Do you have any creepy powers? What are they, what do they do, and how are they powers?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) April 30th, 2010

You know, like telekinesis, telepathy, seeing ghosts, having lights go on or off as you enter the room, can you talk to animals, do you attract ravens, do insects obey you, can you command the weather, can you make potions and elixirs, do your drawings come to life, do you have powers of divination? Can you levitate yourself? Have you discovered that dreaming is actually another world or something like that?
It sounds like a joke, but I’m being serious. I wanna know any weird, nearly inexplicable thing you might have experienced in yourself, weird stuff you can do, whether you understand it or not.
Not paranormal experiences per say, but something that seems natural to you, even though it clearly isn’t for most people. Are you able to explain it? Where does it come from?
Smartass comments like ’‘common sense’’ or ’‘intelligence’’ welcomed, but at least say something about Stephen King or something.

I’m able to see the future with 95% accuracy, the downside is that if I try to do anything about it, or if it’s conducted under scientific conditions it totally fails. That’s the 5%.

So I know the future, but if I act on it, something else happens.

Berserker's avatar

That thing is still going on? Haha….knowing what will be, but not being able to do a damn thing about it. Doesn’t that get annoying?

grumpyfish's avatar

@Symbeline I’ve gotten used to it. Sort of have to ignore it

I am able to see the color of any Fluther users undergarment. Yes, even through the internet.

@RedPowerLady I bet you never guessed mine were made out of beer cans.

@Symbeline No I don’t know the material, but I did know they were silver ;)

@grumpyfish What if I was lying?

@RedPowerLady Damnit foiled again by my own genious plans! XD

grumpyfish's avatar

@Symbeline Well, since I don’t expect to meet you and get your pants off, I don’t actually know what underwear you’re wearing, just what you’re going to say about it. (That is, my power is one of knowing my future experience, not of knowing events that I won’t be experiencing).

I have something.
When, in soccer, a penalty kick is given (or in penalty shoot outs) 8 to 9 out of 10 times i can ‘see’ if the striker is going to miss it or score it.
From the moment they walk to the spot untill their foot kicks the ball, i ‘know’ the outcome (again, 8 or 9 out of 10 times).
To me that seems higher then what i would expect it to be (5?).
And of course i can’t prove a thing about it, but i noticed it and made it my eery power.
Not that there is any use of it, i can’t use it for betting, there simply is not time enough to place a bet when a penalty kick is being given in a live match.
And of course when i want to impress a fellow football watcher with it, the 1 or 2 out of 10 turns up.

I knew my husband dirty danced with a girl at a party without anyone telling me about it. No, I wasn’t at the party. I even knew her name and the colour of her shirt. Still freaks me out.

Berserker's avatar

@grumpyfish Aaah I see. That makes sense too. Seems so simple, but I’ve never even thought of it that way. Guess I was thinking about stuff like Nostrad..something, too much.

Berserker's avatar

@cazzie That’s creepy. My mom said she had experiences like that, too.

aprilsimnel's avatar

Yes. My eerie power is that when I enter an empty store, within 2 minutes that store is chock-full of customers. Passers-by seem to be lured into stores I go in.

Sometimes I will look around me at those moments and think, “Well, my work here is done. Carry on selling your high-quality and attractive wares, good citizen,” as I take my purchases and myself away.

Berserker's avatar

@aprilsimnel Interesting. Maybe you should start your own business…it might be successful.

cazzie's avatar

@Symbeline Yeah, I had to make up some story as to how I knew about,,,, but I had to get a confession out of him first…. he did. My images went way further than just dirty dancing… but I found out later that she did call him and wanted a hook up… but he turned her down. So, he said, but who knows, really. Odd thing, if I had not had the vision, I never would have known.. and I kind of wish I didn’t know.

DominicX's avatar

I don’t, but my mom has an uncanny ability to find exactly what she is looking for at thrift shops. These can be really specific jewelry items or decorations and she’ll find exactly what she was imagining. It’s a little odd, I must admit. She calls it “phenomenal luck”.

Berserker's avatar

@cazzie Yeah…with all the what ifs and who knows, it makes me think that some things are probably better left unknown. On the other hand, maybe it woulda been worse without the vision?

tinyfaery's avatar

I always know when my wife is about 5 minutes from home. I’m her puppy.

I also jokingly refer to myself as the cat whisperer. But really, I seem to have a way with them.

In high school during an experiment, I called twenty-five coin tosses.
34 million to one.

Can’t get more than three numbers on the lottery. LOL

I can control people’s actions with the power of my mind.

ucme's avatar

I can maintain an erection for hours at a time regardless, the power of christ compels you, so says my wife bless. Forgive her she’s a little nutty.Oh & I almost forgot, she turns off street lights whenever she walks near them,creepy but true.

Berserker's avatar

@ucme I believe it. The same thing happens to me with street lights, and some various other types of light. It happens WAY too often, and has been going on for way too long for it to just be a coincidence of them shutting down as I happen to walk by. I’ve never understood it though.

And the erection thing haha…you should walk around naked in your house with a great big erection going; WHO DA MAN, WHO DA MAN?! I would.

@Captain_Fantasy O rly?

ucme's avatar

@Symbeline Hmm when the kids go beddy bye’s the pork sword comes out to play.So she’s not alone in her light extinguishing prowess then, thank fuck for that.She reckons she’s just supercharged with static electricity & that’s what causes it.

chels's avatar

I can drink and not get a hangover. Ever.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I can make the wind shift. All I have to do is be aiming at a target. I can make traffic appear just by being in a hurry. @Symbeline Molsons cans?

HungryGuy's avatar

The street light thing seems to be a fairly common psychic ability. I, too, make street lights turn on and off when I pass by them. But it’s not under conscious control—it’s totally random and unexpected.

One time, I noticed this happen at a street corner I was standing at. I thought, maybe, the idiot electricians wired one of the street lights into the traffic light circuit. So I watched the street light and the traffic signal to see if the street light matched any of the green, yellow, or red lights. Nope! It turned on and off independently and at random.

Yes, if there is an arrogant prick within a hundred mile radius, I can make him appear at the next cash register I visit.
