Over FB, I think it's bollacks.
However, I went to get a reading at a charity event. I was a young Mum, 19, she looked confused and told me she saw six children around me, I had five step children and one of my own.
She told me that (my fathers name) had died of a heart condition and had a message, the message was specific and personal.
She then told me that there was a (male name) I didn't know of anyone by that name, she went on that it was on my partners side and gave a brief description of how he died.
She told me other things, which I came away with, feeling short changed because I thought they were rubbish.
Telling my DP about my day, he went white and said "that's my brother". As far as I knew my DP had only one brother. It turned out that he had a brother, of the same name, die in childhood, as was described. In those days, it was thought best to not talk about a child you had lost and out of respect for their Mother (Irish Catholic Mammy) they didn't. My SIL is an over-sharer, so this shocked me.
I've had two another incidents that can't be explained, one involving my DD getting a reading from the other side of the pub, at the same time, which would out me.
All were charity events, that's why we got readings.
I think there's a lot of people that see it as easy money, so jump on the bandwagon, but you do come across one or two that can't be explained.
