Believe what a medium has said?

[wellhelloyou]

Has anyone had a reading from a psychic medium (or like) and had something exactly came true? Not something vague but something specific almost word for word?

puzzled.

Two different families, the Romany one, my blood family the ones who work in Blackpool and my other family, no blood where the boy came from. So not claiming any hereditary gifts from a family I have no blood ties to.

I’m appalled by the idea that supernatural powers can be passed on by blood.

It suggests that there is a race of super-humans or of freaks.

Neither suggestion is sensible or welcome.

So not claiming any hereditary gifts from a family I have no blood ties to

I didn't suggest you were, Romany; it was the wider family you mentioned I was referring to - you know, the ones who've made a fortune out of making things up so must presumably enjoy it

Naturally, if you can prove that alleged psychic powers are not made up I'll take back every word I've written and apologise ... and I'll mean it

Same as jetstream

Puzzled

The wider family my mums family and my mum aren't my blood, nor were her aunts or the young lad.
I claim to have gained the Synesthesia through my blood Romany family as it's hereditary.
I know it's hard to follow, I struggle sometimes.
I have 40 first cousins, I've not met half of them.

You have a dd who has brought joy into your life.
There is something red that has particular significance to you.
In your house there is one room that feels colder than the others.
In 1999 there was a significant event.
Your mum has had health issues which are resolving.
Three is an important number.
You have an item of clothes that is meaningful to you, but you should throw away.
You have had a promotion at work.

This just proves that it's not as easy as you think, only the first one is true for me and that's hardly a shocker 😂

There's always an explanation, but lots of people would rather believe a supernatural one rather than believe they've been duped.

I’m not meaning people who pay to see a psychic, I mean just random unexplained happenings, or people who have a psychic experience.

I think cats are psychic. The one in my house knew i was pregnant....would not leave my newly pregnant belly alone. When the bump showed he lost interest. People guessed i was pregnant before the 12 week svan because of the cat!
To be fair i think it was the smell i was giving off...or hormones! Sorry for minor derailment.

A little lady went around my husbands old work, it was a workshop. She told him our pregnancy was going to end and sure enough, week later, I miscarried.

He told me few years after.

I haven't been to any.

@sweetlittlepug Why not just keep an open mind

How open minded are you to the possibility that it's all a load of crap?

There’s a reason why James Randii’s million dollars remains unclaimed

Actually it is now unreclaimable as the Randi Foundation decided a few years ago (2015, thank you Wikipedia) to put the money to better use.

'unclaimable'

Damn spell checker.

As it should be. Since the prize cannot be won - because supernatural powers don’t exist - it’s insurable for next to nothing.

Well you obviously think so, I don’t. No more to be said then.

Fair enough if people don’t believe , but it sometimes gets ridiculous the depths they’ll go to to debunk someone’s unexplainable experience. Why not just keep an open mind and accept that there are things that happen that simply can’t be explained

As someone wiser (and funnier) than me once said. "If you open your mind enough - your brains fall out".

Yes some things are unexplainable but only because there is not enough evidence to support ANY explanation. Just because something is 'inexplicable' (due to shoddy observation, reliance on second, third, or fourth-hand anecdote or lack of corroboration) doesn't mean there are Powers From Beyond or any other woo explanation. It just means that there is not enough evidence of any kind to explain 'it'.

And you have to bear in mind that quite often 'it' is one person's subjective version of something that happened years ago.

Yes i did.

And she was right on everything and couldnt of possibly known any of it.

One day randomly walked into a pub and a physic / medium was there... So thought i would give it a go
I was young... 25.
As soon as i sat down, she said "I have ur mum with me"
She also said things that she liked doing that was no way obvious, she said she was with her dad and her grandson and the name of her grandson. She said what my mum had died of and what she had planned for her funeral
(All true)
She said things that was true about my relationship and she said we would break up, change careers completely and the new man would move me to the country, i was a London girl and had no intension of moving out of London or splitting with that partner who i had been with for 8 years (All true)

She also mentioned names i didnt know of. But my nan later confirmed those names of people who passed away....

So......

This is a true story:

Tarot Card Reader to Me: “Oh and good luck with the teenage years!”

Now he WAS fucking psychic.

Canyouhelp But you’re soon going to be told there’s a perfectly logical explanation for how that medium knew so much about you, and your mum. Perish the thought the woman was actually psychic.

I'm 50/50 on this.

I went to see a psychic who seemed to get details out of me then use it to say stuff which would bring me comfort. She said she had my Nan with her who spoke about a situation and said "your nan says, good on you girl". My Nan would never say anything like that.

However, she then went on to say I would be moving house in April. At that point we had no plans or finances to move until 2021 but here we are in April and I'm currently packing to move.

*There’s a reason why James Randii’s million dollars remains unclaimed

There's still plenty of money (just over a million dollars iirc) available in supernatural tests around the globe. Oddly none of those prizes have ever been claimed either.

It's total bull.

Went to one when I was 19 but only because I got dragged along by friends. He said I was hard to read because I wasn't opening myself up (so getting the excuses in early). He said there had been a bereavement in the family, which was true, but also that I'd have three sons by 30. I'm past 30 and don't have any kids.

If you think about it logically its clearly nonsense.

But you’re soon going to be told there’s a perfectly logical explanation for how that medium knew so much about you, and your mum. Perish the thought the woman was actually psychic.

Yes you probably will, because to say otherwise would be to condone psychics’ manipulative delusions and lies.

Believers in the paranormal are never going to convince non-believers that the paranormal exists. So in the interest of everyone concerned, let's agree to disagree.

Exactly, for some reason though it seems to annoy the non believers, why do they even care? Besides that why try to shatter something that might bring great comfort to people. Just leave them be, they're doing no harm.

Just leave them be, they're doing no harm.

Nonsense. There is plenty of evidence of mediums and those who claim to be mediums doing serious harm, including using this as a front for criminal activity.
