No and no. But people believe what they want, and if it helps them heal, then I don't care. As long as they're not taken advantage of, and it's fully their choice. |

"The world of clairvoyants went west when Doris Stokes popped her clogs and the simpering gays took over. Down hill from there.
Simpering Gays?"
Yeah the softly spoken simpering full of good intentions lot. Get on my whaps they do.
Profiting from peoples grief, fears and suffering. Charlatans. |

It's largely cold reading being used by the 'psychic' coupled with the cognitive biases that all humans have - we hear and recall selectively what was said to us by them.
I think most are deliberate frauds and the others deluded.
There has been €1 million unclaimed for many years in the Randi foundation. A psychic just has to demonstrate clairvoyance etc under pre~agreed conditions. A few have tried but they were proved at cheats.
There are people who will happily con others and some of them are drawn to psychic roles. Their punters are vulnerable and often desperate. |

When you think about it, it would not be so good to be proved genuin because then you would be studied and all kinds of experiments would be performed on you to find out why you could do it.

"Do you believe in clairvoyants? Has any of you had a reading which was very accurate?  "
Nope. Total nonsense I'm afraid. Why would I possibly believe anyone who claimed to know things about me or what the future held for me?! And what use would such information be anyway?! 
I find it hard to believe that we're now in the 21st century and people are still swallowing this crap. |

My mum was asked to be a fortune teller at my brothers school feet, she put a headscarf on and rambled away to people. For weeks after people came up to her and said things had happened that she'd predicted, it proved to me that it's got more to do with probability than clairvoyance.
