Hey guys, it's Mikey Chen.

Whenever the word "psychic" is mentioned, 
most people would probably think of crystal balls

or random fortune tellers 
they pass by on the streets.

Although in my opinion, I think that 
most if not all these psychics are fake,

I do believe that psychic 
powers itself could really exist.

Even scientists are 
conducting research in this field.

For example, last year, in a 
study conducted by researchers

from Starlab and Harvard Medical School,

a person in India said 'ola' and 'ciao' 
to three other people in France.

The greetings were not 
spoken, typed or texted.

The communication in question happened 
between the brains of a set of study subjects,

marking this one of the first instances 
of brain-to-brain communication on record.

Of course, in this case, telepathy is just one of 
many psychic abilities that people may possess.

And in this video, we will 
explore a few more

and I'll introduce you 
to some real life individuals

who may actually possess 
real psychic powers.

Number 1: the 
5-year-old mind reader.

Five-year-old Ramses Sanguino is special.

Not only is he learning seven languages and 
solving complex maths problems at this young age,

he is able to say with unerring 
accuracy which random numbers

his mom Nyx is looking at 
and thinking about.

Ramses is believed to be one 
of the top five savants in the world

and is working with former Harvard 
Medical School faculty Dr. Diane Powell,

who is studying Ramses as part 
a research project into telepathy.

Dr. Powell said, "I am as 
confident that telepathy exists

as I am a lot of things that have 
actually been accepted by science."

She also said that, other scientists 
don't usually believe in telepathy.

but she has met 
with many who said

they have actually experienced it 
or witnessed it themselves.

and "don't come forward" 
because they are afraid that

they would be ridiculed or 
possibly even lose their jobs.

Ramses, who is described as having 
a high functioning form of autism,

has apparently demonstrating telepathy 
in home videos recorded by his mother.

In meetings with Dr. Powell, she 
used a random-number generator

to pick numbers for the mother 
to write and think about

and get Ramses to try and read 
his mother's mind to guess them.

In one test, Ramses was 
able to correctly guess

16 out of 17 numbers - 
including one double digit number.

Next, Pyrokinesis is the ability to create 
and manipulate fire with one's mind

and probably the most famous 
pop culture adaptation

of this psychic ability is 
Stephen King's Carrie.

Well, this ability might actually be real

so, if you ever meet

or eventually down the road happened to take 
one of the next two girls on this list to the prom,

just remember to be nice to them!

And with that, let's talk about number 2 
on our list, the 11-year-old firestarter.

In the spring of 2012 in Vietnam,

news spread of an 11-year-old “fire girl” 
in Ho Chi Minh City’s Tân Bình District

whose supernatural abilities 
have scientists puzzled.

According to the girl’s father, 
fires appear whenever she goes.

The electricity in their 
home short-circuited,

and many electrical sockets in the house 
started to burn when the girl approached them.

Mattresses, fans, and other items in their home 
will mysteriously burst into flame as well.

Sometimes, even 
her clothing will catch fire.

She even burned the entire 
third floor of the family's house.

The same phenomenon happened when 
the family visited the homes of others.

A fire even started in their hotel room 
when they were vacationing,

Doctors at the local Cho Ray Hospital and No. 2 
Children’s Hospital have examined the girl.

Blood, skin, and urine, as 
well as objects from her home

but could find nothing 
physically unusual about the girl.

But they do agree that 
she is in fact different.

A group of researchers 
from various fields,

led by Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung,

Director of Ho Chi Minh City 
International University of Hong Bang,

rejected environment as the element 
causing the girl’s special ability

because fires happened 
everywhere she went.

And theorize that the girl’s biological energy 
is not stable and fluctuates from time to time.

Hung conducted brain scans and uncovered 
an unusual line on the right side of the girl's brain.

He also said there is a 
red mark on her forehead

that disappears when she 
puts on a black quartz bracelet

and reappears when 
the bracelet is removed.

However, whenever the girl 
wears the bracelet,

she not only feels uncomfortable, but also feels 
electric current running through her body.

Hung also said, the girl is able to 
burn objects both near and far from her

with no apparent distance limit, 
so kind of like a fire sniper.

