Tell us about an amazingly accurate reading. Medium, tarot etc

[Bayroot1]

Mine was knowing very specific details and names that were very unusual. Also told me about adult dcs future work. Again specific. This particular reader is so hard to get an appointment with so doubt I'll get in again? All came true.

Has anyone else had a great reading?

@CopperTray how odd? Glad you got away though.

I had an early miscarriage back in the day many years ago. Despite being a very early loss I named the baby in my head and told nobody. Not even the father. Not a single soul. I grieved alone as it wasn’t something you talked about then. You just got on with it.

Fast forward multiple decades and a medium told me there was a woman who looked like me on the other side saying hello and suggested that my mum must have lost my sister and this was her.

I told the medium that no my mum didnt lose any babies as she and I were close and she’d have told me. So I have no idea who that is. Sceptically (as I was thinking of leaving this charlatan), I asked for a name of this mystery woman.

She said the name. Just one name. No faffing about. No giving initials. Nope straight to the one name.

I didn’t recognise the name. Told her that. No aunts of that name either.

But then wait….It was the name of my deceased child. The child I hadn’t thought about in many many years. Someone who would potentially look exactly like me.

What's the chances of that? To calculate the odds, you’d have to think of all the names in the English language, to one. That’s a lot.

I am not misremembering. I was not thinking about that name prior. I was not expecting to hear from my dead baby who died over 30 years prior. Nobody could have read my mind. Even the medium got the relationship a bit wrong. Nobody knew the name. Not one single person.

And another weird thing happened. I told my mum this story only in the last few years. And she froze and told me that my dad had a baby sister who died in childhood.
It was never talked about. She doesn’t even know where the grave is.
Guess the name.

Yup. Same name as my dead child.

And this baby died on my exact birthday (different year obv before I was born). Bizarre.

So I named my miscarried baby the same name as a dead aunt i never knew who died on my birthday 30 years or something before I was born.

spooky or what. Tell me you've not got chills lol.
( I must look up the years and see if it’s the same years gap)

the name isn’t a family name btw. Unlike some other names that pop up each generation. It’s a one off. Well I thought it was…….

And another one…. A different medium said there was someone there who was my daughter.

I, sceptically, asked the name. He said a different name. I was about to say no but before I could speak he went on to say it was a shortened version of the name I had given her as she preferred it.

Think like the name he said was Beth and I didn’t recognise it as my child was Elizabeth. Until he said that and I realised.

So he got it right too but again there was a twist that I hadn’t thought of.

I was told:

Your DH is having an affair

With a woman who lives in a house on the <main road leading out of the town you live in>

House is set on a sloping lawn with <description of the outside of the house>

She drives past your house every Sat morning

All turned out to be true.

@TalulahJP wow did you get comfort?

@Rhaidimiddim am so sorry he did that to you. Did her telling you make you investigate?

I went for a tarot reading in a touristy place abroad associated with that kind of thing, and purely for a laugh/ because another attraction we’d visited gave us a money off voucher.

Within seconds of walking in she said ‘oh you’re a teacher I think’ (to be fair, I’ve been told I look like a teacher before so maybe not a huge leap!)

We did the cards and she:

• described fairly accurately what happened with the end of my long term relationship. Mentioned some details that were fairly specific - him wearing a uniform, the (not particularly common) colour of his car, and something specific about our address where we lived together.
• got the number and sex of my siblings correct
• told me that someone close to me was ill and said where in the body. I didn’t think she was right at the time but a month later we received a pretty devastating and terminal diagnosis for my mum, which was in the place she said.

Nothing she predicted for the future was right though!

I was pretty conscious not to say anything much, had walked in from the street and not given a name or anything in advance (or at all I don’t think).

I genuinely don’t believe and it was something I did for fun/ the experience - which it was until the illness stuff, which of course could be pure coincidence but definitely freaked me out - everything felt a bit dark after that, even before I knew about my mum’s illness.

