When I worked at my high school, we were walking through the hall, and for some reason, I just felt that I should stop walking. I did, and half a second later the ceiling tile in front of me fell, barely missing my head. Things you see out of the corner of your eyes are processed much differently than those in th ecenter of your field of vision. That's why you may see something that "isn't reallly there" out of the corner of your eye but not when you look at it. Sometimes, this effect lets you catch a glimpse of a paranormal phenomenon (or just something that your mind would normally shut out,) and sometimes it will let you see minute details thatyour subconscious passes on to let you warn people or keep yourself safe.
