5 Kids with Real Psychic Super Powers!

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Hey guys, it's Mikey Chen.
  • 0:01 - 0:07
    Whenever the word "psychic" is mentioned,
    most people would probably think of crystal balls
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    or random fortune tellers
    they pass by on the streets.
  • 0:10 - 0:15
    Although in my opinion, I think that
    most if not all these psychics are fake,
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    I do believe that psychic
    powers itself could really exist.
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    Even scientists are
    conducting research in this field.
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    For example, last year, in a
    study conducted by researchers
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    from Starlab and Harvard Medical School,
  • 0:27 - 0:32
    a person in India said 'ola' and 'ciao'
    to three other people in France.
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    The greetings were not
    spoken, typed or texted.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    The communication in question happened
    between the brains of a set of study subjects,
  • 0:40 - 0:46
    marking this one of the first instances
    of brain-to-brain communication on record.
  • 0:46 - 0:52
    Of course, in this case, telepathy is just one of
    many psychic abilities that people may possess.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    And in this video, we will
    explore a few more
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    and I'll introduce you
    to some real life individuals
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    who may actually possess
    real psychic powers.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Number 1: the
    5-year-old mind reader.
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    Five-year-old Ramses Sanguino is special.
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    Not only is he learning seven languages and
    solving complex maths problems at this young age,
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    he is able to say with unerring
    accuracy which random numbers
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    his mom Nyx is looking at
    and thinking about.
  • 1:22 - 1:27
    Ramses is believed to be one
    of the top five savants in the world
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    and is working with former Harvard
    Medical School faculty Dr. Diane Powell,
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    who is studying Ramses as part
    a research project into telepathy.
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    Dr. Powell said, "I am as
    confident that telepathy exists
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    as I am a lot of things that have
    actually been accepted by science."
  • 1:43 - 1:48
    She also said that, other scientists
    don't usually believe in telepathy.
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    but she has met
    with many who said
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    they have actually experienced it
    or witnessed it themselves.
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    and "don't come forward"
    because they are afraid that
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    they would be ridiculed or
    possibly even lose their jobs.
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    Ramses, who is described as having
    a high functioning form of autism,
  • 2:04 - 2:09
    has apparently demonstrating telepathy
    in home videos recorded by his mother.
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    In meetings with Dr. Powell, she
    used a random-number generator
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    to pick numbers for the mother
    to write and think about
  • 2:15 - 2:19
    and get Ramses to try and read
    his mother's mind to guess them.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    In one test, Ramses was
    able to correctly guess
  • 2:22 - 2:27
    16 out of 17 numbers -
    including one double digit number.
  • 2:27 - 2:32
    Next, Pyrokinesis is the ability to create
    and manipulate fire with one's mind
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    and probably the most famous
    pop culture adaptation
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    of this psychic ability is
    Stephen King's Carrie.
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    Well, this ability might actually be real
  • 2:41 - 2:42
    so, if you ever meet
  • 2:42 - 2:48
    or eventually down the road happened to take
    one of the next two girls on this list to the prom,
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    just remember to be nice to them!
  • 2:50 - 2:55
    And with that, let's talk about number 2
    on our list, the 11-year-old firestarter.
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    In the spring of 2012 in Vietnam,
  • 2:59 - 3:05
    news spread of an 11-year-old “fire girl”
    in Ho Chi Minh City’s Tân Bình District
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    whose supernatural abilities
    have scientists puzzled.
  • 3:08 - 3:12
    According to the girl’s father,
    fires appear whenever she goes.
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    The electricity in their
    home short-circuited,
  • 3:14 - 3:19
    and many electrical sockets in the house
    started to burn when the girl approached them.
  • 3:19 - 3:24
    Mattresses, fans, and other items in their home
    will mysteriously burst into flame as well.
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    Sometimes, even
    her clothing will catch fire.
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    She even burned the entire
    third floor of the family's house.
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    The same phenomenon happened when
    the family visited the homes of others.
