Signs And Premonitions Of Death

Posted on January 6, 2009

I was seven years old the first time I saw a figure hovering outside my window.  I couldn’t see its face, it had a black cloak on. It came through the window and touched my foot.  Two days later my coach had an accident and died.

A few years later I was sent to visit my dad and I saw a figure in my bed room staring at me.  It stayed there for a long time.  When I tried to yell nothing came out, but it never touched me.  After standing in the middle of my bedroom it finally disappeared.  The next day my mother got into a motorcycle accident and died twice before she was revived.  My dad flew me back to her and with the help of my grandmother she was back to normal in no time. From then on I started to be more aware of my surroundings and the signs that were left to me. 

While visiting my great grandmother, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw her walking across the dinning room telling me something.  She was an Indian and had a very deep accent so I couldn’t understand what she said.  I thought it was weird to see her walking cause at the time she was bed ridden and there were nurses that stayed with her round the clock.  I got up and followed her to the kitchen.  She was making soup.  I figured I must have been dreaming so I went back to bed.

The room was dark and had a lot of shadows,  one of which was familiar to me.  The figure came right out and grabbed my leg.  It startled me and I screamed.  One of the nurses ran in to comfort me.  Less than a week later she passed in her sleep.

I told my mother about the dream I had. My grandmother overheard the conversation and told me that in the old days they would make soup at midnight the day they buried their loved ones. My grandmother started asking me questions.  I told her about that night and she told me I had the gift and that I should learn how to use it.

A few years later, after I had my first son, my husband went out of town on a business trip.  That evening after I put him down to sleep I also went to bed.  Sometime during the night the room turned cold and I woke up.  The figure was standing over me staring at me.  I couldn’t move.  It bent down to touch me but I moved.  I jumped up out of bed and ran to my sons room.  I held him the rest of the night. The next morning I called my mother and told her about it.  Two hours later they found my uncle at the bottom of the stairs in his apartment.  He had a stroke but lived.

While I was pregnant with my second son, I was also taking some college courses at night.  I was walking down the hall way after one of my classes and I heard a voice calling from the end of the hall way.  No one was there. I suddenly had a premonition.  It was about my mother. She was in the hospital.  I thought I was just thinking about the first time she was there  and I thought that I was just remembering.

When I got home my husband told me that she was rushed to the hospital.  At the time I didn’t know it but she had been suffering from a liver disease,  her liver was failing.  The next day she had a liver transplant.  I slept in the hospital waiting room and the figure appeared to me this time in a dream.  He spoke and said it was not time and that he will not take her tonight.  I woke up and ran to her.  The liver she got was rejecting.  She was getting worse. They put her on a machine and the next morning they were going to turn the machines off.  I was her only voice and I told them to wait.  The next day she was better.  She had a bad reaction to the medicine and they tried something else.

Four years later I was driving to her house and I was on my cell phone talking to her and we were making plans.  I looked down at my clock radio on my car and it said 6:04.  I knew it was wrong.  I was on the phone with my mom and she told me that it was a little after 12.  I told her to write that time down for me.   Two months later she died of complications of the liver.  She was pronounced dead at 6:04 am.

I don’t ever ignore the signs.  I am more in tone with them.  I am able to talk to my mother.  When something comes up like if I cant find something I will simply ask her and she directs me right to it.  I have seen the figure three times since my mother passed away.  Once when my grandfather died, once when my aunt had a heart attack and just last year when my husbands grandmother died.  When I have a premonition or “day dream” I pay very close attention.

    I believe in premonitions, it gives me the chill when I think of being alone and silent…

  2. Samm says:

    I have something I can’t explain but when I see someone without thinking I will say “oh his/her family going to miss him/her so much” Or I see in their eyes I see no future for them. They either get killed within months. Should I say something or leave as is.

    Glad you have the ability to help others.

