...would you trust a fortune teller who didn't tell Diana something along the lines of "Today would be a *great* day to walk home"? Cos I wouldn't, especially not for €100!
LOL
Seriously though, isn't it part of their ethics that they can't tell you anything bad that they may foresee??0 -

A lot of smart arse replies on here, but nothing I wouldn't expect from people on here either, tbh...
I'd recommend Veronica in Blackpool (I think someone said she was in Farranree - not so, however), Peter Matthew, who reads from The Commons Inn (he's more of a medium than a fortune teller though), and Maria in Cobh.
Veronica and Maria read Tarot cards.
Veronica's and Peter Matthew's numbers are listed in this directory: http://www.paranormal.ie/directory.html
I'll PM Maria's number to you. It's up to yourself who you want to visit though.
Of course, there's the White Witch in Cobh as well but, tbh, she's only good for a laugh really. Extremely hit and miss in recent years, by all accounts. Still, she's a hell of a lot cheaper than most and is a nice, highly entertaining lady.
There's more info, reviews, etc, about readers over in the Psychics&Mediums sub-forum of the Paranormal forum. 0 -

The replies are actually quite mild considering its complete and utter nonsense and it's conning people out of decent amounts of money.0 -

Yeah. Well, any forum outside the Paranormal forum, tbh, where most people there are open to intelligent and respectful discussion of subjects like the possibility of an afterlife, parallel universes, etc.
It's boringly predictable how a topic like the one mentioned in the thread title that's posted somewhere outside the Paranormal forum is shot down like a bullet by people, accompanied by visceral anger and outright indignation. It's like people are personally offended by something that doesn't even affect them personally, which I find quite funny actually. A bit of detachment and maturity wouldn't go astray.
As for "protecting" vulnerable people from fortune tellers/psychics - well, if they're adults and of sound mind, it's their own responsibility to protect themselves and make cogent decisions based on the huge amount of information that's freely available to them.
People should be able to make their own choices without the 'assistance' of faceless, anonymous internet forum users with visible chips on their shoulders.0 -

Thank god there is someone with a bit of respect posting. This thread has turned into a total troll-fest - this is sadly such a common sight in this forum. The original poster was only asking a simple question and like flies on crap the trolls descend. Have you all not got better things to do - actually I think I already know the answer to that

Enough to know that it's up to the person aiming to prove something remarkable to provide evidence to support the belief. I am certainly open to the idea.
What type of field research have you done exactly? Was this done in your locality, nationally, or both?But unfortunately, it's not possible to find any 'research' on this stuff as it's not even worth researching.
What's most unfortunate is that you seem to be unaware of all the research that's at your very own fingertips. Obviously other people - including the U.S. and Russian governments - felt it was an area that was worth researching. But hey, what do they know compared to you?There are of course the odd few universities who do so, but anything I've found seems to prove that they're all hoaxes.
Are you referring to particular mediums/psychics (if so, who?) that have been 'proven' to be hoaxes, or are you referring to general psychic phenomena (again, please name the phenomenon/phenomena)? The Stanford Institute has produced a lot of credible research material on the paranormal in the past that's worth a look.Why don't you link us to studies or research you've found that prove the existence of the paranormal? Anything scientific? And if you have a problem with science, there's little point in arguing. Science has no secret issues with the paranormal. They're just rational people who like having evidence for things, like everything else in life. Why does the paranormal not need evidence like everything else?
You want me to do your own damn homework, do you? The audacity of you.
Look, we've debated and argued this whole 'science Vs. the paranormal'/'Can you prove something paranormal?' argument for literally years over on the Paranormal forum and I certainly do not have any interest in trying to 'make you believe' for your own benefit.
My only interest is in trying to promote sensible open-mindedness and receptivity to, and respect for, new information about the area and for others' experiences and viewpoints. It certainly isn't my responsibility to prove anything to you.I see warnings all the time about people's credit cards being exploited or for people to avoid internet scams. There's nothing odd about warning people — it's a nice thing to do — especially if people (and I know some) who have wasted a lot of their money on the paranormal and got little or nothing good out of it.
So have I, but that doesn't prompt me to embark on a moral crusade on a forum to 'warn' strangers. I'd expect them to have a bit of common sense about these things. If they don't, then fair enough.The whole "adults" and "of sound mind" thing is quite honestly one of the worst arguments I've ever heard. We warn adults of sound mind all the time about scams. And warning someone does not take away their choice or hamper their ability to still contact someone claiming to be psychic.
Oh okay, so they aren't adults and they don't have sound minds? Right, okay then - good luck with you believing that.
Of course warning someone doesn't take away their choice - I never even suggested that. I think you vastly underestimate how informed some people are. You also have to accept that there are people out there who simply pay money to see these people for the laugh (maybe for a hen night, or what have you) and don't give a toss what cautionary words people say.
The Psychics&Mediums sub-forum of the Paranormal forum invites people who have actually had first-hand experiences with various psychics and mediums to post positive and/or negative feedback about them, as the case may be. Those are INFORMED WARNINGS, unlike the rhetoric from you, for instance, which isn't based on first-hand experience at all and, thus, is vaguely generalised and not particularly useful or original, even.Allowing people to see both sides of a coin is hardly unfair or wrong, and I doubt very much you think the same way about any other type of scam.
That's very presumptuous and arrogant of you. Doubt all you want - doubt seems to be a recurring theme in your post.0 -
