Hey guys, it's Mikey Chen.

0:00:01.428,0:00:06.920
Whenever the word "psychic" is mentioned, [br]most people would probably think of crystal balls

0:00:06.928,0:00:10.168
or random fortune tellers [br]they pass by on the streets.

0:00:10.160,0:00:14.857
Although in my opinion, I think that [br]most if not all these psychics are fake,

0:00:14.850,0:00:18.902
I do believe that psychic [br]powers itself could really exist.

0:00:18.902,0:00:21.702
Even scientists are [br]conducting research in this field.

0:00:21.700,0:00:24.833
For example, last year, in a [br]study conducted by researchers

0:00:24.833,0:00:27.485
from Starlab and Harvard Medical School,

0:00:27.485,0:00:32.468
a person in India said 'ola' and 'ciao' [br]to three other people in France.

0:00:32.468,0:00:35.760
The greetings were not [br]spoken, typed or texted.

0:00:35.760,0:00:40.480
The communication in question happened [br]between the brains of a set of study subjects,

0:00:40.480,0:00:45.840
marking this one of the first instances [br]of brain-to-brain communication on record.

0:00:45.840,0:00:52.011
Of course, in this case, telepathy is just one of [br]many psychic abilities that people may possess.

0:00:52.011,0:00:55.200
And in this video, we will [br]explore a few more

0:00:55.200,0:00:58.632
and I'll introduce you [br]to some real life individuals

0:00:58.648,0:01:02.128
who may actually possess [br]real psychic powers.

0:01:05.805,0:01:08.091
Number 1: the [br]5-year-old mind reader.

0:01:08.091,0:01:10.640
Five-year-old Ramses Sanguino is special.

0:01:10.640,0:01:15.908
Not only is he learning seven languages and [br]solving complex maths problems at this young age,

0:01:15.900,0:01:19.293
he is able to say with unerring [br]accuracy which random numbers

0:01:19.293,0:01:22.128
his mom Nyx is looking at [br]and thinking about.

0:01:22.128,0:01:26.530
Ramses is believed to be one [br]of the top five savants in the world

0:01:26.530,0:01:31.106
and is working with former Harvard [br]Medical School faculty Dr. Diane Powell,

0:01:31.106,0:01:34.914
who is studying Ramses as part [br]a research project into telepathy.

0:01:34.914,0:01:39.246
Dr. Powell said, "I am as [br]confident that telepathy exists

0:01:39.246,0:01:43.188
as I am a lot of things that have [br]actually been accepted by science."

0:01:43.188,0:01:47.725
She also said that, other scientists [br]don't usually believe in telepathy.

0:01:47.720,0:01:50.360
but she has met [br]with many who said

0:01:50.360,0:01:53.896
they have actually experienced it [br]or witnessed it themselves.

0:01:53.890,0:01:56.900
and "don't come forward" [br]because they are afraid that

0:01:56.900,0:02:00.217
they would be ridiculed or [br]possibly even lose their jobs.

0:02:00.217,0:02:04.137
Ramses, who is described as having [br]a high functioning form of autism,

0:02:04.137,0:02:08.697
has apparently demonstrating telepathy [br]in home videos recorded by his mother.

0:02:08.690,0:02:12.248
In meetings with Dr. Powell, she [br]used a random-number generator

0:02:12.256,0:02:15.248
to pick numbers for the mother [br]to write and think about

0:02:15.256,0:02:19.090
and get Ramses to try and read [br]his mother's mind to guess them.

0:02:19.090,0:02:22.176
In one test, Ramses was [br]able to correctly guess

0:02:22.176,0:02:26.688
16 out of 17 numbers - [br]including one double digit number.

0:02:26.688,0:02:32.280
Next, Pyrokinesis is the ability to create [br]and manipulate fire with one's mind

0:02:32.280,0:02:35.380
and probably the most famous [br]pop culture adaptation

0:02:35.380,0:02:38.120
of this psychic ability is [br]Stephen King's Carrie.

0:02:38.120,0:02:40.904
Well, this ability might actually be real

0:02:40.912,0:02:42.410
so, if you ever meet

0:02:42.411,0:02:48.045
or eventually down the road happened to take [br]one of the next two girls on this list to the prom,

0:02:48.045,0:02:49.794
just remember to be nice to them!

0:02:49.794,0:02:55.440
And with that, let's talk about number 2 [br]on our list, the 11-year-old firestarter.

0:02:55.440,0:02:58.674
In the spring of 2012 in Vietnam,

0:02:58.674,0:03:04.560
news spread of an 11-year-old “fire girl” [br]in Ho Chi Minh City’s Tân Bình District

0:03:04.560,0:03:07.977
whose supernatural abilities [br]have scientists puzzled.

0:03:07.977,0:03:11.942
According to the girl’s father, [br]fires appear whenever she goes.

