Having recently lost both my parents, I've found my thoughts turning to what happens after death.
I'm not religious in any way so no comfort there. I once had a reading by a medium at a psychic fair and it was utter tosh. However I know some very level headed people who've had experiences that can't be explained by what science knows.
I'm not asking if there's life after death - I haven't a clue though hope so but I know that would spark a huge debate with polarised views.
My question is, if anyone is happy to say, I'd like to hear any stories of success with seeing a medium. I mean examples of a medium saying something they couldn't possibly have guessed at.

I didn't go to see a medium,she was someone I knew to say hello to...

She approached me one day and said she had something tell me and would I be interested....we both happened to be at the same local event one evening . She said while she was sitting there she was recieving messages and out of the 12 people in the room she had been drawn to me.So we went off to the local cafe and she told me what she knew,but while with me she was getting more and more through.
The stuff she told me totally convinced me....little things that only people in your house would know. Daft things you would have done at home with you mam that know one would ever know. Something special I had done for my son etc

The only happy people in these situations are the mediums (media? Smile) themselves. They find bereaved people and manage to extricate their money from them.

And yes, apparently convincing experiences have been explained time and again.

I’ve told this story on here a few times.

Many years ago I divorced my EXH. He had an adult niece, let’s call her Jane, who claimed to be a medium. I adopted a “that’s nice dear” attitude cos I thought it was bull. Anyway. EXH, was not DDs father, and DD was an adult, so when we divorced, we never saw him, or his family again.

Fast forward many years and DD was in a serious accident, and very badly injured. A couple of weeks or so after, I got a Facebook message from Jane asking what had happened. I hadn’t put anything on social media, and Jane wasn’t even on my friends list, so I asked her how she knew. She said she’d had to “guide DD back three times”. This chilled me to the bone for two reasons. One DDs heart stopped three times, and the doctors restarted it, and two, DD had been hallucinating due to the drugs she was on and had been rambling about Jane visiting and not letting her sleep. No one but us and the doctors knew about her heart stopping as I didn’t want my already frantic elderly parents worrying anymore than they already were.

She said she’d had to “guide DD back three times”

Im sorry you had such a terrible fright with your DD's accident, Omgineed but what a horrific, manipulative thing that woman wrote to you. Word gets around very very quickly about serious accidents; it did even before social media. More people than you realise will have known, especially those with family links.
This vulture claims to have somehow psychically known about your DDs injured state, and was then able to be in touch with her spirit in the ether, and advise her on how to stay alive? Confused. Then, after all that, had to contact you to asked the details of the accident, because despite her amazing powers she didn't know what happened?Hmm

Life is a set of physical processes. Medical staff saved your DDs life, no one else.

Littledidsheknow

You do not know that. You can believe what you want yo believe but do not force your beliefs on others.

Littledidsheknow · 27/02/2019 11:14

In what way did I "force my belief on others" Drogo ? Confused

I expressed my opinion, and stated facts.

Yes, people can believe whatever they want to believe. Shame that for some it's unsubstantiated, scientifically unsupportable bollocks.

I went to see a medium once at the spiritualist church. I didn't know any one there and just went out of curiosity. At no point was I asked for my name and paid in cash. The medium brought through my deceased grandmother and said she was telling him that there was a spelling mistake on her grave. When we registered her death we misspelled her middle name and the grave etcher used the name of the death certificate. When I went to apologise to her the medium said there was no need she had given the information only to prove it was her.

You have no idea if people have out of body experiences, or if some people can feel and see things others can't Littledidsheknow.

No one knows these things for sure. Both of your posts come across as rude and superior. I am very much a septic on the whole psychic ability front, but you are just hear to tell people (who didn't ask) that it's a load of bollocks!

Oh don’t worry, I don’t think for one moment she had anything to do with it. But the fact she knew it was three times together with DDs ramblings about a person she’d not seen, heard from or thought about for ten years (in fact when she was well she wasn’t sure straight away who I was talking about when I told her about the incident) did freak me out a bit lot

omg I'm glad your DD was okay, have those messages from Jane combined with your daughters rambling would freak me out too!
