sorry if other people have already asked these things but please bear with me alright... Up until I came to higschool I never was really curious about any of these things but well ever since my freshman year some odd things have happened... Such as when I wear a watch with an electric battery it dies within a day or two even if it is brand new. And thats not the half of it when I touch people and they look into my mind its like I'm in their head and can see what they're thinking about and well can change them around not to say I do it all the time but well it's quiet umm interesting.. and then there is the fact I can practically hear everything and high pitched things that a normal person shouldnt hear I hear them... plus I seem to hurt people without even realizing it last year a senior football player was giving me prblems he grabbed me inappropriately and well I shoved him threw a metal locker. this guy was at least 200 lbs and I weigh only 120 lbs.. I think it has something to do with my parents though but well I havent seen either in 7 years i did some research on my moms side but all I turned up was a really powerful witch family but my dads well that is still questionable I dont know but please can someone help me with these changes..

Uhm...witchcraft doesn't give you supernatural strength...

And...any particular reason you think your parents are involved?

well I think my parents are involved only because what I know of them was that they were really into alot of these things and I know the witchcraft has nothing to do with the strength.. and thats kind of why I'm starting to try and figure things out. There has been othe things too but I'm afraid if I talk about them you will probably think I'm nuts... but any help would be greatly appreciated

searching4thetruth,
I have to admit that I have a lot of weird, mysterious things happen to me, as well. It started when I was really young, and I know my mom and brother have similar things that happen to them. I'll explain a bit of what I mean...my personal abilities are extensive...I'm a prophetic dreamer...and I have visions, of past, present, future...it's weird you say that about the watches, however, because my mom has this, wouldn't say it's an ability, but, ha ha, she makes lights go out when she's by them...actually, someone on this forum told me that I have qualities of being a Psion...perhaps you do, as well...I'm involved in witchcraft, myself...not the usual, however...Kemetic, mostly...explain some of the weird things, and I'll relate and explain to you what I know...I'm always happy to help... ^_^
~Amaunet~

the lights thing yeah I do that too but well its gotten worse these days they umm sometimes blow a fuse which well really sucks have to buy nw bulbs all the time... other things are yes I see the past the future and the present events but I have always had that... well the really weird started happening this past year and they are really getting out of hand such as the fact that I have to take energy from others or I cant really function... yesterday I grabbed the handle on the screen door at my friends house to open it and I pulled it off the hinges...then there is the fact I keep having these really bizzare dreams and I can t seem to stay awake for the life of me during the day and at nigt I am wide awake and well up to this point you could probably work all this to being well adolescents or coincidences but the fact that there are other things too like... I manipulate others thoughts and I just really dont know what to do it is quiet frightening at times and people at my school have taken to treating me like a freak and just avoiding me but some good friends stick by me still :ph34r:

It's good that your true friends are stick by searching4thetruth....

the un-natural strength....it may be a mind over matter situation...for a split second, your mind lets go and your body is able to preform unreal actions. I know it sounds like something from the Matrix, but it happens....I know, it's happened to me....it's not everyday you see a 135lbs guy dent a metal door with one punch....I really don't know much on the subject....but it seems like your mind is opening up to it's real potential....but I doubt the people on this site would consider you a nut case...anyways....best of luck to you....

Your strength can definately be affected by energy. I mean there's thousands of stories of soccer moms lifting a a wrecked car off their child, or insane people or people on bad acid trips who are in extreme distress being able to break handcuffs or require like 8 adult men to subdue them. I don't think its just adrenaline, maybe it is and the energy just affects the adrenaline, i dunno, i think its just the energy itself and the effects it can have on the body.

I know i've done the super strong thing about a dozen or more times in my life (including one pair of busted handcuffs :P no i wasn't arrested it was more of a bedroom thing that took a turn i didn't like ). I've only had it happen when i was very excited though, drawing all the energy in reserve. And afterwards I usually need to feed big time. I think I could make it happen as long as something halfway exciting was happening. Its really exhillarating, feel like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound :lol: (not really but feels that way)

Kath

Hey, I've been one to notice that the super strength scenario kinda works different via psi abilities than it does with physical strength. For instance, once at school, someone who was training in Tae Kwon Do came in with a few boards for training, and got other people to take a crack at breaking the boards. When it came to my turn, he held the board, I concentrated slightly, in order to get the feel of things, and punched it. The board did not break, but instead, my mate got catapulted to the others side of the room, his back hit the wall, and he fell to the ground. About two seconds after, the board broke straight in two.

Also, I find myself being able to fend off several people at once, like when people are trying to subdue me when I'm angry, I just tend to carry them off with me, or when I'm fighting several people at once, I can accurately defend myself against them and then beat them, badly.

