Has any 1 had experiences with mediums

[outragous76]

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?

yep

Urgh, my mum went to see one the other day, ive always thought, and still kind of think, what a load of bs. But a couple of things the woman said/asked my mum were really weird. The medium said to my mum, "your sons had a blip recently and is going to sort it in an unconventional way, hes going to be fine. Ask your son about Mark and Simon" Obv just got made redundant and playing poker for a living now, backed for cash by 2 guys called Mark n Simon, never told my mum or anyone in my family their names, weird

I wasn't going going to get involved in this debate, but...............

I'm pretty sure I've had some kind of 'blip' every year for the last few years.
Unconventional is so generalistic, and open to interpretation.

Can't explain the names, and I think occasional things like that, keep people open minded, when common sense tells them it's much more likely to be BS than not.

I completely agree with what your saying, but just abit weird how they mentioned two names

that's super unlikely to be the whole conversation. she prolly read the names cold - and then your mum confirmed them by generally knowing that two of your poker friends are called mark and simon. later the 'psychic' turns this subjective confirmation into a command >> ask about X and Y as a recap/command rather than that.

at least that's one possibility. it's a bit like when people only remember the times they have aces and lose, not the times they win. memory is selective, so when she said John and James, your mum doesn't remember because they eventually got to Mark and Simon, etc. That's just standard coldreading. If the medium is really good, they could divine the names as well by looking for tiny plosives etc in the lips whilst making your mum think of the name.

How would you explain the fact that Scotland Yard sometimes enlists the help of a medium in murder cases and there has been a degree of success over the years?

Personally, i find believing in mediums almost as ludicrous as believing in a god!

Saying that 3 pretty weird things have happened to me in my life which i can't fully explain using science/common sense.

There are people close to me on the other hand who I deem to be very intelligent who believe in both god and tonnes of spiritual type stuff. It all comes down to those who are capable of having unproven faith and those who aren't imo.

Uri Geller though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the guy can still bend spoons under observation in NASA test facilities.

You tend to find that there are two types who believe in the power of mediums. They are either women or fools and the majority of the time they are both

Patrick Jane says they don't exist and that's good enough for me
