My friend went saw a guy who did something called Psychometry or something. Anyhoo, the whole thing was that he could sense impressions made on inanimate objects by our aura (if you want to get scientific, I guess you could say the brainwaves somehow storing some weird radiation on the object, but whatever...aura sounds cooler).
My friend is skeptical, so he put down his watch on the table (the guy left so that he couldn't see who put what where, and even then everybody removed it so that you couldn't tell what they were doing). The guy came back, then would place his hand over an object and say a LOT of stuff. He took one watch and was like, "This belongs to a woman named Susie...she travels a lot...I see Morrocco and India, all over the place, more than most people...and she has a daughter...Emily."
The woman turned out to be a flight attendant, and he got everything else right.
Then he told another guy how many colds he had last year, that his left foot had been bothering him, and that he sensed they were from San Francisco...The guy said everything was right except San Francisco, but he could see how he got that since he was moving there next month, and had been spending time there.
When he got to my friend's watch, he said the owner of this watch is Filipino...he had a relationship 8 years ago that was very very intense...her name was (I can't remember, but he got it right) and her father looked like (described him perfectly, physically then the way he acted) and then he mentioned stuff that my friend actually was embarassed about, but had never told anyone EVER. He never told his current girlfriend, his family, any of his friends. He said this was information only he and his ex-girlfriend would know about. THen he also said that my friend was in the medical field, but not conventional..that he was an herbalist (my friend does Chineese medicine, and though isn't becoming an herbalist, has been studying only that for this semester; he's going into acupuncture, though).
My friend said he almost cried because everything (except the herbalist thing, kinda) was absolutely correct, and that no one could have possibly known any of that. The guy got it from his WATCH. Any friend wasn't even wearing it at the time...he had it in his pocket because he doesn't like wearing on his wrist, so the guy at the very least did not see him wearing it before the demo.
I dunno, cool stuff to me. I'd like to learn it and pick up chicks (she likes jokes about kittens...okay...she likes Felicity...cool)
