Well, I'm rather good at reading expressions, and can have my expectations speak for people as well as animals some rare times.
Often there's just an implicit "knowing" that someone or something or some dog next to me is feelthinking something appropriate, and conformation comes in the form of vocal or facial or behavioral expression.
On the side of hallucinations, when I was young I would see shadows take shape, and was afraid of the dark for it. On one occasion I had been taking a run when I rounded a corner to come to a screeching halt before what looked like a six foot tall wolf-shadow shape with fangs and the piercing red eyes that paralyzed me there for awhile. So certain I'd die, finally the will to survive kicked in and I ran so hard as I could in the opposite direction.
I don't "Hear" things, not auditory as I used to, but when I had room mates through thin walls, well, that wasn't all hallucination, but it did breed paranoia.
I can hear a thing singing, or "Ringing" I guess, when say, I throw a stick up into the air, and every time it turns a subsonic "Wub" plays in my conscious. listening to that I can hit some pretty amazing pre-cog moments when I know that several "Wubs" in I can hit it with this other stick, then I suppose the second stick's timing is pre-calculated to coincide with the right rotation and "Wub" for the spinning, falling stick I intend to hit.