    • Berry says:

      Well, i think you should try to help. I dont have premonitions like you, but i see ghosts and they lead me to things. I try to remember what they looked like, and the details and i figure things out like how im in a house where some girl mysteriously died. So use your gifts and they’ll take you on a scary adventure. I sound crazy right? But i would just try to help

    WOW!!! it finallay feels good to hear about someone psysic besides my mom and my grandma. The first time i had a preminition, it freaked me out too. (I was 7 or 8 at the time, now im 12) the very first few times, they were a dream. now, i think of completely random things and and they come true. this has been going on for so long, that i know that that is going to happen. i have never had an experience like yours, but i hope to some day.

  4. STEPHANIE says:

    I HAD A VISION OF A DARK GOWN WITH A HOOD OF THE FACE
    THE FACE WAS DARK…AROUND 5FT TALL STANDING OVER MY GRANDFATHER
    AS I WOKE I TOLD MY MOTHER WHAT I HAD VISIONED AND SHE IGNORED ME.
    MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY THAT DAY.

  5. haley says:

  6. mark says:

    ah, quite the story, very intruiging as well.

  7. Carly says:

    this gift is special but i would hate to have it because i would hate seeing someone die or knowin someone was about to die. casue that would have made me feel like i could have prevented it. you are special and be sure to still pay attention. God Bless…

  8. Sarah says:

    Wow Nikki….you have some gift. Sounds like it was pretty scary at first. Good luck learning to know the signs, I know these things can be very complicated. You’re a special person with a special gift…always know that.

  9. tatiana says:

  10. vin says:

    as i was reading everyones stories tears was filling in my eyes because i understand wat every1 is going through because its happening 2 me every day since the age of 4.
    i always visioned that i would have a baby boy an he would die and it came thru august 2005 my son died frm a rare heart condition.
    now i keep seeing the father of my children dying by getting shot when he goes jamaica what shall i do?
    i dont understand why it’s happening to me.

    • Berry says:

      Dear Vin,
      Just look out. If the father is ever going to go to Jamaica. Watch out. I’m not trying to scare you, but I really think it can happen.
      <3 Berry
      P.S Just relax until you absolutely know.

  11. DelVita says:

    Wow! That would be so creepy to me…but I have to say this: I run from my death every day, and I wonder what would happen if I stopped running on any given day. I know everyone must go at some point, but I do not want to go before my time. It is one thing to foresee others death, but what if you daily foresee your own???

  12. Nabila says:

    WOW DAT IS REALLY INTERESTING U HAVE A REAL GIFT AND I WISH I COULD HAVE A GIFT LIK U BUT DA FIGURE SEEMS LIK A REAPER TO ME

That morning my sister inlaw called me and told me my mother died that morning.

  15. Joseph says:

    ive never had an experience like that, eventhough i dream at times of people and even me in deaths game……
    just dont ignore those signs and premonition and pay close attention to them…god bless you!!!

  16. T says:

    I was laying down one night and my grandmothers face appeared to me and her eyes were red. She died two days later, did that mean anything?

  17. Lollie says:

    One night I was sleeping in bed. At around 3 pm I woke up and saw a dark cloaked figure standing in the corner of my room. I thought that it was my son coming home from College for his Birthday. I sat up and said to him “You came home after all, come and give me a hug”. The figure walked over to my side of the bed and we reached toward each other to hug. Just then a cousin of mine who died 24 years before came down from the ceiling above me and very tightly gripped my hands. Holding on to them so tightly that I could not let go. He was dressed in white and surrounded by a white light. I then thought that the “figure” that I had mistaken for my son was a robber and screamed loudly at the top of my lungs so that the neighbors and my husband would awaken and call the police. Immediately the figure backed away and disappeared. My husband turned on the lights and you could hear the neighbors stirring about. He then saw me screaming and holding my hands upward in the air. Then my cousin in white ascended into the ceiling and then I turned and showed my husband my hands. They were slightly burned and remained that way along with slight peeling for several weeks. This year twice while sleeping I have awoken to see an extremely large “spider like” figure running from the foot of my bed as if having been prevented from touching me when my husband suddenly comes into the room to awaken me. This happened twice in 1 month and after the 2nd time the following week my brother died.

