My mother also has certain abilities. She would often tell me that she "knew" something which she had no way of logically knowing. When my grandmother died in Florida (we were in NYC) my mother started shaking. A few minutes later, the phone rang and Mom's first words were "I know."

Among my craft fairs, I also sell at Goddess festivals, which draw on a crowd many of whom are psychic. My abilities are relatively low next to these women, but it's almost a non-issue -- within this community, it's just assumed that a goodly number have some kind of ability.

Six times in my life, upon meeting someone who seemed nice on the surface, the hairs on my arms stood straight up. I instantly knew I was in danger, and high-tailed out as soon as possible.
