Psychics ROCK!!

[aneaglesangel]

I have this little paranormal problem going on involving a murdered girl from Kentucky. (I'm from Massachusetts.) On all sides people have reached out to me and it has really been awesome, I have to say! This morning when I checked one of the forums I visit regularly, a forum on demonology run by Keith Johnson, who some of you might know from "Ghost Hunters" but now has his own group in Rhode Island, I found a fascinating message waiting for me. This person had looked at the picture of the murdered girl and told me circumstances of her death he had no right to know. I can't help but feel good inside at how this person reached out to me to tell me these things, even if I knew most of them already.

So I have a question for all the Stephen King fans here, do you believe in psychic skills? And to what extent? I'd be really fascinated by the answers!

Hi,

Absolutely, no question!

Long days and pleasant nights

[aptpupil]

I predict many responses to this question... :cool2:

That's my credentials established!

[Charms7]

I think the human mind is a powerful force capable of much more than most of us realize in a lifetime. It is my belief that all unknowns can become mysteries revealed if only we applied the skills we were born with. Thus, my belief in psychic skills is unlimited.

[staropeace]

Not one little bit. I think they are either trying to feed their own egos or they are trying to make a buck. Sooner or later they paint themselves into a corner and have a Sylvia Brown moment. Boy did she mess up good.

[Natjen26]

Maybe, I haven't encountered one. But I've never met an alien too, does that mean they don't exist. :cool2:
But I think most of them out there are frauds, just in it for the money or fame.

[LadyPain]

I'm psychic. I believe there's a lot of potential out there if one is willing to tap into it. I read runes and tarot cards when I am feeling brave enough to take the straight truth. The cards haven't lied yet and they can be frighteningly accurate when I pull a spread, so I don't tend to do that often. I'd rather go through life with some mystery. I have done pendulum work, as well.

I've seen deaths before they have happened and have had many other instances of clairvoyance. I have exhibited a moderate level of telekinetic ability when under stress in the past, with witnesses to it. The look on their faces was priceless. I can also remote view. I try not to do that without permission because it feels like an invasion of privacy if I look into someone else's life.

I have the spooky ability to find things, even if I don't know what it is. My husband can come up to me and tell me he can't find something. I will turn and point and ask if that is what he is looking for. It can be some weird little thing and we can be in the basement which is full of junk and I will still point at whatever it is he can't find. I still don't know what some of those things I have found for him are.

Yeah. I have found it to be real. There is so much potential out there if you A) believe, and B) have some innate ability.

I have never asked for money when people have asked for answers.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

There's no doubt that it's an area littered with the worst of charlatans, whores and comic singers but that doesn't alter anything IMO

The power of the human mind is little understood and we're at the 'Flat Earth' stage if you like.

Magic is only science that hasn't been discovered yet IMO.

Aaaaa! Sylvia Browne!!! Please take those awful finger nails away from me!!! Now I do agree about "paid psychics" most of them are in it for the money. If they had any skills, most of them I think lose them when they use them for greed. Sylvia Browne, I'll never forget seeing the video in which she told the parents of a missing boy that he was dead. She didn't even flinch, or show emotion whatsoever. If that had been me, in her shoes, I would have been crying, and upset that I had to say such words to anyone. Then, low and behold, that boy was NOT dead!! What a charlatan she is and I'll be the first one to point the finger at her and call her a few choice names. If she ever had any skills, she's lost them to greed. And argh!! Those fingernails!!! Give me a pair of clippers and I'll fix her, for sure!!

Now those are not the type of psychics I've worked with. I've been in this field for over 20 years, and I have to claim that I have some "skills" that I have no control over. They just happen. When I least expect it, I have to expect it, LOL! The people I've worked with never asked for money for what they did and they even told me things I didn't know about myself, for instance one such psychic told me "the beat of more than one tribe beats in your blood, possibly two tribes." I didn't even know it, but on my grandfather's side I carry the blood of Iroquios and Blackfoot Indians. Wow! I was amazed! I went on to try different experiments with many of these people. Some of them can make pictures flash through my mind, touch me from a distance by astral travel and tell me things I didn't know. Those people speak from their hearts and want to do good, they don't want money. One person, who is the most powerful empath I've ever met, tried hard to do a reading. She has MS and the last time she did a reading it overtaxed her. She ended up in the hospital blind. Yet she wanted so desperately to do that reading for that person, she tried to do it, no matter the consequences. Those are the type of psychics that rock my world. The kind that make me believe science needs to catch up to that amazing tool, the human mind!

