Most interesting - and I *guess* there is no scientific proof satisfying all the statistical requirements to be accepted
by regular science at the moment - to prove her claims wrong or false. It is certain that humans with this ability exist and that they must be extremely rare; depending on circumstances, the time and place they were/are discovered, they might end up as guinea pigs in some lab, supreme sorcerers, royalty or simply being "disposed of " if they insist on their special ability - people tend to be hostile to things they can not understand and do not fit in the "accepted" drawer.
I am most interesting if this does get researched and explained scientifically - but with all the science, at least one another human being with the same ability will have to be independently used for confirmation; one can not create a scientific apparatus if it is not known what to look for and one single person might be simply telling ferytales upon which wrong set of scientific parameters would end up being used.