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    A fire even started in their hotel room
    when they were vacationing,
  • 3:38 - 3:44
    Doctors at the local Cho Ray Hospital and No. 2
    Children’s Hospital have examined the girl.
  • 3:44 - 3:48
    Blood, skin, and urine, as
    well as objects from her home
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    but could find nothing
    physically unusual about the girl.
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    But they do agree that
    she is in fact different.
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    A group of researchers
    from various fields,
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    led by Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung,
  • 3:59 - 4:03
    Director of Ho Chi Minh City
    International University of Hong Bang,
  • 4:03 - 4:07
    rejected environment as the element
    causing the girl’s special ability
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    because fires happened
    everywhere she went.
  • 4:10 - 4:17
    And theorize that the girl’s biological energy
    is not stable and fluctuates from time to time.
  • 4:17 - 4:23
    Hung conducted brain scans and uncovered
    an unusual line on the right side of the girl's brain.
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    He also said there is a
    red mark on her forehead
  • 4:26 - 4:30
    that disappears when she
    puts on a black quartz bracelet
  • 4:30 - 4:32
    and reappears when
    the bracelet is removed.
  • 4:32 - 4:35
    However, whenever the girl
    wears the bracelet,
  • 4:35 - 4:40
    she not only feels uncomfortable, but also feels
    electric current running through her body.
  • 4:40 - 4:45
    Hung also said, the girl is able to
    burn objects both near and far from her
  • 4:45 - 4:49
    with no apparent distance limit,
    so kind of like a fire sniper.
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    Researchers at the Viet Nam Physics
    Institute are also studying the case.
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    The girl is escorted to
    school and other places.
  • 4:55 - 5:00
    Her home and school have been
    equipped with fire extinguishers, just in case.
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    Number 3: the three-year-old
    who can manipulate fire.
  • 5:03 - 5:09
    In March of 2011, news of a 3-year-old
    child who can produce fire with her mind
  • 5:09 - 5:12
    drew hundreds of
    curious people and media
  • 5:12 - 5:15
    to her home in Antique Province
    in central Philippines.
  • 5:15 - 5:19
    Those who were there swore they saw clothes,
    sleeping mats, pillows and paper ignites
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    immediately after the girl said they would.
  • 5:22 - 5:26
    Mayor Molina of San Jose was one of
    hundreds who witnessed this phenomenon.
  • 5:26 - 5:33
    He says he saw a pillow burst into flames
    immediately after the child said “fire... pillow."
  • 5:33 - 5:38
    He also said that once he was in the girl's home,
    when she blurted out "something about to burn",
  • 5:38 - 5:41
    a shirt on the clothesline outside
    inexplicably burst into flames.
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    Molina said: "Nobody touched
    it or was even close to it.
  • 5:45 - 5:48
    It just started in seconds.
    The shirt was on fire.”
  • 5:48 - 5:53
    Mayor Molina was also quoted in an interview with
    The Daily Guardian, a local community newspaper
  • 5:53 - 5:55
    as saying “I can’t explain it!
  • 5:55 - 5:59
    I’m a town mayor, and I don’t easily
    believe in this kind of thing,
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    but I saw it. I am at a loss.”
  • 6:01 - 6:03
    Number 4: the telepathic girl.
  • 6:03 - 6:08
    Being autistic, Nandana Unnikrishnan
    is not like most other girls her age.
  • 6:08 - 6:12
    And, what really sets her apart
    is her alleged telepathic ability.
  • 6:12 - 6:15
    Nandana’s parents first
    became aware of her abilities
  • 6:15 - 6:18
    when they began to notice
    “unusual coincidences”
  • 6:18 - 6:23
    when it came to her almost premeditated
    responses to her mother’s thoughts and feelings.
  • 6:23 - 6:27
    Such as, the name of the food her mother
    was thinking of preparing for her
  • 6:27 - 6:30
    and she would know about
    and starts reacting to places
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    her parents decided to take
    her but has not told her yet.
  • 6:33 - 6:37
    According to initial testing, it appears
    that Nandana has the ability
  • 6:37 - 6:41
    to read her mother's thoughts and
    emotions with no physical contact.
