To ask has anyone had a psychic tell them something that came true?

[Chuggachuggatoottoot]

Experiences?

Somebody on Mumsbet sent me a DM telling me, among other things, my name, my date of birth, the names of my siblings and my parent's places and dates of birth. She had found all that out because I had mentioned my father's very unusual first name and country of birth.

There is loads of information out there.

My mum saw one before she married. She was told there were 2 dc close in age, they were both in the pram. I was in the pram, my elder brother on top. Lots of other things tha came true bar living overseas, but she’s visited my db in Oz so much that it’s like she did.

My sil was psychic, I’m a sceptic but convinced. She could tell you where anything was that was lost, despite living in a different country. She could tell anyone what was in their bag, including very random stuff, like a coloured ribbon or tickets to America. Pretty amazing lady.

I have a friend who loves them. When they tell her things she tries really hard to make them fit to things in her life. Telling someone their grandad is going to go to hospital is likely to be pretty accurate as most adults have a grandad who'll be very elderly and therefore will be very likely to go to hospital. I saw one who told me I'd been given a vase by a relative who'd died. I said no. He then said it was an ornament. I said no. He changed to one of my late relatives had had a vase or ornament in their house that they'd meant to give me I think they are liars who con people out of money.

I see people who have passed , when I was buying my current house , a little woman about 4ft 9 told me to buy this house , and that I would be happy here , she even told me how much the seller had already turned down

I bought it , for the price she suggested and live here happily for the last 19 years
and as I have said before I see her often I know she had several miscarages , and lots more

her and her husband bought the house the day I was born , she told me that too, and it was confirmed the day I saw all the deeds to the property

but don't ask me to do it ,for you I don't believe in God, and I don't know how I do it, I just sometimes can

A friend of mine went to see a psychic who said "I see you with a dog called Gemini" so she bought a dog and called it Gemini.

I remember someone at a previous employment spending about half an hour advising me of their psychic gift.

Shortly afterwards they were late for work after being delayed by a farmer taking his cattle across the road. Surely if he had the gift as described he would have predicted this and left early or taken another way to work?

Bloody hell Bert

I went to see one when I was 19, some things turned out to be true but I can't remember the rest.

I don't believe in their 'powers'.

Does anyone remember the (I think) Derren Brown program where he tells a large group of random strangers he is going to do a psychic reading for them all, he gave them all a sealed individual envelope with their "personal" reading inside. Every single person is shocked at how accurate the information is etc -then Derren reveals they were all given the exact same copy! It was really very interesting!

Yes

I have seen 2. One i took a brand new dictaphone with to record the conversation as she read my cards. She predicted my siblings marriage breaking down. Also told me i'd end up with a very close friend of mine, which i did. She also read a friends cards who was with me - predicted her sons, saw her dead grandfather with his dog which she named. She was not reaching at all - seemed very on the money.

The second one i saw was a psychic who'd been on Oprah! She was reaching so much - asking me if i knew someone with this anme and where a place i have no connection too. Then she pulled out my aunts death, where she lived (South Africa), knew she died of throat cancer, told me about mu husbands illness and that he was over the worst (none of this is on social media) and that i'd have a son when my child was 5 - well i never had a son. As many things as she got 'right' and were strangely accurate, she also got so many things totally off the mark.

I was on a night out with a group of friends and was waiting to be served at the bar, when a woman accidentally bumped into me. She wasn’t part of the group I was with and I’d never seen her before. She apologised and as she turned to go, she asked me if I had lost something that meant a lot to me and went on to describe exactly where I would find it. She said she could see it in a white box on top of a cupboard, like a wardrobe, but in a downstairs room. She said that she could see three circles joined together and to make sure I looked, then disappeared into the crowds.
A few weeks before I had lost my great granny’s wedding, engagement and eternity rings that had been put on a chain as they were absolutely tiny and I could not wear them. I found them in a shoe box, on top of ds wardrobe, in his bedroom that is downstairs, as it’s is a garage conversion. Still freaks me out, when I think about it !

