Funny how psychics never can predict significant celebrity/ political deaths, never mind their own death.

I always though, “Shouldn’t telephone psychics be calling you?”

When discussing precognitive abilities I like to use the following hypothetical:

Suppose you live adjacent to a railroad track, and every day, a train rumbles by at noon, which gives your house a good shake. Late one morning a friend comes by to visit and you give him a glass of water, which as you sit down to talk, he sets very near the edge of an end table. You look at the clock and notice it's about 11:59 a.m. Obviously you tell your friend he had best move the glass or hold onto it.

There's nothing mysterious about your, "vision," of the glass shaking off the table and crashing to the floor. Your conscious mind simply made an extrapolation based on knowledge and experience. You didn't necessarily, "foresee," the future (for all you know, the train may have derailed a few miles up the track that specific day), but you arrived at a reasonable and likely conclusion of how events would play out.

I suspect, with so much of the brain yet unexplored, some people have a much greater capacity to simply extrapolate likely events in their subconscious to the degree it may seem eerily supernatural to us normal folks, when in fact it is an entirely natural function of their mind.

That said, I don't see much in this story that convinces me Baba Vanga falls into that category.

Jeanne Dixon supposedly predicted JFK’s death.
