Personally, I think that most of the so-called "psychics" out there are charlatans, but I also think that there are a few out there who have somehow convinced themselves that they have some special gift. In fact, I once read about a woman who had once been a follower of the New Age movement and she had believed that she had psychic ability. What she didn't realize was that she did "warm readings". That is, she would get information about people and then make guesses about them based on that information and on her own observations. Since her guesses were often correct, she managed to convince herself that is was all due to psychic ability. In reality, though, she did what many of us do every day. That is, she made observations and guesses based on those observations. This is also commonly known as intuition, which is perfectly natural and not at all supernatural.