I went to a spiritualist church, so there was no way they knew my name or anything about me as I'd never been before, it was in 2009 a few months after my nan died and my boyfriend of 4 years had finished with me by text. The medium there told me something my nan had said to me the week before she died, using the exact words my nana had used, then went on to tell me about a man i would that was the one that was meant for me.
She said he was tall with dark hair and facial hair, and he was holding a red rose to his chest. That he had a sister figure, but not an actual sister, that had been through similar things to me and I'd be able to help her. I didn't think much of it, 2 years later i met my now dh. We'd been together 18 months and i was pregnant with ds1 when my mum asked me if i remembered what had been said. DH is over 6ft, has dark hair and a beard. He idintifies as English (so the red rose to his chest was symbolic) I'm Welsh. His sil has lived through similar to myself and we spent hours and hours talking it through.

Sorry that was so long! But i do believe that some are absoloutely genuine and others prey on vulnerable people giving generic info that could apply to anyone in the world.

My FIL was summoned by his own FIL to his house to be met with a psychic. He told him to ‘get his affairs in order.’
My FIL died of a heart attack shortly after in his early 30s. He was a clean living athlete.

I had a regular customer who called herself gypsy Rose. She took my hand one day, looked really uncomfortable and said that I would give birth to 2 girls and a boy but only have 2 living children. She also said that we would be ok despite all of this(She knew my husband too). I didn't think much of it as we had no plans to have children at the time. It has all come true! There's definitely something in it even though I am a sceptic.

I was told I'd have twin girls. I've had twin boys ... so not far off ! She also said I'd be married 3 times. DH less than impressed with that addition...

I had a very accurate reading, down to new job, type of job (very specific), a person I would meet doing the job (highly accurate description) and what I would study (again very specific). They described my DH to a tee...things that others simply would not know and we were not on social media so there was no information to be gleaned from that. The weirdest thing was their description of our bedroom and personal items in the bedroom. It was spot on.

There was some other information that I wasn’t sure of at the time (redecorating after a leak). I was dreading this but actually realised that what she was describing was a window that was letting in water. They also told me to go for a blood test as there was a particular issue that needed to be addressed. I went for a blood test a few weeks later which identified EXACTLY what they had mentioned.

It's all bollocks. Frauds and deluded idiots, take your pick.

I was a complete disbeliever, but my SIL was a believer and recommended a woman in Manchester. I was walking past her one day and realised that's who my SIL was talking about, so I paid for a consultation.

She told me I was one of 9 - with 5 girls and 4 boys. And then she said, "but I see another boy. Did your mother have another boy who died?" She had. This was my family set up. She said both my husband and I were teachers. We were. (She'd seen my husband and my youngest child who was 5 months old - my husband went off with our son when I started the consultation.) She said I had two children. True. She said one child would be very gifted in music, art or drama. True, but not know until he was in his 20s. She said there was an older woman who wanted me dead - I said, my MIL? She said "No, someone else. Someone who wants your husband and knows he won't leave you." True, as it turned out.

I don't believe in it but she didn't say one thing that wasn't true. This was in 1992, so no internet, no looking up anything, no names mentioned.

@HollowTalk can you please dm me that name?

I saw one in early 90s who told me I was about to get engaged and described the ring as it was really unusual. About 6 mths later, with no prompting from me (and I hadn’t mentioned the visit as he wasn’t a believer) my boyfriend (now DH) asked me to marry him with a ring exactly like the unusual one she described.

I don't know her name, EZA. It was a long time ago and I doubt she's still there. It's always stuck in my mind though - as I said, I don't believe in it but there was too much personal information there - eg she told me I was the fourth of nine children - how could she know that? I've tried to find her - she was at the Manchester Royal Exchange, but it was a long, long time ago.

I’d recommend anyone vaguely interested in this sort of thing read The Veil by Blake Healy. Possibly not before bedtime.
Essentially some/most of them are fakes but those that aren’t- this book spells it out.

Why do you think Blake Healy is genuine?

That it would cost me £20 for the reading.

And it did!

The rest of it? Not so much.
