I think I might have a superpower; I can sense bears with my sixth or seventh sense. While I was camping for work last week there were several times that I had thoughts like I am going to see a bear tonight, or There is a bear outside my tent. I only get these random thoughts when I am isolated; if I'm in a group of people I am oblivious as anybody when it comes to the presence of my bear friends. But when I am alone, my extra senses kick into high gear. When I had thoughts like those I mentioned above, I was right.
So the first example of this. . . I was alone at our camp and I knew I was going to see a bear. Sure enough, at one point I turned around from what I was doing and there was a black shadow several hundred yards away among the trees. I knew it was a bear before it even moved. It turned out to be a pretty big black bear and he wandered closer to camp, pretty much ignoring me. He didn't actually come into our camp, which would have made things very hairy--me being by myself and all--but he did come pretty close.
The next day I was in my tent reading when I sensed a bear outside my tent. Three different times I looked out my little plastic window and couldn't see anything. Finally, I poked my head out of my rain fly, and there was a little black bear chewing on the berries not fifty feet in front of me. I watched him munching for a little bit, and he ignored me, which I consider to be a good thing.
Anyway, when I get feelings like this, I am always correct. I think it works with any living creature, but bears are fairly easy for me to sense.
One time, when I was young and afraid of bears (because I had read Alaskan Bear Tales), my family was living in a little cabin. I woke in the middle of the night, terrified, because I KNEW there was a bear outside. Nobody believed me, though my mom did get up and look out the windows, but she didn't see anything. The next day, there were fresh bear tracks everywhere.
That's just one of my superpowers though. I have many, many others.
