2gillyp, your story fascinates me! And it made me remember an incident in my local grocery store!!! I can’t believe I had forgotten this. The bagger was putting my cat food into a bag and the checker mentioned casually that I must have a lot of cats because I was stocking up (this was before I knew how crappy grocery store pet foods were) I responded that I had 2 cats. The bagger said, “You used to have 3 cats; this was the 3rd cat’s favorite flavor” as she held up one of the cans. I was mildly surprised because I had lost one of my 3 cats a few months before this. I said that I didn’t remember ever mentioning my 3 cats there before and she said that my little white kitty was there by my side at that moment. Chills. Then the checker admonished her and reminded her she had been warned about talking about these things by their manager. I assured them that I was not upset and found it quite fascinating. I asked her to continue. She then told me that my grandmother, who loved cats, had brought the cat to me and was also standing there. More chills. This bagger appears to have some sort of health issue - she has odd features and a great deal of facial hair, quite a beard really. She appears to be a little slow. But seeing this side of her fascinated me and I wanted to continue to talk to her more, but my groceries were loaded in the cart and I needed to leave so she could bag the next person. I didn’t want her getting into trouble because of our conversation. I haven’t shopped in that store in ages. I think I will do a bit of shopping there to see if she still works there. She had been there for many years prior to this encounter. Would it be weird if I approached her? I found our quick conversation to be very reassuring and it gave me incredible peace to think that I might see my relatives and pets again. I’m a bagger too and haven’t done any mediumship at work...yet ☺️ But I have done astrology and sharing synchronistic moments with people before. As for whether you should approach her or not, I would let her come to you. I find the best experience to have these readings is when they are divinely timed ☺️ |

I also believe that some people have this gift but that most mediums are just scammers trying to make a buck.
My DD is a waitress. She waited on someone about 2-3 months ago and this lady told her she was a psychic. She asked my DD if she was having boy problems, she responded with "yes, but aren't most girls my age having boy problems?" Her boyfriend of 2 years had broken up with her about 2 months prior. She then asked my DD if she was having health problems and told her to get a mammogram. I told her 20 year olds don't normally need a mammogram. She's had issues on and off the past 3 years ever since she had mono, passing out, mono, just feeling unwell, but at the time I thought she was in a better place. Then she began to have fluid leaking from her breast. This also happened to her older sister and it turned out to be the anxiety med she was on that younger DD also is on. Gyno did blood work and her prolactin is elevated as expected and her thyroid is really out of whack. Her TSH was slightly elevated 3 years ago but follow up blood work had normal results. I am wondering if the gal she waited on sensed that something was not right with her breast and her general health.

Many many years ago I worked with a group of people that would get together and go to this western bar on Friday nights. Wives, husbands, and significant others were there too. There was one woman who was always in attendance that others said she could read people. She did a few people and the things she said were really quite specific and apparently true to the person she was reading based on their reaction. This was years and years ago, well before the internet was available. She also gave advice to a guy who had been wanting to ask his boss for a raise. She told him at a specific time during their meeting to get up to use the restroom, and that when he returned, his boss would agree to his raise. At our next get together, he said it worked and he got his raise. He thinks the boss made a phone call having to do with him while he was gone because the boss was hanging up when he came back from the bathroom. She said she has always been able to do this, but cannot read her husband or son for some reason. Anyway, about a month after one of our get togethers, one of my coworkers was killed in a fall at work. His wife was beyond hysterical and felt that her friend, the psychic, knew this was going to happen to him and didn’t warn her. She had read the coworker that was killed, and the wife really felt that she could have prevented his death if she had warned him not to go to work that day. It ruined what was a very lengthy friendship between these two women. The psychic woman swore she didn’t see the accident, but the guy’s wife couldn’t believe her. They had worked together for years, and the wife quit her job because she felt the information had been kept from her and she didn’t want to be around this woman any longer. I guess if you are one of the few that really do have this gift, you end up in some bad situations like this. If you yourself had this ability, would you use it to make money? Use it to help police with missing person’s cases and maybe any other things you could see? Or would you keep quiet about it so that you were not constantly pressured by those around you all the time? That’s such an awful situation that happened 😔 I do feel that if something is not meant to be seen, then it will not be seen. And it can be a hard one to swallow even if there is resonance there...but I believe in soul plans. And it’s about the bigger picture and deeper meaning that a soul goes by when they plan their life. And when it comes to a soul plan, it’s like a contract that was energetically agreed to and therefore cannot be broken unless the person themselves at a soul level decides to break it. And part of a soul plan is when the exit of this life is chosen. But that’s just my belief. As far as the “what would you do with this gift?” goes. I have been torn between whether to charge for it or not. And I’ve talked to many friends who say they do and who say they don’t. I finally found resonance to this idea: There has to be an energy exchange of giving and receiving in order for things to stay in balance. It’s all about the intent when it comes to charging for something. If you are not asking for an exchange, then you are not putting any value on what you are giving. Therefore, I do charge for my services. There is time and energy I put into it. But I don’t close off the possibility of others asking for a session where they will return the energy in some other way, especially if I feel drawn to them. And as far as whether others should share their gifts with finding missing people and such...I feel that everyone has this gift of inner knowing can use that like a compass to help them solve anything. |