Thanks for rocking my world guys, I love the input! I knew Stephen King fans would give me quite a bit of input on this subject! :)

[aneaglesangel]

Ooo pendulums! Don't even get me into that! A pendulum is my new toy I'm experimenting with. I use it before an investigation and ask it questions pertaining to the haunting. I also used a forum (one of my haunted ones) to ask people to give me yes and no questions to ask the pendulum. The only one it got wrong was a baby's due date and that may have been because I should have used a different method, for instance holding it over a calendar rather than asking it day by day. When I do the research, or review the evidence I usually find my new little toy was right!

[Bryan James]

Most that have done "it" don't want to do "it" ever again. Especially not for a ****ing television show.

[Srbo]

Well, I believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, UFO`s and many things more...

And they do exist..I don`t care if your going to say " right dude, they do...but only in your mind "

...but hey, it`s my mind and it`s all true in there...:laugh:

So, why not that ?

[aneaglesangel]

To me, there are answers in science. I believe so much in string theory. I think of it like this, take a gifted human brain and then attach it to all the strings that connect the universe, all the dimensions, the past, the future and what do you get? Lots and lots of phenomena that we don't have answers to yet. I'll be the first one to admit that I don't have answers, but I keep searching. It would probably take a whole book to lay down all of the experiences I've had myself (which is in progress) and then another one to get all the experiences I've shared with these psychics. Fascinating stuff! But do I have an explanation for you? Nope, not even close! Ideas...theories, plenty of them, but nope, not one darn solid answer for you! I don't think we have the science yet. But I like someone's reply. Magic is just science we haven't learned yet! Awesome point!!

[JohnDalglish]

not one darn solid answer for you! I don't think we have the science yet. But I like someone's reply. Magic is just science we haven't learned yet! Awesome point!!

Hi,

And personally I don't think we ever will, some questions should remain unanswered.

And thankee about the quote.

I had a premonition of my father's death which came true. It was a very matter of fact thing, didn't cause me distress, and carried with it a feeling of absolute certainty. I was so sure it would happen I didn't bother packing a lunch to work that day, I knew I would be called off the job before lunch. When the boss man pulled up at the work site I just walked over and got in the back seat, he was pretty startled that I knew what was up.

Haven't had any since, and thats been 30 years.

I don't think its wise to base one's life around this sort of thing, but I don't have a good reason for that. Just a feeling.

[aneaglesangel]

Sorry to hear about your father! (I don't believe we ever lose the ones we love!)

I had a similar experience. But also, there was a little girl that I once was. A girl who kept telling herself she was crazy. One who kept a dirty little secret for a very long time. Finally the secret came out when other people started experiencing the same things she'd experienced for so long. Once upon a time, that same little girl grew to be a woman, and she made a couple promises to herself. One of them was that I would never fear these things again. The other was that I would make sure no other child had to live like I did, that I would search and find answers, and help those people in need. I'm trying to do just that. I guess, yeah, I'm obsessed, LOL!

I did have a similar experience involving my father's death. I was about 8 at the time. I just knew my father was going to die before I turned 18. The dream I had that made me believe it didn't make any sense though. All it was, was a splash of black on a tan background. It made sense when it came to be. At the funeral, my sister was crying. Her tear fell and splashed on my father's tan suit. It had mascara in it and made a black splash on it. There was the dream. I left the wake crying, I didn't know what else to do. When faced again with that image, it was so hard to look at. Even though I'd seen it and known what it meant so many years ago. Another traumatic event I never knew what it was. Sparkly stuff, a rust colored something a big dark thing to my left. When I came to be, I almost lost it. For it was a car accident. One I'd seen coming 2 weeks prior to the event, but couldn't make out what those pictures were, they seemed so familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. The sparkly stuff, the windshield broken with rain running down, the rust colored thing, the door wrapped around the telephone pole, the big dark thing, the telephone pole itself. I lost my boyfriend in that accident, he died saving my life. Sad yes, but examples of what I've lived with, and how hard it was. I don't want others to feel the pain that I've felt and being a paranormal investigator puts me on the cutting edge of finding answers, and maybe if I help just one person, it will all be worth it!

