To ask has anyone had a ‘medium reading’ done that’s actually been pretty accurate?

Ok ok let me start by saying, my logical side of my head says ‘of course it’s not true, these are very clever people who take money from vulnerable people and are extremely well at picking up on things they’re saying’
I had one done last year, a moment of madness but I was feeling pretty crap at the time and I can only say I was desperate for some sort of peace.
This could all be a genuine coincidence, I absolutely get that but I’m just wondering has anyone else had a reading done where things they ‘predicted’ have happened?

Firstly I was told I would be moving residence very soon and I’d be a lot happier there- I thought absolutely not, I’ve not been in this property long and intend to stay at least 5 years as my landlord wanted a long letting.. one month later I got my notice from my landlord saying he needed the property back- I moved a month later and I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my new home..

She also asked me had my daughter been tested for autism and that she would be diagnosed and get the help she needs- weird thing to ask right? Funnily enough she was already being referred for this and I had my suspicions for months (absolutely nothing I would ever ever put on any social media so pure good guessing I suppose?)

She also told me to be careful with my purse, that I would lose it though not a massive amount of money. Guess who’s purse has gone missing this week? Yep, mine.

Also mentioned my partner (who I’ve been broken up with and having a terrible time with) had suffered a massive lose and was t himself- this is true, his friend committed suicide the year before.

All a big coincidence? Most likely, however I’m interested to see if anyone else had any experience with this?

I was told I’d have two boys and a girl. Absolutely bang on! So long as she meant cats.

If anyone wouldn't mind sharing who they've been to see, please do PM me. Have lost someone recently and have discovered a family secret

TooManyPaws · 05/01/2020 14:32

I went to one recommended by a work colleague about a year after my parents died. I don't remember much but one weird thing really stood out. She seemed very puzzled and said that she had an older man who seemed very annoyed about door handles: "just get the bloody things done!" etc. She had no way of knowing that I'd had the wardrobe doors in my new house replaced but the workman was really dragging his feet about finishing them by fitting the door handles. It sounded just like my father who was short tempered, easily annoyed and used 'bloody' all the time. I told the guy, he fitted the door handles, and said he'd never been nagged by a ghost before!

Really random.

transformandriseup · 05/01/2020 14:40

I've been to one who was extremely actuate and named names of family members and told me about specific things which would happen over the next few weeks that weren't planned.

Zaphodsotherhead · 05/01/2020 14:41

Confirmation bias. You tend to remember the 'hits' but forget the stuff that was totally wrong.

I'm another one who's quite good at reading people. I also have a very good memory for people telling me things. So a daughter will tell me something about her mum and several months later I will ask the mum about it. Cue total astonishment from mum (who never told me about it) and daughter (who will swear blind she never told anyone). People forget stuff very very easily.

@ParkheadParadise do you mind sharing who you saw/are seeing?

I went to a fortune teller at the seaside for a laugh, the things she told her all came true. She told me that I would be having a new car that would be gold, when I got home there was a letter waiting for me telling me my disability benefit was being stopped & my mobility car taken off me, my parents bought me a banger to get around in, it was gold. She told me that I was going to be ill & would need an operation, 5 days later I collapsed in pain & had to go to hospital, I had to have an operation to remove an ovarian cyst. She told my partner that he had an addiction that if he wasn't careful would kill him, she could take the pain away for now but she couldn't keep it away forever, he passed away four years later from alcoholism, she also said that he had a talent that he had wasted & he should work harder to get his talent back, he was a professional snooker player but had dropped off the professional tour, 3 years later he managed to qualify to get back on the tour. I had never been to anything like a fortune teller before but everything she told me came true, she told me a lot more things than these. I went back to see her a year later & she told me some of the same things again plus some new things which again have come true.

Another post
Mum, her sister and 2 cousins went in the early 1950's to see a medium. In the November. It was illegal then and the lady had not long come out of prison.

Before she went grandma asked my mum to ask this person when the money from auntie guerty was coming.( Auntie guerty had died 6 months before).

Mum went in and was told the usual stuff, getting married having children etc. As mum was going out of the room the lady said to mum ' are you not going to ask me the question' so mum asked what grandma had asked and she told mum it was to be there before mum got married and it would be a Wednesday.
Mum got married the next April and the money came on the Wednesday.

Mums sister and 1 cousin had a weak reading nothing to get excited about.

The other cousin went in opened her hand and the woman asked her to leave in fact she got quite aggressive, pushing her out wouldn't touch her money.
This was my aunt hazel (never met her). 6 months later aunt hazel was arrested for murder of her baby. No one even knew she was pregnant.
She committed suicide while in prison.

@Nishky - Yes!

Oh God, you arent one of my friends are you?😂😂😂

@nomdunchien
I'm in Glasgow, are you near there.

Nishky · 05/01/2020 15:27

@Toooldtobearsed2 that would be funny. I saw him and I only know one other person who did as well, so the chances of you being that person must be pretty slim.

I think it was late 80’s to mid 90’s when I saw him

Toooldtobearsed2 · 05/01/2020 15:31

@Nishky I saw him in 1986, so it was the right time! I must have given an excellent description if him 🤣

Was he good for you too?

AutumnRose1 · 05/01/2020 15:45

tbh one of the reasons I want to see one is that...

the lady I saw 20+ years ago, my dad had been diagnosed with something very serious and was not expected to live long. She told me it was absolute bollocks, he would live appx another 20 years in good health and that I should not base any of my decisions on the medical outlook.

she was right. he lived another 19 years in good health. And I did, stupidly, turn down work in New York and other exciting things because of his diagnosis.

If I could now find someone who could tell me how long my mum would live, it would have a massive impact on how I planned the next couple of years of my life.

