No. The correct answer would be that everyone predicts things.

do they really? lol - that is rather a sweeping statement Martin.

You may be talking about predicitng something that you couldn't possibly have known. But when open-minded, critical people look at the great and famous predictors like say Nostradamus or Mother Shipton they find many predictions that haven't come to pass and others that are written in such non-specific terms that provide a sort of catch-all for events.

yes I have predicted about things which I couldn't possibly have known about and they happened. Usually I see visions or 'flashes' of events and happenings. I don't know when or where I am going to experience the visions - but now I try to make notes of them or I mention them to my hubby. I am interested in the reason why people get these visions - their purpose. For me so far they just show that there is much more going on within us and around us.

I find Nostradamus's predictions interesting (I have read a book about them many yrs ago).

You report things selectively - you've demonstrated that here, so, at least in that sense, you fit the category of someone whose claims should be treated with suspicion. 

all I have told you is some basic stuff about my experiences Martin. Again you do not really know enough about me to make that assumption - but again you are giving it a go aren't you ... putting me into a little box of your 'categories' - lol

I'm not trying to be nasty towards you.  I'm telling you the good reasons why an open-minded person should not put their trust in your claims.

lol - of course you are not Martin. Not a nasty bone in your body is there?

 An open minded person does not need to put trust in my claims - they can take it at face value (believe or don't believe me - it doesn't affect me personally either way). My experiences are my own - just shared here to show that I actually have the experiences rather than someone who just visits skeptic sites to read what resinates with their own minds. An open minded person would be keen to investigate for himself/herself - with an open mind. They wouldn't be afraid to go to a Spiritualist church and see for themselves what goes on.

Far more to the point, how do you know your observations are not to do with the chemistry of your brain?

we don't really know enough about the brain as yet, but when more than one person sees a ghost at the same time, chances are it is not to do with the 'chemistry' in one  individuals brain. Checkout that Windbridge site if you want to see what is actually being investigated to do with human potential etc.

 

Put concisely, it's absurd to propose that an event is cause by an invisible, undetectable, unmeasurable form of energy, for which, numerous attempts to prove its existence have proved fruitless, when there is a perfectly good sientifically demonstrable and detectable explanation for similar events elsewhere.

but when an event still happens and thousands like it are happening all over the world and through time in various places and to various people - obviously the events exist, they are being witnessed and experienced. As for being undetectable - well no we can detect some energy by crude mechanical instruments - such as analog and digital video cameras with infrared night-vision capabilities and hand-held camcorders, 35-mm film still cameras and digital cameras. Also analog and digital audio recorders and amplified or parabolic surveillance microphones. Atmospheric environment monitors, motion detectors, Geiger counters, seismographs and a thermal-imaging cameras and EMF detectors. These devices can detect fluctuations in magnetic, electric and radio/microwave energy levels.

And we know don't we that the EM spectrum is energy vibrating at different frequencies - is there a beginning and an end to this EM spectrum or is it infinite at either end?.

The best instrument to use though happens to be a human one. A medium (as the scientists do at the Windbridge institute and as they do in the many Spiritualist churches and halls all over the world).
