Possible ESP

OK I dont know how you all feel about predicting the future or reading minds or whatever but I got some creepy experiences to talk about. Well not creepy just odd.

First one was a while back when the show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was on Nickelodan. There was an episode where a comic came to life. The thing is that this epsiode was supposed to be "brand new" and "never seen before" and my two brothers, who watched the show religiously like i did, never saw it either. However, I knew exactly how it would end. This isnt to say that i knew the good guys would win, its to say that i knew the girl would use the eraser (yeah obvious i know) but that the eraser would catch on fire and which character would blow it out.

After that there haven't been a lot of things like that which I remember with such clarity. There's the occasional conversation that I've relived or just felt that certain things were happening again even if it was impossible given the circumstance. Anyways, input, comments, what have you. Just some food for thought.

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.

You might have a gift for reading people and the stories they tell, but it's not ESP. It's simply being able to trust your regular Sensory Perceptions, and let your mind work out for itself any conclusions that it may come to. Some people forget how powerfull the blob at the top of their spinal cords really is, it has the power to predict - in the same way a computer has the power to predict, assuming it is given appropriate information.

If every action is preceded with a thought, would it not be possible that a thought is just as tangible and as real as any other sensory perception? Then if one were tuned in or had an ability to grasp that tangible aspect, would that not explain moments or things that are called ESP?

Sounds more like deja vu than anything to me. While not really understood, it's a well-known phenomenon. The best explanation I've heard to date is that the regions of the brain responsible for recording short and long-term memory become out of synch temporarily, which makes it seem like you've already experienced an event that's simultaneously occuring. Note that there's not a lot to back this up, but it seems the most plausible out of all the explanations I've heard, is all.
