    i wouldnt know each time (about 7 at this stage) i went to see her she didnt turn up...

    i take it im just not meant to see her!

    everyone i know that went to her were actually told things by her that she could never have known, real personal stuff,

    and the predictions she made about my mum years ago came true!

    I heard a story once which made me decide that i was never going to see this woman EVER......(not sure if its true but was enough to convince me)
    Friends of friends went to see the amazing white witch in cobh, a few got their fortune told, however when it came to telling the last blokes fortune, she looked at him strangely and said something like "I cant/wont read your fortune"....she wrote something on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope and instructed him not to open it till he got home...Leaving her, and walking outside, the bloke was confused but decided not to read what the letter contained...As he walked accross the road he got knocked down by a car and was killed stone dead!!!
    When his friends went to him they saw the envelope, opened it and the letter inside read RIP.....

    Freaky or what!! may not be a true story but hey it gave me the heebee jeebees:eek:

    ninibutts, that's hilarious! send it to Stephen King or Wes Craven.

    I've always wondered if these people are so good at reading the future etc then why can't they feckin predict the lotto numbers or the winner of the Grand National! Quacks the lot of em.

    I heard about a guy down in Youghal who reads tea leaves who's suppose to be very good. Anyone know/heard anything about him?

    White Witch..shite, wouldn't recommend her at all.

    Well TBH I think people who, if they did possess clairvoyance, wouldn't be interested in that much money, or give the right predictions to a greedy person. Plus why not put forth another fortune teller who gets the vast majority of his/her predictions right, and demands €1-2k a session with rich people?

    They probably do it mainly to just help people go forth in life, they themselves might know it isn't through, or be confused/some cases hysterical.

    There are several of those urban myths and I'm sure they exist in every town in the world, they're just applied to whomever happens to be the local fortune teller.
    A girl from Ballyvolane did readings for a bunch of us five years ago. To be fair, she seemed to know stuff about our collective past and present (not the stuff she could easily tell by talking to us, but stuff like the names of dead grandparents). However her future predicting skills were crap! ;) Seriously though, none of the good sh1t she said would happen for me has happened... :(

    Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay to have this woman tell you what you already knew?

    I can't believe that in this day and age people still go to these charlatans - and that they hand them good money.

    She didnt just tell me what I already knew she told me problems my friends etc are having so I can help them and also told me bout my future. Its only a bit of fun going to them! But a bit freaky too when she says things that are personal!

    If you dont believe it then why are you even reading this thread.

    Exactly. I think a lot of people need to educate themselves on the technique of cold reading. You'd be amazed how much information can be gleamed from you without you even realising.

    If your not interested in getting your fortune told fair enough but for people who do she was good and the white witch was shocking. She was just a complete weirdo. And she charged €14

    My god! 70 is a bit on the dear side.

    I went to a guy when I was about 16 with some of my friends. Think he was like 20 pounds back then. He freaked me out so much I dont think I could ever go back to one again!!

    You're not the only one! I was thinking €30, maybe €40 at most. That is pure exploitation.

    Wow I've gone to a few and €70 is very steep.
    One told me my best friend would die within 5 years, that was about 4.5 years ago. And she described my best friend to a tee. That was harsh.

    I read the ariticles on cold reading someone posted there. I'm sure some people do that, but sometimes it's really not possible. I went to one in the RDS, she didn't know me at all, just walked over and sat down, and she was able to name the exact suburb my then-sort-of girlfriend lived. Now there is no way I got a different meaning and created the significance myself. A name is a name.

    If you don't believe it fine, good for you, you higher being you. But some things are unexplainable.

    went to the white witch with some *friends* a while ago and what she said so far has come true!!
    as we *or i* know we have more than one life path. i had two and choose one over the other. so we all control our own destiny, the white witch is there to guide you and whether you take her advice or not is upto you.
    she helped me pick the right choices.
    ...now when ur approached by some shabby 'madame rose' who looks for 50 eu before she even opens her mouth. talks with a garbage mouth and you end up telling her your future then slate her good name.
