I have been thinking about precognition & telepathy.

In some examples, which might on first analysis seem like precognition, it is really more likely to be telepathy. Example, if someone says he/she will ring come & pick me up tonight and we will go out somewhere and I get a really strong feeling that it isn't going to happen, (or the way it often works for me) I keep forgetting that I'm supposed to be going out somewhere or I keep making alternative plans and have to consciously remind myself that I'm going out instead, and then on further analysis I realise that I am psychically picking up that it probably isn't going to happen as planned. The reason for this supposed precognition is possibly that I am telepathically picking up from the other person that they have changed their mind or their circumstances have changed and they can't come. If they have changed their mind, or have regretted making the plans, but don't know how to tell me that then they are more likely to be *dwelling* on the thought of how they are going to tell me the bad news and that is a good mental atmosphere for transmitting telepathically.

So, if the "precognition" is related to a person's thoughts, actions, intentions etc then it could be telepathic more than precognitive. But, my precognitive experience a week prior to the earthquake, when I was standing in exactly the same spot as a week later, after the event, and feeling all those feelings - how can I explain that? It's possible that I could have picked up subconsciously on vague earth-tremors which heralded the earthquake, but why was it when I was standing in that exact spot? Questions, questions.