  18. LN says:

    I recently started having these premonitions, or rather really strong feelings that I will die young, as in quite soon. Apart from just having these feelings, I also seem to be sick quite often. My pressure is lower than normal, my legs and hands pain and I get headaches very often. Before I started feeling this way, I had dream about a snake: I was at my grandmother’s house and the snake was chasing someone. I knew it wasn’t me because it was though I was seeing this through the eyes of the snake. Eventually when it stopped the chasing, it propped itself up and started hissing. It was a huge snake, but it never bit anyone. Afterward I checked up on the significance of dreaming about snakes; some say that it could mean an impending death. Another thing is that I havea family history of cancer; its not that I’m scared of dying, I’d just like to know whether these feelings are legitimate or it is meant for someone else? Does anyone have any answers?

    I believe in paranormal activity because something strange is happening in my life and I’ve been told that it’s a gift but it’s scary. One day I was cooking and a bright light appeared to me and no one else saw it but me and it was weird so that night my mom came to me and told me my cousin was killed in an accident. Then the light appeared again about two months later, I got another visit from a family member who then told me that another cousin had died. From there it’s been happening every since. I never know who it’s going to be but I know that it’s going to be a family member. When my mom past, it was different, this time I heard music that sounded like pianos playing and people singing and it was very distrubing. I couldn’t shake the feeling, the next night it happened again and it was so distrubing that I couldn’t tell my mother. The day after I got a call that she became very ill at dialysis and she lived a week after that and then she passed. The light have since came to me but the feeling that I had when my mother died and the music that was heard has never been back.

    I had a dream of a plane exploding, and a month later, that air france/brazil incident happened. A week ago, i dreamt of a train de-railing, perhaps in a few weeks time this will happen. I don’t think i will reach thirty years of age.

  21. Rose says:

    I work in a hospital that is greater than 100 years old. I work on the Gyn unit and have experienced death and dying. I have so many stories of what patient’s go through during their last hours of life. I will tell you about one of them. The first I will tell you about is patient “A”…her life history included being a prostitute, she was on my unit because she was dying of Ovarian Cancer. This patient could hardly walk due to the pain caused by the cancer, she was on my unit for about 2 months. During the last 5 hours of her life, she was laying in her bed. We would check on her every 2 hours. 4 hours before she died, she kept calling us into her room, telling us she was afraid, that is all she would say to us, she kept repeating it over and over. 3 hours before she died, she RAN OUT OF HER ROOM, gasping for air and screamed, “I don’t like that black man in my room, get him out!”…When we went in to her room to look for this man, of course, we didn’t see anyone! It took four nurses to help her back into her bed, because remember, she had lost her ability to walk due to the cancer. We helped her back to her bed and told her to try and rest…When we checked on her at 2 hours before she died, she was laying in her bed still showing us signs that she was scared, so we left the door to her room open and a night light on for her and we gave her an extra blanket…At the last check of the night, we found her in the bed and she had passed away…these words can not describe the horror that we saw on her face when she ran out of her room, telling us she was afraid of that black man.

  22. Jesse Jager says:

    I saw my best friends mother get hit by a car and die. But not before I had A vizion of it all in the day time and I was not sleeping. Then 1 week to the second she got hit by a car. That was one of the first times I was able to see something happen before it acually happens. and that was when I was7 I am now 23 and since that day I had hundreds of vizions and whatever I envizion happens within a week to 3 weeks. It scares me. I mean I saw my Brother-in-Law die before he died…I saw it 8 days before he died…isn’t that crazy.