[Dana Jean]

I can't stand Syliva Browne. I do believe there are psychics who know things--paid or not paid. But, I've watched Sylvia a handful of times on the Montel Williams show and I think she is cold and ruthless.

She preys upon someone's vulnerability at a time when they are very susceptible and desperately missing someone and aching for some kind of contact. I think it's criminal and despicable.

I'd punch her in the mouth for 2 dollars and 63 cents, a bag of sour skittles and a Bumpit.

Actually, I'd punch her in the mouth using a nearby child for free.

[Roseasharn]

I have some ability. As I've grown older and ceased to use it actively, it has gotten weaker so that now it more resembles extremely accurate intuition. And I think "intuition", which we as a society seem to give some validity, is just latent psychic ability.
I think it all has to do with energy. I'm pretty sure that's all it is. I think it could be proven.
I think the reading of people has to do with experiencing and reading their energy rather than what they say. You can lie, but the essence of what you are probably can't. Especially since you're pretty much unaware of it.
I think hauntings are just left over energy and energy we feed it with our attention and/or fear. And I think that what you feed it has a lot to do with what it becomes.
I'm really not sure if it is possible to communicate with the dead. I also don't necessarily approve of trying to communicate with the dead if it is possible. Anything could tell you it was anyone. I'm pretty sure there are bad things out there. And so, I don't even try.
Remote viewing is outside my realm of experience, so I have no idea where that comes from. But again, it probably still has to do with energy.
I have these "intuitive" experiences with people. Sometimes with places, if what is left over is strong enough. I very rarely see anything of the "future" and I lose things just like other people and can't find them. I have only ever seen something that I couldn't explain as a left over energy one time and I hope I never, ever see it again. As far as I could tell, it was absolutely never human. That thing is where my being pretty sure there are bad things out there comes from. I don't even like thinking about it. All in all, its a pretty limited gift. But it works out pretty well, as far as my safety goes. Honestly, I think it could all be proven and explained if people would quit laughing behind their hands about it. I think there is a completely logical explanation.

[aneaglesangel]

People like Sylvia Browne are the reason people laugh at it. I've got $2.63, can I have photos of you punching her?? Intuition to me is a natural human trait, and I think it was more prevalent when we needed it more. Nowadays, many of our latent abilities are shut off by the world around us. So much input, why listen to those little ideas in our head? I do believe string theory comes close, for if we are attached to everything by those strings, isn't it so much easier to envision touching upon things that haven't come to be yet? It's very hard to get a point across, LOL, I'm limited to how much yapping I can do.

About residual energy, yes I believe in that, but I also believe in aware spirits. I have a few examples here in the "Metacomet' thread. On my other computer I have tons of files in which aware spirits answer questions, or call me or my partner by name. With the Metacomet thread, they are Wampanoag Indians, so I learned some of the language to communicate with them. I was using the word "neetomp" which I understood to mean friend. I recorded the word "keetompoag" which is the word for "friend" or "kinsman" in the language. There's another audio clip there where they say "very pretty" well I take it as a compliment, we are two women after all. To me, that makes for an aware spirit that can see, hear and interact with us. I have many more examples of aware spirits filling up the hard drive on my other computer. An example of a residual was the location of a fire. I recorded terrible screaming. I think that was a residual of the burning to death of a person. It's terribly chilling to hear, and I can only hope that the spirit is not trapped, replaying that event. I pray it's a residual. But like I say, I don't have all the answers, I can only keep going and hope that in the end, maybe I can help a few people to deal with these things! (And yes, I could go on...if only I had more space, LOL! But do take a listen to the audio if you have a chance.)

[mojomofo]

Sure. While I am sure I am the equivalent of a null, I can't discount others having abilities I don't. Just like everything else, there are those that can do things others cannot.

[tempest]

I guess I would like to believe and that is Nostradamus fault :smile2: Mostly it is the human minds mysteries that allow me a little faith.

I believe with brain injury, drugs and experimenting below iceberg tip "subconscious" that people can develop or become aware of things. SK stories the Dead Zone and Firestarter seem possible to me.

I do not think medicine has conquered a complete understanding of the human brain.

