right, I'm working on it. So the idea of being psychic is often something that
many people scoff at. Literally millions of people have claimed to have supernatural abilities, and while many of them have been debunked as frauds, there are still a number of psychic powers that still cannot be explained today. So that's exactly what we're going to talk about today, those extraordinary talents that have been witnessed all around the world and
have yet to be explained. So without further ado, here they are. Ten Amazing Psychic Abilities People May Actually Have. Number one is hypnosis. Let's start with the
ability that thousands of doctors and scientists have been researching and debating
for over 200 years. In the late 1700s, Austrian
Physician Franz Mesmer developed a form of forced meditation he believed connected both the user of the ability and their uh, patient. He called this mystical
link animal magnetism. When put into a trance-like state, the patient is said to
be easily influenced by suggestions of the hypnotist. The actual act of hypnosis is named after Dr. Mesmer, which is why we call is mesmerize. Many physicians use different variations of hypnosis to treat people. Many of them backing up these actions with scientific data that
it does, in fact, work. Just like this. Oh yes, you're getting
sleepy, sleepy, ahh. This is the stuff of nightmares. Number two is astral projection. Imagine being able to leave your body and travel through your home or wherever you fall asleep into seeing and hearing things well
out of your physical range. Well, that's astral
projection, and it's been demonstrated by a number of people and has been said to
often happen accidentally, especially during stressful rest periods such as having surgery and
being under anesthetic. Doctors have actually reported having patients being aware of conversations that they had completely outside of the operating room. According to Jerry Gross,
a noted practitioner of astral projection, this power is not one people are born with, but one that they can develop through practice. Watch. Ah yes, I can see you behind your screen, just chillin' and, oh God, you're not wearing pants, okay, come back. Come back to reality, Matt. Number three is enhanced vision. Bashful people beware. While there are many people suffering from either nearsightedness
or farsightedness, there are some people that have visions so incredible that they can't be limited by any one obstacle, including skin. I see you. Enhanced vision is an ability that does just what the name implies. It gives the individual uncanny sight that's beyond what
science can fully explain. One person who's proven to have this ability is a Russian woman named Natasha Demkina who, at only 10 years old, could see inside a person's body. She could even describe and locate ulcers, bone scars and even organs. This power has led to her having the moniker the girl with the X-ray eyes. Well, better start selling lead underwear in Russia, or this girl's gonna see your gibbily bits. Number four is channelling. The power that's received, quite possibly, the most scrutiny because of the amount of fake practitioners is channelling, which involves allowing
another spirit to enter the psychic, which is called a medium, and control their body, their hands, their face and their vocal chords. Often, when a spirit enters an individual, the medium becomes unconscious, unaware of what the
spirit is doing or saying. One of the most famous
mediums in the world is George Anderson, who spent decades communicating with dead loved ones grieving families to
help bring them closure. Anderson actually holds the title of the most scientifically tested medium of the century. In fact, he was the only medium that was ever invited to Holland by the Holocaust-surviving
family of Anne Frank. I do not like the idea
of people being able to read my thoughts. I mean, what would you guys think if you found out that my dream is to sit in a bathtub full of cheese while holding a sloth? (upbeat music) Did I say that out loud? Number five is clairvoyance. This ability gives new meaning to the idea of pulling a fact out of thin air. Clairvoyance is known as a sixth sense and completely non-physical. Some clairvoyants can gain information about a specific location or event simply by thinking of it, while others get their
information involuntarily. Some clairvoyants can gain information about a specific location or event simply by thinking about it, while others get their
information involuntarily, having sudden visions of locations. The first person ever documented to have this ability was a dull-witted peasant named Victor Race who, in 1784, was witnessed by medical professionals entering a trance and coming out of it suddenly articulate. He had completely altered his personality with information about other locations that he had never visited. I wanna do that to mentally visit the UK so that I can
improve my British accent. 'Ello govna, top of the day to you. As you can see, I could use it. Number six is telepathy. The ultimate method for passing a note in class, telepathy is the ability to transfer a message,
image or information from one person to another
using only the mind. The word telepathy comes from the Greek word tele meaning distant and pathos meaning feeling or experience. A fantastic example of people documenting this incredible power
happened just recently. On March 28, 2014, Dr. Michel Berg was in northeastern France, while over 7,400 kilometers away Dr. Alejandro Riera was in Kerala, India, both men performed one experiment, sending
an intercontinental communication without using any form of communication
outside of their own brains. According to multiple scientists involved in the experiment, each of the men were able to successfully send one word to each other. Okay, I'm gonna try really hard right now. Ready? Here we go. Did you get it? The word was fart. I'm an adult. Number seven is psychic surgery. Why have expensive operations when a psychic can simply pull that nasty tumor right out of your body? Psychic surgeons are world-famous for their ability to
reach right into the human body and remove anything that's not supposed to be there. Mostly found in Brazil
and the Philippines, people with these talents tend to have a strong connection to the spirit world and, through that, they are not actually entering the body in any capacity. Their abilities have been said to have an incredible effect on many who have believed in them. One such surgeon, a Brazilian native who calls himself John of God has been healing people since 1958. The difference between him and other psychic surgeons? Well, after he performs the operation, scars can be found inside
the body via X-rays. This is some Indiana Jones
kalima, kalima stuff. I don't like it. Freaks me out. Number eight is psychokinetic abilities. This one's right outta Star Wars. Use the force, Matt? I heard it. Psychokinesis, also called telekinesis, is the power of physical
manipulation over matter. With this ability, a psychic can reach out with their mind and move objects without actually touching them. Matthew Manning, a
British author and healer is one of the world's most well-known psychokinetics, and although he's faced skepticism from the scientific community, many of the abilities he's demonstrated cannot be explained. After testing Manning in the late 1970s, psychologist William Braud of
the Mind Science Foundation concluded that the results
were better than chance. In other words, it's
not exactly conclusive, but it's definitely not a no. It's probably better that most people don't have this ability, 'cause this would take pranks on YouTube
to a whole nother level. You could be pinchin'
butts with your mind. Ha ha, and shade thrown, all right. Number nine is psychometry. If you want to know your family history or who owned an antique coffee table before you did, you'd ask a grandparent or maybe Google it, but if you had the gift of psychometry, all you would have to do is come in
contact with the table. Psychometry is the
ability to read an object or person's history by simply placing a hand on them. One of the most famous psychometrists is Stefan Ossowiecki. He's a psychic from Russia who stunned thousands of people when he took on a test that was set up by a wealthy Hungarian man named Dionizy Jonky. After simply holding a sealed envelope, Stefan correctly identified its contents and identified the fact that the man had been guarding the envelope for up to eight years. Could you imagine if every
single person had this? Every time somebody shook someone else's hand you'd know exactly what they thought of you. That is a dangerous game. Hey Matt, nice to meet you. This guy is way balder and
shorter than I expected. Yikes. And number ten is precognition. When people hear that someone is psychic, they usually believe
the individual possesses the power to describe events
that are yet to occur. Well, those who practice precognition are often referred to as
precogs and have the ability to sense the future of a
person, animal or object through either touch or description. Sometimes a focus item is required, such as a jewel, a bowl of
liquid or a classic crystal ball. Precogs have been known
to receive not only visions of the future, but steps that must be taken to either ensure that it happens or if it's a foreboding
warning, how to stop it. One of the most famous documented cases of precognition happened in 1912 when multiple people came forward with visions that the Titanic was going to sink before the ship sank. Well, too bad they didn't pay attention to that because it did. It did make for a good movie, though.
