BBC 3 Bullsh!t detectors exposes three mediums

DANNY22XX

Very painful to watch. Three mediums are let loose in a chocolate factory with a totally made up story set in place, they totally get busted on this one and they all seem pretty happy about it to.

"my psychic guide told me I was going to be tested ..." .. yeah, right

DANNY22XX

my mistake,,,mods you can move it of you like ,,or leave it there for those who dont read the skeptics forum:D

iamhunted

everyone should read the skeptics forum ... its soo ..... funny?

I posted the mediums thread over there as the skeptics forum could do with some half interesting, skeptical based threads every now and then.

Good,this hopefully will stop some people spending money on fakes like these.

iamhunted

ive been on investigations where I know mediums are talking crap because I know the history they are giving is made up however ive also seen investigators ask questions that are based on made up stories and then attribute activity to these events, that never actually happened.

Was anyone else attracted to Goldie when she got possessed?

Its like a that show with cowboy plumbers, does that mean all the plumbers are lying ?

MooseJam

well it's pretty easy to check the validity of what plumbers say

lol love it.

Not sticking up for any psychics but lets look at this an other way .

But lets look at it this way. This piece does show that they cheated. But does it prove that they are not psychic ?

Yes, because they needed to cheat to be anyway accurate and there reactions at the end are like, feck i have been caught, what to do, quick make a excuse, obvious lies.

If a PornStar cant get it up infront of the camera does it mean he is impotant ??

iamhunted

he wouldnt be much of a porn star then though - plus if he never could get it up for camera then he wouldnt be able to class himself as a pornstar

Bullsh!t detectors should do this for their next project and strategically place Viagra around the set and see if somebody takes the bait. :P


With regards to this video i dont know how "skeptics" can jump on this and use this as proof as its not scientific at all.

If you cheat once thats it you are busted , if a scientist faked his results he'd be booted out of any institution he worked at and his work would never be looked at again.

Porn stars use viagra. That's why fluffer is a dead profession. And bad analogy to be honest.

iamhunted

i would agree that just because some mediums have been proved fake, it certianly doesnt mean they all are.

on the other hand though, its all trust based so once you see mediums getting caught out, its hard to trust any others. If i were a medium, i'd be hunting down the fake ones.

Yeah your right but it doesnt mean you are wrong all the time .

Yes, strange one though for you to come out with, what were you watching/thinking about?

But it means you are willing to lie to get the results you want. You can never be trusted again.

If they were psychic, would they have needed to cheat? Would they run the risk? If they are psychic and just wanted the TV time, did they realise the possible consequences?

They should be shunned by the rest of the paranormal community and ignored by anyone investigating claims of paranormal activity.

faceman

I find it hard to believe with any psychic on "da telly", can call upon their pyschic abilities or spirity guides "on demand". Its never worked like that in my experience.

What if you were psychic and your super power's decided not to work on the night ?? and you have been paid to deliver .

Maybe ask a psychic

Dave!

Sure what do ya expect? The negative energy from the skeptical film crew probably caused the mediums' powers to misfire!

Except of course for Goldie, who was in fact testing us.....

I feel as sorry for people who believe without question the spouting of psychics as sorry as I do for those who email General Ugwengo Anbegongo their bank account details to claim their millions left to them by a dead Zimbabwian prince.

They are filling a market thats there for it.

Ghost Girl

Thats hilarious. Well done to BBC, there should be more of that.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Kevin, he's been in Ireland twice that I know of, I spoke to him in the early 90's through my work, and got a pass to one of his shows, and felt he was really as false as they come and that it was a money making racket. Wasn't comfortable around him at all.

To be honest, I don't believe any of these psychics on tour!

fintonie

wait something is coming through to me, its a bit cloudy wait, no im picking something else up

yes me hammer to put through me puuuter

MrMojoRisin

This is just embarassing. F*cking chancers, that's all I can say.

DyldeBrill

wow this was actually hilarious

ben bedlam

Just goes to show that EVERY SINGLE "medium" or "psychic" is a complete fraud, liar and pathetic, scheming con-artist. These people are the lowest rungs in society, preying on the hopes and desires of the innocent and gullible. They all truly are wretched excuses for human beings

Lower than murderers? Lower than racists? Hmmm. Interesting.

I get that you feel strongly about it. The show was a joke, apparently.:) But be careful where you say EVERY SINGLE one, unless youve tested them all personally.

yes it was funny but I don't see how it proves every single medium or psychic are frauds.

MooseJam

well you can hardly test them all however it speaks volumes that in a test of a group of psychics 100% were found to be liars and cheats
