15 TIMES PEOPLE'S GUT FEELINGS SAVED LIVES

1. Child's Intuition

U/Cherokeejon: "I was quite sociable as a child until around the age of five or six. I adored interacting with people, and to me, everyone was a friend. However, when I was around four years old, we had a retired couple as our next-door neighbors. Their son, who was in his thirties, moved in with them, and they were eager to introduce him to our family. I was playing in our driveway with my parents when they seized the moment to make the introductions. According to my dad, I yelped at the sight of their son and hid behind my dad.

Since this was so unusual, he let me hide and just said I was shy with strangers. Several months later, law enforcement officers arrested the neighbor's son for possessing terabytes of 'graphic content' involving children. It's chilling to think about the potential consequences if my parents had maintained a close relationship with our neighbors."