0:03:11.942,0:03:14.365
The electricity in their [br]home short-circuited,

0:03:14.365,0:03:18.834
and many electrical sockets in the house [br]started to burn when the girl approached them.

0:03:18.834,0:03:24.434
Mattresses, fans, and other items in their home [br]will mysteriously burst into flame as well.

0:03:24.434,0:03:26.788
Sometimes, even [br]her clothing will catch fire.

0:03:26.788,0:03:30.274
She even burned the entire [br]third floor of the family's house.

0:03:30.274,0:03:34.411
The same phenomenon happened when [br]the family visited the homes of others.

0:03:34.411,0:03:38.262
A fire even started in their hotel room [br]when they were vacationing,

0:03:38.260,0:03:43.973
Doctors at the local Cho Ray Hospital and No. 2 [br]Children’s Hospital have examined the girl.

0:03:43.973,0:03:48.034
Blood, skin, and urine, as [br]well as objects from her home

0:03:48.030,0:03:50.840
but could find nothing [br]physically unusual about the girl.

0:03:50.840,0:03:53.980
But they do agree that [br]she is in fact different.

0:03:53.980,0:03:56.464
A group of researchers [br]from various fields,

0:03:56.470,0:03:58.653
led by Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung,

0:03:58.653,0:04:02.792
Director of Ho Chi Minh City [br]International University of Hong Bang,

0:04:02.792,0:04:07.200
rejected environment as the element [br]causing the girl’s special ability

0:04:07.288,0:04:10.170
because fires happened [br]everywhere she went.

0:04:10.171,0:04:16.697
And theorize that the girl’s biological energy [br]is not stable and fluctuates from time to time.

0:04:16.697,0:04:22.582
Hung conducted brain scans and uncovered [br]an unusual line on the right side of the girl's brain.

0:04:22.580,0:04:25.904
He also said there is a [br]red mark on her forehead

0:04:25.912,0:04:29.600
that disappears when she [br]puts on a black quartz bracelet

0:04:29.600,0:04:32.377
and reappears when [br]the bracelet is removed.

0:04:32.377,0:04:34.674
However, whenever the girl [br]wears the bracelet,

0:04:34.674,0:04:40.000
she not only feels uncomfortable, but also feels [br]electric current running through her body.

0:04:40.000,0:04:44.520
Hung also said, the girl is able to [br]burn objects both near and far from her

0:04:44.536,0:04:48.690
with no apparent distance limit, [br]so kind of like a fire sniper.

0:04:48.690,0:04:52.308
Researchers at the Viet Nam Physics [br]Institute are also studying the case.

0:04:52.308,0:04:55.120
The girl is escorted to [br]school and other places.

0:04:55.120,0:05:00.148
Her home and school have been [br]equipped with fire extinguishers, just in case.

0:05:00.148,0:05:03.485
Number 3: the three-year-old [br]who can manipulate fire.

0:05:03.480,0:05:09.440
In March of 2011, news of a 3-year-old [br]child who can produce fire with her mind

0:05:09.448,0:05:11.960
drew hundreds of [br]curious people and media

0:05:11.976,0:05:14.860
to her home in Antique Province [br]in central Philippines.

0:05:14.860,0:05:19.453
Those who were there swore they saw clothes, [br]sleeping mats, pillows and paper ignites

0:05:19.453,0:05:21.542
immediately after the girl said they would.

0:05:21.542,0:05:25.977
Mayor Molina of San Jose was one of [br]hundreds who witnessed this phenomenon.

0:05:25.977,0:05:32.537
He says he saw a pillow burst into flames [br]immediately after the child said “fire... pillow."

0:05:32.537,0:05:37.600
He also said that once he was in the girl's home, [br]when she blurted out "something about to burn",

0:05:37.600,0:05:41.222
a shirt on the clothesline outside [br]inexplicably burst into flames.

0:05:41.222,0:05:44.697
Molina said: "Nobody touched [br]it or was even close to it.

0:05:44.697,0:05:47.862
It just started in seconds. [br]The shirt was on fire.”

0:05:47.860,0:05:53.086
Mayor Molina was also quoted in an interview with [br]The Daily Guardian, a local community newspaper

0:05:53.288,0:05:55.010
as saying “I can’t explain it!

0:05:55.010,0:05:58.600
I’m a town mayor, and I don’t easily [br]believe in this kind of thing,

0:05:58.624,0:06:01.220
but I saw it. I am at a loss.”

0:06:01.222,0:06:03.268
Number 4: the telepathic girl.

0:06:03.268,0:06:07.965
Being autistic, Nandana Unnikrishnan [br]is not like most other girls her age.

0:06:07.965,0:06:11.611
And, what really sets her apart [br]is her alleged telepathic ability.

0:06:11.610,0:06:14.720
Nandana’s parents first [br]became aware of her abilities

0:06:14.736,0:06:18.090
when they began to notice [br]“unusual coincidences”

0:06:18.091,0:06:22.834
when it came to her almost premeditated [br]responses to her mother’s thoughts and feelings.

