I believe I'm a little bit psychic. Call me crazy. 
I won't call you crazy. I know, for instance, that bilocation is physically impossible - against all all the laws of physics (and I'm an earth scientist by training). So I mentally dismiss these things. But there is something about the paranormal that fascinates me.
Case in point:
When I was working in downtown Los Angeles, I came into the office building one morning and passed by the office of one of the administrative assistants, a young lady about my age. I stepped back into the doorway and asked her, "Hey, how's your husband doing?"
She looked at me strangely and said, "Fine, I guess."
I said, "He was in an accident, wasn't he? And he's in the hospital, right?"
"Not that I know of," and she looked alarmed.
I said, "Sorry, maybe I'm thinking of someone else. I didn't mean to frighten you. Sorry." I was very apologetic.
About an hour later she came over to my shared office, white as a sheet. She asked, "How did you know A---- was in an accident?"
I said, "I don't know, I thought someone had told me." I knew her husband was a police officer. What I didn't know was they had been separated for several months.
She said, "He and his partner were in a traffic accident real early this morning. No one called me and they wouldn't give me any information. I finally had to call the wife of another guy on the force to get some info. I'm going over to the hospital right now. Thanks - however you knew."
Now there is a small chance, a very small chance, that I was mistaken about my knowledge
and the person I was mistaken about was contemporaneously hospitalized from an auto accident. I don't know how I "knew." This one still creeps me out.
