I'm wondering if I might be a little psychic - I often feel things just before they happen (about 5 seconds) without any logical explanation or reason, and sometimes know what someone is going to say, or a number they are going to tell me (even over the phone).
Does anyone have similar experiences (or know a down-to-earth discussion board like this one, but for psychic topics that I could check out)?
LOL...I can't pay you for the psychic service, but I can pay you for the compliment.
You can google all the terms you relate to the ability you believe to possess. Some sites will show up. Try a library too.
What kind of events did you predict?
Nothing major, it's usually just little things like knowing what numbers that someone is going to tell me about 2-3 seconds before they do. For example, I'll ask someone their phone number (not as in trying to get some woman's number, but at work or something), and I will write down numbers that I hear in my head before they even open their mouth, and then it will be the same numbers they say. It's very weird, and sometimes scary, but I don't think it's some amazing power where I could predict the winning lottery numbers. There's also other small things like unconsciously get up and walk over to answer the phone about 5-10 seconds before it rings, knowing the phone is going to ring, and it does, but it is not a constant thing that always happens, just some of the time, but enough for me to wonder.
If you suspect you may have special abilities, you ought to invest in gambling. If you have even a remotely greater chance at accurately predicting numbers and outcomes, you could probably do quite well.
It's probably telepathy. I suggest that you test your gambling luck before investing any money. You should explore what exactly you're capable of predicting. Telepathy does exist and is scientifically explained. Read more about it. You might need it.
That's like asking if God exists. The answer is always contingent on the person you're asking and their personal experiences. For me, I believe people have an awareness that many do not recognize. If you believe, that's all that really matters. Prove it to yourself and you've nothing more to prove.

Hmm, Lucky Dog. I see you're getting somewhat ridiculed for this post.
I've had the same thing happen to me for years. I'm not sure if it's psychic ability or an extremely strong intuition, but really what's the difference. Just remember to always trust your intuition.
It seems that all these wonderful abilities like telepathy, etc. always fail when they get tested. Maybe it's like with quantum physics, as soon as someone is watching, you influence the system, but I don't know. I'm always very sceptical of everything.

Nothing wrong with that kook. Lot's of people don't believe in this type of stuff. I've experienced it and had some freaky things happen to me over the years. It was never something I could turn on and off like career psychics claim they can do after they take your money and your time starts to run, but I do get a very loud voice (not literally, I'm not insane ) in my head telling me things sometimes. It's up to me whether I choose to pay attention or ignore it.
Usually when I ignore it, I want to kick myself later.
I wonder if what people claim to be the work of supranatural powers is just not a very high level of awareness of what is going on around oneself. I mean, there are so many things that you don't notice consciously, but on a subconscious level you do notice them.
I've met one guy in my life who claimed he had connections to some spiritual force. You had to write questions on a piece of paper and then burn it. The spirit then would give him the answer. I unfortunately didn't know him that well and I didn't have that much time to observe him thoroughly enough, but he seemed to sincerely believe it. I really wished I had been able to test him, it doesn't happen that often that you meet someone who doesn't look like a crazy woman dressed in long wide flowing gowns with funny hairstyle who claims to be a medium. That guy taught business English and actually was good-looking.