[Butterfly06]

Yes I do believe in psychics because I have experienced it myself. I have had dreams that were very detailed and then came true. These dreams are different than my other dreams. It is scary at first but I have learned that I have them for a reason. I also have the disbelievers but this also I have learned to live with. Some have told me that these dreams are the work of the devil, but one of my dreams saved my mothers life, she had breast cancer, and I see that as the work of an angel.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

A good friend of my granny's was the last person to be tried in the UK for witchcraft, many people think that the witch trials happened long ago but this isn't the case, Helen Duncan was hounded to her death in the 1940's and 50's despite the best efforts of Winston Churchill (himself a Druid) to save her.

I never met her but according to my gran (who REALLY knew what she was talking about!) Helen Duncan was 100% genuine, and her family are fighting to clear her name to this day, and it's worth following the links to their web site if you're interested in this kind of stuff.

Helen Duncan

Long days and pleasant nights

[aneaglesangel]

Oh! Witches! Our first episode of Paranormal Travels is in Salem! It's so sad! Those people weren't witches, they were people who had something that others wanted (if you were convicted as a witch, they took your property) or had an enemy who wanted them dead. One person was "pressed to death" and boards were put on top of him and then they kept adding stones until he died. Lucky for him, he'd left his property to a relative, so they didn't get his property after death, so he won in the end. The biggest thing that affected me was that all of them were willing to die. All they had to do was admit they were witches and they could have lived, none of them would do it. They died because they stood up for what they believed in. They weren't witches and they damned well wouldn't say there were! For me it will never be the fear of witchcraft that took the lives of those people, it was greed.

Good news! The "Cult Cop" Al Alves has already called me and wants to meet on Monday. He left the police force after the mess that was made of the investigation into the "Cult Murders" back in the 70's and is now a hypnotist. I've heard him on the radio show I work with Spooky Southcoast and he really sounds like a nice guy, though I've never met him and I'm hoping he can help me out. I've told him a bit of the story and what's going on, so if he still thinks he can help after he sees the pictures and hears the audio and the full story, then I'm going for it!

Another break is that out of the blue, a "psychic" person has entered the scene. He's been giving me some advice on some new protections. I've actually had a night's rest without those nasty buggers waking me up every hour on the hour! I don't know where he came from, and I don't even want to know, I'm considering him an angel. An angel from California, go figure, LOL! Thanks guys so much!! I really love the input here and enjoy reading all the threads here! You guys make my day! :love:

[aneaglesangel]

Aah butterfly, you have precognitive dreams too, eh? Yup, I get em too. Yes, they are different from ordinary dreams for me. I always know them. They come in "flashes" rather than as moving pictures the way the rest of my dreams go. I'm wondering are you a very vivid dreamer when you have "normal" dreams? Like always in techni-color, long, very detailed dreams? Just curious and I try to ask people these questions when I find people who have precognitive dreams. I do believe there is a link for people who have similar episodes and I'd like to help find the key!

[Butterfly06]

I went to your web site on Helen Duncan and it was interesting. I think those who do not understand a psychics abilities become scared that they are evil. They do not see it as any thing good. I know myself with my experiences that what I see is real and has showed nothing but good. I myself am not evil but a good person who believes that if you do good that is what is returned to you 10 folds. If some one would really look into witch craft they would see that much of our medicines, how we cook with herbs, gardening, are from what they called in the olden days, witch craft.

[aneaglesangel]

It's sad about Helen! And I find it odd! I know many investigators in the UK and they do things a bit differently than here in the US. Here we rely much more on equipment than the psychic senses. Over there, they rely more heavily on mediums and psychic senses and many churches do public readings where a psychic stands up and people can get readings from them. I'm shocked to think that poor Helen was only born a few years shy of when the country accepted all of this. It seems to me as if the UK embraces the paranormal much more easily than the US does and it's a shame she was born a bit before her time. Nowadays she would be readily accepted and probably would be part of a paranormal team, or maybe standing up doing readings for people in a church somewhere!

