21: Fortune Revealed Over The Net
In popular culture the word psychic (from the Greek psychikos - "of the soul, mental") refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the senses through means of extra-sensory perception; psychics also refer to the group of people gifted enough to have these special abilities, also known as a "fortune teller" (because predicting the future is among the most popular skills that psychics have). Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the purported ability to acquire information by paranormal means independent of any known physical senses or deduction from previous experience. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct, a hunch, a weird vibe or an intuition. The word psychic is derived from the Greek word psychikos (of the soul/mental) and refers in part to the human mind or psyche (e.g., "psychic turmoil").
