I saw one last night at a girls night out. She was not intimidating at all, I’ve never been to one before. I’d say 95% of what she said didn’t impress me. Everyone has all human feelings or problems with people at one time or another. But she nailed one thing going on in my life without me guiding her, or even mentioning the issue. It was a little eye opening. So now I’m wondering if these things have some credibility. Like I said most of it I toss away…but that one thing…
I don’t want to say what it was in case there are lurkers who know me that would figure out who I am. But she also told me what the resolution would be, too. So that was interesting.
I have seen a psychic twice. Once, when I wasn’t dating anyone, a psychic told me that within the year I would have a blonde haired blue eyed baby boy. My blue-eyed, strawberry blonde son was born 11 months later. Then, at a moms night out, years later, a psychic told me my husband was cheating on me. I was upset and when I went home and told my husband about it, he denied it. I found out a year later it was true and had been ongoing at the time the psychic told me. I have been too afraid to go to another psychic since then.
Wow! I always thought a psychic wasn’t to tell bad news. However one of the women there said she saw a different psychic in March or April of this year. She told her that her husband would die within the year! Isn’t that awful?
This was 30 years ago, but several of my friends and I went to Atlantic City for a Bachelorette Party, and the bride-to-be was a devoted fan of psychics, so she wanted us all to go. Of the six of us, 5 got what we considered good news - I was told I would be very lucky that night, and I won $40 at the nickel slots. I recall the bride-to-be was told not to worry about her fiance on his stag party, because they’d have a very good long future together, with much more blessings than sadness. Another in our group, a friend of the bride at work, I didn’t know her well, was not even dating anyone at the time, and was told she’d get married within the year. She met her husband at the wedding the following weekend, and they were married just 5 months later - and they were blessed with a healthy child only 4 months after they got married.
The one friend who had gotten a stern warning - to be careful of her finances that night, and I of course told her that must mean she’s getting the psychic’s bill. But she thought it meant she should not gamble, and so she locked her purse in the car before we went into the hotel casino. But after a few glasses of wine, she convinced me to loan her $10 of my winnings to play the quarter slots, and she won as well, doubling her money. When we got back to the car, her trunk lock was broken, and her purse, with $100 in it - had been emptied.
I don’t believe in anything other than coincidence, but it was certainly a memorable event for all of us.
Yes, a few times (I’m intrigued by paranormal things so…). All bunk.
There have been some interesting ones though.
My mom’s work had a psychic as part of a Halloween party when she was 6 months pregnant. The psychic said I’d be a girl with jet black hair. My mom is blonde and they thought I was a boy… but the psychic was right. Could be a coincidence, of course.
Now here’s the weird one: my aunt and uncle (mom’s brother) went to a psychic for fun near their home in Minnesota. She claimed she saw my grandparents and that my grandma was holding a little baby girl and telling the psychic that everything is ok and that the baby is “home.” My cousin’s wife had just had a stillborn girl a few weeks before.
I don’t know what the context for this was, but somehow my grandpa’s military service came up and she named the very specific town in Italy where my grandpa was in when something happened (I’m blanking now). My uncle told her that wasn’t right and that he was in another town.
He went home and looked through my uncle’s papers and sure enough, she was right.
I do believe that psychic abilities of some sort are real… but I think almost everyone who claims to be one is a liar. I don’t think I’d go to one now on the off chance that they are real. Considering my significant health challenges, I don’t think I really want to know the future.
A psychic told my then boyfriend she’d pray for him to find the right woman. Ugh. I was waiting out of sight, outside. Maybe she meant find me out there, cuz we did get married and stay married and happy.
They have ways of reading people. Like OP, most remember what they did hit.
I figure anyone selling psychic services must be a fraud. Because if anyone had true psychic abilities they wouldn’t be wasting their time running a small time sooth-saying business. Instead they would be out quickly getting rich by cleaning up on the stock market and by investing in specific start-ups and other business ventures that their psychic abilities told them would soon be successful.
In other words, anyone selling their psychic abilities doesn’t have any in the first place.
I did years ago and it was eerily accurate. She said a few things that were so right on, and she’d have no way to know or predict. However, after that it occurred to me, if they are frauds they’re frauds, but if it is real it doesn’t mean it’s coming from a place of good. I’d believe most are just intuitive or say generic enough stuff that could fit most people. After my parents died my sister wanted us to go see the long island medium, or someone like that, but I said no.
funny about post 7. I always felt the same way about people that advise and handle stocks. If the guy at Charles Schwab(for example) is so good, why isn’t he retired, laying on a beach?
Although I can see going to a psychic for entertainment. At 20 or so, I went to one, she said I’d live to 95 and have 6 kids. 6 kids? Sounds horrible! I’m almost 60 now, with one adult son. I don’t expect to have any more kids.
There’s an expose of the LI medium. And comments about how much is edited out, the false guesses, etc.
