yeah, but they tell you stuff you can't get your head round until its happened(things in your life I mean), then your not even sure that what happens is anything to do with what they were on about at all in the first place. Its easy for some advise or a situation/event they talk about to fit into your life they arn't exactly pin point.
Though I did find tbh that it was helpful in some way , kind of like being helped with the answer to a question you dont know of until it gets there.
If that makes any sense.
Give it a go but I think if its for a personal reason a good pal is just as helpful.

Personally, I never used to believe in all that tripe, and still don't really. I think the people are professional bullshitter's and know all the right button's to push to make their claim's seem true.

However, my grandad died about 3 years ago on an plane, took a heart attack after moving to my aunt's seat ( who he was going on holiday with ). My aunt got a real bad feeling about it, like a destiny type thing and all sort's of crap, just for the fact he had moved onto her seat. It played on her mind for ages. Anyway, when she got beck to work, she was telling some of her workmates about how he died and how she felt. Next day one of her friend's came into work and said his wife wanted to meet my aunt.

When she went to meet her it turned out she was a medium type thing and started telling my aunt about my grandad and other stuff, without asking any questions. My aunt said all she knew was her name after introducing herself. This woman was able to tell my aunt that my grandad was now with his wife Margaret ( my gran ) and also was able to tell her about him having two wedding ring's, something only my mum and aunt knew about. There was also other stuff mentioned but it's more or less stating the same point I'm making, this girl was for real.

My conclussion, there are people out there who can do it, but they are one in a million and on the other hand, there is thousand's or probably million's of fakes, and that's most likely what you'll end up visiting.

Sorry, just my opinion but I can’t stand these people, borderline lowest of the low; they just prey on people’s peoples emotional vulnerabilities, normally when they are at a really low point in their life.

Most of what they do is nothing more than simple psychology and open-ended questions, anyone with some common sense can learn how to do that.

The ones that actually believe there are voices in their heads; well they probably shouldn’t have been released so early.

Boy this year aint half been an insight into finding your real friends and who they are and how well they wil stand up by you,

More importantly is that i have yes now come to terms with the death and i can post this emoticon very proudly.

Its took me 9 months to deal with this in all honesty Lee and will take a while yet. Whilst i do believe etc its still hard.

The next step for me really is this medium visit my friend, I knwo she is ok, but i want to hear to for myself

i dont think mediums have anything to do with god, its just the spirits.

Honestly.....i do believe in that stuff, i believe in the paranormal stuff.

But just like the mediums, there comes fake programmes along with it. Some bits it seems they are fishing too hard trying to make out someone was saying something when its just a bang, which gets on my tits

But, having a few quite dramatic deaths in our family, and witnessing my mum going to a medium, i do believe in it

Leave it alone - if your dearly departed want to make contact they will find a way to do it. After all, they are in a much better position to find you than some charlatan is to find them.

I don't actually believe one way or the other - my dad has been dead for 30 years and I've heard nothing - not even a postcard - and he should have known there have been times when I REALLY could have done with having him around!

thing is with this stuff,is some people can do it,
and some people think they can do it,and for approx Ł30
they expect everything and the lottery numbers
please explain how without giving away any info,some of these
mediums/crystal gazers can give accurate info regards past ,
present and future.
the most well known one is Derek Acorah,he gave my mil
accurate info on her mum,she has never met him,or told
him anything for him to guess.

I think some people can benefit from seeing a medium because it causes them to reflect on themselves or makes them more open to accept things.

However the art of being a medium is one about manipulation and it shouldn't be taken seriously.

mediums are scum and feed from the weak

i proved i could be a medium to a friend in work! with a little thought and very open questions/answers you would be chocked how much you can read from someone!

i cant remember the break down but it is something like

17% of what you actually say is taken in
33% tonal
50% bodylanguage

i'd go just for the experience because i'd always be wondering! but if you do, then go in the frame of mind that what they are saying means nothing.

I went to one just for the experince and I had to ask her about the 2 most important subjects i wanted to know about, and her answers were exactly what I wanted to hear. But i asked her so of course she is going to make the answers light and happy isnt she!!

although one thing she said about was that I should check the front lights on my car, and she was right because no matter what car i have the bulbs keep blowing on my fogs!! I still dont believe it though and cant really remember anything apart from that which she told me!
