Has any 1 had experiences with mediums

Being open to all things makes is much more fun than dismissing them without any solid evidence. You can never say anything is 100% fake or does not exsist unless you are God, which you dont believe in, so I assume thats a No.

Yep, I'm open to the existence of unicorns, Santa, fairies, orcs, fire-breathing dragons and mediums.

Equal evidence for them all.

Are there people claiming to be orcs? interesting..Maybe they played D&D too much. You have to do better than pluck those out for examples, I am really interested how people know 100% that something is not true.

I don't know 100% that any of those things aren't true.  But I'd like to see 1 tiny piece of independent evidence that suggests that any of these things really exist.  Unicorn shit, a dragon skull, Santa's sack, or a medium who can actually give credible 'readings' under controlled test conditions.

Typically, the standard of proof is 95% for these things.
I think they're just saying that it's unreasonable for those who hold those beliefs to hold them for the reasons they give.

Tends to give me the horn.

I repeat - I'm prepared to pay a lot of money to any psychic that can get in touch with my uncle. There is one thing he knows about me that nobody else knows - absolutely, definitively and if any medium/psychic can tell me what that is I shall give them a large pot of money and consider myself instantly converted.

any recommendations?

I did some crazy shit on wigi boards as a kid that lead to some crazy crazy adventures that both opened my eyes  up to stuff I didn't wanna know about.  Personal experiences and life journeys are much more accurate in considering something to have a sniff of merit to them than listing to sceptics disclaims money taking "mediums" who speak to dead relatives. Its akin to saying God doesn't exist as my local vicar was partial to boys, moves us on no further to proof either way.

One of the vids I posted, James randi, has a long standing million dollar pledge to anyone who can prove they have psychic abilities in controlled conditions. Only one person has taken so far I believe in about 20 years (failed obv)

Zero reason for them to do this if they were infact real mediums. $1m bounty is a smoke screen, it would be totally against their beliefs to do it for financial gain and be subjected to ridicule/interrogation. I am 95% sure James randi would know this too.

I am not saying i believe in them myself, its just funny people claim to know its defo lies.

There have been a few of those types of offers around - AFAIK none of them have ever been 'won'.

What beliefs? It's not a religion

beliefs as in knowledge and epistemology; not the biblical sense.

I went to see one years ago for a laugh with a couple of mates at the time that were genuinely into it.

I'd say 75% of the stuff she told me did not come true but there was some really scary shit that did, I mean really specific stuff too that you couldn't make up. I didn't talk to her at all during the interaction, she gave me a note pad to write stuff down and told me to be quiet in case I thought she was extracting info from me through conversation/my reactions.
