Any mediums on here?

I need to contact someone. Is it real?

Not until I rather randomly stumbled upon one in real life in my 30's.

You stumbled upon a particularly gifted cold reader.

@UnctuousUnicorns I second this. Psychics can only provide you with snippets of information OP, and although it's fascinating that some people seem to know a huge amount about you without ever having spoken with you before, it often doesn't help you move forward. Sometimes I think it can actually get in the way of moving forwards because people often get overly focused on what the psychics have told them. Saying that, they do exist, and I'm just an average mum like everyone else on here, I never used to believe in all this stuff either.

Mumsnet isn't the best place to look for this type of thing.
They are all experts and their own opinions are FACT. They know everything. Or think they do.

Nowhere is a good place to look for mediums because they don't exist.

There are plenty of people pretending to be mediums though.

I was experiencing a whole load of intense supernatural/paranormal activity when I visited a medium, bewildered and feeling a need to make sense of it all. Part of it made sense, but tbh it provided only one piece of the jigsaw. To be honest, I got more reassurance from a lady on a spiritualist forum, who gave her advice and support freely.

I hope you can get some reassurance and peace too, OP, however you do.

CaptainCarrot · 10/02/2024 23:29

Yes, I’m a medium. I can make contact with people who have died and passed over to the spirit world. . .

Not really, it’s all nonsense and a despicable way to exploit emotionally vulnerable people. Anyone can tell you they have these abilities. And it will be as true as when I said it, i.e. not true at all.

If you need help or just a friendly ear, here is the number for the samaritans:

116123

They can help you for free. Mediums will not help you and it won't be free.

Testina · 10/02/2024 23:24

I’m in the utter crap at best camp, and shameless advantage taking at worst.

But…

Let’s say it is real. Isn’t it more healthy to find another way to move forward? (and I mean move forward, not move on - there are things and people you’ll never move on from).

Whether that’s grief counselling or something else - surely it’s better than having to look a for a good medium (if you believe they exist) and risk the bad?

Unless of course Great Uncle Stan just died and he was the only person who knows where your passport is - and you fly on Monday. Then yeah, you need to contact the dead.

Otherwise… is there no other way you can find peace?

Theunamedcat · 10/02/2024 23:23

Find someone local reccomended and above all not to expensive you need comfort you shouldn't lose lots of money while your getting it

I guarantee your relative will say they love you they are proud of you follow your heart and dreams but always keep an eye on tomorrow! and that all your relatives are at peace together happy and at peace

Of course they exist. I know a couple of psychic women and it's a dreadful burden for those who truly have the 'gift'. I'm afraid the two I know are not here on Mumsnet, but I've seen posts in the past on here by psychics so hopefully there'll be someone to help you.

🙄🙄😂😂

More of an extra large.

You beat me to it 🤣

AngryBird6122 · 10/02/2024 23:20

Ok. I have a spiritual church near me, very near

I'm sorry you're feeling distressed.
Mediums do not exist though.
They are all charlatans.

Yes you're right, I don't think Mumsnet is the place to seek help. You ideally need a recommendation from someone you trust.

AngryBird6122 · 10/02/2024 23:18

Not looking for online. Someone in real life. But dh doesn’t believe at all
abd thinks im
nuts.

I hope not.
The OP sounds upset and she doesn't need a bunch of fakes and scoundrels taking advantage of her.

Mediums take advantage of vulnerable people for monetary gain, are you really that desperate to listen to mumbo jumbo while they claim to be talking to dead relatives? Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Ladybird69 · 10/02/2024 23:12

I just wrote an essay and it disappeared 🥲
basically there are good and bad and you won’t know until you’ve seen them. I attended a spiritual church and they had good and bad there! Try and find someone word of mouth. Best one for me was a middle aged man who came straight from the gym in his Lycra. Totally didn’t look the part but told me things nobody knew! And predicted things that were to go on and happen in the future! But I lost his details 🥲 good luck Op

Itsjustafly · 10/02/2024 23:08

My ex-sil is an 'online medium'. It'd definitely not real although she seems to make decent money from manipulating vulnerable people.

TheShellBeach · 10/02/2024 23:07

You're not serious, OP.

Mediums don't exist.

PinkiOcelot · 10/02/2024 23:05

Look up your local spiritualist church and go there.

maximist · 10/02/2024 23:04

It's all nonsense.

HTH

Basilandmandarin · 10/02/2024 23:03

No one will be able to help you over a screen. It doesn’t work like that OP. I promise you.

I hope you find peace and closure with whatever it is, through other things. But an “online” medium won’t be one- I’m sorry.