Well I haven't done the whol fighting of large groups of people yet thankfully but have taken on a few people twice my size when the odds where definetly against me...but well as for of late usually all I have to do is get into their heads and they back off. personally I dont like messing with peoples head it kind of gives me an unfair advantage but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...

Adrenaline is the obvious answer.

I think adrenaline is the "physical" or "scientific" answer people would give one with such abilities...I think it's living in denial, personally. I think it's possible that Psi abilities (such as Final Ultima said) is quite true...I don't think I'm a psi vampire, perhaps a powerful psion as Kath has explained, but I have abilities such as you have explained...one time, when I was little, I remember having to go to the Emergency room, because I had gotten cut on my leg, and needed stiches. I screamed and punched and kicked and finally my mom and dad, and ten nurses held me down as the doctor gave me a shot and I remember feeling a electric pulse and I felt super charged and the doctor and nurses all backed away...even my parents...and a new doctor had to come and complete the procedure. I have weird coinsidences happen all the time...I have seen spirits, in dreams and being awake...I can concentrate and know what others are thinking...I have premonitions almost everyday, now, and they get more frequent as time goes by...I can move a flame with my mind...I have telepathy with my pets when being awake...and I have telepathy with everything in dreams...and just...really, profound, in-depth things other than these which I rather not say at the moment...it seems to me, though, that since I converted over to a pagan influenced relgion, even though my religion really is not "pagan" in all it's aspects, it seems though that I have learned to harness and become more powerful...I feel really strong and all-powerful for the first time...so, perhaps there is more to this than "adrenaline"...perhaps there are forces in us afterall..he he ^_^ :ph34r:

Living in denial of what, exactly? Reason? ;)

I think you should join the X-men, if you are this powerful. You'd put the rest to shame. :P Seriously, though, i'm not a believer in such things. I do like a good imagination, however.

Dark Allure,
When you have seen what I and so many others have seen, it kind of changes what you normally "believe" to be real and not real...I use to be a person who was really practical and skeptical...but when I saw some unexplainable things, it kind of made me think "Wow, maybe there is more.." The truth is here if you just become open to "novel" ideas...I wasn't trying to be rude in the sense that I put "denial"...I hope you did not take offense to my phrasing...that is just the way I put things...but, seriously, I can not doubt everything "weird" and "unusual" in this world, because, for me, that is denial...denial of everything I have read, learned, seen, and done...adrenaline plays an aspect, but to everything in this world, there is more to it than science and "physical" senses...I'm trying to be open and say that science plays a role in everything, but, from what I "know" to be true...it's just as hard for me to relate things to science and the physical as it is for some people to relate things to the spiritual and unexplicable...
And, I'm not "powerful"...we all have these gifts, if you've ever read any of my other posts...I don't claim to be the most powerful, all I said was that I "feel" all-powerful compared to my normal state...I am not an X-men...those are "made" through television...but there are things close to their abilities...I am not as powerful as others in the world...I practice what I can do...however, I must note, that we all have abilities, even you...some have not noticed it, yet...it's not bad to be different...as much as I love imagination, I do not lie or "make" things up...I told you, I know what I know through experience and teachings and readings into such things...not everything in the world should be analytical...I'm also not downing you for not believing in these things...to each his/her own...that is your right...I think it's good to hold onto your own beliefs of things...however, maybe the both of us could be a little more open...I apologize on my part of that...I'll be more open... ^_^
Once again, I trust and hope I did not offend you or anyone else...

You didn't offend me at all! I'm only teasing, really. ;) I like your attitude. Personal experience is a big power in shaping how we see the world. I, myself, have never had anything unexplained happen to me. Well, nothing remarkable. So you can understand that i don't buy any of it. It really is a case of 'to each their own'. I'd love to have powers, frankly. I just don't! :lol:

Ok, now I feel a bit better knowing I didn't offend you! ^_^ ...what a relief...I was like "no enemies...I have enough as it is.." ha ha...not really, but you know people these days...ha ha...but, yeah, I'm sure there's more to you than you think there is...I'm sure you have an ability of some kind...never doubt yourself...heck, even knowledge is an ability...anything can be...don't sell yourself short...I think you're an awesome person, for what it's worth...

being in agreeance to what most of you have put adrenaline could be one explanation but in my experience it has been highly doubtful but not totally ruled out...I posted my poll because I am just trying to figure out what is happening to me and well it gets worse by the day and pretty uncontrollable... :huh: I am almost afraid that I might hurt someone if it get's much more out of hand. :ph34r: .. yesterday was pretty bad I was really angry at this guy who wouldn't leave me alone he just kept pushing..when he finally left and was standing over by my friends tv with a couple of his cronies I could hear him talking about how he was going to get me in bed.. I felt the occasional tk welling up inside I just got so pissed that it hurt me to bottle the anger up I let it flow out and the tv blew up throughing glass shards into his face and hands.. it was a pretty bloody mess and well afterwards I felt so terrible but when it happened all I could feel was pleasure in it happening to him... coincidence I think not but always possible... now some of you might say he got what he deserved but none the less what gives me the right to deal out such punishments ......

