18	[[Main/PsychicPowers Psychic powers]] are not uncommon among supernatural beings, including [[Main/MindOverMatter telekinesis]] in [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons demons]], [[Main/{{Telepathy}} telepathy]] in [[Characters/SupernaturalAngels angels]], and [[Main/RealityWarper reality warping]] in [[Characters/SupernaturalGods gods]]. Some humans have also gained psychic abilities through [[Characters/SupernaturalWitches witchcraft]] or being [[Characters/SupernaturalSpecialChildren fed demon blood as an infant]]. Most humans posing as psychics, including many of the residents of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Dale,_New_York Lily Dale,]] are charlatans or are simply performing cold readings. However, rarely a human is born with psychic abilities which can be quite powerful.
