premonitions

I was listening to a morning radio show, a few weeks ago and they were talking about the psychic that called in reporting the mass graves. Someone had called into the radio show, claiming to be a psychic. He said that his ability doesn't involved detailed visuals but a premonition that something...

Another thread sparked a vague memory of what I believe to be the only time in "modern" times psychic evidence was ruled admissable in an English Court of Law. I'm writing this entirely from memory, so please do check my facts, but the case is very well documented and someone should be in a...

Note: This thread is an outgrowth of this thread on the Science, Mathematics, Medicine, and Technology forum. Are you a pilot, or do you work for the FAA? What do you think the FAA official's reaction should have been to Booth's phone call? Actually, Playboy lost three people: "Judith Wax...

I need some help illustrating (to a friend who has mild woo leanings) how there's a significantly high probability that someone will have a premonition about anything that is in the news - esp re something/someone with a high profile I remember someone on the radio explaining the odds were...

Hi guys. I have something I need to talk about. My best friend, who has claimed to have had some psychic ability (which I haven't really believed in) has told me in the past that she has had a feeling that she will die in a car wreck. I brushed this off. Then I was talking with a mutual...

Last year, I was driving home on a suburban four lane road. I was several hundred feet from a somewhat blind intersection, meaning that I could see to the left, but the right-hand view was blocked by buildings until almost upon the intersection. I have driven the same intersection perhaps a...

Tomorrow, I'm going on my first plane flight since 9/11 scared everyone out of the skies. Knowing that an airliner's design is so robust that it is very unlikely to malfunction doesn't help my nervousness about speeding at superhuman speeds miles above the ground. To make matters worse, I...

The message from the Aussie vet reminded me of something Mark Twain wrote: Never handle firearms carelessly. The sorrow and suffering that have been caused through the innocent but heedless handling of firearms by the young! Only four days ago, right in the next farmhouse to the one where I am...

After having spent some time mulling over the 'Premonitions of Death' thread, I thought I should mention a startling thing that happened to me a few months ago: I had to visit a photography store on a street that I'd never been to before. While I was driving there, I suddenly developed an...

Skeptics often say that the reason premonitions of death pack such a wallop when they come to pass is that people forget the misses and remember only the hits. I resolved that I ever had a premonition of death (e.g., in a dream, or a sudden notion that popped into my head that a person had...

Wierd. Only yesterday I was wondering if a register of Premonitions existed and tonight I found this. http://www.spr.ac.uk/index.php3?page=premonitions_registry It's a good idea actually.

Just after I woke up and got a drink in the kitchen, for some reason I thought of a spider, and how silly it is that some people are deathly afraid of them. Two minutes later, I went to turn the water on for a shower and there was a spider in the bathtub. (A little tiny one). This is the...

I thought this on 9/11 premonitions is interesting. http://www.rhine.org/ Does this not show that there is a phenomenon out there to study?

I have a friend who sort of believes in the supernatural and thinks she had a premonition. Several months ago, as she was going to sleep, she heard a monotonous male voice say "later this year, widow's weeds." I think it was merely an auditory hypnagogic hallucination, but she is convinced it...

This is interesting, particularly the visual/auditory hallucinations described in the article. http://sids-network.org/ssg/ssgprem.htm

I was wondering what makes it seem as if a dream has come true? I know of several people who claim to have had dreams that foretell an event in the future. These people seem sincere and have nothing to gain by these claims, so I am led to believe that they genuinely beleive that they have...

Cape May, Mother's Day...Meteorological?

For those of you who are confirmed skeptics, let's assume you had a premonition or vision of some kind, for example you are going to get into a fender bender on your way to work. Would you pay attention to the premonition/vision, or dismiss it immediately? If you would dismiss it immediately...
