How do you explain or categorize psychic experiences?

Update:

English Guy, a very compelling account indeed. I think throughout history there have been a variety of different accounts when some encountered a forewarning of fortuitous instance that had a bearing on saving their lives. How strange and mysterious this world can be....

    The closest thing to an explanation that seems reasonable to me is Dr. Edgar Mitchell's quantum hologram theory. Mitchell was an Apollo Astronaut and had a PHD in physics from MIT. He was actually quite a guy.

    Even if you, are an Atheist, this does not exclude that I cannot answer your question?

    The real Psychic persons, are subject to have intercessions with the spirits of the Demons.

    So, whatever they will say about people, that fact will happen relatively, because the spirits reveal it to the Psychics, and they will tell it to the people who have been consulted.

    The spirits of the Demons have the ability to know, as said, the future of the people, because they live out of time. Therefore, the things they will have said can happen immediately, and sometimes years later.

    I put them in the category FICTION.

    What if we are supposed to run a certain path but somehow a glitch comes about. That glitch would have to be repaired if that were the case. I read of a case about a plane that took off I think, from France. One passenger heard a voice from behind him in mid flight say "please fasten your belt sir, everything will be ok. It sounded like a very authoritative voice and he found himself fastening his belt. seconds later there was an explosion and the plane and wreckage fell from the sky. A piece of fuselage held together in a strange way compared to the rest of the plane. In that piece were (I think) eleven passengers. They were all unconscious and all were wearing safety belts. They were all taken to hospital and after they recovered, they were all interviewed by police. It was all very suspicious that these eleven people were the only survivor's and all had seatbelts on at a time when they were not needed. They were people from all different countries but they all said they heard a very authoritative voice from behind them, telling them to put their belts on and everything would be ok. They all said that the voice spoke in their own language. Maybe, those eleven were on that plane by mistake so the powers that be corrected it. Psychic experiences may be the powers that be, gently pushing us now and again in the right direction.

    I explain and categorize them in the same two ways. An abundance of wishful thinking and an absence of Critical Thinking. Maybe someday researchers like Jessica Utts and Dean Radin will change my mind. Admittedly, I don't hold out much hope, with as long as they've been at it.

    I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.
