Unsure What I'm Experiencing

For the past approximately 20 years I have been experiencing a sort of phenomena and I'm unsure of what to call it. I have had repeated experiences of having a person (usually somebody I am not particularly close with or at least not at the time of the occurrence) pop into my head. Often I will think 'I wonder what happened to them' and will try to track them down, only to learn they had died either a few days before or after the moment they came into my mind. On a couple of occasions, they were people from my past who I was at one time quite close to, but had lost contact for many years and have no other friends in common so there wouldn't be a chance I had heard something third hand. My most recent example is last weekend while at an event out of town I thought of a friend of my husband's who would have enjoyed the event. I planned on taking a photo to send to him, but became busy and forgot to do it. We learned about an hour after I arrived home that he had died the night before (roughly 6 hours after I had thought about him). He was actually the first person that I was currently connected with that this has happened with, however, he was not somebody who I would have normally thought about in the course of a day and I remember being surprised at myself for thinking of him that day even though I thought he would like the event. It was just that unusual. It's always been a casual thought, never a premonition or a vision of the person. I'm rather new to this and am not sure what 'category' this type of phenomena would fall into.
