This isn't a ghost story, just some strange things that have happened to me. When I was about 16, I lived with my mother and two sisters in Hickory, NC. Hickory itself is in the foothills and we lived up in the mountains about 15 minutes from the City, if you can call it a City. My sister used to love taking the mountain roads to and from Hickory as fast as she possibly could, making you feel as if you were on a roller coaster that never seemed to end. One day, as we were going home from my mother's work and my sister was driving crazy as usual, I shut my eyes and I could see police cars in my mind. The image came and went pretty quickly, but it made quite an impression on me. I immediately made my sister slow down and put on her seatbelt, although she thought I was nuts. Sure enough, we went about 2 more miles and there were 2 policemen on the side of the road. Needless to say, my sister freaked. There was no way I could have known they were there. That was the only time I actually saw something in my mind, or whatever you want to call it, but there have been other incidents. Every now and then I will get a feeling of dread just come over me, for no apparent reason. It normally lasts a day or two, almost like I am in a depression, and I will just know that something bad is going to happen. The weird thing is, something bad always does happen. I can't really tell you what is going to happen, but something does. The last time it happened, my grandfather had a heart attack and almost died. Anyway, that's my story. I don't really know why it happens to me, but it does. If you have had similar experiences, or can shed some light on mine, please e-mail me.