Researchers at the Viet Nam Physics 
Institute are also studying the case.

The girl is escorted to 
school and other places.

Her home and school have been 
equipped with fire extinguishers, just in case.

Number 3: the three-year-old 
who can manipulate fire.

In March of 2011, news of a 3-year-old 
child who can produce fire with her mind

drew hundreds of 
curious people and media

to her home in Antique Province 
in central Philippines.

Those who were there swore they saw clothes, 
sleeping mats, pillows and paper ignites

immediately after the girl said they would.

Mayor Molina of San Jose was one of 
hundreds who witnessed this phenomenon.

He says he saw a pillow burst into flames 
immediately after the child said “fire... pillow."

He also said that once he was in the girl's home, 
when she blurted out "something about to burn",

a shirt on the clothesline outside 
inexplicably burst into flames.

Molina said: "Nobody touched 
it or was even close to it.

It just started in seconds. 
The shirt was on fire.”

Mayor Molina was also quoted in an interview with 
The Daily Guardian, a local community newspaper

as saying “I can’t explain it!

I’m a town mayor, and I don’t easily 
believe in this kind of thing,

but I saw it. I am at a loss.”

Number 4: the telepathic girl.

Being autistic, Nandana Unnikrishnan 
is not like most other girls her age.

And, what really sets her apart 
is her alleged telepathic ability.

Nandana’s parents first 
became aware of her abilities

when they began to notice 
“unusual coincidences”

when it came to her almost premeditated 
responses to her mother’s thoughts and feelings.

Such as, the name of the food her mother 
was thinking of preparing for her

and she would know about 
and starts reacting to places

her parents decided to take 
her but has not told her yet.

According to initial testing, it appears 
that Nandana has the ability

to read her mother's thoughts and 
emotions with no physical contact.

And in one test, Nandana and her mother 
were placed in separate rooms

and Nandana's mother was given 
a 6 digit number to glance at.

When Nandana was able to 
type the number with ease,

the researchers decided to up the ante, and 
gave her mother a Grade 2 level poem to read.

When prompted, the young girl was able to 
type the entire poem without any issues.

The results have stunned 
skeptical researchers

like Dr. Phillip John of the 
Indian Psychiatric Society,

who told the Khaleej Times that he 
believes Nandana’s case is genuine.

The case has even attracted the 
attention of Dr. Darold A. Treffert,

whose work in the 
field of gifted children

has earned him the reputation 
of “godfather of savant research”.

And yes! I believe he is currently 
trying to assemble a team of X-Men!

Anyway, doctor Treffert told 
the Khaleej Times that

"Nandana’s case is extraordinarily 
rare in an already rare condition,

but with far-reaching ramifications."

And finally, number 5: 
the 8-year-old healer.

Faith healing is another psychic ability

and in the slums of Brazil, 
8-year-old Alani Santos

claims to be able to channel divine 
powers in order to perform faith healing.

Healing everything from cancer to HIV.

In her YouTube videos, Alani 
can be seen in her father's church

helping an elderly woman 
to walk without using a stick,

and 'healing' a man who has been 
suffering from HIV for seven years.

Twice a week, people from across 
Brazil file into the church

for a chance to be touched 
by the girl's healing hands.

Alani has been doing this since 2012, and 
says she enjoys helping people get better

and plans on being a doctor 
to continue helping the sick.

Describing her 'powers', Alani says:

"A lot of the time I just touch people, sometimes 
I pray and worship and the person is cured."

You know, there are many 
Eastern belief systems

that say we all have the so-called psychic 
abilities as they were part of our innate abilities.

For example, mother sometimes 
experience ugly premonitions

when something unfortunate 
has or will happen to their child.

And long before caller IDs, many 
people claim to be able to predict

which friend or family member was calling 
them when they heard the phone ring.

There is also the belief that it's 
because we are so reliant on technology

that these innate abilities of ours 
became buried deep within us.

So maybe there was a time where our 
world was like the World of Warcraft

where magic and supernatural 
abilities were commonplace.

Let me know your thoughts 
about the psychic abilities.

Do you believe they are real? Do you 
believe they are fake? Do you have them?

Thank you all so much 
for watching! See you later.