I don't have any powers, Amaunet. I couldn't move a candle flame with my mind, let alone anything else. :lol:

Blowing up televisions?! Getting a bit X-files for me.

like I said it is strange and sometimes unbelievable but it happens to me and be glad that it doesn't happen to you because all it does is ruin my life or the life I could have had without being such a freak of nature like I am sure that you think I am allure....but this is my life that I have to live maybe I am living it because someone like you couldn't or anyone else for that matter and there is nothing it seems that I can do about it and it is just going to keep getting worse and I am sure running out of ideas how to get a handle on it and unsure wether I ever will. .. pretty much I am just really losing well hope... :ph34r:

Why don't you use your powers for good? Did i really say that!? :lol:

it's kind of like I cant exactly control them otherwise well I would :ph34r: because I real hate hurting people even if they do deserve it

*puts on the skeptical hat*
Okay, about the preternatural strength... I have found that nearly anything is possible for a machine as wondrous and complex as the human body. FinalUltima managed, with only a little training and some natural talent, to throw people around and break objects which are harder than his hands.
I have a lot of training, and a lot of natural talent. I'm also in excellent shape. I can break bricks with my open palms, pull crowbars in half, and kick holes in car doors, when I choose to. I tend to giggle when big strong men start talking about "nobody is strong enough to..." whatever, because functional strength is such a complicated issue.
Currently my research is pointing me towards the bioelectromagnetic aura of the human body, and I am finding references to people that can throw off EMPs from their body, enough to disrupt photographic equipment and film. Theoretically, someone that learns to control their own BEMA can accomplish a wide range of feats, like small telekinesis, or teleptathic and projective empathy. BUT there is absolutely nothing to verify this, it's all speculation and theory. In principle there are astounding ramifications, but there is NOT ONE SINGLE SHRED of evidence that holds up under the smallest skepticism.
So, for psionic effects, there is little to support. But physical feats are well-documented.

I reckon the natural talent is a lot greater and goes a lot further than the amount of training I do, if I got into shape, I reckon I could probably do the brick breaking and stuff like that as well. Mind you, it's not something I really want to experiment with that much, in case I'm not strong enough and my hands just end up getting sore. Also, I tend not to use my abilities that often, in case something like the face burning incident happens again.

well like I said I pretty much agree wit you all and th reason I asked is becaI dont undertad whatsgoing on........usually I am thetype of person togo for the obvious but since well this has been happening for a while it seems quiet apparent to me that well the obvious or the logical answer just doesn't cut it anymore no matter how hard I try to explain what is well happening.... :ph34r: ......I am sure I am at just as much at a lost for all of this as the rest of you are but tanks for all that you have done so far and maybe you can further help me in trying to find out what is happening to me

I don't mean to be offend anyone here but physical violence is a sign of a weak psi-
I am thirty-five years old and by all means not a wimp, I played high school football, a former golden gloves boxer, and was Airborne in the army.
I have never got into a fight all my life (non-athletic and i don't count the army bar brawls).
I never had to get into that situation, I even used to be in a lowrider car club in Cali., hung out at pool halls, and in those dark spots every city has at night.
No fights yet I stand as one of the leaders of any group I was in at any time. I am also small at 5'4" and 130lbs but can lift a 100lb custom motorcycle engine and put it in a ridged frame no prob.
So be cool and enjoy life.
And about you hearing things that no one else can, I am not trying to tease you but it might be psycological problem, I hope not, but if it is and goes untreated you will hear more- I guarantee it.

first of all you spelt psychological wrong and I dont go looking for fights where I live you are femal you are automatically expected to put out and I happen to be a person who has a little more respect for themselves than most in my town.... and I went to a doctor who did document the fact that I did have abnormally high hearing for an average person....but infinity more power to you that yoare a natural born leader I just tend to be someone who doesn't like flowing with the rest of the stream wether I lead it or not.... but wellI suppose we will alway needthose people to lead te rest of the sheep that make up our society

