I know what you're wearing tonight!
My family happens to consist of psychic/telepathic freaks and I happen to be one of them! This is rather freaky how these supposedly coincidental things work: synchronous ideas (thinking of something as another and saying it exactly the same at the same moment), long-distance reminders (recalling someone when they think of you a lot), prediction (accidentally predicting an action or guessing something that would otherwise would not be as probable), damage/corruption (unexpected glass explosion, TV screen display messes up), and I have to say that nearly all of these I (or my parents) have witnessed myself if not caused.

I've started really thinking about this today - when my parents told me about how did the older stove that we had break. Apparently, long ago, my father was sitting in front of it and just started staring at the stove "door". At one point, the glass simply shattered - it exploded into little pieces! The stove wasn't being used, there was nobody else in the apartment at that time and the glass was thick enough to resist heat and physical collision with other objects - hell, there was no collision! We can't explain that event even now. Yes - glass can explode in certain conditions, but was it that coincidental that it happened right as my father stared at it?..

Another real (I swear) story: Back in the beginning (or mid) of 2006, I've spent two or even three days summarizing over a year of past that I had in an online relationship with a person I liked. It was back when I visited a small military settlement called "Mutsav `Or ha ner`" (Candlelight Settlement). I was guarding there for a week or so - cute little (and not so environmentally peaceful) place. I ended up having so much free time that I was thinking of all sorts of weird things and that particular summary was one of them - I just got bored one day, looked at my old Furcadia logs and started recalling events - one after another... it lasted for a few days and did pass my time during my guard shifts,so it was cool. The person herself I haven't seen on MSN for nearly a year - never came online and I thought she never will - probably erased me from the friends list or even blocked to hide her online status (which probably ended up as a different MSN name in the end). On the third day something absolutely unbelievable happened - that old MSN account of hers suddenly came to life and she started a chat session with me (I didn't message her yet or anything) - after nearly a year of absence, she suddenly came online and talked to me! Right after I've been thinking about her for several days! I refuse to believe that it was a coincidence - it is impossible...

A similar story was once told by my mother. She does healing massage at a hotel for a job and had a similar event happen to her: One day she recalled one of her clients that hasn't been to Eilat (my home city) for over half a year and what not - he wasn't the most pleasant person to deal with either, so it was a good thing he wasn't there. On the same day she remembered him she was told who her next client for the hour is going to be... after all the time he was absent, they met again... Coincidence?

There are many other small cases where I managed to guess or come by a precise answer to a problem/question that had more than 5 different options, accidentally guess what somebody else was doing on the other side of the phone call of someone else, looked at someone on MSN who hasn't spoke to me in a while and get a message from them soon afterwards... Know it when somebody does something offline while in contact with you on Furc or a messenger and unknowingly, you feel like doing (and do) the same thing just to realize what happened later on? It happened to me as well - two days ago even!

Today I looked at the TV set in our living room and noticed something unusual with it - the picture wasn't too wide for the CRT screen anymore (some messup it had a while back), but looked like this!:

The interesting part is that there is absolutely no way to control the picture like this on the TV! Yes - computer monitors could do this for ages, but the TV has no settings that can let you control the picture the same way, so it can't be someone messing about with the settings or the settings becoming corrupt - there are none! The TV is about 9 years old now. So I've asked my parents what happened to the TV set and they said that my grandmother came for a visit (and she hasn't been here for a while) one or two days ago and the TV started doing that right away... How the hell is it possible? Did she bring her negative energies with her and started corrupting the equipment? Did the TV get old and messed up? Coincidence?..

I know a friend from school for many years now and every now and then, I used to come to his house and help him with all sorts of Windows problems he had on his computer. It ranged from strange BSOD problems he had very often to hardware/software becoming corrupt and require a replacement. Some of the Windows versions didn't even work on his machine for unknown to me reasons - Win98 broke too often, 2000 had insane amount of driver issues... One big mess. His computer used to get faulty very often and soon I came to a conclusion that most of the problems he, theoretically, couldn't cause! There was no indication to any user errors or misuse of Windows (he's a gamer - he wouldn't be "too curious"). There were no viruses or spyware in sight, the hardware was brand new and there was no way he could cause his system to malfunction like that - but it did happen! At first I thought that possibly unstable electricity was to blame, but the frequency of the problems theoretically couldn't be caused by this alone - no way in hell! I often asked "Why don't I get as much problems with my 7 years old PC as he does? How can this happen?" and while technical causes weren't the case here, I began to think that there's something supernatural that could be doing that. Some people just don't go well with technology, they say - they break all they touch! I've started seeing that this can't just be because they're clumsy - there's something unexplainable about them that breaks all they come in contact with and often, they have no control over it...

It is obvious that the human brain is being barely utilized - only a very small percentage of it we actually use in our daily life while the rest remains dormant. Every now and then we see all sorts of people on television - telepaths, people who can "magically" heal another by concentrating on it, people that can guess the cards without looking at them... stuff that seems like no more than a TV show made solely for entertainment. Apparently, these people found a way to use some more of their mind power for all these unbelievable things they do - sixth sense, healing, telekinesis... Maybe it's possible that our family has some sort of gene inside that causes similar things to happen every now and then, maybe I can read other people's minds or do some sort of "suggestion" to another by concentrating on them enough, maybe I can force myself into your dreams!.. but I can't - it happens accidentally all the time, I can't seem to control this or use it in any way other than randomly... but what if I could? What if I could train myself and learn how to control all these potential abilities? One thing I know, it would be hell of a fun and you'd better hope that I don't get control of this anytime soon... ;)
