How do clairvoyants know things??

Why are you still talking to me? Just want to be awkward and goady? You don’t have to believe or understand where I’m coming from, and you also don’t need to challenge me either.

Some people can tune in to your thoughts and subconscious knowledge, like tuning into a radio station. Similar to Morphic Resonance. I knew someone who had this ability, and she said it was a curse. But note, they can only tell you something you already know - they can make predictions based on their experience or observations, but I don't see how they can know the future. This woman correctly told me (after I pushed her to tune in) that I was carrying twins and what their sexes would be. This was before I knew, but of course my body knew!

These are the people with that ability. There are also lots of charlatans around, who are clever in getting people to reveal stuff without them realising.

Sure. If you do the same and consider that there might be less.

In what way would your experience have felt any different if she had just guessed?

What I don’t quite understand about the spirits who come through to mediums on stage is why they’re so coy about giving hard information.

If I was dead and wanted to speak to a loved one in the audience via the medium, I’d give them my full name and the name of the person I wanted to speak to, bare minimum. I wouldn’t give them my initial, some random fact about myself, or give them a feeling in the area of my body that relates to how I “passed”. I’d just give up hard verifiable information.

Although what you're saying is rude and unlikely to be very persuasive with the previous poster, it's also true. There is a lot we don't know about how our brains work, but there is a lot we do.

Psychology and neuroscience give us really good explanations for many experiences that may feel miraculous, and also give us good reasons as to why our brains are prone to believe they are miracles/psychic/supernatural, even when they inevitably aren't.

Stop patronising me. Maybe open your mind up to there being more out there than you choose to believe.

I am not denying how your experience felt to you, I am asking you to consider in what way your experience would have felt any different if she had just guessed.

Think what you like. I know exactly how my experience went.

It’s how EVERYONE’s mind works, for goodness sake! It’s well researched and documented.

Try reading some science instead of woo claptrap.

I believe in it. Didn't used to, but have had far too many weird things happen now.

Many years ago, I decided to leave my first H, due to his continued cheating. I had not told a living soul about this. One night my H was out, and I was sat browsing the internet looking at houses, to see what I could afford on my own. My phone then rang and it was my Mum. She explained that they'd been to the village hall that had a Medium night on. She went on to tell me, that a Medium had told her that she could hear someone calling out my name, and to tell me that a move of house was indicated, a good man, and happiness. My Mum obviously thought it was nonsense, as in her mind I was happy. I should add here, that I have a VERY unusual name. I did indeed leave, get a new house, and met my now DH.

This same Medium told my Mum that she would come into possession of a guitar in unusual circumstances, and that she would win the lottery. About a year after the reading, my parents were sitting in the garden at midnight, and a guitar came flying over the fence, and landed on the lawn. Then, a few weeks later, they did indeed win the lottery (£20k).

Mum is no longer with us, and I was watching a Medium on Tiktok, who told me that if you want contact from loved ones who have passed, you have to ask out loud for it and ask for a sign. I asked out loud for my Mum to show me a butterfly. I didn't tell anyone about this. A few weeks later, on Mother's Day, my DH gave me a card from the dogs. It was a plain card, with a pin badge in the centre of a beautiful butterfly. I wear it on my coat now.

Shortly after that, I asked my Mum to show me a bumblebee. The next day, I see a FB advert posted by a lady with the same name as my Mum, who happens to make woollen bumblebees. The name of her company was my Mum's favourite flower.

I asked about 2 weeks ago for Mum to show me a feather in an unusual place. The next day, my dog was sitting in the garden with a white feather stuck to his lips! This has never happened before!

DH and I were talking about MIL one day, she has also passed away. One of us said something a bit negative and a huge canvas flew off the wall.

I saw a Medium a few months ago - the first and only time I have ever done so. My friend booked it, and gave the Medium no details about us whatsoever, not even our names. This Medium knew my Mum's name. Not the initial or anything vague, she said the right name, first time. She also knew lots of things she had no way of knowing. She knew that the adoption my son was talking about, was no longer going to happen. She said my son was about to meet a new woman - this has now happened. She said that my Mum mentioned that someone had been taking naked selfies! Bear in mind, I'm mid 50's! I denied this of course, but actually I had sent DH a saucy selfie a few days before - the only time I have ever done so in our 17 years together. She knew what my husband's job is. She knew that I had a sibling that passed and what their name started with. She knew that the day after the reading was a special day for my Mum (it was their wedding anniversary).

My Mum went to see a Medium many years ago. She had just lost her sister. She (my aunt) was called Pauline, but close friends called her Polly for short. The Medium was rubbish. Went they all got up to leave, a woman who had been sat next to my Mum in the audience said "That guy was rubbish. He didn't give anyone any real detail. I mean, you'd want someone to say" :

"Hey, I have your sister here, her name was Pauline, but everyone called her Polly for short".....

My Mum was convinced that her sister used someone else to get the message through.

I have a few more like this. Very strange! I now believe! Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. You can't see radio waves or your broadband signal, but they are very much there regardless!

But of course there is a possible way she could have revealed this information without knowing it at all.

She could have guessed / taken a stab in the dark.

It would be completely understandable if you found this miraculous, but please consider the possibility that she could have just guessed/tried it out. Respondents to "psychics" naturally respond to guesses/stabs in the dark that fit and dismiss those that don't. It's one of the bases of cold reading.

For those saying googling, social media etc .. what about the days before this? Saw a ‘clairvoyant’ back in 1990, so way before internet, mobile phones, social media etc. We went as a group from work. She told me a couple of things which were true and not easily guessable, but then she hit me like a ton of bricks when she said the baby I had terminated was doing well in the spiritual world, and would not have survived the living world, so the termination of was the best decision. No-one knew I’d been pregnant or terminated. Absolutely no-one. I was 18. I didn’t tell a single soul. There is no possible way she could have known this information at all. For me, this cannot be explained in any way other than she truly did have spiritual insight.

You don't know how my mind works , i do remember it with clarity .
Speak for yourself.

it was over 30 years ago and i remember it with clarity

No you don’t. That’s not how memory works at all. Memory doesn’t take a photo; nor is it a stored file you can refer back to.
Every time you recall something your mind recreates the whole scene anew. It adds details in, and is biased towards how you want to remember it.
What you’re “clearly” remembering is not what happened, but reconstructed memory of a reconstructed memory, as convincing as it may seem.

It wasn’t me she said it too, it was my friend. It wasn’t ’your kitchen is going to flood’ it was more along the lines of ‘I can see a lot of water in your house’ type of thing.

Why didn't she just say to you -
"Get home quickly, your kitchen is flooding!"
