My guess is that he probably didn't have any special abilities, that the thought was just thought with a lot of emotion behind it, and that you can once in awhile pick up thoughts.

Sure, but from what you say, unintentially or not, the old man did the trick.
"With a lot of emotion behind it" is also a good ingredience in any magic I've heard....
What I find interesting from time to time is the weird kinds of direct manipulation of other people's minds that is done in close vicinity of the victim (ie. you can see it).
Examples that I have experienced against me is feeling my body burn, and a sudden magnetic fixation upon an object. From the context and memory of these two attacks , they were done intentionally.
Perhaps I should change the topic a bit and allow other people in the the forum tell a tale or two (or just mention one or two) of psychic attacks a bit out of the ordinary compared to the more common ones.