[youngfibre]

If a male is the first human specie i see on my way out of the house i know something is not well with where i am going to, might be something simple like -they aint home- but it might also be that the person is dead. If i go back home wait a while and come out again meet a male i know its for real but if i now meet a female it means whatever has happened can be repaired (person is seriously sick but will live, out but on their way home)
There is this pain and fear in my heart as i continue on the journey that tells me the severity of what has happened.
My Mum had it too. Does this make us psychics?:eyebrow:

[Mr Nobody]

One thing I have learned about people with 'strange abilities' is that they mostly don't want them. I wouldn't believe these TV show folks if they told me grass was green.
For myself...my aunt's had several incidents that would be called psychic, even though she doesn't regard herself as one; my sis is sensitive (as was our grandmother), and I've picked up on things/presences (always feels like a weight, like foreboding and even mild depression to me, and it goes again when I leave the location so it's not my mental state! lol). I also have prescient dreams, but can never quite remember how they end, good or bad. The result of this is, I'm going along, something twigs, and I'll just freeze and go right on edge, just in case it was a bad situation I'd 'seen'.

Am I mental? Couldn't tell you. All I do know for sure is that we think we're the at the height of civilization and knowledge, but we don't really know the tenth part of all that is out there.

[aneaglesangel]

I have found that the range and variations of how psychic skills run in humans is incredible. I can not explain how this can be, other than that it sometimes just runs in families to have certain skills with certain things. Some of the people that I interviewed or worked with, or experimented with sometimes had explanations for why it occurred. I really can't say that I have one as of yet. I do believe it is a hereditary trait in many cases, but I've also found that you can have one prodigy in a family where were no known skills that anyone knew of. This is not to say that maybe someone didn't know or never told of skills they had.

For instance, I have a wide variety of skills that I have no control over. Maybe my ancestors could claim them. I don't know, my mother, grandmother, sisters, have never told me of things like I claim ever occurring. Maybe they never admitted to them, I don't know. Maybe I'm just different because of my spinal issues and am the only one who can claim these skills, yet my sons show skills similar to mine. It seems strongly hereditary in my case, two out of two isn't bad in my sons' cases.

But then I turn to the Native American blood I carry. Something dawned on me this weekend. What have I done? How did I meet April? I walked the dream world baby!! That seems a bit Native American to me! Maybe that is why I did it in the first place. I'm hoping to connect with the Wampanoags this weekend. Weather and reservations permitting I'm going to a Powwow! Maybe there lies my answer. Maybe it's something in my blood. Something passed by my blood that I didn't know I possessed. Maybe they can tell me something I need to know. We'll see...

I also have the appointment this afternoon with the hypnotist, we'll see what comes of that! Keep your fingers crossed! Thanks for the input, I love when people make me think and explore places I wouldn't go. For the words here made me search my soul a little harder this weekend and I saw things I should have seen a long time ago. Each person has a path to walk. I've just got to walk mine! Hugs! :love:

[aneaglesangel]

Hi mr nobody! Didn't see your post before! No, I don't think you're mental at all! If so, there's lots of mental people running around! Many people have the same types of dreams that you do, I've even had them. Probably the reason you're not remembering the ends of them is because you don't wake up right away. I only remember mine more clearly is because they are different from regular dreams and are still pictures that appear in flashes. Almost like they were meant to be noted and remembered. I also think that mine occur because of seizures caused by my spinal issue. I hit nerves in other words and I think well, there's no end to how it can affect me. For you it must be frustrating, for you never know how the situation is going to play out, you only know something is coming and it's begun. I usually at least know if something is good or bad by the tone of the picture, I just usually don't know when and it can be confusing if I don't get a whole picture or can't understand what I'm seeing, which has happened often enough.

I think many people can sense spirits or even what other people are feeling and don't even realize this is what they're doing. For people who don't understand, imagine how it must make them feel! Be glad that at least you know what's going on. Remember this too, so it can help to make you feel better. Sometimes you probably pick up on energies that have passed already, that don't really exist anymore, but linger. That may help when you are somewhere and can feel something. It's not necessarily always something that is there right at that moment. It can be a hard thing to live with, I can't imagine having it all the time and am glad I don't! Some people are like sponges and can't shut it off ever.

And you are right. Many living with these skills, really don't want them. They wish that they could live like others do and not have to feel things that are outside of themselves, but hurt just as if they were a very part of them. They're not on TV or making money doing it. They're working slobs just like everyone else. But when the chips are down, they come out and they really do good. You just never hear about them, they're not famous. Once they come out, hiding behind a screen name, they go back to being nobodies. Trying to block out all the energies and feeling that bombard them. I know because many of them I call friends!

[JohnDalglish]

My Mum had it too. Does this make us psychics?:eyebrow:

Hi,

Short answer - 'Yes'.

