This had occurred in September 2021. My best friend, business partner, and or roommate had passed away unknowingly in his room. I woke up at 5 AM to go to a NFL game with my father that we have season tickets for. While I was in the shower, I had this weird sensation to close the drapes as I was being watched. The bathroom at the time did not have any windows and the vent was pretty much worthless. Nonetheless, I would typically leave it the shower curtains cracked on both sides to alleviate the steam buildup in the actual shower. That day I had this urge to close it and had a subliminal type of conversation with my friend. After feeling a little uncomfortable, I was about to knock on his door, but something came over me and said he’s fine. He’s an adult go enjoy the day with my dad.

Once I had gotten home, I’ve noticed that there was several packages outside the door, which was very unlike him to leave any packages. Sit for more than a few minutes. When I had gone to the kitchen, I noticed some of the chicken Parm I had ordered the previous day was never eaten either. I just let it go as he may not be or has not been home. About an hour or two had passed that I had been home and I did not hear anything and received a text from his girlfriend at the time and she said have you seen or heard Ben today. The way she worded it I had a quick flash of all of the little signs that he was not or has not been downstairs at any point for the day. I ran upstairs and already had seen what had occurred prior to opening the door. And unfortunately, I found him deceased and his bloodhound laying next to him.

What really baffles me is a month and a half prior I had a dream of him that he had passed away and he was on his bed laying the width of the bed and he was 6’4” tall and about 280 pounds. And I saw his dog next to him. I even told him about this vision and that pretty much freaked him out but finding him the exact same way that morning and after having that bizarre conscious conversation with him when I was in the shower and the prevention of knocking on his door in the morning to go hang out with my dad is unexplainable.

I wish I could say this was the only time something like this had occurred, but this has also occurred to one of my other best friends who is no longer with us either. With my other friends passing, I did not have any vision of him passing, but I felt something totally not normal around the time he had taken his life and woke up randomly at 2:30 AM while my phone ringer was off, and I noticed the room was lit up by my phone and I had looked and seen that it was his mother calling me. That’s when I was first notified to him, passing a few hours earlier.

Has anyone experienced anything similar at any point of their life? I know it’s not my fault but seeing these things and even events that had occurred after that have come true fruition, I kind of feel guilty like I could’ve or should’ve done more.
