In a quiet suburb of Portland, Oregon, lives a woman who claims to possess a rare and extraordinary ability: telekinesis. For years, 35-year-old Emily Carter has believed she can move objects with her mind, a talent that she discovered in her early teens. Though skeptics abound, Carter remains convinced of her unique power, which she says has been both a blessing and a burden.
“It started when I was around 13,” Carter recalls, sitting in her cozy living room, surrounded by plants and crystals. “I was upset about something, and I noticed that a pen on the table in front of me started to roll. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but then it happened again. And again. After that, I began to experiment, trying to focus my thoughts on moving small objects. Over time, I got better at it.”
Carter, a self-described introvert, kept her abilities a secret for years, sharing her experiences only with close friends and family. “I was afraid people would think I was crazy,” she admits. “Telekinesis isn’t something you just bring up in conversation. But the more I practiced, the more I realized that this was real.”
Over the years, Carter has conducted small experiments in the privacy of her home, moving items like pencils, keys, and small trinkets across tables and counters. She even claims to have once lifted a coffee mug in her kitchen, though she acknowledges that controlling the ability can be difficult. “It takes a lot of concentration and emotional energy,” she explains. “Some days, it’s easier than others. And sometimes, I can’t do it at all.”
When asked how she believes telekinesis works, Carter offers a thoughtful explanation. “I think it has to do with energy,” she says. “Everything in the universe is made up of energy, and I believe that with enough focus, we can manipulate that energy to move objects. It’s not magic; it’s just a different understanding of how the world works.”
Despite her confidence in her abilities, Carter is aware of the skepticism surrounding telekinesis. “I know it’s hard for people to believe,” she says. “There’s no concrete proof, and it’s not something you can easily demonstrate under pressure. But I know what I’ve experienced, and I’m not the only one. There are others out there who’ve had similar experiences.”
Carter hopes to one day connect with others who believe they have telekinetic powers and perhaps even collaborate with scientists interested in studying the phenomenon. “I’m not trying to convince anyone,” she concludes. “But I’d love to learn more about what’s happening to me and to explore the possibilities of what our minds can do.”
For now, Carter continues to practice her abilities in the quiet of her home, content in the knowledge that, for her, the impossible just might be real.
