My father has 3 nephews. Until I was nearly 20, I only knew/had met one of them - nephew A. Never even clapped eyes on the other 2. DF had not seen either in about 22 years. Driving up up the drive-way to the crem, the day of my uncle's funeral (their dad), there was a man walking ahead of us. I couldn't see his front view at all, just the back of a head and a suit. But I knew he was nephew B and insisted so to my dad. When we drove past him, and DF got a good look at the face, it was nephew B. No idea how I knew.



Came home from school once and warned my DM that someone was ill, I could feel it. An hr later my aunt rang from Spain to say my grandad had had a heart attack. He was elderly but in good health and we'd had no worries. I had not even had him in mind or considered that this might happen.



DM also once met a couple on holiday and said that they were utterly lovely but she couldn't bear to be around them- at the bar or pool etc- because she had an overwhelming feeling the husband was about to die. He was killed in a jet-ski accident the penultimate day of DMs holiday.



She is convinced DFs business partner came back to us after he died. She could smell his cigars, both parents heard his incessant humming and she found the shower in his bathroom (lived with us un his old age, no other family) turned on! She was home alone at the time.



DF is not v woo, but always used to assert that he was worried that Robin Williams would one day kill himself. Really, really insisted this and felt bad about feeling it but inexplicably worried. I can remember him saying this from about 2001/2, when I was 11.
