Cobh's 'White Witch' Helen Barrett- What are your experiences with her?
Comments
-
Just joined this site so thought that I could put my tuppance worth in! I went to see Helen recently - friends of mine had been and had been quite impressed with her.
In honesty I dont know - my friends had all been very excited by their readings - but all results together showed that all of our sons who are here and still to come would be in the European Army - with the Lisbon treaty who knows?
There was one thing Helen said to me that I would dearly love to come to pass - and I'll probably be able to confirm this in perhaps 15 years - my daughter is special needs - Helen told me that I would be able to make her unlimited by then due to the increasing break throughs in stem cell research. This would be beautiful of course.
Helen did see that I was seperated - she got the ages correct of some of my life events - and there were certainly some life events that she saw that would not be the normal run of the mill for most peoples lives
Yes I was a little phased by her and I would agree with previous writer that she isnt in the best of health at present - but all said - I am pleased that I met Helen - and really liked her as a person.
Im glad I hadnt read any of this thread before I went as I doubt I would have gone - and I think I would have missed out on a very intersting life experiance.

When did she say this European Army would start up? Just so we know exactly in advance if it does happen...0 -

It turns out she was on with Neil on the Tuesday (December 1st). I can't get 96fm up here but they said she was going on about the horrors of 2012, Ireland coming out of the recession next year and Barack Obama being shot in a military parade. Did anyone hear her on the radio? I'd be interested in more details. It's a balls that they don't leave podcasts of Neil Prendeville's show,yet they have ones for that stupid early breakfast segment alright. :mad:
Came across this recent enough article on her tho..
Cork Independent online:"At a very young age, I saw thousands of soldiers of mixed race march down the street in Cobh," she says, explaining that she believes that a huge European army military base will be located there. And in the not-too-distant future either. Helen shared something special with her grandaunt, as both had the signature of fate on their palms, the Ladder of Success, a symbol of leadership in witchcraft.
Leading a total of 155 Cork wizards and witches, Helen uses her crystal ball and psychic ability every day and places an unshakeable ‘matter-of-fact' faith in her palm-reading skills.
Her home is constantly under siege from curious members of the public, all with appointments of course. And Helen confides that her phone rings off the wall each day with anticipation from those seeking psychic guidance. Helen's first premonition occurred through an astral projection experience, which has been widely reported, as the seven-year-old Cobh girl travelled in spirit to the tragic Stardust fire in 1980.
Since then, she has predicted the death of Lady Diana Spencer, John F Kennedy and Barack Obama. "Obama has a short life line on his palm. It may happen in a military parade but he will pass away near water," she says.
There are good things ahead for Ireland though, according to Helen. "Ireland has fallen under the power of Taurus and it will be oil and gas that will bring Ireland into huge wealth. It is destined to happen and soon.

Hi! Two of my friends went to see Stephanie a couple of years ago. Told them what they wanted to hear but none of her future predictions came true.
Went to veronica in blackpool myself, felt she was a bit on the negative side. However, two things she predicted came true soon after the reading. I will have to wait until the end of the year to see if she was right with the rest of her predictions! Thought betty near the silversprings was useless!! Couldn't read me at all!!:mad: I'm going to Peter Mathew next month, does anyone know if he's any good? 0 -

Okay, so -1 for Stephanie in Cobh so.Went to Veronica in Blackpool myself, felt she was a bit on the negative side. However, two things she predicted came true soon after the reading. I will have to wait until the end of the year to see if she was right with the rest of her predictions!
The good things I've heard about her ability outnumber the bad things, so I'd say she's 50/50 really.Thought Betty near the Silversprings was useless!! Couldn't read me at all!!:mad:
I've heard her name being mentioned a few times in the past but I never heard anything about her readings and whether or not they were good or sh!te. Sounds like she's one that people should avoid anyway.I'm going to Peter Matthew next month, does anyone know if he's any good?
I've heard five excellent reviews about his readings and, based on those, I ventured along to see the man for myself before Christmas. I was talking about it a little on here last month.MrMojoRisin wrote: »[...] I saw this bloke named Peter Matthew just before Christmas after hearing about a half a dozen rave reviews, and I was pretty damn amazed afterwards. I had only given him my first name beforehand and, even so, I don't have any personal, traceable (based on my first name, which is a common enough name, btw), info posted for public consumption on the net. I dunno how the f uck he knew all these names of deceased relatives I have and how they died, or how he gave me messages from one of my nans about actions I had taken privately and in seclusion. Highly specific stuff that you can't get by cold reading me. I have met scam sham twats claiming to be psychic in the past, btw. You have to live and learn, and sift through the sh*t to find the gold. Anyway, yer man had me fairly shaken for about a day or two after the reading. If you think you'd like to give a reading with him a lash, his details are here.
The information he came out with was very specific and detailed. One mate of mine suggested that he might have been able to do some background research on me in the intervening weeks before the reading, but, as I said above, I don't have anything personal under my real name on the internet. I even 'Googlebaited' myself (looked myself up) using both my real first name and my real full name and I couldn't find anything - the nearest results (if you could even call them near at all) were some people in the USA who share my name and who have their professional profiles on LinkedIn. And no, there's no connection between us despite sharing the same name.
I still haven't figured out how Matthew knew what he knew about me and long-dead family members. There were a few things he said that made no sense to me at all and I even went to the trouble of querying near and distant family members about that stuff afterwards, but that didn't bear any fruit. Unless they were playing stupid with me. Like, one of the details was about a miscarried baby boy. That might have been a bit of a sensitive issue. My Mam said that a cousin of ours may have had a miscarriage before. Then again, miscarriages are common things. It'd be fair game for a 'medium' to throw that one into the reading - everyone knows at least one person in their whole family (near and distant) who's miscarried a baby.
But Matthew made me a bit nervous when he was able to describe my actions in my own room that I had done a few weeks beforehand (nothing weird, btw) and of which nobody knew anything about. And then the detailed info (first names on the first go, and where exactly they lived when they were alive, etc) about dead relatives of which I was already well aware.
Anyway, getting a bit OT here...0 -

