Mediums are not people with special powers, they are charlatans who trick people into thinking they are.

What do you need help with? There's probably an explanation you either haven't thought of or have thought of and discounted.

This. Mediums are conniving charlatans who cold-read, or deluded. Neither type is going to help you deal with what you clearly believe is a domestic ‘haunting’, but which almost certainly has a far more prosaic explanation.

It’s not true that they’re all charlatans.

I do know of one who offered to help a relative - I might add that she doesn’t charge.
The relative in question is a thoroughly down to earth type who was astonished at what the person - someone she happened to know anyway - was able to do.
No, she couldn’t and can’t begin to explain it either, but was very grateful
anyway.

I’m not saying that there aren’t plenty of charlatans about, but there are still things that can’t be explained by current science.

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

Which was what exactly?

DownWhichOfLate · 10/03/2021 08:55

Isn’t a medium size 12-14? Grin

There's a religion and spirituality board on here where you'll get more sympathetic responses.

I am not a medium but can advise you (no charge) on here how to cleanse your space.

Don’t talk bollocks.

They’re all charlatans. They’re either liars or they’re delusional and nobody should be encouraging them.

And you don't think the fact that this 'medium' knew your relative might have contributed just a teensy weensy bit to her effectiveness?

Honestly, when people are this gullible you don't even need to do a Sally Matthews (was that her name?) and have your assistants circulate in the lobby before a 'show'.

And the fact that she didn't charge is irrelevant. Most trolls on Mn don't see any financial benefit from inventing stories and claiming to be someone they aren't, but there's clearly something that they enjoy about it nonetheless.

Sorry can’t help I’m an extra large

DragonPoop · 10/03/2021 11:28

@Tlollj I was going to say the exact same thing Grin

You're confusing not buying into mediums actually existing, other than as lying charlatans, as a lack of sympathy. I'd like to help the OP if possible and stated as much. I just don't want her to fall prey to some liar whilst she's disturbed or upset about what's going on.
