She Could Read Minds… But I Outsmarted Her

How I Beat a Psychic at Battleship (Yes, Really)

Okay, this story might sound like a scene out of a supernatural comedy movie, but I swear it happened. And it’s one of my proudest, weirdest victories of all time.

She Could See Through My Eyes… Literally

I had just started college. I was dating this girl who was about to graduate high school — super sweet, super intuitive, and crazy psychic. I mean, her third eye was WIDE open. She could see auras, feel people’s energy, and apparently even see through someone else’s eyes.

This was the first person who ever really talked to me openly about their psychic gifts. I’d always been able to connect with angels and feel people’s general energy, but this girl? She was next level. And one of the first things she proudly told me?

“I’ve never lost a game of Battleship.”

Wait… What?

She explained that she used her spiritual gifts to look through her opponent’s eyes and see their game board. Like a psychic superpower cheat code.

Obviously, I challenged her. And luckily for me, she revealed her secret before we started playing.

Game On

So we sit down to play. She closes her eyes, going into that peaceful, psychic mode. While she’s getting her inner vision ready, I’m doing something sneaky — I’m placing all my ships by touch, not looking at my board at all. I figured, if she needs to see through my eyes, I better not let my eyes see anything in the first place.

Then, at the very last second, I did a quick blurry glance to check my setup, and right at that moment, with her eyes still closed, she says:
“Got it.”
🙄 Of course she did.

But I Had One Last Trick…

As the game went on, she was doing well, slowly locking in on where my ships were. She got four of them sunk. But the fifth? That was my secret weapon.

I had placed two boats right next to each other in the top right corner — a three-peg and a two-peg — sneaky sneaky. It was my only hope.

She got a little disoriented trying to find the last one. Meanwhile, I tapped into my own intuitive vibes and managed to sink almost all of hers. It came down to one final move from each of us.

She was one hit away from finding my last boat. I was one hit away from sinking hers.

It was a coin flip.

I trusted my gut…

And I won.

She Was NOT Happy

She threw a playful tantrum, refused to ever play again, and to this day holds the grudge. 😂 But I wear that win like a psychic battleship badge of honor.

Moral of the Story?

Even if someone has spiritual gifts, intuition, or psychic skills, there’s always room for strategy, trust, creativity… and maybe a little mischief. 😉