I’ve got a friend who deeply believes in this stuff and have attended a fair few events or gone to private readings and they’ve all been a load of shite with barely anything accurate apart from the most obvious/ generic stuff. I’m not saying I believe the reading described above was ‘psychic’ but it was way more accurate than anything else I’ve experienced.

I went with my mum many, many years ago to a medium who was having an open session. I wasn't a great believer... The lady was blind, and she told me that my nan has been watching me sort the kitchen cupboards. She wants you to know you're doing a great job.. you are doing the right thing,and she's proud of you.. She then asked to speak to me after wards. When we were one on one, she said your nan was watching you sort the tupperware yesterday,putting the lids on, sat in front of the kitchen cupboards .. She says you're right to leave him, he hits you, and then the medium told me where I'd been hiding money to save up to leave, and how much I had. I hadn't even told my mum my plans. The medium said your nan says it enough money and everything will be OK for you.. It was so spot on,and gave me the final push and courage to end it very soon after...

@LemonSqueezy0 I'm glad nan helped you. I'm sorry you experienced dv 💐

I saw one once who said my dead aunt x was speaking to her. I said she must be mistaken as my aunt x was still alive. She insisted this was definitely aunt x and to ask my parents. I asked my mum and it turned out my dad had a sister who died when they were vey young, called x. I never knew this.

some will say it was just a lucky guess but I don't believe anyone can randomly guess the name of a specific relative. I mean what are the chances of getting it right when there must be millions of names on the planet.

@LlamaNoDrama must have been strange when she said it? It's the best evidence when they tell you something that needs verifying.

I went to one in the early 2000s simply to waste the money on a new experience. I was alone. He invited me into the room by my first name, which he could not have known. I walked in off the street, my name was on nothing. Sometimes they bug the waiting room, but I hadn’t said anything or even opened my bag. In the session itself, he mentioned a very specific transformative thing about my childhood and he got the date right. Nothing about the future really, more the now. I, as a skeptic, was stunned. However I went back a few years later and he was bullshit. Total cold reading.

I went to see a tarot reader, who told me I had no significant man in my life.
At the time, my best friend was a man, and we remained close for many years, I was living with another male friend who I stayed close to until he married, and a new boyfriend.
So at the time my thoughts were that it was all a load of old cobblers, and now that I’ve been married to said new boyfriend for over 40 years I’m convinced it was.

I suppose i did ask for amazing. They sound amazingly bad 🤣

I've only ever seen one - at Brighton pier on my hen do. He rather depressingly told me my marriage would go wrong and, broadly, why. He was correct but I suspect anyone could've done it with cold reading.

I don't believe in anything like this but often end up reading these threads because a part of me wants there to be some source of universal, yet impossibly detailed, knowledge of all things!

However, I really hope we don't float around after death as some sort of disembodied personality, watching distant relatives go about their lives, occasionally delivering cryptic messages to mediums. It sounds like a crap existence - and what happens when all your distant relatives and their descendants have died? Does anybody ever get 'messages' like this from their Early European Hunter-Gatherer ancestors?

Chat gpt give ya burthday time of birth etc its amazing also go on your transits copy and paste into chat gpt again very accurate

A family member went to see a medium last year just for fun and was given some incredibly accurate information about a baby boy born too soon who was buried on a hill in the snow, a name was given too. Another family member had recently had a very premature baby boy who had the same name and very sadly didn't make it. He is buried in a cemetery on a steep hill and there was snow on the ground at his funeral. Only a handful of very close family members know this, his parents didn't put anything on social media - there was no way the medium could have known this, so I believe they were relaying a message they had been given.

But as a Christian, I question where that message came from. The bible says that when we die we are asleep, waiting for Chris to come again and I don't believe sleeping souls are going around giving out messages. The bible also says that satan can disguise himself as an angel of light to trick us.
It's my personal belief that the majority of psychics and mediums are charlatans and frauds but in a small number of cases there are other forces at work that really shouldn't be meddled with.

