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

[Chuggachuggatoottoot]

Experiences?

No. People cannot tell the future or speak to the dead. If they tell you they can they have MH issues or a con artists. I learned the hard way after my dad died and, vulnerable, got conned into a reading where I had to go along with what the 'psychic' was saying, despite it not being the smallest semblance of my dad. For £30

I saw one in 85/86, shortly after I got married. She told me I’d have difficulty having a family but not to worry as I was going to have two sons, she could see them and they have beautiful eyes.

Fourteen years later our eldest was born. Two years later his wee brother was born. The do indeed have big, beautiful, blue eyes with loads of long lashes.

I went to a cold reading in March and was told three very specific things. One has come true, no sign of one happening, and one could still go either way

My mum was told I'd have 3 kids but it would be hard getting there and I'd make mistakes along the way.

I was told with exH I couldn't have children but have a DD now with DP. But still only one. However she has a half sibling and he has a half sibling in turn so between me and DP there are 3 kids.

So unsure about it.

An old friend of my late nanna is psychic. I understand that people are sceptical, and everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. She always said 'If someone is genuine, they won't ask for payment, just give you comfort' and after my first 'sitting' with her with a group of my DM's friends, I would literally run in the opposite direction if I saw her in town, much to my DM's amusement. DM will say 'there's psychic ' to which I reply, 'Psycho I'm off' . She has been absolutely spot on with everything she's told us, most of it is unexpected. She wouldn't think twice about stopping you in the street, passing on a message and then walking away, which is what freaked me more.

• She knew I was changing my son's name when I was heavily pregnant, and only me and my DH knew about it. We'd only discussed it that day and hadn't mutually agreed on doing it, so hadn't told anyone else.
• Told me that my lost ring was in the washing machine, it was.
• Told my DM's friends what my DBro was wearing in his coffin, right down to his new red trainers. Even I didn't know about it, only my DP's
• Stopped me, DSis and DM in Wilkos and said 'Congratulations on the new baby joining in the family' I just looked at her, mortified and said 'isn't me', Dsis 'Isn't me' and DM looking .. Turns out Dsis was 5 weeks pregnant and she didn't even know.
• Told me not to be alarmed if the crib rocked, It's my brother checking on my DS
• Told my DM where DBros lost ring was, after months of searching after he died
• Told me that my Grandad forgave me for not going to see him when he was dying, he hadn't wanted me to see him that way and was proud of my decision. She didn't know my Granda and didn't know I hadn't been to see him when he was dying.
• Stopped my dad in the middle of a car boot, and said 'That leg is bothering you again, isn't it?' again, no one knew it had been because he hadn't said anything about it. Then said 'Your mam said you need to get checked, but you'll be ok'. Turned out something to do with his warfarin and the previous blood clot he'd had. Thankfully he was alright, but dread to think what could've happened if he had carried on ignoring it.

Everything she said made us think, it's particularly helpful when she tells us where lost things are, but it still freaks me out if she stops us in the street with a 'message'. Wish she'd give me the bloody lottery numbers though, but again, apparently a genuine person isn't there for financial gain....

She didn't know me from Adam, still doesn't know my name and I don't use social media, so there's no way she could look up anything particular about me. Everyone has their own opinions though, which is fair enough. Sometimes it freaks me out, sometimes it makes you stop and think about things, sometimes I think 'Yeah right' but she's not harming anyone so it's all good :D

Yes. Before I’d even sat down she told me to stop messing about with little operations and pills and get my uterus taken out. She was very insistent. I had indeed been having various procedures to try to sort out my horrific periods. Two weeks later I was diagnosed with pre cancerous cells. Womb came out, I was in the early stages of ovarian cancer. I’ve kept loosely in touch with this woman and another friend has benefitted a lot from her. I can read people a bit but this was something else. And I didn’t go in the room clutching at my stomach in pain or anything.

Was the lady from the Royal Exchange a very glamourous black lady? April or Avril possibly? If so she did a reading for my mum. Told her that her daughter's would be independent women but her son's complete mummy boys. My brothers are in their 30s and constantly too-ing and fro-ing from her house. She told her that her eldest would marry young and have a baby with an older policeman who played rugby. I did. However when the IRA blew up Manchester city centre and the MEN did an article about the businesses affected she didn't half get some stick about not seeing it coming

I’ve seen a few as I am quite interested in that area in general. I had some that made general assumptions but 2 stand out for me. The first told me all manner of things regarding family and my personal life I left feeling as if I’d been spied on. The 2nd the information I was given was completely accurate and was never shared with anyone, it was and still is a completely private part of my life. How she knew and described it amazed me. I now truly believe that there is much more than to the world we live in. I also understand the scepticism surrounding it, there are many charlatans out there and it’s too easy to prey on the vulnerability of people experiencing grief.

Hmmm..., I ended up going to the same fortuneteller twice, but she didn’t recognise me the second time 🙈 (I’m a catholic living in NI, which is relevant lol)

First time I went to her she was rhyming off all these people in my family ...Paddy, Seamus, Seán, Liam, Mary, Teresa etc. I was 100% convinced she was the real deal.

Went back a few months later for a bit of craic with my friend, hair since dyed and I never mentioned I’d been before. This time she started giving me names like William, Charles, David, Henry etc (but there is no one in my family with those names). Then at the end she told me someone special had come across to see me, William of Orange 😂🙈

It was at that moment I realised with blonde hair I look like a taig and with brown hair I look like a prod 😂😂

I’ve seen one with a friend.
We just smiled and sat down. She told us our past, present and future. Spot on, nothing ring at all for both of us, my friends future has unfolded as was said, I’m waiting to see if mine will too

I saw one who told me that I was in a love triangle which at the time was true and then went on to describe each of the men's personalities accurately. She told me that I would make the right decision and that the man I chose would be the one I would marry and have kids with (which he was).