Well, personally, I don't go out intentionally getting into fights or anything, but when you're surrounded by several people all equipped with various weapons, ready to beat you down until you're unable to move just so they can either laugh at you or steal something from you, you tend to want to defend yourself. Plus there's all the spars I had when I was young. On another note, physical strength isn't a sign of weak psi if you can do most of the other aspects of psi as well, then they just go hand in hand.

alrighty then how about no fitting guys okay... though personally I agree with final ultima.... it just goes hand in hand according to the research that I have been doing.......so lets just chill out I mean we are all ifferent and I equaly respect maybe not always agree ith all your opinnions but thats the beauty of having this dscussion like I ahve sad time and again I am just trying to figure things out

Well put searching4thetruth. Oh, and I think 'fighting' was the word you were looking for, not 'fitting'.

hehe oops probably should of used spell check on that last post but like I was saying you all have alot of great information that inspite of many things you are all helping in your own ways and well it is quiet good to not always speak to straight out skeptics though there are a few sometimes who get through... ^_^ .... and well its nice not to feel alone in all my struggles that seem to just keep getting better...so in short thanks

Don't mention it, we all have our own part to play in this, one way or another.

This would all be so much easier, if there was a school for young gifted mutants. ;)

Someone has been watching X-Men too much, and for once it isn't CoffinRox.

Soz. I need some new material. Mmmmm, Sephiroth.

Please don't interpret me based on my avatar. Now, back to the topic at hand.

alright alright enough with the mutant stuff ...but in actualliyt maybe not a school but somewhere where people colud well go to learn to control themselves and well their excuse me for saying this gifts...okay now i am probably going to get made fun of but well in my opinnion it wouldnt be such a bad idea

If i judged people based on avatars, what would that say about me? I mean...look at mine! :lol: Nah, i just like Sephiroth.

I'm not entirely convinced you even have powers, searching. I mean, you've not done anything really unusual. Nothing that can be attributed directly to yourself, other than being strong. Plenty of people are deceptively strong, that doesn't make their strength preternatural. Can you, for instance, lift a car?

Searching, is there any other stuff you haven't told us that you have done...trying to be open to both sides, I have to be both questioning and trusting...so, is there anything other than this 'strength'? Any weird stuff? Because I know from my experiences that I'm not 'physically' strong, but when my mind is concentrated, I feel stronger...and I do stuff that is unbelievable...because I am really short and skinny..lol...but, I do have a lot of weird junk happening all the time, so, I'm thinking, if your abilities involve strength, perhaps they encompass something else??? Do Tell...

Sephiroth? That sounds familiar..what's it from? I know once ya'll tell me I'll feel stupid, but, lol...think my friend told me something about that...
I LOVE your avatar, Final Ultima...it's awesome...partially because I like the weapon that it's holding...I'm into weaponry...lol...I like to learn to fight with 'em...what can I say? I'm violent..lol...j/k...not really...but I am training with Sai's...so...ha ha...

I bid you farewell, for now...
~Amaunet~
*Goddess of Mysteries*

well okay other stuff is that i have a real strong empathic power to the point sometimes i take on other peoples emotions and it really sucks...then there is the telepathy that can get very annoying...and then there is the preconative i think thats what it is called i always get a sense about things before they happen...and well when i touch things or people i know alot about them immediatly...though i always figured that was because i was very psychicly intuitive

I apologize for any inconvinience that my remarks had caused, and feel free to correct my spelling at any time.
There is nothing wrong with defending yourself, in fact that is when THE ENEMY MUST BE DESTROYED! I should have mentioned that with my first poster, I have always been fortunate to avoid such clashes . It seems that Searchingforthetruth is very capable of doing that, may it be a physical, psychological, or in a FORUM.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvinience that my remarks had caused.
Let's not fight amongst each other for we know there are those out there that would be more that happy to destroy us and our lifestyle.

Sephiroth is from Final Fantasy 7. Pity he aint a real man, and is just a game character. He has a great sword! I collect them, myself.

Searching, you sound like you have just about every Psychic power!

You know... I totally understand your skepticism Dark Allure.
I'm a cynical and scientific minded person myself. I have the Dana Sculley gene or something. But there comes a point where sometimes what you see and experience challenges what you believe.
If you believe that the world is flat, and you are shown a picture of it from space showing it round... its all too easy and comfortable to just dismiss the picture as a fake, or an anomaly, or a forgery, or maybe the picture didn't really exist after all, perhaps seeing it was just a dream. or maybe... well you get the idea. anyways it sounds silly doesnt it? But we definately as a species behave in this way.
I dissagree with your skepticism because i have had experiences which did not fit with the secular scientific explanation of things. Frankly i found it upsetting for a long time. I was very attatched to not believing in anything, and it was frustrating to keep having experiences which sure they 'could maybe possibly' be explained away by some convoluted contrivance of 'rational explanation' but really when I looked at the mathematical probabillities for some of these 'it was just chance' type explanations, it became clear to me that I was basically living in denial.
I realised i was favoring what i 'believed' instead of what I actually saw. Atheism and science can both be every bit as rooted in ferverent belief as any religeon. I was ignoring the more obvious face value explanations (Okham's Razor) because they didn't fit my secular world view.
So I changed my world view.
But, I definately understand and respect your cynicism... If I had not had fist hand experiences to the contrary, i'd agree with you.