@NannyR, does the baby have a grave marker, and was his passing mentioned online or in the church records? Undertakers often post funeral notices on their memorial pages.

There wasn't a church service or anything online about his death. He has a small stone with his name and dates on, nothing else and he has a different surname to the family member who went to the medium - there is nothing to link the baby to her. I really wish the medium was a fraud who was doing a cold reading, but I can't see how he found out this information.

I'm a skeptic but ive seen a clairvoyant who has given readings to people i know with such accuracy it makes you wonder - down to their name, character, how they died, events that happened, number of photos they have of them in their house.

You’ve just blown my teeny tiny mind. And before my first coffee of the day.

I was chatting to a bloke in a pub once who went to psychic fairs & dabbled in all that. Id had a couple of wines and said I'd give him a reading, held his watch & told him he came from a big family, poor but well fed & happy, they lived in an old terraced cottage in Shepherds Bush and accurately named his 3 sisters who had old fashioned type English names. He was quite stunned. Said I should follow up on it but I never did, maybe he was making it up & I got it wrong. I did a reading for a friend & said her husband was having an affair, he was & they broke up. Also another friend gave me some keys & asked me to do a reading, I said all I could see were purple gladiolas and blue velvet curtains. They were his friend's spare keys who had died in a car accident & he showed me his diary entry to order these specific flowers for the funeral as purple was his favourite colour & the chapel of rest had blue velvet curtains. I remember This Morning tv show did a national psychic test to name a capital city, colour & shape. The reveal the next day was Paris, yellow and triangle which I got spot on. Also told a deemed infertile family member she would have a boy and she did. These are my only psychic experiences, maybe I'm a clever guesser or maybe not. Who knows? I've never been to a medium apart from the spiritualist society in Belgravia but found it too hilarious & had to leave, made worse when my believer friend admonished me not to mock the spirits.

1,318 UK adults took part in a geography poll. The average respondent could only name 4 correct capital cities. The most commonly known capital cities, according to the poll, were London (England), Cardiff (Wales), Rome (Italy) and Paris (France).

Too difficult to find out what colours we pick, or shapes. Google thinks I want to know about car colours, hair colours, interior decorating or racism!

If Derren Brown were running that quiz, he'd have dropped Paris, yellow and triangles into his chat and there'd have been hints in the lobby and the car park 😄

Glad the spirits didn't shove you under the next bus, @CherryRipe1

It's funny that people on here claim they went to a medium who was unassuming and not in it for the wrong reasons and they knew things they couldn't have known and were astonishing.

And then in test conditions, TV programmes and so on, they have never, ever found any evidence whatsoever and people like Derren Brown have shown how it's actually done.

A friend of mine swears her medium is genuine, knows things she can't and so on. I went with her once and watched. It was just cold calling and my friend wants to believe it.

Yes it did. I also started seeing things out of the corner of my eye after that. And weird stuff happens. But it’s all good.

But like another poster said, having ghosts of family hanging around contradicts what we are told the bible says about spirits, and that she must therefore be something from the devil sent to trick me, but I don’t think so.

The bible said a lot of things about many subjects that apparently later got changed or while books left out (allegedly because the pope of the day didnt like women etc) so I wonder if other things have been changed or even mistranslated too.

The are definitely a lot of mediums that are charlatans out there. And you get good mediums and bad ones, just like tradespeople, hairdressers, counsellors etc. Some people just arent good at what they do. No doubt about it. And that spoils it for those who really do have a gift, and that spoils it for the rest. But there are some things that just cannot be explained. And I think my story is one of them.

So I am a firm believer.

It sounds like you have a real gift to be that accurate. I’d be wanting to do more and get feedback on how good I was to see if I could do a few readings for charity or whatever. You should absolutely follow that up. Defo not just lucky guesses there. Too specific.
