Do you believe in psychics?
I consider myself a huge skeptic. I'm still debating on whether or not I believe in all this stuff. How about you guys?

1. They exist.
The spirits told me so.

Out, disbeliever!

2. Some I do, some I don't
My first husband's 100 year old grandmother was incredibly annoyingly psychic. I hated when she told me what I was thinking. I was young though and kept lots inside and I hated being "found out".

Some are frauds. Some are awesome and right on.

3. I'm a hardcore skeptic with most supernatural things
But I especially think psychics are bullshit because they're one of the few supernatural type things that are designed to make money.

4. Not really
But I believe some people are deeply intuitive, and subconsciously pick up on details that the rest of us don't. Our brains have a natural filters for stimuli, otherwise we'd all go nuts. I believe that's one of the theories of autistic children, that the filtering system is different. However, I've heard so many anecdotal stories about "psychic" experiences from people I respect, that it's hard to dismiss out of hand. Maybe those folks process information differently, or pick up information in a different manner than the rest of us. I guess I'm kind of wishy washy about the whole thing

5. Yes, but...
Not in the sense of "you pay me $15 and I'll tell you _________" I do believe that some people are gifted with precognition, perception of energies others aren't aware of, things like that. I'll tell you about it sometime...
