My great grandmother was a 'psychic' to the point where she read tea leaves, had a crystal ball, and the like. She had specific tea mugs (is that the term?) with designs on it to correlate what the tea leaves meant. She had an ability (which my grandfather believes 100% to be true) where she would be able to think about someone and then they would call her later that day. Even if they haven't talked in years.

She had a premonition of my great-grandfather's death. Where she would come out of the bedroom to find him reading the newspaper. However instead of seeing his body she saw a skeleton. She freaked out and ran to the back portch. There she saw the big oak tree cut down with a coffin on top of the stump.

The next week, he died in a steel mill accident and the neighbors cut down the tree for their plants in their garden to grow. And they put his coffin during the funeral on the stump.

If you're truly interested in 'psychic' phenomena and wish to further intrigue yourself, I'll provide a short summary of what I do. First, I work in intelligence for the U.S. Air Force. It was here, I was first introduced to "Remote Viewing". At the time, I knew it was just something the guys in our field dabbled with a bit. Sort of like a side hobby. However, they took it very serious. So, I gave in and learned a little more about it... I've met a few people who used to work in what the military called the STARGATE project. They gave me their opinions and life experiences dealing with RV. Now, after several years, I have come to my own personal opinion that the remote viewing that is being instructed by Major Ed Dames (regardless, I think he isn't the most talented, but nonetheless the best at instructing) is a more evolved, stable system of remote viewing. I personally have had an incredible amount of success through using RV. I use it for sports betting, finding lost items, and with my own RV group; we do projects such as trying to pinpoint the time of a next global catastrophe that will be on the news, fun stuff like that.
Now, what is RV, you are probably wondering. If you don't want my brief explanation, you can go to http://www.learnrv.com/ thereafter, http://rvcommunity.net/ to practice and hone your skills, get direct feedback from the most professional team that exists. (Their B team guys have made national news worthy finds... A team makes about 100k each visit to vegas..)
RV is well, the way I look at it these days. You learn how to direct your mind or your conscious mind towards a specific target whether it be anywhere in time or space. First, you may wonder what the difference between an RV student and a "natural psychic" or whatever you call them is.. the difference is RV uses a set process of collecting the information. We know how to identify what is good information and what is horseshit imagination etc. It's a filter more or less. In a team, we can be 100% accurate.. and I promise you, we are.. RV was a program developed by the military and it was used in every part of the government and all agencies you could possibly think of. Most would be astounded by the success it had.. but it means nothing until you have your own success. For me, my success was a result of locating my mother when she was kidnapped and lined up against a fence for people who were brutally executed. It was more than just a fun project or some random information gathering project. You can know anything. Literally. We do projects like stuff about the pyramids construction to verifying history, to even deciphering ancient languages that have not yet been decoded (one of my favorites). When I receive a little information about something above my clearance in the AF, I remote view it. That's exciting.
If you have any questions, PM me. It could save a life.

I would recommend you reading Derren Brown's book "Tricks of the Mind" where he discusses bad thinking and that psychic power indeed does not exist. Also, watch Derren Brown The Messiah on youtube, to watch him get sponsored by many psychic related firms despite not having any psychic abilities, or mind reading capabilities. Psychic powers and mind reading most likely do not exist. Also, coincidences are common, and understanding probability is vital before making claims that alternative energies were responsible for phenomenal events.

The compilation of anecdotes is nice, thanks TL.

Hopefully I can get around to reading "tricks of the mind" I'll definitely keep an eye out.

Remote viewing I've come across on wikipedia and the stories there seemed to point to a failure. I'm watching but I'm still skeptical.

To give you an idea on how real this stuff is.
There is a prize awarded for anyone who can prove they can do anything supernatural, psychics, dowsing and what not. If you can prove it in a scientific test with controls, you get a million dollars.

Guess what?
Noone actually won the prize despite the crapload of people applying.

You do realize Jung and the early psychologists were mainly full of shit right?

It's coincidence and conformation bias with bad probability, instead of thinking of the things that happened within your dreams, think about what didnt happen or how many ways they can be interpreted vaguely.

Here is a nice video explaining this

That was an amazing video. Were the clouds fake or formed by an airplane?

I love how TL is being very rational about this subject. We're so smart...
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I think the whole problem here is you're actively looking to find something remarkable. It's not a matter of 'believing in coincidence', it's the complete lack of controlled experimental evidence or reproducibility of these psychic claims, as well as no hypothetical mechanisms of their action that fit into the framework of evidence-based science.
Maybe look into some more recent neuroscience and cognitive psychology publications (from this decade) so you can better understand the field you're trying to fit psychic phenomena into.

Arggh that video is nice, but wrong in his dice analogy. Rolling an infinite number of die would not have a "very great probability" of writing the works of Shakespeare, it would happen an infinite number of times.

My search on this website found me "grey matter" which is a series of lectures at university of san diego, i watched all of them and im subscribing to scientific mind america and honestly they are doing really really well with MRI's and stuff, but this is still very far from intersecting into psychology.

As for coincidence, to be honest i don't really buy it, thats my personal philosophy though, I think every thing is connected and that the connections are soemtimes just hard to find.

I didn't go out looking for these things to happen I started out just as skeptical as the rest of them, but recreational drugs really set me out of the "operating system" that is culture and i realized that so many things are being filtered right out because of mere culture. I just wanted some interesting discussion here, and for the most part i got it.

I'm also thankful for the reality check, i admit I am getting a bit spacey, but who knows where it can lead.

I admit such phenomenon could exist, but I like to ground my decisions upon the most probable explanation- and that makes a firm realist, I think. :p

The recently appearing red mod text popping up in the OP.

Could this possibly be the newly made moderator Rage showing off his prowess? Hi Rage

I'm a huge skeptic, while I've had some weird stuff happen to me too.
I know that deep inside of you there's a humongous set of testicles just waiting to pop out. Let 'em pop bro. //////////////////// AKA JensOfSweden // Lee Yoon Yeol forever.

The challenge is not meant to be won. First, there was a group of cryptologists that did in fact solve a puzzle Randi said if it could be solved, then a million dollars would be awarded. The show was never aired and the couple never received compensation. His rules are extremely strict and not "anyone" can apply. You'll notice in his fine print for example, just anyone who has practiced any Tibetan monk practices is not allowed to participate. Not only this, but they do a prescreening test. You must be able to perform the feat to a point they will agree you deserve an opportunity to showcase it. This means if you are able to truly do it in the first show, chances are, you will not be on the actual "show" or be able to actually demonstrate it. If I find the time, I'll try to find it. There is a list of people who do amazing things whose applications were rejected. Some had the intentions of doing it just to donate the money to charity.

No, there's a non-zero (but very close to zero) probability of an infinite number of rolls not writing the works of Shakespeare hence there is a "very great probability" of it happening once or more.
