    Madame Bridget. A *master* palm reader.
    Sits near Supermacs Eyresquare with her cardboard info-advertisement - atleast last time I saw. Mind, it might be wise getting some shots beforehand.

    Yes, I've gone to a few Fortune Tellers - and they've all been rubbish - one of which was Hillary - here's some to avoid:
    - Hillary Fortune in the Eyre Square Shoping Centre
    - Tea leaf lady in knocknacarra
    - Madame Lisa that comes to the Clybaun in Galway
    - Some other lady in Ennis - she does it from her house in some housing estate in Ennis.

    In case you are unsure - Madame Bridgit that the speak of is a poor old lady who reads fortunes beside the imperial hotel in Eyre Square, and has done for decades - she doesn't have a gift unfortunately the poor woman is sat there feeding her husbands alcohol problem while he drinks away all her money in the Imperial Hotel.

    Hope this helps you. If you hear of any good ones please let me know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 585 ✭✭✭lisajane


    I have been to her (hilary) twice. The first time i thought she was good. For someone i never met before she knew alot about me. Though that can be read from body language and what not. When it came to predicting my future, she was fairly useless. She did say i was lucky and i should play the lotto. Im not sure if she was hinting at something but i still havn't won the lotto.

    I heard about some fergal fella in ballinasloe. Has anyone ever been to him?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    I've heard of that guy in Ballinasloe too.

    He's the seventh son of a seventh son and has the gift apparently....but hell, i'm a wee bit sceptical about the whole thing.

    Theres a woman in Croom in Co.Limerick whos scary accurate aswell apparently, and of course theres the white witch of Cobh in Cork, who is supposed to be the dogs, except she tells you good and bad stuff, and not just what you want to hear.

    I'm just going by what the friends have told me;)

    SHE SAID SHE WASNT MARRIED!

    ok i believe that 99.999999% are just pulling a fast one but for the laugh i went to one in edinburgh a few years ago. she was either real or fantastic at the game. there was so much she got right about my past and future.
    she guessed my mothers name, my ex bfs name (and why we broke up), the fling i was about to get into (and when i should get out), my future bfs name and surname and what country he'd be from (she said i'd marry him and we're still together so who knows lol), where i'd move to in a few years (i am, now in a few months), my mothers love of bunnys, some family skeletons and my career and route i'd that (which i never would have guessed i'd take but have). this was without me giving her any hints, i tried my best not to give an signals. Now that freaked me out.

    Fortune telling, astrology, and all the rest of that pseudo-scientific nonsense is overwhelmingly denied by the scientific community. All fortune tellers do is some very convincing cold reading. At the end of the day people are so scientifically illiterate that they don't understand that things like fortune telling are impossible. For example a hell of a lot of people believe that the moon can have some sort of effect on our bodies because of tides, but are completely ignorant as to the actual principles and mechanics of tidal forces.

    I've heard great things about the tea-leaf lady...have yet to go myself though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 152 ✭✭Cathal01


    I've gone a few times out of interest but I've never found any of them any good.

    The lady in Ennis- is always answering her mobile while she's reading for you and she spends most of the time giving out about her husband. I went to her twice, the first time she was actually scarily accurate but the second time was a disaster.

    The man in Ballinasloe- thought he was useless. "Who's Bernadette?"/ "Who's Majella"? etc etc. I don't have a ****ing clue who they are. He got even less specific towards the end and started asking me who I knew with a name beginning with "M" or "J". Really stupid. Also seemed to focus mainly on my sex life, and sex in general!

    Mrs. Zimmerman in Oranmore- Terrible AND expensive.

    I've heard Hilary is crap also. Madam Brigid is probably the best idea, at least you'll get some entertainment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    Imo if anyone markets themselves as a Fortune Teller/Psychic etc and charges money they should be done for false advertising unless they can actually demonstrate it (which had never ever been done in proper trials). Other than that let people off, the gullible are always soon parted with their money.

