Weird experience with a clairvoyant

forfuxsake

Went to see a clairvoyant on Saturday and had the usual experience of them knowing a few bits and pieces that surprised me, but being a cynic I'm sure they have their methods. As I was leaving I said something a bit cheeky that suggested I thought it was a bit of a con but worth the few quid for the experience.

She then stood up and said that someone I loved as a teenager would be dead within a year but that I would not be overly upset by their death. Not only that but that I would dream about this person within a few days.

Now this sent cold fear through me. However I decided that I would not even try and think of all the people that would fit this description as I would have them in my mind and only end up dreaming about them.

I woke up at four this morning in a cold sweat awoken from a nightmare that I can remember little about except that it involved Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Ever had anything come true from theses watery old tarts?

She saw you parting with 50 quid quick enough.

You should give TV3 a call the next time

I know someone that was told a close family member would be dead within a year.

Not only that, they were told it would be by suicide. Thankfully it didn't happen as these chancers cannot tell the future.

Stay away from these people would be sound advice.

I don't have a TV so don't get the reference. Do they have a clairvoyant programme?

Scioch

If you dont warn Joey Potter then your technically a murderer if he/she dies.

"Yes, yes! I got a cousin named Fergal. Wow, you're amazing."

Tbh, Katie Holmes "dying" in the next 12 months probably stands a relatively decent chance of happening.

Yeah, the clairvoyant is probably aware of that too.

It's cold reading, simple as that.

These charlatans annoy the hell out of me.



Oh you're hearing a name beginning with the letter P are you? Just tell us the name and stop with the riddles you lying cunt.

TeddyTedson

I always thought a clairvoyant was a "lady of the night".
So that means my Grandad wasn't getting hookers every time he mentioned visiting a clairvoyant:eek:
You're telling me he was actually a whack job:eek::eek:

There are potentially hundreds of people that a teenager loved. The 6 years of a teenager is a long time, think of all the TV shows, sports shows, people in your class, friends, family that are about...it isn't eerie.

She shouldn't have said it to him anyway, I believe in all that stuff, that you can get a sense of what is going to happen, but nothing is set in stone.

But from my limited understanding of it, I'm sure you're not meant to give bad news to people.

You're limited understanding of what? There's nothing going on with these people except that they can get gullible people to believe what they say and part with their hard earned money.

Psychics/Clairvoyants/Conmen/Tricksters............ are you seeing a pattern here.

Parlour tricks is all they have going on. They can read your emotions, facial expressions, eye movements etc and tell you stuff that seems relevant to you. That's if they are good.

Other times they just pure make sh1t up.

Just another point about your post, "If" they can see the future, why aren't they supposed to tell you bad stuff?

It's a load of bollix if you ask me.

I think people who have studied spirituality can sense the future, and more exactly what are a few likely scenarios, as there is no set outcome, more a likeliness of what will happen. AS I said this is something I would have interest in, but I completely that there are people who just use it to make money and exploit other people.

How many people were you involved with as a teenager ?
As teenager you would have to include everyone you fantasied about , ie. everyone of the opposite sex you met , hundreds

People you know die all the time - not necessarily people you are close to , but people you know of

Odds are good that there will be a coincidence / collision since humans are very good at pattern recognition.



Also depends on your age too.

Yes it really sours the con if you start throwing out bad news to the mark. It's good for a big score and flee but in the long run you want to be giving the mark good news so the seasons become sort of therapeutic and comes back for the feel good factor.

The fact you think they shouldn't give bad news kind of highlights the fact we all know it's going to be a form of entertainment. You wouldn't come out of a mechanics saying "he really shouldn't have told me my tyre was so bad it was going to explode".

she put the idea of dreaming about her in your head.... obviously now your thinking about her alot more and so its very likely you will have a dream about her.

question is would you still have had that dream if the clairvoent had not said anything about the girl or you having a dream about her.... i seriously doubt it.

its all cobblers if u ask me


i'm not clairvouent but your going to dream about football sometime this week.... keep me updated

How do you go about studying spirituality?

Likely scenarios is exactly what they do, oh your in your 40's 50's a family member will die.

20's 30's someone in your family\friends will get married or you will meet your love. bla bla bla bla.

Stupid crap :mad:

Exactly, the majority of peoples lives follow a very similar pattern. It's extremely easy to make vague predictions about everyone and anyone, and be right a good lot of the time.

Ms.M

According to "The Secret", we all decide our own future. We attract things to us; so if you believe you'll win a million euro, and imagine you've already won it, it will inevitably happen. If you constantly worry about money and expect to be on a crap wage for eternity.... you will be!

Oh yes, and regarding any famine / holocaust / catastrophe that has ever happened... those people "attracted" those events to themselves because of their own internal misery.

Seriously.

That's why some people are rich and happy y'all! It's... duh, duh, duh....
"The Secret."

Be positive guys mkaaaay!

(I did not purchase this book, it was on a dresser)

Cee-Jay-Cee

I once went to one and was told that someone i knew or someone that i knew that knew someone or someone that i knew that knew someone that knew someone else would come into money within the next 10 years and that that same person would have someone close to them die within 3 yrs from that date.

Well...just as prophescised my friends friends friend won a tenner on the lotto 4 years after that and then 2 yrs later his granny died. I nearly died when i heard it, it was bone chilling the accuracy of the whole thing!

I'm going to see her again sometime in the future to see what other uncanny foretellings she can come up with.

That's a fairly broad statement. That could be ANYONE! Think of the countless celebrities, be it actors, bands, etc,etc that you 'loved' as a teenager. She's taken you for a mug.

It relies partially on the fact that we tend to think of ourselves as exceptionally unique, that we follow unique patterns and the things we do, think and feel are things that other never do, or very rarely do.

Simple things like getting your jacket pocket or a belt loop caught in a door handle. An event that seems really unlikely and something that would "only happen to me". Yes, it happens to everyone.

In reality we are extraordinarily similar in how we think and feel and this is what "psychics" use to make "readings" of us.

Derren Browne did a great bit on cold reading;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ovc9lmmPVw

Summary: He did the same thing in a number of different countries. He took five or six random people into a room and asked them to pick a numbered envelope at random. They were to put some personal effects into the envelope while he wasn't looking, so he wouldn't know who put what in which envelope.
He then took the envelopes and went away for an hour. When he arrived back, he had written a description of each person, based on what they'd put in the envelope, and slotted it into the envelope.
The people then took their envelopes and went away to read their "profile" privately.
Everyone agreed that he'd been fairly accurate, ranging from about 80% right to "absolutely spot on".

He then asked them to fold it up and to mix them up randomly so that everyone would end up with someone else's profile and he wouldn't know who. If they got their own profile back, they just swapped again.

The groups continually kept opening the piece of paper and then immediately passing it back around, taking a few goes to realise what was going on - the exact same thing was written on every sheet of paper, it was a stock description he had written days beforehand, printed five times.

I Heart Internet

^Seen very similar experiments with horoscopes. Everyone gets the same one regardless of "starsign" and everyone agrees that it's pretty spot on regarding what's going on in their lives at the moment and then are asked to pass it to the person next to them.....

"Your starsign means you are a thoughtful person, however, that doesn't rule out acting on impulse when confronted with an important decision. People in your family circle will rely on you for advice in a crisis but you shouldn't be afraid to ask for advice yourself as you will face decision time shortly that will affect your professional life. Be good to yourself, your starsign means you are at risk of being a workaholic so now might be a good time for a break. A special someone is close at hand - or may have already made an appearance in your life."

What do you think? Could I be an astrologer?
