Have you ever had deja vu? (Most people claim they have.)

I'm had it. But the feeling of deja vu is caused when your brain takes a new experience and treats it like old data. You haven't actually experienced it before, you just feel like you did.

Have you ever had a situation where the thought of a certain person popped into your brain - then the phone rings, and it's them?

Same as deja vu... your mind tricks itself into thinking you were thinking about that person right before they called... in actuality you were thinking about a cheese sandwich.
BTW: this has happened to me. It was mothers day a few years back. We were just about to leave for church when the phone rang. I instantly had a terrible feeling about the call. My mom answered it. Turns out one of my sisters close friend's father die early that morning of an asthma attack. How do I explain that sinking feeling when the phone rang? Well, who calls you on Mother's day at 8am? I didn't actually think "now that's an odd time for the phone to ring..." I simply
felt uneasy about the phone call. Call it intuition: the act of coming to a conclusion without consciously thinking about it.

Have you ever felt 'lucky' about something, and came to find out you were right to trust your feeling? Vice-versa, unlucky, with an unfortunate outcome because you overrode your feeling with logic - Then said "I knew I shouldn't have done that".

Nope.... my "luck" has always seemed to fall right on the line predicted by random chance. If I play blackjack, I tend to lose a couple bucks for every $100 I play.

Have you ever felt a cold shiver out of the blue (some people refer to it as having 'someone walk over their grave' - i.e. past life grave I hope).

My mom calles them "fresons" (she speaks french). I would consider them a biological response to something physical. Not supernatural.

How about, out of the blue, a ringing in your ears?

Same as a freson (pronounced w/ a french accent like "free song").
The Police rule! Much better than Sting's solo work.

Talismans? (Lucky rabbit's foot, lucky penny, kiss for luck, crystals, and the list could go on & on.)

Never seemed to work for me, but I do enjoy good luck kisses!
Oh and those crystals piss me off, cuz people tend to hand them from the rear-view. Not only do they reflect blue light (making them look like cop lights under certain conditions which is illegal), they tend to wreak havoc on the human head during an accident... ask my ex's friend who has one eye thanks to a minor fender bender. If it's not fuzzy dice, it shouldn't be hanging from the rear-view!!
