What makes a psychic?

So,.. who else wants to fess up and share their story of how they found out, they had the 'gift' ?

I personally don't have the gift, but my SO sure does. She has what I refer to as "mojo" majic, precognition etc.

I'm a semi pro Holdem player in the Indian Casino here in the SW. She has proven to me time and time again when I'm in a winning mode and when I should stay home. When she accompanies me to the casino, my luck and winning is almost assured.

I don't question or debate that there is some kind of power available to those people attuned to such things.
Skeptics and naysayers are certainly entitled to their opinion; they also happen to be wrong!!

oops............

I'd like to chime in on this! I'm going to share a very real experience that to this day has left me rattled and open to the possibilities of the unknown.

While I say this with much reserve I will detail exactly what happened to me, I am a very skeptical person and as such would expect you to also have your doubts! Here goes-

Roughly 8 1/2 yrs ago I used to be a Sales and Leasing Consultant for a Ford Dealership in the Southern California area. A typical busy day after having sold a vehicle one of my peers invited me to go to lunch (Subway). My co-worker offered to drive. As we were headed to the restaurant we were talking business and at the same time he was filtering through the different radio stations when he finally landed on one he liked. As we were talking a song came on the radio U-2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for!" I remember singing it in my head because it was a catchy tune. We finally arrived at Subway got out of the car and promptly headed to make line. As such the line was extremely long as expected during lunch hour. I remember seeing the line and looking at all the patrons when all of a sudden from all the bunch I noticed three odd looking girls dressed in gothic black, long black hair, black nails, black lipstick the works. They were at the front of the line. I waited in line with my co-worker for what seemed a couple of minutes when I decided to take a cigarette break outside, while my co-worker progressed through the line. I was standing on the side walk facing the parking lot enjoying my cigarette and quietness with my back against the restaurant. The song I had heard in the car popped into my head and I was singing in my mind. I heard the door open and turned my head to glance and it was the three gothic girls exiting. They walked away normally for about 10 steps, yes I was watching them, who wouldn't look, the way they looked, needless to say one of them stopped in their tracks the other followed suit they turned around stared me straight in the eyes, paused for what seemed minutes but more accurately seconds and finally one broke loose and sang "I still haven't found what I'm looking for!" All the girls laughed, I damn near pissed myself!!!! I immediately ran in the restaurant to see if they had a radio playing somewhere, ran back out to see if perhaps music was playing yet I knew everything was quiet and my back was facing the restaurant and most importantly the song was in my mind and I didn't even move my lips. From that point forward my day was shot, I felt violated to a certain extent to think that people out there actually possess the power to read your mind. I don't feel comfortable telling this story at all around my family or friends because of how absurd it seems, but let me tell you this is as real as it gets! You'll never know the feeling I'm referring to until it happens to you-

My brother works at an elite casino in Canada. I won't say his position ( which is high) or his location to protect him, but he is lucky enough to meet a lot of celebrities.

Anyways, he would sometimes walk by a table he has to supervise and tell the 'special ' guests aka famous actors (like one of the actors from 'Game of Thrones") whether they should take a break or continue, this 'seeing' gift runs in our family. It goes back all the way to our ancestors in Ireland, Hungary and also in ancient Greece. (yes, we traveled a lot.).

I use my seeing gift every day since I was a little girl, but my little brother has just recently started listening/seeing it and using it.

It def. is something you inherit from your family tree, if they were practicing it throughout the centuries.

Thanks for stepping up and sharing your story RobertDeniro

I have often wondered the same thing. I believe it's a true talent (gift), but like everything else there are more false then righteous.
