Awful Psychic Reading

111 replies

Has anyone ever had a really good psychic reading where predictions have come true?

I've just wasted £30 on a phone reading. The reader got quite a few things wrong and was patronising. She said I need to work on self love. I've recently never felt so good about myself and confident.

The reader was supposed to be a medium and I was hoping for a message from a Grandparent.

What an idiot I have been!

Absolutely feel for you darling , had the same experience in Blackpool once they got my family completely wrong . Waste of money I say .

I have but I wouldn't touch anything like that with a bargepole! I am a sceptical believer and know that for every true, honest and talented medium there are 100s of charlatans waiting for your money

“for every true, honest and talented medium”

There’s no such thing, only predators who pick on gullible and vulnerable people.

It's made up nonsense and that's what you got Confused

I’m not proud of this, but I worked as a telephone psychic once. I was broke.

I’m not a medium. None of them are.

are you joking 😂anyone can become one

Only once have I gone to see a Medium.

i was very disappointed as she was a Large.

Chikapu · 04/11/2022 21:53

Lesson learnt I hope. Did you really believe someone on the other end of a phone was in contact with your deceased grandparent?

Most mediums are not even a small!

NeverOneBiscuit · 04/11/2022 21:57

It’s all complete nonsense, preying on people’s insecurities, difficult life events and bereavement. I think it’s very cruel and manipulative.

RayahB · 04/11/2022 22:02

I've seen one particular physic a fews times and she is amazing. Had always told me things that either weren't public knowledge or later became true. It's scary how many things she has told me that have been completely crazy that very shortly come true. I've also seen some rubbish ones but this one is brilliant

LubaLuca · 04/11/2022 22:05

It's all total bollocks so cut your losses and forget about it. They're all awful people, don't encourage it.

VeronicaFranklin · 04/11/2022 22:08

I didn't even know telephone Psychics were a thing!

I doubt you're speaking to mystic meg on the other line, more like Donna from a call centre in Wigan!

Pumpkinpatchlookinggood · 04/11/2022 22:12

Once.
Very spot on. Very creeped out tbh!

sorcerersapprentice · 04/11/2022 22:13

It's just a way of making money. They probably say exactly the same to every person who rings up

Beezknees · 04/11/2022 22:14

Psychics are not real. I think it's incredibly silly and a waste of money to go to one.

I worked for her company.

All fake and mainly out of work actors trying to make ends meet.

Supersimkin2 · 04/11/2022 22:17

I worked with famous psychics and I wasn’t impressed. Some of them believe in themselves and funnily enough they’re the first to tell you that it’s not an exact science, to put it politely.

ilkleymoorbartat · 04/11/2022 22:19

I'm really interested to know what draws people to visiting a psychic in the first place?

californiakiss · 04/11/2022 22:20

Ohh I hate when that happens you should try Etsy as you can read there reviews

Pumpkinpatchlookinggood · 04/11/2022 22:23

I was just The Designated Driver for some work mates and got roped in to a reading. Details included my current FWB having the same nn as my childhood pet! She also mentioned my deceased dgm in much detail. Including her house and garden..

Bunnyfuller · 04/11/2022 22:26

Telephone psychics are recruited in the same way as telephone sex chat. Ie it’s Maureen from Tamworth doing her ironing with you on speakerphone.

Other psychics are essentially the same, but with more delusions/chutzpah to do it in public.

HermioneWeasley · 04/11/2022 22:29

There is no such thing as a real psychic or medium.

lesson learned - don’t give any more money to these charlatans

elm26 · 04/11/2022 22:39

I've seen 2 very good psychics.

I've seen probably 10 in the past 12 years since I turned 18. I've always loved this kind of stuff.

The first one, 8 of us were booked in, my aunt and her friends and me and one of my friends. She knew about my aunt's best friends affair (?) she only told my aunt when it all came out and her kids sided with DH and her whole life/house/family fell apart as the psychic had warned her. Nobody knew. At all. She described my Nan and Gramps to a T even telling me where they were born, she also told me how many miscarriages I'd had which is a number in the double digits. Baring in mind I've never posted on social media about my miscarriages.

The second one told me about a dream I'd had? How did she even do this. It blows my mind. Not long after my Grandad died, I had a vivid dream that he was in a white bright hospital room with nurses that were glowing white (as you'd picture an angel) and I asked them how long he'd be there and she said "until he heals". He passed away with cancer. The psychic told me this exact dream, again, not posted on social media and then told me that he was healing from his illness before moving on to what we call heaven.

Really surreal and amazing experiences.

Please don't pay anyone over the internet or phone for a reading.