  23. bonni says:

    i dont know what is happening to me,but i laways see things before something bad happens.black figures usually,sometimes animal like sometimes human.

    i hate it.because i cannot control it and i cant help.

    last night at around 4;30 am i woke up with this urge to just look around my room.it was a bit light out so i could see everything in the room.my husband was sound asleep next to me.

    i saw a figure just peeking over the foot of my bed.it alamost looked hunched.it was about 5 feet tall id say,and it had a dark “cat like face” but the face was the size of a humans.big eyes,white eyes,and it was just looking at me.i blinked and turned my head to the side to kinda “shake it away” as this happens alot to me. i looked back and it was still there,just head peeking over the foot of the bed,i freaked like i do when a big bug is on me,and shook my husband.he yelled “what” and i pointed,unable to say anything. it was still there and he turned on the lamp and ran out of the room to see if maybe someone broke in.it wasnt a robber or person at all.it was a cat like black figure.i wish i knew what cats mean.it freaked me out.now i dont know whats gonna happen

  24. Alpha says:

    From sifting through the comments, a common correlation between these experiences involves black figures. Perhaps then it is safe to assume that these black figures are messengers of death? Perhaps they come to collect it us during our departure from this world?
    However these black figures don’t constitute all death cases. Some death cases have involved people being subjected to visitations from relatives or spontaneous exclamations of how the surroundings have become beautiful (heaven?).
    Personally, i haven’t been exposed to such experiences nor have i experienced visitations from black figures, but my mum told me that when she was young, her grandmother told her that her brother (great great uncle?) died in the hospital whilst smiling saying that his guardian angel and that his grandma had come to take him. He apparently died almost subsequently.

    I am a nurse, it was a busy night at the hospital. I had 3-4 patients, and I was walking past the nurse station and something made me turn around to look in my patients room, and when I did, I saw this black cloaked figure, like an A shaped cloak, with black pants from under the cloak, standing at the foot of my patients bed. My patients light was on, so I could see clearly.The patient’s curtain was pulled maybe 1/4 of the way around the bed. I immediately turned around and went into the room,wondering who would be visiting this time of night. I expected to see this person all dressed in black behind the curtain. There was nobody in there but my patient. He had alcoholic encephalopathy, so he was unable to tell me anything concrete, but noticed he was lying down on his back while leaning up on his elbows with wide eyes. That was a Friday evening about 9-10pm. When I went back to work Monday I found he had died. This was my first experience. Several nurses I have worked with have reported similar sightings or experiences of their own.

    Whats funny is how people have the premonitions of death by the dream, but i in fact have an associated bond with death in saying if i were to dream about the person that is to die all i have to do is raise my hand on that person and it is for sure he or she will. Scary maybe, but to see some of things things i have seen you would be. Scared of myself yes. But why, for a person who’s favourite book of the bible is revelations, a book that resolves around death. To understand it and for a part of me to act on it is scary. I am not here to preach to but, to say that the ones who have been chosen, have a gift unlke no other and i have a feeling that we may be the ones who will stand on the last battle of of heaven and earth to take down or ebolish the evil part of death. Its not normal for one person to see what could happen. Why am i saying this cause i have seen 9/11 2 days before it happened, who was killed, who who was actually flying the planes, what is so crazy is that i flew in the same airline 2 weeks prior to the all this going in and was in new york. I seen the bombing in spain 2 weeks for it happened and touch one by one the ones that would be taken, for a picture to go from color to gray to bright red in sequence is something i had to go through. Sightings of people walking, talking, and breathing, and dieing are things that i have gone through. We are angels!!!, maybe. Look into urself and see if you have died urself and call ur self dead man walking no one can see it but you.

  27. Yvonne says:

    I have been scared lately because of my own premonitions. Both my boyfriend and I have had our share of premonitions. Mine have been over harmless things like seeing the future of what was gonna happen the next day or even that same day. My boyfriend however has had premonitions of death in his dream. He has had three family members with which he has dreamed of their death and heard their screams and when he awoke he found out they had passed. Recently he has had a dream that we were on a high terrace. I saved him from falling but I fell instead and he heard my scream. I am still here and had forgotten it until I looked on my fridge today and saw the word death spelled out. I don’t know whether to think of this as coincidence or if something is coming. I’m scared that something is gonna happen to me.

