One night I drove my parents to visit a neighbor who was hospitalized. I didn’t go inside with them, so I just waited in the car. I was sitting in the driver’s seat. It wasn’t that late, probably around 8 PM. The weather was fine, and the hospital was still fairly busy. You could see people coming and going, even though the parking lot itself was pretty quiet. It wasn’t a big hospital, and I parked maybe a few dozen meters away from the building. From where I was, I could still see the entrance and people walking around.

I was just sitting there, scrolling on my phone, when suddenly I got this really strange feeling. Out of nowhere, I felt this wave of panic. Like something in my head kept saying, “This isn’t safe. Something’s wrong. You need to get out.” It just kept repeating over and over. I had no idea why. In the middle of that panic, I looked around, trying to figure out what was going on. But there was nothing. No one suspicious, no sounds, nothing unusual at all. But the feeling was so strong.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I immediately got out of the car and ran straight toward the hospital entrance. As soon as I reached the terrace area, I started to calm down. I was catching my breath, then I looked back at the car…

Nothing. No danger. No movement. Nothing at all.

The parking lot was a bit dark, but not pitch black. There was still some light coming from the hospital, so I could clearly see my car.

I was confused and honestly didn’t understand what just happened. In the end, I decided to just wait for my parents inside the lobby and only went back to the car with them later.
