There was once a time where I wondered if psychics were a real thing, I'll admit, based on a girl I knew in high school and her mother. Her mother always had these vivid predictions of the future and often spoke of spiritual beings surrounding us and guiding us. She would speak persuasive and alluring, despite acting very anxious all the time. Her daughter started doing it too. Then the mother got arrested on possession charges, and it came out that she was addicted to acid and had been giving it to her daughter. The daughter was sent away to live with her father out of state, and the mother did several years in prison for child endangerment and tacked on drug charges. I've occasionally wondered what became of that girl.
