Your opinion on psychics

[drblow]

I am generally very scpetical of psychics, and of the notion of prophecy or future prediction. I do believe strongly in the human ability to be "sensitive" and "intuitive".

However, here is a wee story I thought I would share ...

I my old home town (when I was about 18) one of my friends Mother was a local psychic. She was a very unstable woman, prone to heavy drinking, and her behaviour (especialy to her own family) was erratic and unpredictable. Basically everyone thought she was just mad.

One day, as a young girl friend of ours was about to leave the woman's house (after only visiting her son for a few hours) she was literally grabbed by the woman, pinned to the wall quite violently, and the psychic woman went on to tell her that something awful was happening at the girl's home, and she should not go there. She did not specify what was happening, but was so distraught that it freaked the young girl out enough that she did not go home, but instead went to another friends house.

A short time later the girl went home. She discovered her Father's dead body blocking the door to her home, went inside and found her mother dead also. The father (an ex-policeman) had shot his wife and himself. A note found later said that he intended to kill the whole family, but she escaped because of the intervention.

Like I said, I do not believe in psychics. But I do not have an explaination for this.
