Yes, an adult child of a neighbor. He lives here. I would leave the pool if he came, and I have taught DS to walk away if he comes near. I never said anything but then about 2.5 years ago his dog attacked my friend's dog when her son was walking it. I came over to babysit while she did the police report and learned most people have the same impression. She had me tell the officer about my having had looked him up on the offenders registry and his reply was that we can't see everything they see in their files and to "trust my instincts."
We are lucky ours is the only culdesac he doesn't wash his dogs down several times a day.
Damn. I don't think I've ever had a feeling like this about someone. I'm sure it's not super typical to come across pedophiles and what not, but I also think I lack intuition about that kind of thing.
Yes, and the feeling never changed. I keep waiting for the day a former coirker shows up on the news after they start finding people held captive in his basement. He never did anything directly to me, but I got that vibe from him and watched him be incredibly weird towards another guy on our team; he always just had this air of creepiness about him. I told my boss once that I was uncomfortable working alone with him, and he said I wasn't the only one felt that way. I was basically the only woman, so the men were clearly creeped out by him too.

Definitely. The strongest one was a camp counselor when I was a kid. The second I saw him I told my mom not to leave me there, but she thought I was just being shy. He ended up being really inappropriate with the girls (including me) and got fired later that summer.
Yup. When I worked at a grocery store, there was a customer who gave me the creeps several times. Last year he was arrested for locking his kids in a cage.
Yes. My friend's neighbor, when I was 14, friend and I went over to his house to check if he stole our bike and he was just standing in the garage with a whip, staring at us. I refused to go near him and would avoid him every time I saw him.
Few years later he killed someone and put the body in the trunk of his car.

Yes, H's childhood friend/neighbor. H had started distancing himself by the time I came around. J was still in the neighborhood though. He made me feel scared and in danger when he was around. In 2002, he pissed off the wrong people who burned down a shed in his yard. In 2004, he got into a shoot out with the police. He was shot 3 times and lived. There were many bad things he did over the years. H saw H's sister a few years ago. She told H he should go visit J in prison. Apparently it gets lonely there.

Sure. I get mild icky vibes pretty often and just avoid those people. A few times I've gotten very strong bad feelings, I've worked hard to avoid those people. One coworker was later arrested for molesting his daughter. It was pretty awful.
A couple times I've pushed through my vibe on people and given them the benefit of the doubt and I've always regretted it. I can think of two women who I instantly felt off about but other friends liked them. I wanted to be nice. I tried. Both times, things went really sour quickly. I am done with that now.
Yes, and no the feeling did not lessen over time (though, fortunately, my exposure to them did/could). I am generally pretty good at reading people, and I am also always on high alert, especially now, having L; it's possibly the singular upside to my anxiety.
I try to always go with my gut. I've been told that I'm too nice. I know I am nice but if I get the willies from you, I won't trust you with my houseplants, let alone anything else.
Also, make sure you listen to your instincts in regards to places, roads, etc. Twice, I had a feeling I shouldn't go/be somewhere and both times, there were shootings at the same time I would have been there. (A dance club and then Walmart)
My middle school shop teacher was known as the "creepy one" but he was particularly creepy with me. He asked if I'd stay after school some time so he could take some pictures. I was all confused, like, "what kind of pictures?" He dropped it. I never told anyone. He was later convicted of molesting a girl and then harassing her after his conviction. It was terrible and I felt badly that I'd never said anything. I will always trust my instincts and do what I can to teach my daughter and son to trust theirs.
Yes, mostly about people I never have to see again.
I did have a bad feeling about a HS teacher I had, but my instincts were never confirmed one way or another. He was just weird. Off. He would walk around the room and if he called on you and you were a female, he'd kind of squeeze your shoulder from behind. It was creepy. I have no idea if he still teaches there or if anything happened with him.

Yes definitely and I feel like they rarely are different from my original feeling. This made me think of a girl that was hired in my workplace a few years ago. I just had a weird feeling about her. She was perfect on paper but something was off. She ended up quitting with no notice within a couple of weeks.
Yes for me...It was actually a married couple. I think the main reason for their odd behavior was because they were douchey people to begin with and they were also alcoholic pill poppers which didn't help. Just erratic and weird behavior from both of them.
The husband is the older brother of one of our good friends, so occasionally we bump into them at their family events like children's birthdays. The latest was this past Sunday for a Super Bowl party. The husband was fine this time, I'm thinking he sobered up. I just ignored the wife, I don't have anything to say to her.
