Possibly and yet why is the occult practiced all over the world and in all walks of society?
I first dealt with a haunted house when I was six years old, long before my first horror movie or ghost story. Lots of things that couldn't be explained then or now! I stayed up until after 2AM to watch the end of my first horror movie. One of the wax museum movies, I forget which then. I was the only one awake or in the living room. That movie was so scary I had to hide behind my dad's big recliner to watch it!(grin) Scared me mightily.
I have had premonitions a handful of times. The first when I was fifteen, maybe sixteen. I was playing pool in a place near the house and I couldn't shake an uneasy feeling. I went the mile or two home and got my pool cue which I never normally carried.
When I got back I got my cue butt out but still didn't put it together and play with it. A little later three guys I had gotten in a fight with showed up. Also there was William, a fairly recently retired pro boxer who was seeing a dancer that was somebody's ex wife. I knew the girl slightly, and I had played pool with William many times.
Next thing I knew, William and I were against an old stage in the back of the place. I had the butt of the across my chest like a baton and William was alongside me.
Things cooled off after awhile, I was looking pretty ready with the cue and more importantly William wasn't a picnic for anyone to take on. After five or ten minutes the people in the back of the crowd were pushing forwards and the people in front were obviously leaning backwards to not get pushed into William or my cue. William beat twenty-four men arm wrestling later when things calmed down, some multiple times, some with both hands. I faded with some friends I had made that night. Funny thing, neither William or any of those men had been in the place when the uneasy feeling settled on me.
I got that same feeling a half dozen more times. Sometimes I knew why later, sometimes I never knew. However, when I got that feeling of dread I bailed without question. Sometimes we know something without knowing why. Occult probably isn't the answer, I don't know. My guess is a sense we have that isn't recognized yet. Can't rule out the occult though and sometimes it is a matter of when in doubt get the hell out!

I didn't know this was you. Much respect. You play great and handle yourself well in these events.
