Premonition

“	"Is this real, or is this in my head?" "I think you know what a Banshee premonition feels like."	”
	— Lydia Martin and Meredith Walker about Premonitions in The Sword and the Spirit

Premonitions are the power to perceive future, present, or past events. How exactly this power will manifest can vary based on the power-level of the user; it can come in the form of dreams, visions, or sounds that the user may incorrectly believe are hallucinations, as well as simply just a feeling or instinct that something is about to happen.

This power is shown to be possessed by Banshees and Hellhounds, who, as harbingers of death, experience visions of deaths that may soon come to pass. Premonitions can be experienced in conjunction with other powers, such as Clairaudience, Divination, Death Sense, and Extrasensory Perception. In some cases, this power can even be used to experience past events rather than ones in the future. The period of time between the present day and when the predicted event occurs can vary; some premonitions predict events that will not occur for many hours, if not many days or weeks, while other premonitions only give the user a few seconds warning before the event occurs.

Lydia first had a premonition of hearing a clacking noise combined with seeing shadows at the McCall House that looked like a large spider's legs. She was then transported into a vision in which she was standing in the entrance hall to the high school, which, after a moment, suddenly appeared to be covered in a maze of spider webs. Lydia was able to use her power of Clairaudience while in this premonition by making tactile contact with the webs and hearing different sounds that hinted to the battles to come. ("Said the Spider to the Fly")
Lydia experienced a series of fragments composing an auditory (and later, visual) premonition of the shooting that would occur at the McCall House that evening, an attack that was presumably waged by Gerard and Tamora's Hunter army. **The first fragment of this premonition began with Lydia seeing a crack developing in the windshield of Chris Argent's SUV, while she, Argent, Scott McCall and Malia Tate discussed their plan to destroy Gerard Argent's weapons.
- This premonition continued in bits and pieces throughout the day, with her Clairaudience power picking up the sounds of gunshots and bullet casings falling onto the ground, until finally, her premonition transported her into a vision of the McCall House dining room, where the windows had shattered and laser sights were being pointed inside. However, though she knew for certain that something bad would soon be happening, she wasn't sure what these fragments of premonitions meant until seconds before the shooting occurred. ("Triggers")
When Lydia was sleeping one night, she had a dream-premonition that Scott McCall, Malia Tate, Derek Hale, Peter Hale, Ethan Steiner, and Jackson Whittemore were petrified into stone by the Anuk-ite's merged form. ("Broken Glass")
