Psychically Gifted
| Humans with psychic abilities are often sneered at and dismissed by other preternatural groups, thus they often keep to themselves. Very little more is known about this group in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter world. The ones that we see are powerful in their own right - but they are few and far between, and many are mentally fragile. The word psychic relates to the mind or soul, rather than the physical and physiological. It`s commonly used when referring to the paranormal, occult or supernatural abilities. Those who have extraordinary powers, use the word to describe their abilities. There is no scientific evidence that psychic powers exist, as claiming the possession of such gifts is subjective, and the onus of proof is on the individual. Different individuals explain how they have acquired their powers in different ways. Some are born with them, some attribute them to a traumatic experience, and others develop them through training. Some believe that everyone is capable of developing their psychic powers. |
| The most common psychic powers are: Telepathy - Telepathy is the ability to read thoughts. It`s most common between close friends or family. Empathy - Similar to telepathy but revolves around emotions instead of thoughts. Empathic ability can manifest in sending, receiving or both. Psychometry - The ability to pick up images, histories, and impressions from objects and places. By holding the object you sees or sense information about the owner or most frequent user. |

| Clairvoyance (clear seeing) - The ability to see things that are not seen with the physical eyes. Can see visions of things occurring in the present. Clairaudience (clear hearing) - The person with this gift hears conversations or information being transmitted vocally on this plane and on the etheric. Clairsentience (clear sensing) - The person knows and feels things about places and can sense what has happened there. Precognition - The ability to sense, see, or hear things that may happen in the future. Sometimes this manifests in dreams, visions, flashes or simply by just knowing. Retrocogniton - The ability to see, sense, or hear things that happened in the past. |

| Telekinesis - Often called remote influencing. The ability to move object with the mind. Poltergeist activity is often claimed to be unintentional telekinesis by children going through puberty. Pyrokinesis - The ability to create and or control fire. Channeling - The ability to see, hear, and communicate with non-corporeal beings. |

Doesnt Zerbrowski just get a gut feeling, i guess technically its unkown, but i think it would be kind of like real mild form of psychometry?
