I believe in pyschics, but I also believe in ghosts and other dimensions. But either way I have a good story relating.
My Grandmother told my brother and I this once, she told us in a very candid manner and was almost embarassed to be talking about it. For some background, my Grandma is an elderly British woman who lived in London during WWII (and actually survived an incendiary bomb landing in her flat while she was there). She is a very religious person and thus takes...other worldly...matters very seriously. So on to her story:
It was shortly after WWII had concluded and my Grandfather had returned home from the war (he was a naval captain). She, my Grandpa, and two of their close friends had driven into London for a night on the town. The girls had broken off from their male counterparts and had spotted a storefront psychic and decided to stop in just for laughs. The psychic told my Grandma many things, family things she wouldn't have known otherwise, but thats not important - as my Grandma was walking out of her session the psychic told her;
Psychic: "Stop"
Grandma: "Stop what?"
Psychic: "You'll know when stop"
So my Grandma left, kinda shaken by the family things the psychic had told her, but she shrugged off that last comment because it really didn't mean anything to her. She didn't smoke or anything like that, there really wasn't anything in her life that needed to be stopped. So the gals went and met back up with the guys and they drove back out to their house.
It was one of those nights where the fog is just rediculous and you pretty much have zero visibility. Of course, and the Brits on this site can probably credit this, British people are so used to it that when they drive they really don't think much of it, they still plow ahead as usual. So they were speeding along an empty road, not being able to see what was more than 20 feet infront of the headlights. My Grandpa was driving when all of a sudden my Grandma screamed for him to stop. My Grandpa didn't stop immediately, because he had no clue what she was talking about, so she yelled it again, grabbed tightly onto his leg to let her know she was serious and so my Grandpa slammed on the breaks. Everyone in the car was a little shaken up not knowing why she had just had such a random and passionate outburst. My Grandpa asked her what was wrong with her, why she was yelling and all she could say was, "I don't know, it just came to me, lets just get out for a minute and walk around to settle down."
They all got out of the car and started to walk around. They walked forward, just slightly past what was immediately visible by the headlights and discovered a gigantic sinkhole in the middle of the road. The road had caved in to reveal a wide, 20-30 foot deep cavern.
Now some people can say that psychics make general statements (like "you'll know when to stop") because people can always find a meaning out of something that is intentionally vague...and I'm sure there are people out there who do this simply to make money, but I don't doubt that there are people out there who can do it for real.