Recently, someone died from a heart attack. Tyler Henry claimed he had warned him of this, predicted. In fact, the transcript only noted something like, I see a health concern. How vague can you get?
The gal I went to calls herself intuitive. Like I said, most of everything she said could fit anyone at one time or another. She could have gotten lucky on the one thing, who knows.
I am pretty skeptical of the whole thing, but there was one person that quite honestly made me think there is some truth to it here or there. Guy did Tarot cards, and the thing is I know many of the tells of how they can ‘read’ you, by asking specific questions and then giving answers that in reality are generic but seem to be tied to the question,etc so the person says “oh, wow, you know that”.
Without going into details, I asked him once about a job situation, I gave no details to him other than the outline of my question, and his response was pretty specific about what was going on, to detail level that at the time I thought was ‘no way’…and when the issues resolved (had to do with me resigning and the attempts by the company to keep me there), I later found out the backstory of what had happened, and it was almost word for word how the guy said it would unfold, the description of those involved fit to a tee, it was that tight…
He did a general reading on my wife, and he said that he saw an issue she was struggling with and laid out details that were dead spot on…but I am not talking something common, like “oh, you struggle in your role as a mother to balance out the kids needs and your needs” or things like that, it was about something horrible in her background that in fact had just come to light right around this time, and there was no way he could know it, no tell from her that could indicate it, she didn’t mention it in her question, it just came up in her past and what was surrounding her cards, it was really eerie. Like I said, I tend to be skeptical, but he was one person that I think had something. He aso did a reading on my son, who was then around 3 or 4 years old, that was really interesting, a lot of what he said about him has come true in many ways, what path he would take (definitely jumping off the deep end into something many are afraid of doing), his personality and who he would become. That was a bit more generic, obviously, and there self bias could make me interpret what he said almost 20 years ago and say “it came true”, but at the very least it isn’t far from what he (my son) is:)
Never been to see a psychic but I do believe some people have psychic gifts to varying degrees. I can’t just call it intuition because sometimes the knowledge is too specific.
I think most people would not admit to experiences they may have had with paranormal phenomena for fear of ridicule.
I haven’t been to a psychic, but I think my daughter had a couple of psychic episodes when she was very small. She was about 3 years old.
Once, I was laying in bed with her trying to get her to go to sleep for the night and I was thinking about one of my neighbors who gave her husband and sons horrible haircuts. At that moment, my daughter said “Mommy, please don’t cut my hair.”
Another time, I was reading a magazine article about white water river rafting. It was in Outside magazine. We were sitting facing each other and I was holding the magazine up in front of my face so she couldn’t see what I was reading. The mag cover didn’t have any photos of rafting or any type of water sports. My daughter said “I don’t want to go into the river.”
I didn’t listen to her psychic warnings, lol. I gave her haircuts a lot during her life - still do - now she comes to me and tells me when she needs a trim. And we have gone on several rafting trips which she has really enjoyed - she was never scared of water.
She never had any other psychic events - that I know of.
Does anyone remember John Edward? The “Crossing Over” guy. My friend is a huge fan of his, and he was coming to town so she bought us tickets. There were 1,500 people there. We were sitting near the front stage right, and he was doing some “audience reads” - I was listening but not really engaged (my mother had some very strong “vibrational” experiences when she was alive, but I’ve not really researched the subject). Anyway, he (John) starts telling a story, and looking intently stage left, and the story is eerily familiar to me (and not an instance that many would identify with, about a 9-year old child, and an event that had happened 40 years earlier), and then (and I’m not making this up), he stood up, and as he started to move stage left, asking continuously “does this sound like something you can identify with?” and everyone’s just sitting there, no one is “identifying” and suddenly, he turned to his right, and said, “oh that’s pretty funny, I heard “left” but it’s actually over here, on MY right” and literally walked off the stage, and stood right in front of us, and said “here, it’s here” and then continued with details that made my skin crawl, including an exact name and city (bear in mind, my friend and I did not talk about this story on the way to, or at the event). Eventually I nodded my head, and he proceeded to complete the read which was phenomenally accurate, and as I said, honestly, a very unusual story, with very unusual names, and a very unusual city. At the end of the event I was handed a card and invited to meet him. So we did. I hardly said a word and he was super nice and gently sweet. He was still laughing at being told “left” when it was not, and he said to go home and look in my garage, in my “candy box” there, for a confirmation of today’s reading - and that was that. UNTIL…I got home, and my friend asked me if I had a “candy box” in the garage, and I said “nope” - but I did have a “jewelry box” that had memories from when I was in high school. We dug it out, and 2 things nearly made me keel over, 1. inside was a drawing all folded up, from the little boy, which he’d drawn for me, when he was 6 (I didn’t even remember ever seeing it before) and 2. the “jewelry box” (which was a gift to me from the boy’s great aunt) was actually a wooden keepsake candy box from the 1930s!
