The psychic culture to me seems like it would be a really interesting phenomenon to research. It is something that I really have no knowledge of and that I think would be beneficial to learn some things about the culture and also the people that the culture is comprised of. I enjoyed reading a little bit of Psychic accounts: self legitimation and the management of a spoiled identity, because it talked about the real experiences of real psychics. They discuss how they got into this occupation and discuss what it's like to be psychic. My interest in this subject partly comes from being able to research and discover whether or not this is real or not. Before having to do this assignment, I was skeptical about whether or not people could really predict things that would occur in the future. Now that I am researching the topic, I will be able to find the answer to my question.
