I saw a show that demonstrated how this guy pulls it off. They have a list of who has tickets ahead of time. Once they have a name and address it is pretty easy to get a bunch of info. They have even gone so far as to have a female staffer have a "car breakdown" in front of the future audience member's home, and go in and ask to use the phone. While waiting for the "tow truck" the staffer engages the "victim" in seemingly innocent chit chat. If the staffer is likeable and non threatening, which of course they are, people will innocently divulge all kinds of info.
 
Nah, I don't trust them...

You heard about the short psychic who was in prison for fraud but escaped?

She's a small medium at large!
 
a psychic is one who sees the past ....present and future......and a medium is one that is a go between with you and people who are deceased......I guess this is how it goes

I can believe it! That is kind of discouraging, though. It's easy to want to believe in this kind of stuff. I think the guy I used to watch is John Edwards. I guess he's not on anymore.

Yup...that's the guy the show was about. Maybe that is why we don't see him all the time any more. Either that, or he is off spending the money he made duping people.

I think it is perfectly natural to want to belive this stuff. We lose people and want to believe we can maintain contact with them.

He was kind of good-looking with hypnotic blue eyes. I'm sure that helped a lot too.

Didn't the people ever get their money back from Dionne Warwick (sp)? Wasn't she some type of dial-up psychic?:jester:
 
What happened when you went to the medium???? Inquiring minds want to know ;)
 
okey I was shook up and no one knew her or she did not know us.....she was very professional and easy going......she came in and told us what she does and then did a little prayer to her spirit guides and the angels there.......she started right in and mentioned some man and immediately someone there was talking.......then about a half hour later she mentioned a person whose beginning initials were cha and she kept on saying that......well finally I got enough courage to say that is for me......and it was about my nephew chad.....who died ten years ago in a roll over car accident ....I thought this is a bunch of bull but she said......I feel something heavy on my chest and something in my throat.....well that started the tears in my eyes coming down....I loved my dear nephew so much and he was only 21 when he died....the heavy item on his chest was the car and his face was in about six inches of water and he basically drowned .......he then told his guide to tell me that he didnt' feel a thing.....and then said that they girls up there were something else.....made me laugh...he did say to tell everyone he was sorry about the argument......this is why he was in the first car and his sisters and fiance were in the second car.....that made the tears flow ........then she said......he and his dad butted heads alot.....and that his father still is agonizing over this........so then it got to be someone elses turn and then we had a break.....after the break we went back in and she mentioned simone and I thought that my neighbor would fall off her chair....simone is the previous owner of the house and died there....she watches over the house so not to worry and so does arthur....well that did it.....this is for real .....about another half hour and she is still doing peoples visitors ...and she says outloud......JASMINE......well now I just about fell off the chair......that was my dalmatian.....she looked at me and said....she still hates cats you know.....and says to kiss my mama....that is me.......well this really made me cry.....and then the medium told me taht jasmine said we haven't let go of her yet......and that is the truth......it was very intersting evening......and this woman did not know any of us or us knowing her......
 
that is very cool pumba! I would love to do this.
 
:earseek: Wow.... I do think some people have a "gift." I've never been to one or plan to seek one out, but *wow*...
 
I've been to about 5 different mediums.

We live about 50 miles from a place called Lilydale. It's in Cassadaga, New York. They probably have a website. It claims to be the worlds largest gathering place of Spiritualist mediums. I would estimate around 40 mediums live in the cottages there in the summer months. It is a peaceful community with swans swimming in the lake. I always feel relaxed when we go, even if I'm not having a reading.

The thing I have found is, some mediums are much more talented than others. I have never had bad news given to me. Mostly things from my past come up, like from my childhood. Some things in the present too. I believe some are fakes. But I also believe some do contact spirits. You would have to try it to see for yourself. But you have to go with an open mind.
 
I've been to several and it's amazing how right they can be. A lot of them are charlatan's but there are those who truly have a gift.

I read tarot cards, palms, and tea leaves for fun :) My Great-Grandmother taught me when I was little.

I live about 15 minutes from here--- I have seen a few mediums and psychics. Anyhow- I have seen one at Lilydale that was incredible. I had no appointment, just walked up, so there is no way she could researched me or anything.

Anyhow, she was a very old and frail women-- she didn't want me to talk. I was alittle freaked out- but she kept holding and rubbing my hands. Then she began writing all sorts of "phrases on paper". Anyhow--she was so accurate. She gave me the paper which had names and incidents written down on it. She then went on to explain these things. I was alittle freaked out by just how correct she was. Not only did she give me complete first names, but she also would give that person's relationship to me. I didn't speak more than 10 words to this women when she came up w/ all this.

She told me my DH's grandmother (she mostly raised him) was there w/ us-- and keeping an eye on him. She told me that he was going to require more surgery on his leg-- she kept stressing his leg not his knee. I kept thinking it really meant his knee He had been in a car accident the year before and was set to have knee surgery in a few weeks. Anyhow, 6 months later he had to have bone grafting to his leg because the bones that didn't heal were "dying". This was unplanned.

She seen me "changing jobs". I didn't see this at all-- as I was happy in my job and had been there for 5 years. 8 weeks later-- I changed jobs unexpectedly. I got an offer I couldn't refuse from another physician and went to work for her.

She told me about the 3 children I had lost in 2 miscarriages-- One was a set of twins. She couldn't of known about these!! She also told me I was going to have more children. However, it would be after some "health issues" and in the end I'd be okay and then have more children. Anyhow, I had been struggling w/ secondary infertility for several years at this point. Taking many infertility drugs-- then I had a bad pap smear. After biopsies I was told that it was carcinoma in situ-- basically cancer cells that are very "young" and non-aggressive. So, it was caught way early and I had surgery to remove 50% of my cervix. This was 2 years ago. I was told I can still have kids, but it will be high risk, due to an incompetent cervix. I still have pap smears every few months but it appears as though all the bad cells are gone. Anyhow, I still haven't gotten pregnant-- but she told me it was going to be about 3 years. So, we'll have to see. As this is the only thing she told me that didn't happen.

She told me about us moving-- we weren't looking too and we did about 6 months later. She told me so many things that were really far fetched and they all came true so far--- so we'll see. She did tell me my sister was going to be pregnant again---she had just had a miscarriage that week. The psychic said she'd be pg that month. Didn't seem really possible-- it happened!! She also mentioned I'd hurt my back lifting boxes. I never had a back problem in my life-- until a year after that. I was lifting boxes in my basement and I slipped a disc.

I haven't been back as I'm afraid they'll "see" something bad-- so I haven't gotten the nerve up to go again.
