I'm a natural aura seer/reader. Actually, I don't exactly see the aura, but I can 'feel' it. I can tell if someone is lying, is happy, sad etc.
I'm really sensitive to that sort of thing myself. It is like I can, in some weird way, sense what is going on inside of people. I think it is sort of a sensitivity to the energies that people send out, with the added intuitive ability of being able to interpret them immediately.
Being able to tell whether someone is lying or not is more of a curse than a gift, I think. Personally I really hate it when I am being lied to, because it makes me lose respect for the person who is doing it, and it also makes me feel that this person doesn't respect me. Lying is something I have a really hard time forgiving people for, so I generally just choose to cut these people out of my life. They usually don't know why though, but how would I explain that I could tell that they were lying to me when I don't have any proof?
Other stuff... well, I don't really know. I have grown up in a home where new-age was kind of the household religion, so there are lots of things that I don't even think about that other people would find really weird. My mom is a reiki healer, and she is also a channel for two separate beings existing in a different realm. She has been writing down the messages she has been receiving from them for years, and about ten years ago she made a book out of them and had it published.
As for paranormal experiences, I have, on one occasion, seen our "house guest," who I suppose actually considers us guests. A grey shadow moving along a wall. It only lasted a few seconds, but when I told my mom about it, it turned out that she had seen this lots of times.
She told me that occasionally when she was on the phone with a particular friend of hers, who was also into new-age, she would talk about this ghost. And every time she did, this antique cupboard in the room would start vibrating so hard that she could hear it. Nobody has seen, or heard, from this ghost for ages though.
There are so many other stories I could tell, about everything from experiences during meditation to all the weird things that happened right after my grandfather died.
