Nono, I don't mean that you are necessearly lying intentionally. Some of you probably believe what you are saying.

Your too young to understand.....But there are things out there beyond human comprehension. Trust me on that one.

thats not that bad, especially if you're using winamp2.

not so much an ability, but a series of expierences:

i sometimes startle awake, ie, i go from dead sleep to full alertness. i am extremely cold (shivering) but sweating beyond belief. i am completely immobile, i cannot open my eyes, i cannot move any of my limbs, i cannot open my mouth or talk or anything. I often hear backround noise, whisperlike. one time, i believe i heard "can you hear us? we can hear you." after what seems like forever, lying there immobile shivering in my own sweat, i regain control of my body and jump up and scream.

i have researched it and actually talked to doctors / psychologists about it, and apparently the human body is rendered completely immobile during the deepest parts of REM sleep. if your body is starteled to wake during this period, you will remain completely paralyzed, even while awake. i can attribute the voices to constructvie perception, where the brain is supplied with very little info and makes "sense" out of it. whatever. freaky sh1t.

I'm about to go to sleep, thanks for freakin' me out dude. I used to get that when I was younger, but my mind did not produce hallucinations to combat the sensory deprivation. I'm gonna have a lot of trouble fallin' asleep tonight.

Btw, are you able to breathe? When this used to happen to me, I was not.

*My* mere presence, on the other hand, makes computers (of other people, that is) work. Am I seeing a pattern here?

This is regardless of whether I know her religion or not.

Catholic girls are supernaturally hot. It's one thing I can always count on.

I have deja vu sometimes.

even if they are ugly, usually some sort of unifrom on a chick is a ++.

I can hear whether TV is turned on or not miles away! (well not miles, but I can tell wether my upstairs guy is watching tv... and this isnt because I hear TV sounds. )

For example, I can tell right now that guy in the room next to me is watching tv right now. and Im not hearing sounds from tv.

Paranormal profile for Ted Striker:

1. skillz

No in all seriousness I believe in paranormal stuff but I can't share it because it's too personal.

orange · May 7, 2003, 00:48

- I get quick, small glimpses of future events when I day dream. They almost always come true.

- I can tell by the tone of someone's voice whether they have something they want to share, but don't know how to bring it up in conversation.

- My brain can detect radio waves, because I always know what's on the radio at any given time, even when the radio isn't on first.

I am just the opposite. People come to me about errors on their computers, and when I get there they couldn't replicate them. After I leave, they start to have them again.

If I didn't work in tech support it'd be a complete riot.

Yeah, just like your paranormal ability to delude yourself.

Koyaanisqatsi · May 7, 2003, 01:20

Streetlights go out when I walk or drive by. This happens frequently. I can walk down a street and the lights will go out as I approach, then come back on when I'm past them.

In my case it sometimes actually goes like this: People tell me about problems with their computers, so I get there, look in the general direction of the box, and... whatever the problem was, it gets fixed. With no intervention from me or the user. And it doesn't return.

Well, actually this has happened only once, but hey, anecdotal evidence has been used for proving more important things, too

That's not just you--that's the vast majority of techs on the planet.

Urban Ranger · May 7, 2003, 01:25

I think I have come up with a good scam. First we get Skanky to go around causing computers to breakdown, then we have you charge loads of $ to stare at them.

Skanky Burns · May 7, 2003, 02:23

Sure, I'll be in on that scam.

Another one: My fiance stopped a tape that was playing an advertisement, and on tv was that exact same commercial at exactly the same point that it was on the tape. Even stranger, the tape was recorded off another station than the tv was playing.
Ok, so it was more of a coincidence than anything, but still was rather strange.

tinyp3nis · May 7, 2003, 02:29

That happened to me once too. I was the idiot with the problem, couldn't solve it and called a friend, he came, walked in the room, and I said "Hey look at this, it wont... wtf... where's the problem?" There was none anymore. Then he also said that happens to him often.

Jaguar · May 7, 2003, 02:48

OK I just remembered another paranormal thing. I was listening to a song on my headphones, and on six separate occasions during the song, someone said the exact same word that was being sung.

Don't know what that was about.

orange that "something to share" sense is a damn useful skill. I need to learn that.

Lastly, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks Catholic girls are unusually hot.

Alexander's Horse · May 7, 2003, 03:04

GLENDOWER
I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

HOTSPUR
Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them?

GLENDOWER
Why, I can teach you, cousin, to command
The devil.

HOTSPUR
And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil
By telling truth: tell truth and shame the devil.
If thou have power to raise him, bring him hither,
And I'll be sworn I have power to shame him hence.
O, while you live, tell truth and shame the devil!

They didn't know I cheated, though.

I did this too, with those cards they use to test clairvoyance. I got "guessed" enough in a row correctly that the odds of randomly doing it were something like several billion to one. The strange thing was that I wasn't cheating, and my lab partners were freaked out. It comes and goes, alas. I can usually count on an advantage playing poker (for instance), but I can't be sure of any particular hand. My real talent is communication though, reading others minds for particular bits of data, or conversely sending messages to other people. I can even have a devestating effect on other people's abilities to do things like shoot pool. It's a force so powerful that it can only be used for good or evil. Fortunately that choice has been left up to me.

This is by design (of the lamps). It keeps you in a wee bit of darkness while exposing anyone ahead or behind you alongside the walkway. They use motion detectors. It took me a long time to figure this out watching it happen to people every night on the street below.

I have prophetic dreams, with deja-vus. From the stupidest random events, to pop culture developements, to historical events.

Boy band songs that I heard years before they were published, for example.
And of course, things to do with school, and education.

Sirotnikov · May 7, 2003, 10:53

Wow... Azazel, I was about to say a very similar thing.

I have prophetic dreams. I dreamt of the Gulf War ending the night that it ended. I dreamt of being accepted to the school I'm now in. I dreamt of being accepted into a certain IDF unit i got recently accepted to.

Az · May 7, 2003, 11:05

Aro · May 7, 2003, 11:17

It seems to be a military experiment... Something the Israeli Army is adding to the water, maybe... A WMP (Weapon of Mass Profhesy)!

You wouldn't by any chance know how to switch that off again... do you? I think I accidently switched that one on, by my birth... and I still can't get rid of it

Me, and a friend of mine, has the same problem... whenever I get near his computer, it screws up... whenever he gets near my computer, it screws up