That is so sad about the guy who died and his wife’s reaction to it, which I can sort of understand in her grief.  I don’t know what I’d do if I could ‘see’. I feel I’d just keep it to myself. |

I have gone many times and believe that the mediums there are gifted. I have quite a few instances where the medium I saw was spot on. My uber skeptic Catholic dad was shocked when I told him about the passing of a great Aunt that I never knew - she passed in 73-74 when I was 7 or 8. Her death was due to an accident and her passing was unpleasant. The psychic knew details that made my dad go pale when I told him to confirm. My cousins go there at least once a year... |

BUT, the things being said to these people who were in tears were all reassuring things about the loved one that had passed. By the time they got out of the car, they were feeling huge relief and saying this changed their lives. Given that the end result is people feeling relief, letting go of any guilt, being reassured that their loved one is “with” them and guiding them through life, is this such a terrible thing? I went from being really irritated about the show to thinking well, it does make people feel much better and helps them move forward. Your thoughts? This is what trained therapists are for. So that people can do the sometimes hard work of thinking about their relationships that may or may not have been problematic, to grieve, and to let go. So that people can create healthier patterns of behavior and strategies for coping. These "psychics" are hucksters who take advantage of people. |

I’ve been working on my own abilities with this. But what I feel is psychics/mediums/energy healers/readers...etc aren’t meant to “prove” to you that what they are doing or seeing is real. The inner knowing and resonance is to be entertained, not the evidence or reliance on the outer. Whenever I read people I don’t tell them what is true. I just share with them how I’m feeling and share my insights with them and tell them to only take in what resonates. It makes the connection much stronger and significant. I’ll usually get readings done for me at least once a week. One of my medium friends tells me when she’s getting a message from one of my grandmothers who have passed, I can tell which grandmother she is talking about by the way she says it. But I’ll always ask just to make sure ☺️ Maybe one day I’ll feel the answer myself. Usually after the readings something synchronistic will show up to validate it. For instance one of the readings the same friend gave me was about the song Imagine. When I was playing the part back for boyfriend to listen to while we were going somewhere, the song Imagine started playing in the radio. Do you mean that you recorded the session with the psychic and were playing that for him to listen to when your car radio played the song Imagine? If that is what happened, that would give me goosebumps. When you say you are working on your own abilities, do you think everyone has this ability but it is rarely recognized, fostered, and focused on? Or do you think is it very rare, and those that possess the ability still require working on it to hone the ability just like any other talent a person might possess? I’m not sure I’m following your first statement about the ability not being meant to be considered real. Can you talk a bit more on that? |

