I just stumbled across the North American Psychic and Paranormal Network website and LOVED their tagline.
“We’ve been expecting you.”
(I’m laughing out loud right now!)
One of my favorite recurring tickles is driving by a hotel hosting a Psychic Fair and they’ve got a marquee sign announcing the dates. The running joke is, “Why do they need to list the dates? Won’t everyone just show up when they’re supposed to?”
The North American Psychic and Paranormal Network people get it. You’ve got to have a sense of humor.
Many people consider themselves sensitive in some way or another, but bristle when they hear the “Ps” word. I’m fond of online dictionaries so here goes…
Merriam-Webster: Psychic. Pronunciation: \?s?-kik\ Etymology: Greek psychikos of the soul, from psych? soul.
Date: 1642. Function: adjective: 1 : of or relating to the psyche 2 : lying outside the sphere of physical science or knowledge : immaterial, moral, or spiritual in origin or force. 3 : sensitive to nonphysical or supernatural forces and influences : marked by extraordinary or mysterious sensitivity, perception, or understanding
Date: 1871 Function: noun: 1 : a person apparently sensitive to nonphysical forces
Conclusion: WE’RE ALL PSYCHIC .
How? Well, besides these definitions, where do you fit in these scenarios?
- Mom Hearing. You know they’re getting into something.
- They were just talking about me. That palpable silence that you can feel when you walk into a conference room.
- Women’s Intuition. That inner voice that tells her it was you who didn’t put the seat down.
- I was just thinking about you! Often heard first thing in a long overdue phone conversation.
- Don’t even think about it. Closely related to Mom Hearing.
- I just know. I just do.
These phenomena happen all day, every day, to everyone so, according to this definition, we’re psychic.
So, let’s have a sense of humor and adventure. This can be fun and exciting stuff.
What’s your psychic ability?
Happy Haunts,

Great post! Even though I’ve had the advantage of working my skills since I was a tot, I’ve always said–everyone is psychic. It’s amazing how this talent is inherently part of the human process. It’s just figuring out how it works for you to develop it. How many times do you think of a song and it comes on the radio or the phone rings and you know who it is, even when it’s someone that doesn’t call often? Yeah, we all have it. I wish people would just take it out of the “woo-woo” viewpoint and just say that it’s a skill like being good at shooting hoops or running–we can all do it, some just work the skill more and refine it. That was a fun post!
Thank you!
This happens all the time. And you nailed it — I wish people would take it out of the ‘woo-hoo’ viewpoint, too. It’s not weird, odd, crazy, etc. It’s normal and we all do it all the time.
I just published an article on my blog with few tips and exercises to prove to everyone his or her psychic abilities. If I wouldn’t believe everyone is psychic, I wouldn’t be teaching psychic development, would it? 🙂
Cool, Nathan! Keep up the good work!
I liked the humor you put into this. I think sometimes the seiousness with which people deal with this issue turns “skeptics” away. Your light heartedness was wonderful!
There have been many times that I will have a song in my head and it will be on the radio. There have been times that I will talk about an old movie that I haven’t seen in a long time and it ends up right afterwards on a cable channel. I have often heard my kids calling to me and on a few occasions, have heard my Mom. I also get good and bad feelings about a person or situation and 9 out of 10 times I will be right. Great post!
Susan, I am in unanimous agreement with what everyone else said. You did a BRILLIANT job with this post. Funny, insightful, and on target. I know I’m sensitive. I “feel” things and have a keen intuition. But I also dream stuff. Not always, and it’s not always consistent, but I definitely know the difference between “one of those dreams” and just regular ones. There’s just a different “vibe.” (And it’s because of my “sensitivity” that I got so interested in Haunt Jaunting.) Really excellent post. Five stars, thumbs up! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for the great kudos, Courtney! 🙂
I dont agree with this completely but it brings up some great points.