Virtually every human has 'psychic potential' IMO and I'm willing to bet that everyone reading this has had at least one inexplicable so-called 'paranormal' experience in their life.

Long days and pleasant nights

[wisewitch]

I do believe, although I've never met anyone with psychic skills (but I'd love to).

:wink2:

[Lily Sawyer]

You're on an island off the coast of Canada, are psychic, and have adopted a cybertag called "LadyPain". Tell me I'm crazy if you're not a great subject for a King novel. Seriously.

I am no Scully; I believe in psychics. Don't we use only 20% of our brain's capacity on a routine basis? Like assuming Earth is the only planet in the universe with sustainable life, it is the height of arrogance to assume humans don't have paranormal abilities.

[aneaglesangel]

Some people believe it was those other planets who put these abilities in us, LOL! Many believe that the aliens have a lot to do with us even evolving into thinking beings. I have a friend who runs a support group for alien abductees. You'll be able to see my friends from that on an upcoming 20/20 episode. They're actually doing some great work out there with people. But one of the founders believes that alien DNA is a part of us. She thinks they really do steal our eggs and do experiments on the children they make with us. It all sounds so strange and sci-fi to me, but I can't rule anything out, I really don't know and who am I to say what the aliens do? Maybe all of us with psychic abilities just have a little alien in us? LOL!

I have to say, the hypnotism was interesting to say the least. I'm still overwhelmed by everything that happened. I haven't gotten to April yet but I must say it's like intense therapy. It is also nothing at all like what I was expecting. Due to the fact that I'm a single, disabled mother, and the nature of what's going on he's doing it for free. He does think he can help me and I swear he's throwing in a few extras while he's at it, LOL! Yesterday for the trial to see how well I go under we went to the "gray room" and in there we found all the red and white papers of my life. The white are the positive things in my life. The red, the negative things. In the center of the gray room, a black bottomless pit. When he gave me permission to go around and have at those red papers and throw them down the bottomless hole, I had at them! I remember him saying if I needed help I could call him. Inside I was laughing, I don't need help. I was grabbing up armloads and running to throw them away. It seemed quite a long time before I raised up my "yes finger" to signal that I'd thrown them all away. I was aware and remember everything. I can only hope that when I go deeper I remember everything again! This was awesome though! If anyone needs a hypnotist, I know one and he's a great one!! WOOOOT!!!!

Only thing I know for sure is I'm going to have to bring my special pillows. I'm in a lot of pain today and can only think that I went so relaxed without my pillows there was nothing to support my spine and that's bad news. Ouch!

But hugs guys, this was interesting. I don't know how much I can tell you about here when it's over. It might have to be saved for my book. But at least you know I am getting help and soon I think it will be over! Hugs!

[Charms7]

I'm holding you in prayer. I hope you feel better very soon, aneaglesangel.

[aneaglesangel]

I learned some things yesterday! One thing was that there is a psychological basis for why the power of positive thinking works. If we believe, we CAN make things happen! I'm always finding these little places (like here) where I get inspired by things I see people do. How they reach out to others, have words of wisdom fall off their fingers. Those little beams of light in the darkness sometimes mean the very world to me I want you all to know. Sometimes the wind of ka blows and you find yourself in the very right place at the very right time. It's amazing! Thanks charms! Hugs coming at you!

[BlackThorn]

One of my good friends once told me, the psychics were out to get him. He was under the assumption, that the psychics that ran the 1-900 number scheme, were combining their efforts to send bad ju-ju against him. I think they were speaking to him directly through the commercials or something.

This friend offered me a wonderful view at delusional schizophrenia. So other than wacky 80's movies involving police detective services... I can't say much about psychic ability. Although it makes more than perfect sense in the scheme of evolution. Telepathic flashes, like feeling bad enough to not get on a plane that is about to blow up (a haunting statistic for as long as those statistics have been traceable is how many people decide NOT to get on a flight that is destined to blow up).

