    “There’s something that most people unconsciously project in actions, direction of gaze, and other non-verbal cues that often tells me a lot about them before knowing them. Most of the time it’s not bad stuff, just things that people occasional do or feel.” That really isn’t a psychic power, it’s more about observation and figuring out when social cues don’t add up. I don’t believe in psychic powers, as they haven’t been proven yet! I do believe in observation, reading body language and interpreting that. You can get a lot of information from people from that alone. I just said ‘vibe’ because I don’t know how to quantify the idea sometimes.

      What I’m trying to suggest to you is that the “vibe” is from a minority of the people who are guilty of the crime.

        From the people I can observe more closely, it’s easier to read body language in person and make guesses based on those results. Naturally, my observations of people who I don’t really know are going to be off more often than not. As snapshots of human behavior aren’t always going to yield anything useful, people can play up all the behavior most would consider ‘proper’.
