Not surprising since probably 99.99% of people to make a claim that they are psychic are attention seekers, while any person with a keen sense of intuition and instinctual abilities would likely live in obscurity somewhere.
Just like how the best athlete in the world is likely some unknown person living in a place like Kenya who runs routine marathons for food and water, the people who are intuitively gifted are likely living in some remote areas away from technology where intuition and instict are required more for survival.
You can Google search Scientific theories on psychic abilities and there are numerous articles (including some in peer reviewed journals).
It wasn't that long ago that anyone who used natural phenomena in science was thought to have super natural powers. Eventually our understanding of the natural world has changed enough that we know people aren't "witches". We know so little about the human brain, I wouldn't discount anything completely. Essentially, we know as much about the human brain as medieval Europeans knew about things like chemistry and physics, so I would be weary of falling into any assumptions about psychics like they did about witches.