I’m not sure I’m following your first statement about the ability not being meant to be considered real. Can you talk a bit more on that? Yes, I forgot to mention that the reading was on a fb live, so I was able to go back to replay it. I’ll go back to the live to listen to what she said. A month prior to that she pulled a card for me that had one word on it: Imagine. I recorded the song when it played after I was playing her reading back. I stopped her recorded reading to record the song and sent it to her along with a picture of her pulling the Imagine card. I do believe everyone has this ability to connect. I also believe that some chose to really have this ability to focus and hone in on after most likely having “unfamiliar encounters” because they didn’t know what was going on. So for some, I believe their gifts find them, and for others, they find their gifts. For me personally I don’t believe I chose to use mediumship as my sole gift but something on the side. Therefore, I haven’t really had these encounters from the other side unless I sent the intent out to do so. It’s still at a “I share what I get with one of my medium friends and they confirm if it’s right or not” level. I use other ways to connect that I feel I have gotten stronger in. My medium friend who sent me the Imagine card just posted something in her group. I just saw the notification pop up from above ☺️ Let’s see if it’s about anything related here: It’s a quote that says: “Don’t save something for a special occasion. Everyday of your life is a special occasion.” It was shared from a fb page called: Positive Outlooks What I meant by real is if what I read for others is legit or that I’m just making it up. I’m going to the recorded reading now to see what she said: I didn’t remember that it was the reading that my grandfather came through on. I was playing it back for boyfriend because it was about my grandfather urging me to start my business. And boyfriend has his associates in business admin and he may want to help me get it started. At the end of the reading she said: “He wants you to know that the stuff you’ve been imagining in your head, do put it out there.” And that’s when the song Imagine started playing. Like it was him sending it to me. It was such a beautiful experience and I’m glad boyfriend got to share it with me. |

I only believe in psychics I have vetted. So far, I have vetted one: John Edward. I have spent hundreds of hours analyzing him and for whatever reason, I just completely get why he goes about what he does in the way he does. One of the sources I used to vet him was actually Virginia (Compwalla), who went to one of his readings and verified he was the real deal.
Going to see him at a live event has been on my bucket list for quite a number of years. He came to Knoxville a few months ago and we got tickets. We did not get a reading, but there is not a doubt in my mind he is doing what he says he is doing.
He is a sassy little cuss, too. He has a typical New Yorker's impatience. One of his final readings of the night, maybe THE final reading, was this lady and her family who were given tickets at the last minute by their friend, who had originally intended to bring other people who could not make it. He was bringing through somebody and the family would NOT validate what he was saying. He would not let it go, despite other people around them raising their hands and trying to validate. To those people he would say "No. Thank you very much, but no, it's these people." and "You don't know how much I wish it was you, but it's not. It's for these people." They were just not cooperating. He says that when this happens he sort of gets tethered to it and they (people who are dead) won't let It go. So then FINALLY he is like "Who is hiding between you guys, still sitting down? Can she stand up, please?" And it was this older lady. So she stood up and he repeated some of the information and she FINALLY FINALLY validated it and he was not very nice about all that time that they wasted. He just wants to get it done and go.
He gave many incredible readings that night. One lady who had very strong Christian beliefs was called on to ask a question. She was going to ask him about all that and he interrupted her and then went into this reading that was unbelievable. It was about her grandmother who was a sharecropper and stood up for some black sharecroppers who did not have any rights, and she went to bat for them and maybe even to court (I can't remember) and the woman at the reading was in grad school and writing a thesis about her. He also knew that she had taken in some orphans, how many, and that she had raised them to adulthood and just a ton of crazy, specific information. He did it time and again, over and over. Sometimes he would be reading one person and someone behind them would have someone come through and then it'd be off to the races and he would relate just the most oddly specific stuff, like "You opened a cupboard or a drawer or something where his picture is and you shook your finger at him or gave him a talking-to, didn't you" and the person would be like "I might have done that just yesterday."
The only explanation is that the people he reads are all in on it and just the world's greatest actors...and nope. Not a chance.
Anyway, John Edward. I am certain he is the real thing. So far he is the only one I am certain of. I am sure there are others, but I only believe the one I have vetted. My vetting process is very inefficient. It took me a very long time to vet him, but I have been convinced about him since long before social media and looking people up on the internet, etc.

