I, myself, am not a mind reader, however; I did come across a man about 15 years ago who played a mind reading game on me.
The Game:
He asked me a set of 5 questions. Each of which I was to think of the answer in my head. He would then write down the answer, and then show me his answer before going on to the next question.
Some of the questions I remember were:
1. Think of any number.
2. Pick any color.
3. If you could have any kind of automobile, truck, sportscar, etc., what make and model would you pick?
I played the game twice with him, the second time around I tried to make it harder on him by not repeating the answer over and over again in my head. Instead I thought the answer once only, then focused on thinking about a different subject altogether. Amazingly, he got all of them right. 100% accuracy on 10 questions in a row. I was quit frankly astonished and thought he was not of this world. At the time I had never even heard of such a thing...someone who can read someone's mind?!*. I remember I wanted to get up in front of the whole class and shout to everyone that "this man just read my mind!", but figured he would probably deny it, and just out of respect for what he showed me, I did not choose to do so. He was someone that sat next to me in one of my college classes, but we rarely said much more than hi and goodbye, if that. He had always kept to himself until the second to the last night of class. That's when he turned to me in class and asked if I wanted to play a game. It was the one chance to let me in on his secret I guess, because the next and last day of class was just simply coming in to pick up our score. It was simply amazing, yet somewhat frightening. I did not like the fact that all semester long he had been listening to my thoughts (like lusting after the teaching and picturing the teacher naked and such. Some thoughts simply need to be classified). He never told me that he did, but I'm sure he must have. He gave me his phone number and wanted to be friends after class ended, but I wasn't too keen on having a friend that could read my mind. I told a lot of people about my experience at first, but people found it hard to believe. Eventually, I stopped talking about it.
People like this really do exist. I am totally sane and am almost 40 now. I am not full of it, and would not waste my time making up such a story.
Something else: On the first day of each new class I took in college, I would get there early to get a good seat. As students slowly walked into the room, I would mentally ask certain people to sit next to me. I'm guessing a lot of people probably do this just for fun and for other reasons like wanting someone next to you that speaks good English. Year after year, class after class, no one ever heard my requests, until the class when I met the man I discussed above. I remember mentally asking him to sit next to me.... and he did. The classroom was still half empty at the time, and I thought it was odd that he sat next to me just like I had asked. I should have known right then, that something was up with him. And another thing.....Right before he asked me to play the game, I had just got done mentally laughing at him and mentally talking (one way only) to him about a remark the teacher made about him stating "people who have frequently been late to class will be getting a lower grade". I remember thinking the teacher may as well have asked him to come and stand in front of the whole class. He was the only one who was ever late, and he would always show up 5 minutes late to class. Of course I didn’t think he could actually hear me, but I guess he did, because that is when he asked me to play his game. I think he asked me to play a game to make a point that he could hear the things that I think about. That is what I think. It was a little spooky.
