Hmmm, that topic reads well

I dunno has it been mentioned here before, but Keith Barry has decided to emulate the JRF million dollar challenge. Although the Irish version is only for a reward of 10k, but you know, recession and all that.

Good...he might as well have said €100,000 because he knows, like we all do, he won't find anyone that will prove it.

back to the good old cynical 'weed out the psychics and mediums' again eh? why dont they look for 'any form of paranormal activity' rather than just psychics?

There is an awful lot of mediums/psychics here though. Generally people who talk about hauntings and the like are not profiting from it. I can not remember the last Irish person who claimed they had telekenitic ability etc.

Mediums and psychics prey on people, they manipulate peoples emotions, and try and profit on how people deal with loss and hope. They are the lowest of the low, that's why they are targeted.

I recenently heard of a local psychic, I have more than a passing knowlege of cold reading etc (I am a magician). I wonder how much interest there would in debunking these people for a blog / local papers?