As as far as believing is psychic abilities, I would like to think I am open and smart enough to know that I don’t know everything about this world. That doesn’t make me either a believer or a hater...just open. But, wouldn’t there be a lot more focus on this from the scientific community if it was a real thing? Your thoughts? My thoughts.... 1) People who scam others are criminals. 2) There are palm readers, pyschics, etc who perform for money whether they have an extra sense or not. Generally, the customers understand going in that this is a "Buyer Beware" situation and go in for entertainment. <shrug> Some may be charlatans, but I don't typically consider these people as defrauding others. 3) It's been a real thing for me throughout my life. Let me explain it this way: We may both see the color blue, but not everybody does. How can you explain what blue is to someone who is blue-green colorblind? Can you explain to them the difference between blue and green? There actually are scientific tests and explanations that you can show them, but none of that really means anything to them until they can see blue and green for themselves. Once they put on those new, high-tech glasses designed for the colorblind to see colors, they experience a whole new world for themselves. ESP, extra-sensory perception, is just like that. If you've always had it, you know what it is. If you've never experienced it, it doesn't mean much to you unless you can suddenly experience it for yourself. I'm not quite sure what scientific experiments could be done when many of these perceptions occur spontaneously and aren't noticeable to someone else. Are there tests to read someone else's thoughts? Can a scientist measure your love for your child/children? If they can't measure it, does it still exist? What about a soul? Do you have one? Where did it come from? Where will it go when you die? I have a Bachelor of Science degree, and I believe that we as a people understand very little about the totality of what we perceive. So, yes. I do believe that there are people who don't need to check Facebook to tell someone else intimate things about that other person's life because they actually do perceive things that most people typically do not. There's not a scientific test devised that can show you how I just know things sometimes. So, I guess that means that I don't know those things I can't know, and the actions I have taken based on the things that I know (but have no way of knowing and therefore must not really know) .... are all coincidences, on the extremely low end of probability, but coincidence nonetheless. Right? (I have family who refuse to just accept my reality, yet don't understand how I knew to do something at a particular moment. They're very confused.  ) 4) I have never heard of "Seatbelt Psychic" and so I have no actual opinion of him. (Maybe I should have led with that.  ) |

Would it be weird if I approached her? I found our quick conversation to be very reassuring and it gave me incredible peace to think that I might see my relatives and pets again. No. I bet if you invited her out for something like a cup of coffee, she'd be delighted for the company. Then again, most of us have had at least one occurrence in our lives that we just felt like we shouldn’t do something, did it anyway and soon regretted not listening to our “gut”. When I feel like I shouldn't do something and I attempt to do it anyway, weird things begin happening that prevent me from doing it. Sometimes, it's all in the timing, so I may be delayed for one reason or another and then as suddenly as they started, the weird delays stop and I'm free to carry on as planned. Other times, no way, no how am I going to be allowed to carry on. Trust me. You would not believe some of the delays if I told you. I don't believe them and I lived them! I have a question for all y'all. Do any of you sometimes think of something, a sentence or a phrase, and then within a few minutes, the person you're focusing on/listening to says that exact sentence or phrase out of the blue? Because that happens to me. The inner knowing and resonance Yes! Inner resonance is a great way to describe it. It's kind of like reading a sentence with SOMETHING bolded out of the ordinary. |

It’s his KIN number (Yellow Cosmic Warrior) and also the time my mom was born. And I just made the link to my mom being born at that time the same day. But I chickened out because I didn’t want to be random like that in front of customers or act like I was ignoring them. An hour later when I was bagging for that checker again, he got a transaction that came to $156.70 or something cents. And I was like 😮 But he didn’t believe that I was going to tell him about 156 🥴 |

JE was possibly the first “celebratory medium” I ever knew of, coming across his show years ago while channel hopping. |

Because that happens to me.

Yes. Sometimes I just know things. Sometimes I dream things with incredible detail and then everything happens in real life. It’s interesting.

