year, I will never see this person alive again. The feeling was very strong and real and I got what I could describe as "film sequences" in my head on this theme. That he was dead. Connected to these moments of insight was a tremendous angst and I would start to cry. This person is my best friend and we have known each other since I was 14. The thing is... I find it hard to pick up the phone and call him now. If he doesn't answer, I'll get worried. And if he does answer it will feel very strange to talk to him. Fortunately Debbie has been a big help for me in all this. So thanks a lot Debbie, for supporting me.

You are more than welcome, Bobin! Any time I can be of help, that is what I want to be.

Update: I met my friend two days ago. :-) It felt a bit different, having had those omens, but still GREAT to see him! I guess knowing these things will make me better at keeping in touch and being a good friend to him for as long as he has left.

You know, that is exactly what I would do in the given situation. We must think a little bit alike. Once I had a premonition that an acqaintance of mine was going to be shot in a robbery. He was a clerk at a local 7-11 store near my house. I felt it so strong, that I actually felt that I had to warn him. So after I thought about whether or not I should mention this premonition to him for a little while, I ended up going into the store while he was working and told him that I think he should be really careful, because I had a feeling that there was going to be a robbery there soon, and that he needed to be really careful. He responded by saying that he had been having the same feeling that I had, and was quitting the day after the day I warned him on because of it. So he somehow had felt a similar thing that I had, and was working on preventing it from happen as well. Mind you I have never talked to this man at all before the warning. I have no idea what was going on in his life. Maybe he had pissed the wrong people off, and he was worried about the consequences already? I don't know and never will. But I saw him a year or so later working at a gas station in a different part of time. So that made me feel better. Food for thought.
