So I’ve never really put any of these things together, but it seems that perhaps there’s something paranormal in my life. First off, I’ve always had an odd sort of luck. Not like winning the lottery luck or anything (though that would be nice), but more like not getting hurt when I really should have been or somehow accidentally just missing being in a bad place at a bad time.
The first thing I remember as clearly seeming out of the ordinary happened when I was probably about 13 or so early one morning. I was about to head outside with my dogs to help my dad with the horses in the barn (it was one of those New England chilly foggy mornings). I got to the garage and realized that needed something from the house (I don’t remember what now). I went to go back out the door and it wouldn’t budge. It wasn’t locked, and it opened inwards and I will tell you I was hanging off it with all my weight but it definitely was not moving. I finally stand up and look out into the backyard through the window and see a pack of coy-dogs walking across the field (which I cross to get to the barn). This wouldn’t have been nearly so scary if a neighbor hadn’t illegally kept wolves that he released when the cops started to catch on. These wolves had interbred with the coyotes which made them quite large and aggressive. Peoples pets had been disappearing and such, if the door hadn’t stuck I would have walked right into them in the fog, with my medium sized dog. I watched them cross the yard and grabbed my dads pellet gun, and at this point the door swung open.
My dad also has told me that I had quite a few impressive falls and landed directly on my head out of the monkey bars a few times but never was hurt. I also tend to be a few seconds behind or ahead of accidents on regular occasions, and have gotten odd feelings that alter my pattern of behavior causing me to avoid being in an accident, or move just enough to not be hit by a falling object (that no one heard start to fall or saw until at head level).
Just yesterday I was rehearsing for a gig and was getting my guitar packed in my truck when didn’t see my wallet in the cupholder (where I was pretty sure I left it) so I made my way back to the practice space and looked around.. no wallet. At that point I thought maybe I threw it in my guitar case or something or perhaps left it home. I got back in my truck and lo and behold there it is in my cupholder that I literally had put my hand in to double check for it. About halfway home on the highway traffic grinds to a stop and there’s a large SUV crashed into the concrete barrier on one side and a van completely wrecked, smoking and leaking fluid crashed into the median. Cops weren’t even there yet, people were trying to get out of vehicles, one girl was propped up against the wall clearly very injured. I figure that extra two minutes spent on my wallet saved me quite a bit of hassle. This sort of thing happens regularly, just the most recent example.
Also, I get stuck on EVERYTHING. I walk by doors and get my coat belt caught on a ROUND doorknob, like jerks me backward caught. Or I stand up out of a chair and somehow my hood is stuck on the back. Even walking down a stairway with a hand rail that has a slight joint in it where two pieces were connected (sanded out so that its just a slight rise) my jacket cuff will get caught enough to make me stop back up and unhook it. This really isn’t in my head, friends that are around me consistently have noticed without me mentioning it. Generally the things I get stuck on are such odd things to become that attached to without any effort that people cant even replicate it on purpose.
Anyway just thought I’d put that out there and see if anyone had thoughts. Thanks!

It sounds normal to me. We all think we’re different in some way as to our luck to still be alive. especially if you spent as long drinking like I and a few of my friends had, and driving, and everything that goes along with that lifestyle. We’ve often got together and told of the many many times each of us went passed deaths door. Missed being at places that were being robbed or accidents, etc. I read a book somewhere I’d like to get ahold of again that listed coincedences that happened with people,places, and things. It was very interesting.
i don’t know what you would call it, but i sure would like to have what you have!! i too haven’t ever had anything tramatic happen to me but that doesn’t mean that someday, somehow, or someway, something will happen. thanks for a really interesting experiences!
That sounds so wierd its like……
something or someone is protecting you
Ive heard of ghost that get relatively close to a person thats alive
the ghost or spirit tries protecting them from harm or danger……
Actually, this sounds like your spirit guide or a protective spirit around you trying to keep you from being harmed. Or you could have visions of this happening and misplaced your wallet without even realising it. Sounds more like a spirit guide kind of thing though.
Ever seen the movie ” Sliding Doors “? – a very similar concept about how timing can change your whole life. A minute earlier here – a minute later there and fate and reality can be changed forever and diverge onto a new path.
I call mine ‘ post it notes from god ‘ and I have just about given up worrying about them anymore – they are going to happen anyway but gee I really do wonder what they MEAN and exactly what is their purpose. Yours obviously keep you safe from harm, and even the snagging of clothes is enough to slow you for a moment ot two….and that moment or two of delay could be relevant to an outcome. You should read up on ” synchronicity ” – which is when a seemingly series of random of events take on specific meaning. I found it enlightening when wondering about my ‘ post it notes from god ‘. There would appear to be some order to the universe after all!
Hi ….I read your story and enjoyed it…I can relate to what you were talking about…because I’ve had some of the same experiances myself like getting a piece of clothing caught on a door or chair etc…also I think ‘sometimes’ when a person just happens to call on the phone as you’re ready to walk out the door ,and you answer it,or maybe you seem to catch every red light on your route…or you get ‘stuck’ behind a really s-l-o-w driver and cannot get around them…I believe that all these things happen to keep us from being in a dangerous situtation or bad wreck…and I believe that our Guardian Angels and spirit guides use these things to help protect us from harm…..Blessed Be!!!
heyy… i read your story and i really enjoyed it your experiences are really similar to mine these experiences has been happening to me since i was 8 and it still does and i never feel alone its always like something is next to me or watching this happens more when i pray to god. it doesnt scare me. sometimes i hear wispers or when i want to open the doors its like someone is holding it from the other side and few seconds later it just lets me open them or i see shadows move around but no one else sees them.i remember talking to an old guy when i was 8 he was infront my apartment he was a nice man he asked for money i didnt have much with me but i gave him all i had and told him i was sorry and i only had that much with me. i went in the apartment than i went out again to ask something(cant remember what it was) he was dissapeared but that feeling of happiness covered me and since than i feel really protected from everything even car accidents, when others gossip or make up rumours about me soon after i always hear each of those people going thorugh really painfull time and one was in hospital 2 years ago they said he was going to die but i dont know. i tried to ask some people but they never seemed to believe me i just wanted to ask what do you do when you have these experiences? now im 14 is there anyone who can give me an idea of what i can do or how i can find out what it is thats following me all the time if any one has any ideas please i really will like to know. thankyou
