Hi lumieres, Buddhism doesn't attach a lot of importance to such things. Sometimes they can happen as a result of meditation practice , or people can have certain abilities anyway ...but they're definately not a gift from anyone good or bad !

Sometimes I have predicted the occasional future event myself - it just happens, I don't try to do anything.

I don't think its anything particularly unusual, to be quite honest and its definately not the goal of Buddhist practice. The aim is to practice the Dhamma to overcome the causes of unsatisfactoriness/stress /suffering in ones life.