0:06:22.834,0:06:26.697
Such as, the name of the food her mother [br]was thinking of preparing for her

0:06:26.690,0:06:30.153
and she would know about [br]and starts reacting to places

0:06:30.153,0:06:33.210
her parents decided to take [br]her but has not told her yet.

0:06:33.210,0:06:36.866
According to initial testing, it appears [br]that Nandana has the ability

0:06:36.866,0:06:41.108
to read her mother's thoughts and [br]emotions with no physical contact.

0:06:41.108,0:06:45.451
And in one test, Nandana and her mother [br]were placed in separate rooms

0:06:45.450,0:06:49.520
and Nandana's mother was given [br]a 6 digit number to glance at.

0:06:49.520,0:06:52.011
When Nandana was able to [br]type the number with ease,

0:06:52.010,0:06:58.365
the researchers decided to up the ante, and [br]gave her mother a Grade 2 level poem to read.

0:06:58.365,0:07:04.262
When prompted, the young girl was able to [br]type the entire poem without any issues.

0:07:04.260,0:07:06.816
The results have stunned [br]skeptical researchers

0:07:06.840,0:07:10.680
like Dr. Phillip John of the [br]Indian Psychiatric Society,

0:07:10.685,0:07:15.040
who told the Khaleej Times that he [br]believes Nandana’s case is genuine.

0:07:15.040,0:07:19.302
The case has even attracted the [br]attention of Dr. Darold A. Treffert,

0:07:19.300,0:07:21.648
whose work in the [br]field of gifted children

0:07:21.664,0:07:26.220
has earned him the reputation [br]of “godfather of savant research”.

0:07:26.228,0:07:29.942
And yes! I believe he is currently [br]trying to assemble a team of X-Men!

0:07:29.940,0:07:32.288
Anyway, doctor Treffert told [br]the Khaleej Times that

0:07:32.288,0:07:36.730
"Nandana’s case is extraordinarily [br]rare in an already rare condition,

0:07:36.731,0:07:39.062
but with far-reaching ramifications."

0:07:39.062,0:07:42.160
And finally, number 5: [br]the 8-year-old healer.

0:07:42.160,0:07:44.472
Faith healing is another psychic ability

0:07:44.472,0:07:48.448
and in the slums of Brazil, [br]8-year-old Alani Santos

0:07:48.472,0:07:53.100
claims to be able to channel divine [br]powers in order to perform faith healing.

0:07:53.108,0:07:55.634
Healing everything from cancer to HIV.

0:07:55.630,0:07:59.048
In her YouTube videos, Alani [br]can be seen in her father's church

0:07:59.056,0:08:02.568
helping an elderly woman [br]to walk without using a stick,

0:08:02.634,0:08:07.085
and 'healing' a man who has been [br]suffering from HIV for seven years.

0:08:07.080,0:08:10.928
Twice a week, people from across [br]Brazil file into the church

0:08:11.000,0:08:13.880
for a chance to be touched [br]by the girl's healing hands.

0:08:13.885,0:08:19.622
Alani has been doing this since 2012, and [br]says she enjoys helping people get better

0:08:19.622,0:08:23.405
and plans on being a doctor [br]to continue helping the sick.

0:08:23.400,0:08:25.908
Describing her 'powers', Alani says:

0:08:25.908,0:08:32.125
"A lot of the time I just touch people, sometimes [br]I pray and worship and the person is cured."

0:08:32.120,0:08:33.919
You know, there are many [br]Eastern belief systems

0:08:33.919,0:08:39.417
that say we all have the so-called psychic [br]abilities as they were part of our innate abilities.

0:08:39.417,0:08:43.107
For example, mother sometimes [br]experience ugly premonitions

0:08:43.107,0:08:47.040
when something unfortunate [br]has or will happen to their child.

0:08:47.040,0:08:50.846
And long before caller IDs, many [br]people claim to be able to predict

0:08:50.846,0:08:55.062
which friend or family member was calling [br]them when they heard the phone ring.

0:08:55.060,0:08:59.180
There is also the belief that it's [br]because we are so reliant on technology

0:08:59.180,0:09:03.371
that these innate abilities of ours [br]became buried deep within us.

0:09:03.370,0:09:07.260
So maybe there was a time where our [br]world was like the World of Warcraft

0:09:07.260,0:09:10.571
where magic and supernatural [br]abilities were commonplace.

0:09:10.571,0:09:13.062
Let me know your thoughts [br]about the psychic abilities.

0:09:13.062,0:09:16.880
Do you believe they are real? Do you [br]believe they are fake? Do you have them?

0:09:16.880,0:09:18.434
Let me know in the comments below.

0:09:18.434,0:09:20.605
Thank you all so much [br]for watching! See you later.
