    it does seem to comfort some people who have lost someone they love but it is at a cost.

    once I received a free reading and what I was told about one particular event to happen in the near future and was very specific did come true 100% even though I said this in no way will happen and there was no way to influence the event...but this is psychic ability just like fortune telling not mediumship.

    I remember sally browne yep another fraud who tries to make things fit. :p
    anyone watched derek acora :p
    :cool: Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
    Sometimes age just shows up all by itself ;)

    that count....it's the life in your years :D

    I saw a Derek Acorah clip on Harry Hill once. Derek said, "I have a message coming through from a loved pet..from a dog... from Rusty...he says, "Woof...wooof...wooof, woof". On another ghost hunt show he was wandering round a darken house saying, "Yes...it's coming through now.. Mary loves !!!!!!, Mary loves !!!!!!".

    It's all bs and just a shameless way of preying on the vulnerable and parting them from their money. It is a con and no 'psychic' or medium has ever been able to reproduce their achievements in a properly monitored experiment.

    I know some peopel on here feel their readings have coem true, but it's human nature to make the events fit the predictions and to forget about all the bits that were wrong.

    Of course they are all frauds, why else would they pass up a million dollars?

    Nearer home we have the Sally Morgan debacle and a challenge from a skeptical organisation. If she were genuine the challenge would not be a problem. Of course she refuses.

    You made me look Dave_C, lol. Sally sending in lawyers?

    Wouldn't it be a good idea if these 'psychics' had to pass a test/exam (like the 'challenge' tests - to prove their abilites) before being allowed near vulnerable people? Hey presto - they'd disappear overnight, lol.
