Including something implausible in an otherwise realistic story

Let's say I'm writing a story that isn't a fantasy story, it's more of a realistic thriller. However, I want to include a character who has psychic powers like telepathy and psychokinesis.

Is it possible to include a character like that, and still have a realistic story? If so, how should it be handled? Are there good reasons not to do this or any particular pitfalls to look out for?
