I think some people have the ability to access a subconscious layer that Jung called the "collective unconscious".
Some people have been able to give remarkable predictions, cures for people who were hundreds of miles away etc. - one such was Edgar Cayce. His material is well documented by the Cayce Foundation.
That is not to say that everyone who claims to be a "Psychic" actually is one - there are probably quite a few fakers in the business.

I believe in them and they are real (seeing as I'm one). My youngest sister is one too. We can talk to ghosts sometimes and we get premonitions that have actually come true and lots of other weird stuff. No the devil doesn't control us and he doesn't even exist. I think our powers are from our genes and our ancestors, just a few before us haven't tried to develop their powers like my sister and I have. And no, don't believe in everything we or anyone else who claims to be a psychic says because there are many out their who will try to con you that don't have any talent. Then Their are people like my sister and I who are still trying to develop our skills and get some false information sometimes.

Yes I believe in Psychics. I am a spiritual Medium-Meaning I have been able to see and hear the spirits since I was a baby. They are gifts sent by God-Just as all other skills and abilities (nurturing, painting, cooking, baking,dancing,singing, calculating,.etc)It is not the devil- I wont get into my own beliefs on this concept.~
However I will say that Jesus told his apostles to use his gifts and spread the word and to do miracles-Corinthians shows the gifts God gives ppl-and the most valued is Prophecy!
(as long as it is wit love-b.c only love outlasts all abilities- since after death it stays alive :) )
"If all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you (1 Corinthians 14:24-25). For the outsider, prophecy can be a powerful sign of God's presence among His people. "
When Christians changed the gifts to being bad and from the devil-They make the true ones fall back and ashamed of what they do and know-and essentially unable to speak out and make skeptics believers in God.
They are the ones doing the devil justice in that way-If I believed in a devil!! But negativity either way is bred by shutting down a gift of any kind by throwing stones at something they don't understand.
(Medium and psychic, in th ebible is a misinterp as the word translated from the original text should be Wizard- I don't know any wizards as the bible was refering to- Wiccans are not this either, as they were not even a religion until centuries after Christ-only a few years back...)
"James Dunn observes, "Prophecy prevents a man pretending to be other than he is--prevents the believer hiding behind a mask of pretended righteouness, of apparent spirituality. At any time the prophetic word may expose him for what he is."[14] Thus prophecy builds up the church by converting the unbeliever and purifying the believer. "
"We cannot afford to despise the gift of prophecy. Nor can we allow its capacity for misuse and misunderstanding prevent us from embracing it. Rather we must diligently seek to curb its abuses by the guidelines of Scripture and "test all things" (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21), so that the great constructive value of prophecy may be experienced by our churches.[15] Through this unique spiritual gift the church is enabled to grow, mature and move forward according to the will of God. "Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy ... so that the church may be edified" (1 Corinthians 14:1, 5). "
I have had spirits save my family's life-and that of others, guide ppl and teach them to love and pray to God.-
There ARE cons out there- there are cons in EVERY SITUATION- whether it's a fake painting, or a popstar with a voice dub, or a baker buying cookies-there are cons everywhere-and that's something we have to be smart about and to reseach what a respected , accurate, and reputable psychic is.
I have a msg board- for anyone wanting to come and discuss this topic. It's for believers ONLY. It is a place to tell your stories..so feel free to make a post!

A good number of "psychics" use a lot of clues that they get from you, without you even realizing, and then go from there, most are very intuitive, and in different areas of surroundings,
I'm not sure if psychic is the best word, and contrary to a lot of beliefs, the people who really want to help you, usually don't charge for their services.

We are all born with Psychic senses everyone you talk too Yes even YOU, has one or more psychic sense some people choose to enhance them others just ignore them others may just shut them down. They still use them however they don't know they are : )
Senses are
Sight: Eyes "Clairvoyance" Spiritual Body "Eye" (called the Third Eye)
Sound: Ears "Clairaudience" Spiritual Body "Ear"
Touch: Skin "Clairsentience" Spiritual Body "Skin"
Taste: Tongue/Nose "Clairlinguance" Spiritual Body "Tongue"
Smell: Nose "Clairolerance" Spiritual Body "Nose"
*Know: Brain "Claircognizance" Spiritual Body "Mind"
Clairaudience - Intuitive
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.
Clairvoyance- Visionary
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.
Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.
Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.
Clairgustance - Taste
Clairgustance is being aware of tastes without putting anything physically in the mouth. To perceive the essence of a substance through taste from the spiritual or ethereal realms. The sensation of what one is tasting is often linked to a spirit on the other side.
Claircognizance - Know
The sense of knowing through our brain, even though it is not a physical sense, simply because it has a corresponding metaphysical sense known as claircognizance, or knowing without knowing how you know.
Clairolerance - Smell
The sense of Smelling different fragrances from Spirits to find that earthly connection, strong odours you can't escape and can't explain a reason for eg: Cooking odours, Perfumes, Cigars or Cigarettes, Flowers, Extra. The characteristic essence linked to a spirit on the other side.
"Using some of the senses or all of the senses you can do"
Psychometry - Touch
Psychometry is another form of psychic divination using the sense of touch to get mental impression linked to it. Psychometric impressions may come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or images. The visions can appear is single flat images, much like a photo, or as animations. As we exist in an electromagnetic energy reality, metal objects often work best.
Aura Reader - see
Aura readings look at your spiritual energy system as represented in the seven layers of your aura. Along with colours, a reader may see memory pictures, symbolic images, spiritual beings and usually energies belonging to others--like friends and family members. Readings can help you identify and release blocks. Aura readings also help you get in touch with your own energy, so you can know your own truth and make the highest choices for yourself.
Love & Blessings

i do believe there are people that possesses esp, or being a pychic. i wouldn't believe totally in everything they say, as they only see images and things can be interpreted in so many different ways. don't think they work for the devil. as for their powers, we only use a small percentage of our actual brain, they probably have access to more of their brains they "normal" people do.

Yes, they are magic!
No, dude, there is no such thing as supernatural powers. Psychics are just con men.
Read "Conned Again, Watson!" It will show you some of the basics of how cons work. People are easy to fool and our memories are bad.
No science has shown any indication of super human abilities. There is no combination of DNA that will let flesh and bone violate physics.
Also, everyone uses 100% of their brains, that is why strokes mess people up so bad. At any one time it is less than 100%, but there isn't any part of our brains that is sitting there un-used that is just waiting to give us telepathy.

No I do not believe in psychics. Successful psychics can pick up on a person's non verbal cues. It is all trickery. Beware.
