in honor of the OP's request for comments from WP folk with "at least one psychic experience" - i can say that when i was younger, i witnessed my older sister and her best friend on many occasions, simultaneously pick-up the telephone before it rang, when one would seek to chat with the other telephonically. my older brother learned he could "water-witch" when he was a u.s. marine -he still can, most recently when he helped me find a buried septic pipe underneath my backyard using a Y-shaped fallen tree branch he found. my older brother long claimed that when he was in the army, he would involuntarily astrally project when he was tired - he could be riding his motorcycle when suddenly he would "see" himself from above his own body as thought he were a ghost looking down from above.
when i was in the army, there were multiple occasions where other GIs would ask me about something i had been privately thinking about without ever having mentioned anything aloud to anybody. one bona-fide psychic told me i had "a leaky mind" that even nominally psychic folk could easily read. i can't count the number of times that somebody standing next to me would start humming or whistling a song/earworm [NOT a popular song] i had running in my head at the time, or i would start whistling a song only to have somebody else tell me "i was just thinking of that song!" i was sitting in my room one day listening to music when suddenly a foreign thought overrode the music, "DAMN IT! i forgot my keys!" and for a few seconds i was wondering what THAT was all about when suddenly there was a knocking at the door and it was my roommate wanting to be let in, as he had forgotten his keys.
my mother had no psychic talents but she did tell me that her mother had a psychic connection to her beloved eldest daughter- she would always know ahead of time when her eldest was going to drop by for a visit, and cook a "welcome-home" meal for her in advance of this meeting- mind you all, this was in 1920s backwoods japan with no telephones, and no written correspondence as my grandmother was illiterate. my mother's older sister was also psychic and once cruelly told her eldest sister [whom she hated] she she would die soon, and within one month the oldest sister did indeed die, of unknown causes.
on this note, they say psychic talent skips a generation, and this seems to be my situation. i consider my isolated psychic incidents to be flukishly freakish more than any real talent, in that i never was able to read anybody else's mind or manifest any other kind of psychic function by my own volition- it was always involuntary, i.e. a foreign thought would just pop into my head from time to time. i don't even know if this phenomena should be called psychic, but i don't know what else to call it.
most recently, when my father died, both me and my mother were simultaneously jerked from sleep by his "voice" shouting our names individually [i heard my own name, and my mother heard her name]. when my mother died 2 years later, i was roused from sleep at least once by her "voice" shouting my name. also there were multiple occasions of unexplained "poltergeist" activity in my parent's now empty ['cept for me living as caretaker inside] house, with loud banging and thumping in locations of which i could never find any physical cause. this noise lasted for several minutes on several occasions until i would say aloud, "OK, Mom and Dad! i hear you!" at which point the noises would suddenly stop. one day on the way to the veterans' cemetery carrying my late mother's cremains, i suddenly felt surrounded by a pronounced loving warmth i never felt from mom when she was alive [as she was a typically reserved japanese woman]- this feeling lasted for a good 15 minutes or so, and it greatly comforted me.

PPR is a poor forum for this sort of discussion, as rationality tends to dominate mere belief here. this said, anybody is welcome to call me crazy but i am not bothered by the name-calling because i know what i experienced was not just my imagination. i thank the OP for this particular topic, as i long wished there were somebody i could talk-to about it.

for other WP readers curious about this topic, i would recommend the book, "Hello from Heaven."

None of this type of thing has ever happened to me. If it had I might feel the same as you but there is no way I could deny your experience.

There is not an iota of empirical evidence that support the above supposition.

If it ain't empirical it is bu**sh*t.

Just be careful about saying such things auntblabby, most convinced religious people use that argument. :p

I have quarter. It's nothing special, just a quarter. It does something really weird though. 90% of the time I can flip on the side I want. Just this quarter. The 90% holds true for both sides. To test this empirically, I did a small statistical study. I set alpha to .05. I decided to flip it 25 times for heads, and 25 times for tails. The first was 20, and the second was 18. The probability of this is .0085. Needless to say, this is a weird quarter. Is that empirical, or is statistics useless without a theory to explain it?

As for ESP, I can't do anything ESP. I can however control my emotions. I don't control my actions, I control my actual emotions. I decide what I feel, when I want to feel it. I can also lie to myself, so that even though I know it's not true, I believe it for a short amount of time. About ten minutes or so. Very useful for getting out of trouble. And playing poker.

i am appreciative of your concern, phil777, but i am willing to handle being called delusional or a religious nut [even though i have no use for religion], merely by me saying "i have seen a glimmer of the light." the "light" is agape. hey, it works for me. but i believe that others will see the light also, when it is the right time for them to do so.

*****This is not a debate thread, rather it is going under the region topic . So please no debating or asking for proof.
thanks! ****

This is a thread for you psychics out there on the wrong planet.

List you ability's ones you actually have. Even if they only happened once as a freak occurrence.

Also feel free to speculate how you managed to do them .

I'll go first with my more believable ones.

I'm psychic I can feel what people are feeling (empathic). I can read faces (I will explain that one if asked). I can talk to trees if I want to. I can communicate with animals.
And connect to "the grid" as the indigo's call it to communicate with people consciously or unconsciously.

Among other things which I may add later.

I speculate I am able to do these things By picking up on the electromagnetic frequency that everything gives off and being able to send and receive information that way.

but that's just my theory.

I went to step of the curb, when I realised I was floating in mid-air. I didn't feel scared (I was 9 and fearless) and attempted to walk further, however my feet then reconnected with the ground with a bump.

I seem to attract ghosts, in most of my pictures I have at least one orb in the background, and I regularly see figures that I can only get a glimpse at, then they are gone.

I've never tried building my abilities yet, although I somehow know my gran (who died when i was three) is around from time to time. Another experienced and talented psychic confirmed that she watched over me from time to time, although she was about to decrease her visits as something she had been waiting for for many years was about to happen. Later that month my grandad died
