supernatural is kinda a misnomer. It just means something that is beyond the reasoning of science I think - which may just mean our science is not yet adequate. Example: ghosts

It's a very interesting placebo effect, but not in any psychological study. The New Scientist comes across it occasionally with experiments and urban myths.
Allow me to add my counterpoint your erroneous belief.
You have simply ignored every single time you have not seen/heard/percieved something occuring because the brain is hardwired to notic change, not continuation. Ergo, when your friend calls and you're all "I WAS JUST THINKING OF YOU OMG" you've simply ignored the hundreds, if not thousands of times it hasn't happened. A one in a thousand chance? Perfectly logical and applicable.
What's more, subconciousness plays a massive part in a great deal of decisions and expectations; particularly on things we don't actively pick up on such as human pheromones and the like. They're working just as they would with any other animal.
While I could rattle off a great number of reasoned, unbiased arguments, I will admit about 80% of higher brain function we do not understand or grasp. It may be junk or just background - it could be something related to a long-forgotten biological system.
In whatever case, I think "psychics" are a bunch of bullshit. Ghosts do not exist and foreboding is grounded in science somewhere; even if it's merely preconception.
I also believe that I'm on this planet for 70 years tops and being a spiritualistic dickshit is not going to get me anywhere. We are humans. Sacks of minerals, blood, water and tissue. The brain is potent, yes, but worrying about it or getting all mysterious about it is worth fuck all. You're an animal. You're intelligent. Get on with it and stop being a pariah.
Am I a sceptic? Yes, at heart.
Do I require things "concrete"? Yes, because otherwise you're chasing fiction.
Are you wasting energy over thinking you're superior or some strange creature? Yes. Everyone wants to be different.
I thoroughly advise watching some Carl Sagan and Discovery Channel on the Universe as a whole. If you're interested on how utterly insignificant you really are, PM me and I can get my favourite videos sent over.
I'm just a bloke. Not a philosopher or a psychic, or a hippy or whatever. And so is everyone else.
Bar Mao. She's a girl.
