Psychics predictions any truths?

Has anyone had their future told and it’s turned out exactly so? Would love to hear your stories. I’ve had spot on predictions and as much as respect everyone’s right to their own opinion AIBU to secretly wonder (and get frustrated/feel astounded) how someone can say ‘well I don’t believe in them’ after I’ve just told them my experience - especially someone who knows I wouldn’t make it up!

It’s hocus pocus and a way to relieve gullible people of their money

Because if you really scrutinise what you're told you will see it's actually vague and could be completely applicable to anyone. "Psychics" frauds or seriously deluded people cold read people and are very good at it. They prey on vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

For fun I had my fortune read a month before I got pregnant with DD1, knowing that we'd be trying and I wanted to see if the "psychic" would say she saw a pregnancy. She didn't, lots of vague waffle about surprising news and someone hurting me. Surely if she was worth her salt she would have seen the single most important thing was about to happen to me?

I’m hugely into spirituality, communicating with other dimensions, animals, the power of thought and intention etc however psychics are the one area I almost always feel are spiritual bullshitters and feed off vulnerable people.
I believe that whilst our Akashic records may be able to foresee possibilities, lessons we may have to go through, the whole point of us being human beings and not remembering who we really are is so we can create our own destiny.

I was once told at the age of 19 'you will have a military wedding' never thought anymore of it.

3 years later I met a man in a club, who was in the army. Two years later we had a military wedding.

I was told that I would fall in love with a tall thin man who has S in his name and a mother with E in her name. They would both have favourite slippers and have regret about past relationships. The man I fell in love with would have a job and would love it, though occasionally he would get frustrated by management. I was told that as he got older he would lose some of his hair and would sometimes feel a bit self conscious. I was told that he liked wearing jeans and would occasionally go to Robert Dyas but never quite find what he needed. I was told that sometimes he would have a nibble of Stilton if it was sitting in front of him and he’d had a little too much to drink, even though he professed not to like it. I was told he’d have no hair on the back of his legs.

Years ago, I was told I'd have 'three loves or marriages'.
I've lived with three men, in significant relationships. I'm now single, and would like a nice, proper relationship.

I keep hearing her voice, basically saying ' nope, that's your lot'

Even if it ends up being true, I'm not sure I needed to hear that.

I was also told that I was not a good person- that no matter what I had, I wanted more. I'm not like that at all, and I was devastated- I was only 24. I thought he could see into my soul, and see that maybe I was a horrible person.

For what it's worth, I think some people can tune in. but there are alot of opportunists out there.

My mum saw one in her teens and was told she’d have 3 loves who’s names all started with T. My dad was Thomas, my step dad was Tim and her husband is called Liam so she figured 2/3 isn’t bad.

About 6 years ago it came out that her husband is adopted. His birth name was Trevor. She about lost her mind when she told me Grin since she’s spoken about the psychic several times over the years.

I saw one about 6 months after my brother died. She didn’t want to know anything except my first name when I went. She knew I was pregnant, told me to change career and that I should consider speeding up the plans in my head for leaving my husband. There’s no way she could have known anything aside from me being married since I was wearing my ring. I wish I’d taken her advice but it took over a year longer for me to actually leave. She claimed my brother spoke to her as he was watching over me which was nice.

LesleyA · 13/08/2020 22:24

So mine weren’t vague at all. Said I had 3 boys and a step daughter, that I was working part time but studying for the career I loved. Said I wasn’t seeing her for any relationship issues or questions. That I had struggled to have my first child but my second and third cake easily. Said my SD had ADHD. Said I would start my new career in the March of the following year. At the end of Feb that year I was made redundant so started my new career. All this was true.

Wow Annabanana your mums story and yours is so spot on. My cynical husband decided to go just to see and the medium told him that his dad knew that he had remarried and had 3 boys

I didn't really believe in it but it was weird when my mum went. this is really long so I'll try and just list it as quick as possible to read.

Mum turned up randomly on the day with my aunt so woman had no chance to search my mums social media profile beforehand.

My mum had just found out she was pregnant at 40 she's 4ft5 and skinny the woman said she's pregnant with a girl she was.

I'd fell in with a bad crowd and was 16 she told my mum she can see a problem with me(her daughter) and a group of people and a knife was involved and that if she didn't get me away from them she saw danger for me. That was true and we'd just dealt with that as a family.

She told my aunt she was going to become a nan to a boy in 6 months. Her daughter told her the next day she was nearly 4 months pregnant.

She told my mum she's moving house in a few weeks somewhere rural and she will be happy there for a whilst but then move again with my dad somewhere coastal.
My mum had just signed the papers to move to somewhere rurual away from London. Shock now her and my dad are having problems and my mums dream has always been to live down a seaside.

She also knew my aunt had gynaecological problems.

She then said my aunt would start running a pub in a months time. My aunt had been trying to find one for ages she found one a month later.

Lastly she said my aunt would find her Utopia. My aunt died in 2016 of a brain aneurysm. She was never happy alive and really missed her parents.

How she knew all this stuff I don't know but it was really sad and comforting at the same time about the utopia bit. Confused

I was told I would have a new job in September I brushed it off as I was fairly happy in my current job and had no intention of leaving. 1st September I got a phone call completely out of the blue offering me my dream job.

KarmaStar · 13/08/2020 22:45

I've had many readings and messages and some have been vague and pretty much useless whereas many have been spot on.I would say it definitely pays to research a good medium.
