America’s Psychic Challenge

Sometimes I think I might be psychic, but I’m too scared to put myself out there and test myself. I often predict what my friends will say before they say it, I predict the ends of movies with very little clues (not hard to do these days however), I have dreams that relate to something that happens the next day, and often times The Mother and I or The Boyfriend and I share a strange rapport, where we’ll think of something at the same time.

Today I was watching America’s Psychic Challenge, and they had little ‘challenges’ for viewers to try out. The first one was pretty easy. They had six cards laid out face down and asked which one was the Jack. I picked the bottom middle (so did The Mother), and I was right.

Now the second challenge, that one was eerie. They showed a video clip of a woman walking down the street and the narrator said something along the lines of, ‘This was shot in California, but this woman isn’t from California. Where is she from?’ Before I knew what was going on, I blurted out ‘Minnesota.’ I assumed they meant out of the 50 states. But they gave three choices; Minnesota, New York, and Oregon. She was from Minnesota.

The third one was pretty boring. They showed three cell phones and asked which one would ring. The Mother and I both picked the third phone, and it was the third phone.

I’m assuming that there were subtle hints in the pictures or videos that subconsciously gave you the answer. In fact, when I saw the woman walking down the street, I knew she couldn’t be Californian, she looked very Midwestern. There are a number of states in the Midwest she could have been from, though.

Maybe I’m kidding myself, and I’m not really psychic… And if I don’t have any psychic prowess whatsoever, that show was very tricky in convincing me that I did, which leads me to want to watch their show more often.

Lisa Williams was a guest in one of the challenges on the show, I absolutely love her. She seems like the real deal, but I could be wrong. Being somewhat atheist (I say somewhat because I don’t have sure proof that there is no God), then my beliefs should tell me that mediums are totally fake. She seems very genuine, though. Maybe there is someplace we go after death, and we can still contact the ones we love even after we’ve left them, or after they’ve passed and left us behind.
