Apparently a well known one who is mentioned by a lot of people in the area. Not an area we are local to btw
I'm very sceptical, nay cynical about these things, but bloody hell, the things she told her about our lives was uncanny.
All she knew piorr to the visit was my wife's first name and presumably phone number. Wife doesn't have a social media presence to speak of and she didn't ask her any questions when she got there, just fired in. She didn't sugar coat anything either.
Actually shook my wife up a bit
I bet you didnt see that coming
Its just technique. A clever way of asking open questions. Its a con

11 minutes too late....
Bored are we OP? 🤔😂
Incoming chewkw in 5,4,3,2,1.....
A tiny handful of 'Psychics' might genuinely have some deluded belief that they have a 'gift'. The majority IMO are shysters of the very worst kind because they prey on the gullible, vulnerable, bereaved and ill for financial gain.

oh, I'd wholeheartedly agree. Except she didn't ask her anything to start with. And later on Mrs stayed right lipped as to not give anything
I'm still sceptical, but it was very weird. Not just possible circumstance, very detailed specifics
It's a trick, albeit a sophisticated but fairly well documented one. They're quite practiced at it by now which is why it appears "uncanny," they've been doing it since biblical times.
Wife and I went to see a couple of psychics in Glasto.
Very impressed as they knew too much but i couldn't see where they got the info from.
Just very good at reading people I guess.

I don't really see the problem if it's presented as a harmless parlour trick, any more than any other magician. But if presented as real then it encourages this sort of woolly thinking in its audience, and if they're claiming to be contacting the dearly departed then that's just sick and cruel.
I remember an ex going to see one. She was mental, mid thirties, believed in ghosts etc. Ex, not the medium. She reported the same thing. Uncanny, and I had no answers either beyond thinking that they must’ve somehow researched her beforehand. In my ex’s case, every single event in her life was documented publicly on social media so would have been easy.
Dunno. I suppose you must be pretty susceptible to it if you’ve paid the money - you’re going to want to believe.
Mrs IRC dragged me along to a psychic night. There was a group reading which seemed intended to get people to pony up for paid private readings. The usual "Does anyone know a John?" type questions. The psychic proved his powers by telling a guy with long hair and a Motorhead T-shirt that "I feel music is important in your life".
Isnt it mostly a statistical thing. If your there your there for a reason. In you 30s amd chances are you have lost a grand parent. We all have grand parents, in your 50 and you might have recently lost a parent etc
I was a psychic once, sometime around next November.
I almost had a beautiful psychic girlfriend, she dumped me before we met.
eddiebaby as it's my home town I prefer to call it by it's proper name of Glastonbury 🙄anyway I used to deliver the post in the High Street and one of my customers was a physic ( maybe one you went to ? ) Anyway every morning she used to come out and ask if I had anything for her ? 🤔Always itching to reply if you don't know perhaps you should change your occupation 😁😁😁
I longed to see a poster for a psychic evening with Cancelled due to unforseen circumstances written on top 😁😁😁
My wife wants to try it. Do you need to book ahead?
This reminds me of the time a 5ft tall psychic escaped from jail . Police said they were looking for a small medium at large 😁😁 IGMC 🙄
Sorry oldfart, Glastonbury it shall be henceforth.
The couple were Mr and Mrs Fish.
You're forgiven Eddie 😉 Mr and Mrs Fish you say ? 🤔 NFG I guess 🙄not my customer unless she married Captain Birdseye 😁
"You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive."
"Good heavens Mr Holmes, how on Earth do you know that?"
"Here is a gentleman of a medical type, but with the air of a military man. Clearly an army doctor, then. He has just come from the tropics, for his face is dark, and this is not the natural tint of his skin, for his wrists are fair. He has undergone hardship and sickness, as his haggard face says clearly. His left arm has been injured. He holds it in a stiff and unnatural manner. Where in the tropics could an English army doctor have seen much hardship and got his arm wounded? Clearly in Afghanistan.'"
"You are here because your wife is seeking a divorce."
"How did you know that?"
"You are currently married, as you are wearing a wedding band. You are an overweight middle-aged man who clearly works in an office judging by the softness of your hands. You came here by bicycle, judging by those ridiculous tap dancing shoes and underwear that you are wearing as outerwear. The scars on your shins show that you are a mountain biker who frequently attempts things beyond your skillset. That would be consistent for an elite rider in training or a hamfisted amateur. You are clearly not an elite athlete. Your sunglasses, bag, and phone cost a month's salary for an average person. You are an exemplar of what is known as "All The Gear, No Idea." This category of men try to compensate for their lack of fitness and skills by repeatedly purchasing expensive bicycles and other accessories, then storing them in their garden shed when a more expensive model is released. You appear to have an arthritic wrist, but only on one hand. That shows injury from internet activity rather than from cycling or even typing. Your wife feels neglected and is demanding attention. She is asking for home renovations, possibly a bathroom or kitchen and is asking you to sell a small number of your expensive bicycles to fund this. Your reaction that, "they are like children to me," led her to threaten divorce.
Cheers Rocket dog 👍

Bloody hell, that's uncanny!
For added weirdness, at New Year a friend casually mentioned that she reads Tarot. I would never have guessed she was that way inclined, she's an IT project manager by profession and we've known her and her family for 20 years now. She said that she isn't sure how she does it, she just gets hunches and "feelings" when she does readings. Apparently her grandmother was a Romany and the "gift" has come down the female line.
I don't believe but that kind of thing intrigues me. She refuses to readings for friends, but obviously after knowing each other for 20 years she'd probably know which levers to pull anyway
Proper laffs at some of the comments on this thread! I’m sceptical, I’ve read lots of articles about the subject and the people involved, but I’d like to just pitch up at a reader some distance from where I live with no personal information given beforehand just to see what happens. The psychic would have to determine what my twitter handle is for starters, however, I rarely post on any social media and even just having my name wouldn’t necessarily help, as there’s another person locally who has the same name who’s a year younger than me.
Glastonbury would be my choice, it’s 33 miles away, and I haven’t been there for a few years.
Some great replies 🤣. I'll think of one of the most random and unexplained observations and post it up at some point to get the analysis/piss take 😉
that she reads Tarot
Ive done tarot readings for people before, you fish about abit by mumbling some generic stuff, invariably something will trigger and they will eagerly tell you enough to get the next "fact" and so on. They may not tell you verbally, so watch their body language and face!
Margaret, there's a Margaret here, oh and an Alexander and John.
Funny that, about 40% of my family tree have those names, probably the same for most folks in Scotland.
Shysters.
The psychic proved his powers by telling a guy with long hair and a Motorhead T-shirt that “I feel music is important in your life”.
I think that's brilliant.

No, they wouldn't. That's the whole point of cold reading. They don't need to know anything about you.
"Look into the eyes. No not around the eyes."
“Does anyone know a John?”
Holy shit...I know a John!
John, aside from being a chap's moniker, could also mean:
a male mule
the customer of a house of ill repute
a toilet
John, aside from being a chap’s moniker
I don't know naffin' about no Monica
My ex went to see one on a 1-2-1 basis after her father passed away. She came back stunned at how much the psychic knew without her telling her anything.
The session was recorded.
On playback she had actually told her loads - and that was just audio clues.