ParkheadParadise · 05/01/2020 15:50

@AutumnRose1
Would you really want to know that?
My dd left my house told me she would see me tomorrow she never returned.

Stampy84 · 05/01/2020 15:50

I’ve just text the girl who also has a reading done with the same women, to see if anything has happened for her, and it has!?

OP posts:
Londongirl86 · 05/01/2020 15:50

I had one done when I was pregnant. She said I was carrying a girl and the date 19th was significant. She said my baby would be born linked to number 6. She will weigh 7lb 6oz. My labour would be around 7 hours and I'd go on to have a boy within 2.5 years of her birth.

I had my daughter on the 19th feb, 7 hour labour, 7lb 9oz at 6.30.

2 years later I found out I was pregnant and had a boy!

Stampy84 · 05/01/2020 15:51

Anyway if it’s true or not, it’s made me a lot more positive about things in my life so I’ll take that!

I would love to see what someone would say. But the effect I have on them usually involves taking one look at me and the word No

Londongirl86 · 05/01/2020 16:09

I know. I dunno i think there are bad liars out there and maybe some gifted. It depends what you believe. I'm not religious at all. I don't believe in God or heaven. But weirdly maybe I believe your spirit goes on. Or at least I like to think it does.

I sometimes have dreams that alter things and I think that's a sign.

My grandma died when I was ten. When I was pregnant I had morning sickness and felt sorry for myself after a month of nausea and exhaustion. I was 9 weeks and a few days when I had a dream about my grandma.

It sounds funny but she ran me a bath and poured imperial leather bubbles in . Then in this this dream I got in. The next day I work up with no nausea and was able to clean up abit. I remember smiling and thinking life will get better soon. Probably just a dream but maybe it was Grandma lol xx

Iamatwatofthehighest · 05/01/2020 16:10

N/C. Sorry for length but wanted to get this out somewhere. Too embarassed to tell anyone in RL.

I got totally addicted to readings last year. I was seriously depressed after the death of my best friend and got completely love bombed by what I thought was a friend who was a lot younger than me.

He was in what he said was a controlling relationship so I kept him at arms length but was having these readings which were telling me he was my soulmate and I felt such a strong connection with him and if i'm honest, I desperately wanted that to be true.

This reader picked up so many specifics and predicted so many things that did happen that I was blown away. Loads of things came true.Told me this guy would leave his GF and get a flat with a B in the name of the road which happened and he took me there to see it and it was very 'bare bones' but now he was single we got into a relationship.

The readers accuracy also meant I ignored tonnes of red flags but as the reader often had predicted these events which I didn't believe at the time (such as seeing him shouting at me which I didn't believe would happen, then coming back to apologise and breaking down) but he saw a happy relationship in the end, I ignored them and I ignored early signs of abuse. I had been so lonely, isolated and bereaved and it felt like this guy was the only positive in my life so I turned a blind eye to a lot as had been warned by the reader it wouldn't be easy but would ultimately work out.

One night he came round drunk (a red flag i'd been ignoring) and kept calling me by another womans name, not even his ex-GFs. I obviously asked about her and suspected he was cheating and told him as such. He said it was someone from work he'd had to talk about a lot that day and as he was drunk, it slipped out. When I called the reader he said 'a A name? which it was, and he said 'thats just someone from work, nothing happening between them' so I apologised to the guy. Reader also said the guy would have another verbal outburst but was just pushing me away due to his abusive childhood (true but not mentioned by me).

So a few days before Christmas there was another outburst, quite a vile one with then lots of abusive texts. I was replying that his behaviour was unacceptable but he was pushing me away and I loved him bla bla bla.

Then he ended up telling me he had been sleeping with A and she is pregnant and that's who he is really in love with. Had also never left his partner, the flat was a friends. I didn't believe it and the reader said it wasn't true.

I then had it confirmed and stupidly sent some texts to the guy saying how heartbroken I was. This triggered a couple of days of lovely stuff such as me being a desperate old bag who'd been kidding myself to believe he'd be in love with me. I was a cunt, he had to force himself to have sex with me because I was so old. I was pathetic, sick, a head fuck, stupid and on and on. Ended with some threats to physically harm me if I didn't stop 'messing with his head trying to say he led me on when I was thick to have ever believed he wanted me'. I was suicidal on Xmas eve alone in my flat, knowing he was with his GF and also had a baby on the way with someone else. Something that won't happen for me at my age now. I felt exactly like what he'd said, a desperate old bag who'd been deluding myself. I've never felt so low plus was sitting in the dark as was scared he'd come round to hurt me or just to tell me more about what a sad, old embarassment I am. Plus sick at the thought I believed i'd finally found love and no, another lonely Christmas with even the nice memories of him and the feeling of being in love for a few months taken away as it had all been bullshit lies.

Went back to the reader to ask just HOW I could have been so wrong about this guy and how 'spirit' or 'my guides' or whatever could have been so wrong? He persisted in the soulmate story, says he doesn't love either of the other women and will want to apologise and get back with me. That's very possible as it's what abusive men do, but that would be really dangerous advice to give to someone because i'll ignore him or tell him no but another woman may not, believing in the happy ending and ending up in a seriously abusive relationship.

I'm SO embarassed. Both for paying this guy to tell me what was mostly nonsense and for ignoring all my own instincts about this guy.

Walked into a pub once and they had an evening in there, i didnt even know it was on.

Sat down opposite her and she straight away said she had my mum with her.
I was 26 so not a high chance my mum would be passed...

She said loads some at the time where i thought wow.
Some things i laughed at, but have since come true...

Things that there is noway she would of known.

I didnt book, i didnt give a name. I literally sat myself down in front of her
