Provided there is deeper knowledge available and all
Guilt does funny things to people. It's possible that she knew about the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim and chose this route to allow the victim's body the respect of either a proper burial or cremation.Interesting. If it was planned, what did she gain by going to the police and possibly incriminating herself? If it was for publicity, why would she get the victim wrong?
Of course humans didnt discover every hidden power and blah blah blah, and I dont think humans are the most intelligent beings on the earth (please no religion war :/)

not to kill the party, but note "ONION NEWS NETWORK"
Yes, I am well aware that the ONN is not a legitimate news source. I posted it because it's funny and relevant.
haha, okay. sorry, just based off your post from before about humans not using most of their brains i was a little skeptical.
This is an excellent example of our tendency to count the hits and ignore the misses---people have dreams in which they see dead bodies all the time, and except for this instance, they were probably all false.
Really? I've never had a dream about dead bodies.
Good for you.
Have you?
Not that I can recall. The vast majority of the dreams we experience go completely unrecalled. But if you're going to take everything I said and focus on the aspect that you personally have not had a dream about finding a dead body then discussing the matter with you further is not really going to be worth my time.
Seriously, guys, it's one woman and a lucky coincidence. If there were stories of people everywhere digging up dead bodies because they dreamt them I would be intrigued, but the idea that one woman had a dream that lead to a body being dug up is well within plausibility. This is an excellent example of our tendency to count the hits and ignore the misses---people have dreams in which they see dead bodies all the time, and except for this instance, they were probably all false. But, of course, the media doesn't provide coverage of those stories, so we tend to only think about these sorts of "psychic" incidences in the rare moments that chance lines up in just the right way to produce an uncanny outcome, at which point the media throws a frenzy.
Remember that this is a hypothesis and would not be considered fact until proven - which I expect it to eventually be.
How then can you categorically deny the possibility??
How then can you categorically deny the possibility??
I am not "deny[ing] the possibility", I am merely withholding belief in the proposition until I start seeing some evidence that people are actually capable of precognition. I do not think that it is impossible for people to see the future. I merely think it is highly unlikely. So until I start seeing some statistically significant evidence that people are telling the future in unprecedented numbers, I see no reason to give credence to the odd incident here or there that resembles on the surface some sort of precognitive capacity.
That aside, I do find the statement you put forth intriguing, but I'll wait until your hypothesis is tested by people more capable than I to believe it or not.
