To ask if anyone else is psychic?

[clouise2018]

I'm so interested in this topic and want to speak to others who are "psychic".

I don't know what's happening, but recently I have noticed so much strange occurrences and instances.

For example, I'll think of something and then literally not long after it will happen.

At first I thought it was just coincidences but it's happening almost every day now

I hope I'm making sense and would love to hear from others who have experienced this!!

Taking Robert Sheldrake's word on what bad science is...

The man is not a member of any 'scientific community', he is a quack who believes in a load of pseudoscience bull that hasn't got a shred of evidence and doesn't use any kind of scientific method. Dismissing something isn't bad science if it has no evidence and no possible mechanism.

Hi there OP,

We're going to move this to The Unexplained for you

As someone who has been doing palm reading for years, and shocking and stunning people all along the way, I can tell you its "magical" or otherwise woo.
Its straight up observation, understanding of human condition, health and basic psychology.

Can you see this

@DobbyTheHouseElk it's being moved :)

Lol

this is The Law of Attraction. Have you read The Sectre by Rhonda Byrne?

I have given a psychic reading to someone i never met before and word for word it all came true. Have had three readings which have come true. two from two separate psychics and one from a clairvoyant.

It is not magical! I really should pre read

For example, I'll think of something and then literally not long after it will happen.

You have literally thousands of thoughts a day. The vast majority of them never happen, it's just that you don't notice. Neither you nor anyone else is psychic.

*The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Sorry typo

There's no such thing as psychic. If someone tells you they can speak to dead people or see into the future one of two scenarios apply:

A. They either know they are lying, in which case they are a fraudster.

B. They truly believe it, in which case they have a mental illness

There is no third option.

And don't bother replying to me with the time your aunty correctly told you what was for tea one night and there's no possible way she could have known.

Brilliant @AnyaMumsnet Thank you.

People who are too open minded often find their brains drop out.
No they don't. The skull would have to be opened for the brain to fall out. Nothing to do with being Open Minded.

I can normally guess when people are pregnant. Not because of anything they say just something i pick up

I can always tell when DH or one of my DC is getting ill. I think it's a smell, even though I have a crap sense of smell. Nothing to do with being psychic.
There are dogs trained to detect cancer and seizures. There's nothing woo about it, these things can sometimes be detected, apparently by humans too.

There is no such thing as psychic ability. You're experiencing confirmation bias based on chance events. If you truly are psychic and can prove it scientifically you would be the first person in history to do so.

They wouldn’t move it for me. It had to be you requesting the move. I’m sure you will get better comments in this topic. Beware AIBU. They like fresh meat.

Last month I was getting ready to go out and was singing MC Hammer Can’t Touch This. Low and behold what song was playing when I switched the radio on when I got in the car. Does this make me psychic???

@DobbyTheHouseElk I'm familiar with AIBU, I often read through some of the threads and you're right, they're relentless! 😂

Thanks for your help though, at least I know of a board now where people are more open minded about this kind of thing

They're called coincidences.

more open-minded = credulous

i was given a free reading when i was 17 and sadly it did all come true. Beware clairvoyants.

"Not many people are open minded about it".

Because most people are wise to the fact that nobody is psychic.

@delboysskinandblister I've had my cards read earlier this year from a lady in my local shopping centre.

She wasn't from the area, she was from Stoke and had a stall for a couple of days.

Everything she said has come true since then and it really resonated with me. She told me things that nobody else could have known which made me really wonder, as there is no way she could have..