Hold on to your money! I went to the White Witch about 4 years ago, maybe more. She told me i was very psychic, i'd be engaged within the year (I wasn't), then proceeded to give me the number of a local jewellers!
I would have a son who will be famous in sports. (She has said that to everyone at this stage).
She also told me she would be dead within 2 years, she's still alive i presume. She then went off track completely and started talking about her ancestors and her powers and the influence she has in society...heads of covens and secret societies that many of our politicians and irish celebrities seem to be part of! Interesting stuff but then my time was up and when i asked her how much it was she asked for cigarettes!
It's hard to get hold of her. She seems to rattle off the same reading, altered in some form to everyone.
Her predictions seem to be way off as well. 0 -

She should have just said so after my boyfriend and I spent Euro 40 on a reading.
I'd say she just doesn't like to turn people away, although I have heard of people with appointments coming to see her, only for her to shoo them away again. One story of this kind that I heard was from someone who had driven for over four hours to get down to Cobh for the reading. That's bad.
Maybe she keeps reading for people regardless to see if she can pick up anything? A person actually doesnt need to be psychic to read someone's palm, believe it or not. Anyone can learn how to read palms.
Btw, I don't think she reads for people for the monetary 'gain' of it. Not when she has cousins who are CEOs of multinational companies and wealthy friends in high places.
From reading the earlier posts in this thread... she basically told us what she told everyone else..
I've got deja-vu.3. She told me I will die at 86, my partner will die at 84. She even saw my partners initials on my palm... (hell, she even traced it herself... lol)
I know, and know of, people whose partners' and ex-partners' initials she correctly picked up from looking at their palms. I don't know how she did that. I heard about a relative of mine's friend attempting to deliberately lead her astray with the initials of her ex to 'test' the White Witch, but in fairness, she remained adamant that the initials were definitely the ones she was seeing (which was correct).Basically, the readings was a BIG dissapointment since we had our hopes up from hearing about the White Witch of Cobh.
She was really good years ago (maybe 10-15 years back). She used to spook people with being able to tell them all about their past and making predictions for them that actually happened. I actually don't know when she first started reading for people - was it the late '80s or early '90s??
Her good rep back in the day was deserved, but things obviously haven't been going well on the readings front in recent years. I've said it may be health-related, but I know yer man Billy Drake down near Youghal was still able to read competantly for people even when his health took a bad turn. He's retired from it completely now though.
Would there be some other, more 'esoteric' reason for someone just losing their psychic ability?I reckon that there are better psychics out there (as I've had the chance to experience some very good readings from psychics in the past).
Oh yeah, who did you see who was very good?We both felt conned after the readings.
I can understand that alright. Still, you learn through trial and error and your feedback is helpful to other people.
Having said that, the White Witch is a bit of a legend. You wouldnt really get the chance to talk to her (or listen to her ramble on ) anywhere in everyday life because I don't think she goes out at all, like to the pub, a restaurant or whatever. Or scouring the aisles of Woodies DIY for brooms/broomsticks. :pac:Anyway, will just have to wait and see if her predictions come true but somehow I doubt it since she says the same thing to the rest of the population.
That's about all you can do. I haven't seen anyone, apart from maybe one person, on here who talked about a prediction she made that has happened. That's either due to forgetfulness on their part or non-runners of predictions on Helen Barrett's part. 0 -
