Well, if you REALLY wanna know if you have ESP, you need to start datalogging.
Get yourself a little flip notebook that you can carry in your back pocket. When you get these feelings, write 'em down.
Then record which ones come true.
After you've done that for several months, count the ones that come true, count the ones that don't, and see if you have significantly more good predictions than bad ones.
People tend to trick themselves - the old "hey streetlights go off when I walk under them, I must have special powers" is a great example. They can walk under 50 street lamps. If 47 of them stay on but 3 turn off, they'll only remember the three that turned off.
