Intuition- "The ability to perceive or know things without conscious reasoning".
Intuition is the psychic ability known by many names. Some people call it a "hunch", and to some it is our "sixth sense". Many know it as a premonition, while others just have a good or a bad "feeling" about something.
Though intuition is one of the more common abilities, it is one of the hardest to document or study as it can be logically explained in a few different ways. One of the most successful (though accidental and tragic) studies on this ability was done by a paranormal minded psychiatrist named Ian Stevenson. He is said to have recorded 19 separate incidents of premonitions two weeks before the sailing of the Titanic. We are not sure if Stevenson's research had any bearing on this number, but the Titanic set sail with only 58% of her capacity. Also 14 years before the Titanic set sail, a short story was written titled "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson. In the story, a liner named Titan sank in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. There are many similarities between the Titan and the Titanic including the size of the ships, their three propellers, their water-tight compartments and the lack of sufficient lifeboats.

I always compare intuition with a wellspring of memories that somehow can be shared with humanity so that one person's perceptions and experiences can be shared with others as if they were their own. Somehow when using psychic abilities, it's as if the boundaries between people are no longer there and their feelings and perceptions are your own when you read them. It feels as if it all wells up from the same place. The commonplace, I guess you'd say.
