According to some scholars, every newborn child possesses at least seven innate abilities, including precognition and extrasensory perception. However, both of these special abilities tend to fade away by the time the child reaches 7 or 8 years old.
Both precognition and extrasensory perception are inherent in every individual.

Why do these abilities to predict and perceive the future disappear? Science has yet to find an answer. For a long time, many scientists worldwide have been delving into this mysterious phenomenon of precognition.
In the 1970s, a research agency was established in Moscow, operating under the auspices of the Institute of Brain Research of the former Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences. Their research findings indicated that certain individuals are gifted with the ability to foresee the future and predict events they might know nothing about!
Take the case of Olga Dubrova, a 35-year-old resident of Penza. Olga possesses the ability to foresee how someone will die or can read the thoughts of others as we read a book!
To uncover the truth about this mystical ability, Russian scientists employed a testing technique developed by American psychologist George Rhine. This test involved 25 cards with identical backs, each featuring a unique symbol on the front: a cross, a star, a circle, etc. The test subjects were required to guess the image on a randomly drawn card. In this test, an average person might correctly guess 1 out of 5 cards, but those with special abilities could guess all 5 cards!
The experiment unfolded in several stages. First, a doctor would hold the hand of the subject while knowing what image was on the card in his other hand. Olga would close her eyes and sit still for about 3 to 5 minutes, then open her eyes and reveal the image on the card the doctor was holding. The results showed that Olga could clearly “see” the image against the black background of the card!
The second stage required 2 doctors, 1 card, and 1 subject. The doctor holding the card would grasp the hand of the second doctor. Many people could participate in this experiment through a chain of hand-holding, but the doctor holding the card had to always be the last in the chain. The results were similarly impressive.
A series of experiments with children aged 3 to 5 also yielded astonishing results. Interestingly, the precognitive ability of children was significantly higher than that of adults. For instance, there was the case of Irina Petrakova from Saratov. Irina’s child, peacefully sleeping in a stroller near the shop entrance, suddenly began to cry out incessantly, preventing her from moving. Normally, the child exhibited no such unusual behavior. The situation compelled Irina to pick up her child. Just as the baby nestled against her chest, a car suddenly crashed into the stroller, sending it flying!
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman explained these unbelievable cases through intuition. Feynman did not deny the existence of some mysterious senses that science has yet to fully understand. Therefore, the possibility of extrasensory perception cannot be dismissed, even though we currently lack solid evidence to prove the existence of mysterious senses, whether a sixth or twelfth sense!
