i don't think they exist
i think that if you concentrate the brain can do some magical things
but stuff like "mindreading, premonitions, telekinesis, psychic healing, psychic detectives, psychic fortunetelling, astral projections" seem too farfetched to me.

When you say "magical things" what do you mean?

not possible.
i think we're open to suggestion.. so when some fruit loop thinks she has psychic powers, she can convince us she does. hell, she might even have herself convinced.

i will admit that i have had dreams about things that have come true.. but im still going to go with a "no" on this. because i can. :P

I definetly believe in "Psychic Phenomena". There's too much we don't know about the potential of our own minds, too many reports of telekinesis and other less explainable things than gypsies with crystal balls. Just look at the Placebo effect, we can make our minds do some pretty crazy things without focus and training, I really think it's within the realm of possibility that we could "tune" our brains to at least affect physical matter. The whole seeing things before they happen, I'm sure someone's got a big juicy quasi-syllabic thesis for, i'll just say that human knowledge is caked with ignorance and closed-mindedness, and that we haven't even scratched the surface on issues like time and alternate realities.

I know I gave you my two cents worth.. but I could really go for that free cookie.
