Question by Some dude: Take the psychic challenge and prove a skeptic wrong: seeking results or explanations as to why it is invalid
I have chosen a number between 1 and 1,000,000 and written it down next to my computer. I am looking for someone with psychic powers / mind reading / spirit guide / ESP / transvisualization / whatever to pick that number.

Question by youdbesolucky: I think my girlfriend may be psychic…but I’m a skeptic. Can there be a rational explanation?
When I met my girlfriend she told me she had an aunt that was apparently “psychic” and did readings. I was like whatever…I don’t believe in that stuff. But she said it could run in bloodlines.

About a year ago, we went to this paranormal event to please a friend, and while there we met another “psychic” and she looked at my girlfriend and told her that she had “the gift” and that she could see it in her. I thought the woman was crazy.