Ok, I added mediums to the title. I've had a reading from Luke Danskin 2 years ago on Skype. He kept cancelling with stories of relatives and best friend dying all in the space of a month. I was about to tell him to refund me when he eventually got me. He was good but I've been to his shows and they'll were far more accurate. My niece had a reading a month later and it could be down to us being related but about 50% was the same wording. I do like him but I do think he chances it when he's not sure. I had another reading booked for yesterday at 2pm which he changed to 9pm as his mother is fighting cancer and he'd be on the phone for that hour to the specialist. Then at 8.30 I got a message to say he'll need to reschedule or refund. I've asked for a refund as I don't think his anxiety has got any better and I do think it's anxiety with him after his illness. I too suffer from the same and I often cancel arrangements at the last minute, so I understand. I just hope he gets well as I feel his pain and it's not good. |

I too suffer from the same and I often cancel arrangements at the last minute, so I understand. I just hope he gets well as I feel his pain and it's not good. |

My first and last tarot reading for another person person didn’t go very well. I didn’t like my brother’s girlfriend, and then they got engage, I still wasn’t feeling the love there. She knew I had a deck and begged me to do her reading. I let her pick the cards and put them on floor in front me. I never touched the cards except to shuffle them and fan them out. I looked at them and asked if she really want to know what they said? She said yes , and I told her. She was cheating on my brother, and they would never get married.
Cue shit storm
My parents took the cards and I never saw them again.
After shit storm? Brother went to a different college ( our town was located between the two). than girlfriend. The girlfriend’s landlord called him and told him that she was living with guy during the week and she only went home on weekends to get money, car upkeep and food from brother.
My daughter bought a deck , I wish she didn’t tho, no need to poke in corners that don’t need to be poked in.

Old thread resurrected! Interesting point of view wongran. I guess you were searching his name for more info (as I did those years ago) and this thread came up? I had an email just this week saying he was available for readings, the first I’d heard from him for two years. You make good points about cancellations due to anxiety. While I’m back in this old thread, DIL and I went to a psychic locally after the FaceTime reading. She is highly thought of by locals and it’s always difficult to get a reading with her. Apart from two small things that anyone good at reading body language could have picked up on, there was nothing she said to me of any relevance whatsoever. I knew no one with any name she suggested and nothing applied to me. Yet people I know say she has pinpoint accuracy. *shrug* |

I didn't see this when it was up in May.
Yes, I've had two readings with someone who knew things that no one knows. No one could google them - family dynamics, names (the middle name of someone in my family when I didn't even know their middle name) - just bizarre, small details. None of this "someone with the name H...."
There'd be no way to just "intuit" this stuff. She has some kind of ability - and this is coming from the biggest cynic in the world. I never believed in any of this until I talked with her.

I can get on board with them...are some fakes, i'm sure, but I think there are others who are legit. I had a reading once with a friend. She kept asking me if I had any reproductive issues, kept indicating ovary. I had none, she told me I shouldn't get pregnant within the next couple years. I was 100% planning on adding to our family within that timeframe and thought whatever... Interestingly enough, I had an ectopic pregnancy about a year or so later. Coincidence, maybe?!! She also was bringing up family members names, none that would be found in a phone book...this was pre-internet days |

I am fascinated by many of them. I am open to believing that some people have this ability. I follow Amie Balesky on YouTube and it is interesting to watch her sessions

Please read about medium's techniques; they are well-known for being fake, including all the famous ones on tv.
Check out any of James Randi's videos,too, as he does some clever debunking of this topic.
There are people who are just really good at cold reading others through subtle body language tips, etc. I've often wondered if I could do it. There's no "knowledge of the other side" required.
I've had a reading by a psychic (not a medium) twice, and none of it made sense or came true.

I believe that people do have gifts. I do not believe everyone on TV. I have a friend who has been seeing the same psychic for decades. The woman will actually call her to tell her about impending tragic stuff. Her readings are always frought w/horrible news. Though, one day she will win the lottery. Oh, after that her brother will die. I kid you not. I would not give this woman a dime.
There are people w/genuine gifts, but I think a lot of those people don't tell people about it.
