I believe, because I have something similar. I'm not moving objects or anything crazy, but I do get feelings. (I just reopened a new poal account to share this BTW, I lost my old account). I've been wanting to get this off my chest.
I had noticed for a while that I would be thinking about something/feeling something and then it would pop up in the news. It was weird, but I wasn't paying enough attention to notice a pattern. I just thought, "oh you just are noticing the story only because you were thinking about it. If you were not thinking about it you wouldn't have noticed the story". So this went on for years, until finally something happened that really got my attention.
(The first time I really accepted something might be happening) One day I was driving on a bridge home from work and got this horrible feeling of being trapped and scared, like I was in some kind of danger. I felt like I was having a panic attack, but felt extremely trapped. I thought about this experience for about a week, I didn't know why I had it because I don't have panic attacks on my own. It was very weird and a very strong emotion. Then something horrible happened in that spot about a week later, a limo filled with a bridal party caught on fire in that same spot and half the girls couldn't get out. They were trapped and burned to death. It turns out the party was picked up just a few blocks from my house. Here is the story: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/aug/19/local/la-me-limo-fire-20130820
A year and a half ago I'm driving on the 1 like I did every day that year to put my two toddlers down for their nap (we lived with my FIL in that area). They would sleep in the carseats and I would drive to Malibu and back. It was wonderful and peaceful. One day I'm driving and I'm hit with just such grief I start sobbing. The words "repenant heart" echo through me and I'm filled with such sorrow that I can't explain. Then I get this over whelming feeling of loss, like something was going to happen to that community that will create a profound sense of loss. This time I scanned the news. When the metoo movement happened I thought that must have been it (since a lot of Hollywood types live in that area). Nope, I turned white as a ghost when I turned on the news and saw the Malibu Woolsey fires happening over this summer. It was in the exact damn spot I was sobbing. https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-malibu-woolsey-destruction-map/
This early winter I had another episode. I was driving and had an urgent feeling of being tboned. Then I was drawn to looking at my toddlers in the back seat. I couldn't make sense of it. Then about a week later a terrible accident happened where a car was tboned and the toddler in the backseat was killed. I'm not going to share that article because it's still so raw and saddening. It turns out someone in my circle knew this family.
Still I didn't want to believe this could be occuring to me.
The latest one that happened a month or so ago. I was running errands. I was at a stoplight and got a profound sense of walking and being hit. I was drawn to looking at specific corner. I shuddered and thought maybe it was just my mind trailing. The next day I read in our local paper that a woman crossing the street at that spot was killed. I started sobbing because that was my definitive, "I'm getting these feelings and don't know the fuck why".
I talked to a minister about it who suggested maybe it's intercessory prayer, that in those terrible times of need when someone can't pray for themselves others are called to step in on their behalf. Since every incident is tied close to where I'm living at the time it makes sense. So now I just pray.
