Clairvoyance, Telepathy, Telekinesis, etc.

[Scout]

Do you believe in psychic abilities? What's your opinion on someone who is apparently one of the possessers? Is it sheer nonsense or could it actually be possible?



Personally, I am not certain of psychic abilities, and I won't fully believe it until I see a supposed psychic demonstrate their abilities and prove me wrong. However, I do believe that it is a possibility, and I'm not completely skeptic.



Clairvoyance is the alleged ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses.



Telepathy is the alleged ability to read the minds of others.



Telekinesis (also known as Psychokinesis) is the alleged ability to move objects using the forces of the mind.



Parapsychology is the study of these alleged abilities.

 

[Raven]

Yes I believe in it

 

[Grailknight]

I don't believe in any of these, or so-called ghost whisperers for that matter.

 

[hotspot]

Of course! I belive in most things no one belives in like magic, aliens and ghosts.



I have the power of ESP, I tend to think of things and then it happens! Or I think of someone and then they call the next day! I can even do math without trying, becuase a random number pops in my head and then; I find out it was the right one!

My brother can hear ghosts, but he won't tell me what they say >.<

My sister gets a wierd feeling when something bad happens, like she got a feeling and then her friend got hurt, another time she had a feeling and our house was robbed.

I can't really explain what I mean by feeling.

We're a paranormal circus!

Clairvoyants or psychics are either scam artists or deluded - perhaps both.

 

[Raven]

^ Not all of them

 

[Sam.]

None of them genuinely have psychic powers...

Though many have tried.

 

[Raven]

^ How do you explain never meeting someone before. but yet they no things about you and your family that they could not have known.

 

[Sam.]

If those powers were genuine and reliable, they would be worth $1 Million.

 

[Raven]

^ Its not about money

Most of them will have associates walking around before the show, catching bits of conversation from people.

Maybe not all of them, but I've yet to be convinced.

I have seen Derek Acora a few years back, he was aweful. Shouting out names and waiting for someone so say ohhh thats for me.. 'I have a Julie, Julie is coming through..... or is it Mary.... She liked abit of a tipple' Oh for god sake go home you money making moron.



Then have pirvate sessions with others that have picked up on infomation that only I know about.

 

[Alien]

I believe in it, though the fakes such as Derek Acorah do give the decent ones a bad name.

 

[Princess]

I have a friend that has 'movies in his head' sometimes. Call it what you will--psychic ability or whatever. But he does have a knack for knowing if a situation is going to turn out.

He also knows what people sound like before he talks to them. He does a few forums and gets a feel for people. 99% of the time he's spot on.

But it's not something that he can control--it just happens as it will.

 

[Scout]

I'm really skeptical about these people - I won't fully believe anything for sure until I see the proof. If you think you have psychic abilities, go to http://randi.org and get yourself a million bucks.

Oh I hate that guy! I used to belive he was a real psychic until I found out the truth.

I think its a bunch of hooey. The human brain is not that powerful.

Wrong. Humans only use about 10% of their brains. Imagine what we could do if we used it to much more of an extent? With just 10% we can store information. With 20 or 30 just think of the possibilities?

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

We could store more information? Have photographic memories?

I doubt we can predict the future and read other people's minds and whatnot.

Telekinesis might be possible though.