Wow, is it bad to have a sudden urge to play 'Millennium'? (1980's B-movie reference) However, the whole scene would be fairly easy to fabricate, quite honestly. I could play as sick as I really was, hell, I'd even get sick I was playing sick so hard. So it would have to be an art that had serious production value to invest stock into it. If that's ever the case, I'd say every police station should have a psychic contact. Like in the other 1980's movie, 'Runaway', where Tom Selleck and his moustache try to fight the evil forces of Gene Simmons! The psychic tells him his name must be... Lucifer, or... Luther. His name is Luther. You two are close... you were brothers in another life... ;) I loved the way the Sargent was the one who ordered the psychic visit. That part rocked.

ok, Im all into paranormal stuff, but to me psychics (unless spectacular, know your name etc before you even called/visited/cancelled) are just normal people that have tuned in better to their 6th sense. We all have it. We feel dread, happiness, moods,
expectations, sometimes for no apparent reason...the psychics are just the ones that have it sussed to a degree that not only do they feel their own moods/fate/outcomes but they can also feel other peoples moods/fate/outcomes .. You tell me the name of one "psychic" that has won lotto... :)

See I don't look at psychics in one category anymore. Yes, there are the psychics that I know who've helped police stations. One of my good friends and partner for the TV show recently helped find a body, and told them the circumstances leading up to the death. Most police stations won't listen or employ the help of a psychic, they just don't trust them. Over my time in this field I've experienced quite a bit of the skills "psychics" can do. Sometimes it's being able to send smells, sounds, pictures to my head. Once I was even touched by one of the subjects of my study, that freaked me out! This person was 1000 miles away and touched me on my right shoulder. I've had them "read" me and many times they told me things I didn't know about myself, such as the fact that I carry Native American blood. Most of the time though it's the simple, send a picture to my head type deal. Then we have prophetic dreamers, which I can claim to be. Empaths, who feel things others can't, maybe from people, maybe from psychic energy left over in a place. Some can touch objects or look at a picture and tell you everything and anything you want to know about it. Some just get these feelings about something, like a hunch and will warn you or tell you about it, or maybe they won't because they are afraid to, as I used to be.

You see people look at them with jaded eyes. They think they are fakes or want something back for their skills. Many times, this is not the case. Not one person I've worked with over the years has ever asked me for anything in return. Well, other than for my heart to heal, for me to feel better, to walk tall, knowing that I'm one of them. I can't really claim to be one of them, for I can't say, OK, I'm going to read this building right now. My skills don't work that way. The skills I have either come and overwhelm me, or they don't happen at all. I've shown up places thousands of miles away, in astral form, while I'm home sleeping, not even knowing that I've left my body.

There is more to these skills than meets the eye at first glance. No, you don't see psychics running around winning the lottery. Why? Well, I don't know for sure, but I think that would be against the rules in a way. Sort of like the way Sylvia Browne hit the lottery using people for greed and money. Did she have skills at one time? Probably. But using them for greed I think takes them away. Is there balance in the universe? Yes, I believe there is and once you cross over into the dark side you lose the gifts given by the light. Are there psychics who could pull the lottery numbers out of their heads? Probably. Why don't they? Probably because they know, or think it is wrong to do that. Would they think twice about warning me of impending danger? No, for they do it all the time. Many of them are worried now, for many know what I'm facing now and are afraid for me.

But in the end most of these people have lived in a society where they have learned to be ashamed of what they are. I don't want to see this go on. I want to see the world change. In big ways. Not only do I want humans to realize they have souls. That negative entities exist. But I want people to accept the skills that some of us are born with and can't help, just as some are born with brown eyes, or blue, some are born this way and can't do a damned thing about it. Surgery can give you a new nose, a new tummy, but it can't take off your psychic. For some who can't shut it down, life can be a living hell. And one where no one is ready to support you, for you're just a psychic freak! (Think Carrie, think Firestarter. Did people accept them and love them? Not even sweet little Charlie was looked upon with love when she turned on the fire.) Psychics are not freaks like the characters in books, yet they are treated that way. Not one of them can help what they can do, yet they are ostracized in society. I'm about to make myself a character in a book, but one thing I hope as people read and begin to know that character. I never asked for any of this. I'm just a person. I'd like to be "normal" like all the rest of the world. I can't and I never will be. I can live with that now, but as child, all I felt, all I knew, was that I must be insane. It's a horrible way to live and grow and I'm thankful I'm in one piece and maybe it made me what I am. But for me I don't want to see another person like me alone floundering in the darkness. Different and not know where to go, longing to be the same.

I wish you guys could meet a "real" psychic, but you probably already know many. They just won't tell you. For if they do, they know, you'll suddenly look at them very differently!