She also told me that he would have stomach problems which although not serious would need to be looked into (he has had ongoing problems in this area which he is currently under investigation for).

But she also told me I would have boy/girl twins and I haven't and some vague stuff about my parents. I have seen a different psychic since and she was terrible I couldn't relate to anything she said.

I went about 25 years ago and she didn't charge me as literally got nothing - I was sceptical as I don't believe and as a pp said was giving nothing away at all - since then I've been to uni got married had kids both parents died so loads happened - got zilch from her tho

I won euromillions because a psychic told me the numbers. Best £20 investment ever

I had my palm read in my early twenties before the age of the interent.
She was a very old lady who was known for being uncannily accurate.
She asked no questions, just looked at my hands.

She told me I had already met the man who I would spend my life with, but it wasn't the right time for us yet - true.
That I would experience an accident that I would survive but I would injure my back - true.
That I would have three sons but only two would survive - true.
That i would live in a place with mountains for a time - true
That I was adopted - true
That I would make much trouble for myself in the next few years with drugs but I would survive it - true
That I would experience much physical pain in my life later on and there was nothing I could do to avoid it - true
Tha one of my sons will be a great leader who will change the world - yet to be seen ,but one of them is determined to head for politics or international diplomacy as a career.

so .....yes. I think that lady was genuine. Am watching both my sons with interest.

I am a sceptic. However I would like to go to one just to see what happens.
My DS(14) gets freaked out because sometimes he has a dream about something that comes true.

I think there are some charlatans and some genuine ones, I had a dodgy reading where the "psychic" was asking stupid random questions but the same psychic had told a friend where and when she would meet her DH and how many kids they'd have.

I had an experience once when I was single and I'd met a guy when out with friends, had a few snogs and got a taxi home at the end of the night, I got dropped off first and he promised to call soon and we'd go on a date. The next day he turned up at my house unexpectedly, I invited him in for a coffee and as he walked into the kitchen and turned round, I suddenly had a picture in my head of a woman I'd known 10 years previously, he started to say I've got something I need to tell you and I replied you're with Julie Smith aren't you, he admitted it and kept asking how I knew but I couldn't tell him I had visions in my head 😂

I have visited 2.

The first on the recommendation of a friend who when I got there turned me a way at the door.

The second I went with a group from work. Again I was turned away. Every one else was allowed in. I was left hanging around outside.

I have thought of going again but wonder if it is worth it as I might get turned away again

Yes, on several occasions. I do believe that some people have a 'gift' but also that there is some 'scientific' explanation that we are not yet aware of. People who dismiss it entirely would probably believed that the world was flat and would have been difficult to persuade otherwise.

To look at an example given by a PP
"I’d have two children a boy and a girl, I have two girls so almost right on that."
If you have 2 children, they are 50% likely to be 1B 1G "fully right" and 50% likely to be either GG or BB "Almost right".
Almost half of women will have 2 DC.
If you have 3 DC, they are 75% likely to include 1G 1B, which would be considered "almost right" with a bonus DC! More than 3 DC is even more likely to include 1G 1B
If you only have 1 DC, its bound to be a boy or a girl. If you believe the psychic you might be more likely to decide to have another, which is 50% likely to be the other sex.
Or you might decide that that early miscarriage must have been the other sex, or decide to include your stepchild/ your DCs half-sibling on the other side etc
If you have no DC, you might consider your step-DC, or your Niece & nephew, to fulfil the reading
You might even be more likely to pursue a serious relationship with a man with 1G 1B, believing it to be fate.
All in all, way more than half of all women could consider that reading to be "almost right"

My MIL recently passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. My DH struggled to deal with it after giving her CPR and bringing her back only for machines to be turned off due to brain damage and was unable to face going to the undertaker apt’s or to see her body. The rest of the family tried to persuade him to do so.
My SIL lives in Canada and came over for the funeral. She went to the local hairdressers and after the initial conversation about what had happened she says she sat and read a book. As she was having the finishing touches done a lady came in for her apt. SIL left. About 10 minutes later she got a phone call from the hairdresser. The lady who came in had asked the staff who had lost a loved one recently as there had been a lady stood looking in the window - she described MIL (who had a distinctive look for her age!) perfectly and said she’d asked for a message to be passed on to my DH by name saying that his mum was happy with his decision.
I’ve always been a sceptic but this made me think - she didn’t know SIL so wouldn’t have known MIL died. Even if she did, no one outside of the immediate family knew about his refusal to the see the body. She got nothing from passing on this information.

Not a psychic, more of a psycho - random stranger in the street told me I was going to have a baby boy. Never happened. I was ttc at the time so it did my head in a bit.

I visited my local spiritual church after my granny died and received a number of messages. I am utterly convinced that some people can communicate with spirit.

commander that's impressive. Although I personally don't think she should have told you about your son's

My mother had her palm read at a party in the 1960s and the one thing I always remember her telling me about it when I was growing up (she referred to it quite often) was that she was going to have a serious illness later in life, but the reader had told her not to worry too much, because she was going to be fine. So when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, which had spread into her lymphatic system, she was pretty much the only member of the family who wasn't panicking. Her treatment was successful and 10 years on it hasn't come back.

@commanderdaisy, telling you that you're adopted is quite impressive.
