Psychics

[ThrobbingEgo]

If people actually had psychic powers, I'd hope they'd have something better to do with them than freak out stoned teens.

i don't think any of them were stoned, but thats debateable

Cool story bro. Tell her to get in touch with James Randi, so she can make an easy million.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

Maybe she was using google maps?

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Lolz mabye google maps. but then she'd have to know where they live anyway. and didn't she also explain heaps of other sh*t too?

 

[tthor]

Psychics do not exist. Ever.

then please help me understand what had happened there

You said you were at a fair right? well right there, it is probably a cleverly done elaborate plan they have done, although what you have seen and told is actually if real, incomprehensibly frightening, think about it.

If this woman could see into such detail because she was a psychic that is very unnerving and would mean she could see a whole lot more.

If she has strong connections to people in the area that were willing to look at the boys house... freaky

The last logical explanation I can find is..... YOU'RE A LIAR!!!

The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, and my theory is that either she knows the area well, he secretly knows the boy and her good ability to recall certain locations in descriptive detail can be mistaken as a psychic power, or that the entire thing is a hoax and the boy's playing his part of the act.

That, or your story is not even true.

the boy being part of the scam is unlikely, because A: my friend knows him very well, and would probably be able to tell if he was lieing, and B: he was truly fucking scared; few actors, let alone average teenagers, could ever pull that good of acting off. and it wasn't just locations the woman described, but also some of the person's actions. and I know this story is true, thats all that matters to me. if you don't believe me, I don't give a damn, cus it doesn't change the fact that i saw this, and it still makes no sense to me

i can't blame you for coming to that conclusion, but i know i am telling the truth, and i know this still makes no sense to me. I'm just hoping someone can explain this to me. it is freaky

Maybe she was using google maps?

Maybe she checked their facebook?

The boy wasn't in on it. It was staged by his friends to scare the crap out of him, you just got sucked in by accident.

"But as far as I can logically tell, this woman was psychic..."

You're a "man of science" and you're only logical conclusion is that she's psychic? /facepalm

They don't exist.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

Maybe she was using google maps?

Maybe she checked their facebook?

maybe she cross-references various databases in an instant...without a computer...oh god shes a cyborg. Scientific method indeed.

Its honestly very simple.

1: The boy was accually in on it. The truth is, 90% of the time, the someone in the group is in on it. 1st rule of being "magic" is that there should always be someone in the group.

2: Its the area you live in. If you live in an area with alot of barns, trees, and trails, chances are she will be right. I could say "You live in a white house, with a black roof, a large garage, and a small shed in the back yard. You live down the street from wallmarts."
And chances are, it will be true if you know the general area of the town, or youve lived there for some time, and seen where people live.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

My response?

BURN THE WITCH!

 

[Axzarious]

Weak to bug, ghost, and dark type attacks. Strong against Poison and Fighting types. Other psychic types are resistant, along with steel types. Dark types are immune.

The other logical answer is that you don't know how she did it. Here is a list of possible scenarios:

It was all fake. She planned it with this group of teens.

She's been in their houses before/spied on them and this is just a list of observations.

She MAY be reading microexpressions. You would never be able to see them, but they are the briefest of tells that everyone gives off when speaking.

Notice how she did no future predicting, just descriptions of what WAS and what IS, the two time frames easiest to fake in the realm of psychic-dom.

Ask her for a detailed 30-day forecast and see if she's really psychic. The truth is that if there were truly psychics, they would come forward with their powers. Imagine if you discovered you could predict the future, would you really stick to talking to weak-willed people? No, you would share it with the motherfucking world.

This. If it truly was possible to be psychic, they wouldn't have such a bad reputation of being lying, cheating, thieves.

That's not entirely true, as if you did think of all the rich businessmen who would want your power and what not. So they would like kidnap your family and force you to predict outcomes.

Not saying if I where physic I would go impress teenagers but I wouldn't share it with the world. Just asking for trouble.

But if it is an actual psychic, wouldn't it predict the kidnapping of it's family and prevent it? I see a flaw in your plan.

They don't exist.

the very idea of science is that it doesn't matter what you think or believe, all that matters are facts and what those facts point to. To truly be a man of science, you need to keep a slightly open mind to new and sometimes strange concepts, and can never assume something is impossible. it can be incredibly unlikely, but not impossible, science has proven this many times over. to say this woman is outright psychic is probably jumping too far, but I can honestly say that, all these facts tell me that none of this makes any sense based on our understanding of science.

You all say that psychics don't exist and thats that, but yet you give little credible claim of how this woman did these things. I don't truly believe in psychics, but that doesn't change the fact that as much as i contemplate what happened, there is no logical explanation

Cold reading, someone else suggested that it was a prank you were unknowingly dragged in to, a knowledge of the family without his knowledge of her, them fucking with you, etc. etc.

Literally everything other than her being psychic is more logical an explanation.
