In current times of fact-checking, many of us will only trust any kind of information if there is sufficient evidence to back it up.
"What are you 100% certain is true despite having no evidence to confirm or disprove your belief?"
When it comes to family and pets, people just know they're instincts are spot on.
Dead Or Alive
"That my dad might be alive. He supposedly died in 2009. He was a huge paranoid conspiracy theorist to the point where he would bury his money, planted bushes to hide behind in case the government had a shoot-off with him, and at one point thought we all had been replaced by clones."
"The only people who saw his body are one of my aunts and my grandma who had Alzheimer's. They told us he was cremated and at the funeral there was no coffin, no urn, all there was was a black and white photo from when he was 10 (he was born in the 50's)."
"I've yet to see his urn or death certificate and it's been 12 years. He had connections to people who could have easily helped him fake his death, he also had the money to do this. People have also supposedly seen him in Indiana (they took a picture and tbh the guy looks just like him only a bit older, same hunchback, same tattoo on his leg, and he even walked with the same little limp)."

Family Trauma
"I think my mom's ex boyfriend raped my sister. We don't have any evidence. He was abusive towards my mom so we got him out of her life, and then we noticed my sister gets noticeably on edge around men. He won't talk, and my sister is mentally disabled and won't tell us. I'm 100% certain of it in my gut."

The Keen Doggo
"Our dog knew my wife was pregnant before she did. Normally she was a sweet and lazy lovable dumbass who would hang out with whoever wasn't moving. (The dog, not the wife) Then one day, she decided she wasn't going to leave my wife's side. She wasn't aggressive, but she wasn't going anywhere either. Followed her everywhere for a few weeks, then spousal unit started getting sick, and went to the doctor, and the doctor said 'Lets check the obvious'...
"And now I have an eight year old daughter, and that dog is her constant companion."
These Redditors were convinced their very specific instincts were accurate.
Old School Mickey
"Lately, Disney has been trying to revive the old 'steamboat Willy' version of Mickey Mouse through merchandise and new cartoons drawn in the old fashion that nobody really asked for. I think they are doing all of that deliberately so that they can try to fight the scheduled copyright expirations on their old cartoons."

Eyes On The Prize
"I'm convinced that theme parks/fairs/carnivals pay people to walk around with giant prizes to make the games look more winnable and convince more people to play."

Pricing According To Performance
"I am convinced that the electronics items sold at steep discounts on Black Friday are the ones that don't test as well at the factory. Like, when they do quality control tests, the ones that rate 90% or whatever are the ones that are tagged and sent out for Black Friday sales."

There are some things people know in their gut to be true, and it's not good news.
When a significant other becomes distant, the past experiences of many people would say it's likely they are being unfaithful.
Another thing people have a feeling about that has yet to be substantiated is the existence of ghosts. There are many supernatural accounts shared between people, however, it's usually all smoke and mirrors.
But if there was evidence to either of these instincts, would you be ready to face the truth?