  28. j says:

    I don’t exactly believe in this stuff, but I write down my dreams every morning, and also have long lie-ins where I’m half dreaming, and an incredible amount of the stuff in my dreams comes true. I had a very strong vision, almost hallucination, of a plane crashing the exact night before the air-france crash. I almost thought a plane was actually crashing onto my hosue. Once I dreamt I saw my mother collapse, and the next day she fainted. Another time I dreamt that my brother (who I didn’t even know was on holiday abroad) was lost, running around in a city which looked like istanbul, and the next morning he phoned to say he got robbed and then lost that night, while on holiday in lebanon.

    But dreams also have a symbolic meaning, I think – which isn’t always directed related to this kind of simple prediction.

  30. Ashley says:

    Yeah wow but I have somewhat of a different problem,I keep having a vision that I am getting shot and I die. I don’t knw what to do I have done so much research to try and find out if I am seeing my own death or maybe the death of myself in a past life. Please help anyone who has any insight or maybe that could e-mail me about it if you have any experience at all. If it is my own death I don’t have much time because I am not much older then I am now in the vision. Thankyou so much for any help.

    I believe in them, even thoe im only 14 i have them all the time and when i fall asleep, they happen so like a few day,months,or years later they happen, my mom had it happen to her to when she was younger. so it really is a gift, im still figuring out how to use it thoe.

  32. S R Das says:

    With referance to a story related to a dying prostitute who reported of seying a dark man who was apparently torturing her . …………This is a scientifically documented phenomenon called as Terminal Restlessness where in the person who is dying reports of certain horrible looking beings (with pointed nose , long faces , standing hairs ) .They seem to come with certain kind of ropes that pull the soul of the person from the body .THis is very nicely explained in the vedas , especially the Bhagwat puran 6th canto from the story of a person named Ajamel .Theres also a book called Second Chance which elaborately explains this phenomenon .This book also tells how one can counteract the effect of such gostly beings …… when i tried i,t when i had an encounter with a ghostly creature, it worked out wonderfully .SInce then i have developed faith in what the book talks about.

    There are certain holy sound vibrations which when uttered helplessly drives away such beings , I have personally tried it out and it worked very nicely .When i chanted this mantra ‘Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ‘ I have found that such beings no longer seem to influence us .

    One more thing , if one acts piously, follows the Laws of GOd as revealed to us in the holy scriptures , chants holy names of the Supreme Lord on a regular basis , prays to Lord then such beings dont even come near . On the contrary one who breaks the laws of God will certainly see such beings at the time of death .

  33. Keane says:

    Wow i think ever since my father died i have been thinking to much about ghosts and death. Its a problem cuz he died wen i was 15 (2 years ago) and i almost every other month have a dream of him saying it was all a hoax, and we laugh but when i wake up i have tears runnin down. If spirits can actually contact us cant they make it obviouser or at least provide proof that who ever claims to have contact isn’t questioning him or her self if it was real or not. For instance the first dream of my father happened two weels after his death. I dreamed that he and i were laughing about how everyone believed he was dead, then we walked down this street. He looked at me with a straight face and said “son i gota go now” and he began cryin. I was confused and said “can i go with?” he cried more and said “you cant, but i love you.” he kept drifting back into this bright light.
    This was my realest dream to date. Now am i crazy or was it real. I like to think he went to heaven but i dont believe in the whole spirits contacting the living.

  36. Melissa says:

    I believe in them for the simple fact I have them too, i kinda keep it to my self b/c im afraid someone would call me a freak, im 15 years old and sometimes its a gift but other times i dont want to have them, they scare me to death sometimes, My mom says its a gift from god, but sometimes it dosent seem like it, They started happening to me when i was about 5, sometimes i want them to just go away, I havethem mainly when im asleep, The day before 9/11 when i was asleep in kindagarden cuz of nap time, i didnent know what they were or where the buildings were at, but the next day i walked into my grandma’s house and say it on the news, my dad was supost to deliver in new your city that day, but he couldnt b/c the load had to go somewhere else, so he had to say home and for that i think god for, b/c that could have been him killed their, i feel horrable for all the people that passed, i just wish i would have known that was gonna happen.