    Tea leaf reading ftw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭littlesurfer


    I've been to Hilary. She was a lovely woman...but she wasnt able to tell me anything about myself..what she predicted would happen to me in the last weeks didnt and apparantly i'm to meet my new boyfriend at a wedding before mid november....i'm still waiting for last minute invitations...oh well.

    I did think she was quite good when it came to my palm...she was able to tell me that i was a twin at birth which i was...now thats a very lucky guess. Other than that i was sorry i'd gone in and parted with my money


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 sunny10


    does anyone have contact details for mrs zimmerman in oranmore? Is she still seeing people?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 233 ✭✭oddone


    Come on folks, I really find it hard to believe there are mature adult people which I presume you lot on here are (mostly) who can seriously entertain the notion of parting with your hard earned cash by handing it over to a charlatan 'fortune teller'.

    I mean how desperate do you have to be to need to be told how your life is going to pan out by some circus act who practices the lowest form of cold reading (as highlighted earlier) in order to relieve you of the contents of your wallet.

    If you have any brain at all please refrain from keeping these people in business,
    and if you're still convinced they are genuine and can give 'accurate' readings then I've got a bridge I can sell you, pm me for more details.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1 ciaralou

    Thanks

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,650 ✭✭✭cooperguy


    Ill give you a reading. I have a gift that has been passed down through my family for generations that my great-grandfather discovered after he ate the bark of the wonga wonga tree in deep Africa and sacrificed a virgin goat to the great god Imotep


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 mistee


    hi i am wondering has anyone heard of a Finbarr Ward in Ballinasloe as a fortune teller 2 people told me he is good but i dont know of any others that went to him!!!!!!!

    thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    I went to Madam Brigit in Galway. I went with a group of friends and we all went seperately. I thought she was scarily accurate, for all of us. She asked me to think of something happy and powerful, so, naturally enough, I thought of the boy that, well, is my main interest at the moment. I focused on that...it was odd...she started muttering about helping people and guessed that I wanted to be a doctor but was unsure of myself...that is 100% true. She knew a lot about me - she knew that I was intelligent, although I suppose that could be gathered from my ambition but she knew other things too. She said to me I would be leaving the country soon and it would be big, and I'm going to France after Christmas for an exchange. She didn't mention much about the boy - except that I was giddy about him and he made me feel happy and sad at the same time and he would make me happier, but I got the feeling she was saying what I wanted to hear...
    As for my friends, she was accurate in guessing the 1st letter of their love interests! Also, it was my friend's birthday the next day [the reason we were in town] and she knew that.
    She also mentioned a party to all of my friends but me - at the end of the month, they're all going out to a big disco and I'm not...
    Sad story about her husband...but I think she has something...any opinions on this?

    Not her husband - some random winos who take her money.

    Edit: It's all superstitious nonsense.

    Hilary told me years ago that I would cross over many waters. I got excited but now realise she meant the Shannon, which I do - weekly.

    I went to Finbar in B'sloe last year with a few friends. He is eerily accurate on some things, just as soon as you walk in the door. His reading is very long and its a lot of info to take in, so he recommend you write it down. I recently looked back on my notes and it says there is a family pregnancy coming in Nov.... oohh will keep you posted !
    I would recommend him because he gives your moneys worth, and some things are really freaky spot on. some of the reading i didnt get but its possible these things may happen in the future. I would call myself a skeptic, and i tried not to give away too much in my face and hands during the reading!

    Went to hillary myself!! she was very accurate on certain things but totally off on other things!! I'd nearly go to her again thou!!

    Shara did you have a bad experience? Just asking because a couple of my friends may be going to see him and I would not like to recommend him if he is giving bad readings.
    dont worry I didnt take what he said too seriously anyways when I went to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Please note that shara has just one post where s/he attacks this Finbar guy. Now, how much would you trust a person like that? It could even be Mystic Meg trying to get his business.

    Btw, they're all phoney and I predict a quick end to this thread.