~ Kath

I must say that many of my posts on here are not particularly serious, or even meant to be considered valid, in and of themselves. However, i admit i am a natural skeptic. A hardened one, even. I've never seen anything i couldn't explain. I am biased in such a way as to consider those who push "supernatural" experiences, as being more lazy than myself in seeking grounded and rational explanations. I think it is the responsibility of everyone who respects Science and the value of honesty, to explore fully whatever claims people make.

Hard evidence might always be denied those investigating the paranormal. If it is, i will remain skeptical, but attempt to stay honest. :P An explanation within the boundaries of what is natural, will always be superior to a supernatural explanation.

technically i don't believe in anything 'supernatural'

I just think that our understanding of the 'natural' is not as all encompassing as we are led to believe.

here's a thought... one i developed after a lot of problems i was having in figuring out what i believe...
I decided that asside from the fact that i exist (i think therefore i am), and asside from a handfull of mathematical and logical syligisms, that nothing is absolutely proveable... and nothing is absolutely disproveable. this may sound very abstract, I don't mean to say that the world doesnt exist, or that subjective reality is my thing, far from it. Since we can only sense our surroundings through our senses, we have to assume that they are essentially valid, and that the outside world exists. However... nothing at all about the universe we percieve is 'absolutely proveable' in the true sense. I try to keep this in mind when forming opinions... Instead of wholy agreeing or dissagreeing, I try to give ideas a 'probability rating' Nothing is impossible, and nothing can be taken absolutely for granted, but anything can be considered 'likely', 'unlikely', 'very likely', etc.

I guess i found a truer way (than atheism) to not believe in anything ;)
~ Kath

I agree, at least to some degree. You have to use your...i don't like the term common-sense...but you know what i mean. Some things are very likely to be the case, some are just not. I have my beliefs, but i am aware that they are not proven. As long as they are better supported by the available evidence, than any alternative i know off, i am happy with them. Otherwise, i will change them.

Atheism is something i go along with, simply because i do not believe in the divine. I also hate sitting on the fence too much to be an Agnostic. ;)

ahh, well i'm a fanatical agnostic :lol:

I will stray off the fence, but I think anything off the fence is pure conjecture (of varying quality) ;)

~ Kath

okay okay i get it, it is pretty unbelievable i guess you wold just ave to walk a mile in my shoes dark allure to truly understand me and my expriences.......though your views differ from others it does not say that they still dont have as much validity.....pesonally i think everybody has these gifts and some people just choose to acknowledge and use them more than others i posted my post in hopes of finding people who had perhaps experienced the samthings as i ad and could shed a little light on things andwas a bit hopeful not to get made fun of or ridiculled for it........ but i suppose by know i should just get used to the idea that i may never really fit in or belong in this time or this place n matter how much people become enlightened they will probably always view those of us who are a little different as threats to their precious ways of life sorry if i have caused any troublw in my search for the truth.........

It is, and i guess it has to be. I just believe there is no God or gods, based on what evidence i have encountered. It isn't a matter of knowing, at all.

Don't be silly, searching! I am an equal opportunities skeptic! I am the same with everyone! Just because i am not a believer in such things, doesn't alter reality. If these things are real, they don't need my belief. You keep on searching! I'm sorry if you felt ridiculed, i meant no offence.

Hey searching, i agree with ya hon,

I mean sure my experiences are different, but pretty similar i think.

I definately know what you mean about getting inside other people's heads. I tend to do that almost automatically, like instinct. I get it from more from conversation though, touching somewhat too, but in a deep conversation, I slip in pretty reliably. Even from far away. Some people are hard to feel out though.

And the strength thing i already agreed with above :)

I never have had any effect on watch batteries, but everything else sounded very familiar to me. Anyways, I really like opinions and views different from my own (at least the first few times i hear them). I mean, if nothing else its food for thought (no psi vamp pun intended :P )

Kathryn :)

Any new ideas on this? I myself have the same effects on watches. I have been known to hurt people by accident. And I am stronger than I think when I am not thinking about doing something. My being clumsy only explains some of thiese.
