What is A Psychic?

 

Are psychics real? Most likely. If you weave your way through the fakes, phoneys, and money-hungry scammers, you'll find some legitimate psychics out there in the world.  These are the people who help solve mysteries, find missing people, connect people with loved ones who have passed on, and even predict future events. It's easy to fall victim to a fake, but my personal opinion is that psychic ability does exist.  If you're looking for information on psychics and psychic stuff, please visit: PsychicStuff.info.

What is a Psychic Anyway? 

The word psychic (; from the Greek psychikos?"of the soul, mental") refers to the claimed ability to perceive things hidden from the normal senses through what is described as extra-sensory perception, or to those people said to have such abilities. It is also used to refer to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation and cold reading to produce the appearance of such abilities.

Belief in psychic phenomena is widespread in the United States, where a 2005 Gallup poll revealed that 41 percent of Americans believe in extra-sensory perception. Psychics appear regularly in fiction and science fiction, such as the The Dead Zone by Stephen King and Jean Grey from the Marvel comic book universe. A large industry exists where psychics provide advice and counsel to clients, though debunkers attribute such putative powers to intentional trickery or self-delusion.Nova, 15 April 1993 (Season 19, Episode 3), Psychic Debunking. Some famous contemporary psychics include Miss Cleo, Sylvia Browne, and John Edward.FTC Charges "Miss Cleo" Promoters with Deceptive Advertising, Billing and Collection Practices

The scientific community has rejected claims of psychic phenomena,* and no compelling evidence of psychic phenomena has been found. A study using neuroimaging published in 2008 provides the strongest evidence yet obtained that paranormal mental phenomena do not exist.

In 1988 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences gave a report on the subject that concluded there is "no scientific justification from research conducted over a period of 130 years for the existence of parapsychological phenomena." In 1991 a survey of opinion amongst scientists in the National Academy of Sciences, 96% described themselves as "skeptical" of ESP, although 2% believed in psi and 10% felt that parapsychological research should be encouraged.McConnell, R.A., and Clark, T.K. (1991). "National Academy of Sciences' Opinion on Parapsychology" Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, 85, 333-365.http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2320/is_n3_v56/ai_13771782/pg_5 Retrieved February 4, 2007

About itzdeev

Hello.  My name is Denise, but most people call me Dee.  I'm interested in lots of things and I have a variety of lenses to prove it.

I've been a fan of gymnastics since I was a little girl and I remember watching Mary Lou Retton in the Olympics way back when...

Another major interest of mine is the paranormal. I've always been fascinated by the paranormal. I'm constantly reading, researching, watching the latest TV shows, documentaries and movies about paranormal stuff to learn everything I can. I am especially attracted to haunted lighthouses and hope to investigate some in person and possibly write a book about it.

Another of my goals is to attend a ghost-hunting session with TAPS - I think they are the coolest!

P.S. I'm also a huge fan of Hanson!
