Mediums and speaking to the dead

Lads my missus is hell bent on going to see one of these fraudsters, her Granda died a month ago. I have told her they will do nothing but part you with your money. Has anyone had any experience of them?

Useless shower. Sure if they were good they wouldn't be called 'medium'

She said her friend went and told her stuff "nobody else would know"......she was probably a fecking private detective in her spare time !

Con artists preying on the desperate and the gullible.

I don't believe a word of it. I know people who went and found great peace from it.

I don't know, isn't there cases of ones giving information about where bodies are buried and that?
Most though are just very good con artists.

I went to a fortune teller a few years ago (hereself took me along, we weren't going out long, I was still trying to impress her and be nice). She did tell me stuff she wouldn't have known but only one thing she told me about the future came true. She did tell me I was going to have two girls and a boy but so far so good on that front.

I went to a fortune teller in Belfast, somewhere the CastleCourt. What a freaky fella. He had all these stuffed monkey, dressed as samurai warriors.

Anyway, he could me I was going to become a hermit and all my social interactions would be via the Internet. I would cut off all tie would people around me.

When these people demonstrate their so-called psychic abilities under controlled experimental conditions, where they cannot pick up cues from the people they're suckering or don't have any opportunity to do background research and the subjects are shown that there is something other than random chance to their predictions, then maybe I'll think there is something to it.

Just watch Darrin Brown. He stages these things all the time and exposes them for the tricks they really are.
