This is a story which I have taken from an old book by David Adams called Test Your Own Super Mind. I don't think it's still in print. The theme of the incident is a 'life-saving precognition'.
The story starts with a German housewife, Margaret Woellner, who lived with her husband and two children in Witzenhausen.
Margaret was in her house, back in 1972, with her then three year old daughter, Ulrike, while her ten year old son, Joachin, played outside in the garden. It was a normal Tuesday and she had no reason to believe that moments later she would have a miraculous escape from death.
Shortly before noon, Margaret went to the kitchen to start making lunch, Ulrike was playing happily on the floor next to her.
Suddenly Joachin rushed into the house, his white face a mask of horror. "Mother," he screamed, "Get out of here! Something terrible is going to happen."
Frau Woellner saw from Joachin's expression that this was not a childish stunt and, after picking up Ulrike, she ran from the house.
Seconds later there was a deafening explosion, followed by a ball of fire which quickly engulfed the house. The kitchen, where minutes earlier Margaret was standing, was reduced to a black and smouldering crater. Nobody could have survived the blast and fire.
The explanation for the blast was a leaking gas pipe but how did Joachin know about this and that he should warn his mother? When questioned all he could answere was, "I just had a strange idea. It was as if there was a voice inside me saying 'Go and fetch your mother and sister, otherwise it will be too late.'"
Fortunately he listened and acted upon his intuition.
Great story! Good thing Margaret listened to her son.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteInteresting subject, I did a similar article in March, but it was more a combination of the above story and the avoiding train crashes story you posted Aug 31.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

There have been moments when I've experienced something similar, yet never in this serious a situation. For example, driving to an appointment and suddenly it being "suggested" that I change my route. Finding out hours later that a terrible accident occurred involving several vehicles, at the time I would have been at that intersection. Bravo Joachin!