  • 6:41 - 6:45
    And in one test, Nandana and her mother
    were placed in separate rooms
  • 6:45 - 6:50
    and Nandana's mother was given
    a 6 digit number to glance at.
  • 6:50 - 6:52
    When Nandana was able to
    type the number with ease,
  • 6:52 - 6:58
    the researchers decided to up the ante, and
    gave her mother a Grade 2 level poem to read.
  • 6:58 - 7:04
    When prompted, the young girl was able to
    type the entire poem without any issues.
  • 7:04 - 7:07
    The results have stunned
    skeptical researchers
  • 7:07 - 7:11
    like Dr. Phillip John of the
    Indian Psychiatric Society,
  • 7:11 - 7:15
    who told the Khaleej Times that he
    believes Nandana’s case is genuine.
  • 7:15 - 7:19
    The case has even attracted the
    attention of Dr. Darold A. Treffert,
  • 7:19 - 7:22
    whose work in the
    field of gifted children
  • 7:22 - 7:26
    has earned him the reputation
    of “godfather of savant research”.
  • 7:26 - 7:30
    And yes! I believe he is currently
    trying to assemble a team of X-Men!
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    Anyway, doctor Treffert told
    the Khaleej Times that
  • 7:32 - 7:37
    "Nandana’s case is extraordinarily
    rare in an already rare condition,
  • 7:37 - 7:39
    but with far-reaching ramifications."
  • 7:39 - 7:42
    And finally, number 5:
    the 8-year-old healer.
  • 7:42 - 7:44
    Faith healing is another psychic ability
  • 7:44 - 7:48
    and in the slums of Brazil,
    8-year-old Alani Santos
  • 7:48 - 7:53
    claims to be able to channel divine
    powers in order to perform faith healing.
  • 7:53 - 7:56
    Healing everything from cancer to HIV.
  • 7:56 - 7:59
    In her YouTube videos, Alani
    can be seen in her father's church
  • 7:59 - 8:03
    helping an elderly woman
    to walk without using a stick,
  • 8:03 - 8:07
    and 'healing' a man who has been
    suffering from HIV for seven years.
  • 8:07 - 8:11
    Twice a week, people from across
    Brazil file into the church
  • 8:11 - 8:14
    for a chance to be touched
    by the girl's healing hands.
  • 8:14 - 8:20
    Alani has been doing this since 2012, and
    says she enjoys helping people get better
  • 8:20 - 8:23
    and plans on being a doctor
    to continue helping the sick.
  • 8:23 - 8:26
    Describing her 'powers', Alani says:
  • 8:26 - 8:32
    "A lot of the time I just touch people, sometimes
    I pray and worship and the person is cured."
  • 8:32 - 8:34
    You know, there are many
    Eastern belief systems
  • 8:34 - 8:39
    that say we all have the so-called psychic
    abilities as they were part of our innate abilities.
  • 8:39 - 8:43
    For example, mother sometimes
    experience ugly premonitions
  • 8:43 - 8:47
    when something unfortunate
    has or will happen to their child.
  • 8:47 - 8:51
    And long before caller IDs, many
    people claim to be able to predict
  • 8:51 - 8:55
    which friend or family member was calling
    them when they heard the phone ring.
  • 8:55 - 8:59
    There is also the belief that it's
    because we are so reliant on technology
  • 8:59 - 9:03
    that these innate abilities of ours
    became buried deep within us.
  • 9:03 - 9:07
    So maybe there was a time where our
    world was like the World of Warcraft
  • 9:07 - 9:11
    where magic and supernatural
    abilities were commonplace.
  • 9:11 - 9:13
    Let me know your thoughts
    about the psychic abilities.
  • 9:13 - 9:17
    Do you believe they are real? Do you
    believe they are fake? Do you have them?
  • 9:17 - 9:18
    Let me know in the comments below.
  • 9:18 - 9:21
    Thank you all so much
    for watching! See you later.
