Has any 1 had experiences with mediums

[snoopy1239]

I went to one a while back who people had recommended, saying he'd told them things he could never have known, etc.

I went in open-minded, but I don't think he said one single thing that was relevant or made any sense. It became embarrassing after a while.

Just because you don't know how they do it, doesn't make it real. I'm pretty sure Copperfield didn't make the Statue of Liberty disappear.

With regards to the opening post, I expect you let slip you were into poker somehow, or maybe had a reference in the cab and he took a gentle stab and then fed off your response.

Fuk the spoon bending he made all his wedge from telling people where oil reserves were? not sure alot of others can do it..

What?

he has been paid roughly around $100m over the years by oil companies to pin point oil reserves in the ground. I dont care if its true or not that he can find the oil the fact is he is paid to do so

He's been paid $100m.  Really?

Is that the same as when he claimed to have done work for NASA as well?

obv the company would have to keep quiet about it, given that the ceo would be insta-sacked and sued by shareholders for wasting company funds........

Or Geller might be making it up?

He also claimed to be able to change base metals into gold.  Interestingly, he hasn't made a going concern from this alchemy.

If he'd had to sign non disclosure agreements nobody would ever be able to tell how much he'd been paid or by who or how successful he was.

Handily if he was just making it up you'd end up with pretty much the same result.

I flicked onto Britain's Most Haunted one time and saw a guy called Derek Acorah actually become possessed by the spirit of a woman from hundreds of year ago. It was amazing to see. His face became all contorted as he slumped to the floor and then he rose up screaming out like an old shrew. Afterwards he became all exhausted and overwhelmed when the spirit left him. What further proof to people need?

I used to watch him, fuk me he would get right into it..Not sure what to think of him tbh.

Just saw Britains most haunted for first time in my life, enough to put anyone off anything remotely supernatural!!!!

Like ghosts are gonna wanna talk to Yvette Fielding n some dodgy scouser

Yvette Fielding has done well to go from Blue Peter presenter to making millions duping people with her 'supernatural' shows.  She and Acorah have done well for themselves with their nonsense.

As I said in an earlier post, I am open minded about these things but Derek Acorah is just laughable imo.
All that shivering and grimacing while talking in a silly voice just makes me cringe.
Seriously though if people can talk to the dead, (and maybe some people can) why do the dead say such irrelevant
stuff? I mean there are hundreds of important things like where are they? is there a god? can they see/hear us back on earth? But for some reason they seem to find it difficult to relay even their own names properly, or say things like "Check behind the dresser for the missing photo"

[david3103]

In the words of Mr Tim Mfkn Minchin...

.....why do we think it is it OK for people to pretend they can talk to the dead?
Isn't that totally fucked in the head?
Lying to some crying woman whose child has died and telling her you’re in touch with the other side?
I think that’s fundamentally sick
Do we need to clarify here that there’s no such thing as a psychic?

What are we, fucking 2?
Do we actually think that Horton Heard a Who?
Do we still believe that Santa brings us gifts?
That Michael Jackson didn’t had facelifts?
Are we still so stunned by circus tricks that we think that the dead would wanna talk to pricks like John Edwards?
....

.....you should watch Scooby Doo.
That show was so cool because every time there was a church with a ghoul or a ghost in a school
They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The fucking janitor or the dude who ran the waterslide.
Because throughout history every mystery ever solved has turned out to be
Not Magic.

Whole thing here - but the salient points for this specific area of bs are above

Best Minchin I've seen, the man's a genius.

To be honest, Mantis, I think he could have just been play-acting so that it looked like he was possessed/unpossessed, I'd seek better proof than that, with a control condition in an experimental setting. Don't be taken in by them.

[Claw75]

Ah now that Derek's been mentioned I have a good excuse to post this again

edit: better clip without the additional crap

[Claw75]

Not going to watch that video, because I know that it will never match up to the title it's been given.
