Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 My great aunt reckoned she was clairvoyant and a medium. Haven't heard a f*cking peep out of her since she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they will play a game of 20 questions with you. 3) Ask them why he/she hasn't won the lottery. 4) If you really have to go, what ever you do don't give them any money as it is fraud!

JackFrost Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 They'll give you a load of barnum statements such as "I sense that you are sometimes insecure, especially with people you don't know very well." or "You are a very kind and considerate person, but when somebody does something to break your trust, you feel deep-seated anger" Are you actually paying money for it?

Lighthouse Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 If you want proof of its bullsh*ttiness, just make up a dead relative you want to communicate with. Before you know it, they will be telling you ficticious uncle Ray is at peace and he wants you not to worry about money. I think South Park did a very funny spoof of an American 'medium' called John Edward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 (edited) I had an assistant once who got involved with a clairvoyant,the poor girl's husband had run off with a washerwoman or something like that and she was sort of desperate to get him back.When the usual ringing up and going round proved to no avail she sought psychic help. This involved burying chicken bones in his driveway and loads of other weird stuff. She used to tell us all about it at coffee breaks and the poor girl really took some ragging. What she didn't ever mention was just how much this medium was charging her for all these magical husband recovering cures,although she was by no means poorly paid it took all he salary for a few months on end, in the end she stole some cheques out of a colleagues handbag and we had to sack her. So the tale of this is be careful of psychics,mediums and witch doctors of all ilks, they'll tell you what you want to hear as long as you keep paying. Just to prove that it's not only idiots who get taken in, this girl had a doctorate from the Sorbonne.

I think it's about people being highly suggestible and afraid of death. People don't want to believe that this is it, so they cling to ideas like religion and clairvoyancy.

farawaysaint Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 Cold reading is a simple tactic that they use to f with your mind. It's easy enough and I've used it a few times as a party trick, you'd be amazed at how a few general statements can make you seem like some sort of insightful guru.

Although in this case I don't think fear of death came into it, she couldn't accept that her rival was a better sh*g than she was and that was all her ex was interested in.This must have been in about 94/95 because at the time Celine Dion's "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" was a "tube" as they say here. It was all so coincidental because this was the exact same scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 If I were a genuine clairvoyant then I wouldn't waste that talent on sideshows like readings. I'd steal your credit card details and pin numbers. Or I'd use it to be legitmately successful. Of course there may be genuine clairvoyants around and that's why we don't know about them. Personally I can't see how it can possibly true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. When I was a lot, lot younger, I visited one who had no idea who I was or had any details about me (and I didn't visit with a friend, so there was little chance them discovering anything about me) yet for some reason, they seemed to be able to pluck out the most obscurest little facts about me, some things which only I and maybe a few people knew. Bizarre stuff, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaford Saint Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 I haven't been to a clairvoyant for over 30 years but years ago when I ended my first long term relationship I went to said lady clairvoyant and she was brilliant. Not everything she said came to pass but an awful lot has done. I recall when I saw her having already put in an offer on a house in Southampton that she said could see me living north of Winchester. I ended up buying a house 6 months later in Whitchurch. Loads of other stuff also came to pass. A lovely lady she was too, she was in her 70's then. She was the wife of a Greek Orthodox priest. I guess I was lucky that I went to a real clairvoyant. I reckon that you get as much information that you need and if you are desperately unhappy, you are more likely to be given information that will comfort you. The happier you are the less benefit you have in going. I took quite a few people (unhappy ladies ) to see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
