Fortune Tellers

*marie*

Has anyone here ever gone to one? My sister went this week and it is actually scary the amount of stuff he knew about our family...and even scarier the stuff that he predicted for the next year! I don't usually have any firm beliefs in any of that kind of stuff, but I'm beginning to change my mind. he predicted a death in our extended family and it happened...freaky.
Any similar experiences?

Some very accurate stuff was predicted about my family. Almost scary in fact.

Death in extended family is very common.

Fortune tellers work onb a very loose script and generalities, ie, "do you know a john?, john means something? you say he's your brother" etc etc

Its done by suggestion

They are full of **** imo.

Oh yeah - they like totally know. I went to one and they knew my bank account number and my pin and everything. I had no money left next morning.

Yeah that's what I always thought, untill now. I mean he was so accurate-he knew things only close family members know, and they weren't at all vague details.

Matthewthebig

Can you give an example?

and was the appointment booked?

Have faith - a good psychic can see every last proton.

Well some of it was kind of personal and to do with my parent's business. Other things were about their personalities etc
Some of the more general stuff was that he knew I was starting college and that my sister (the one who went to him) had just bought a new house and car (he knew the colour of the car).
He also told her that one of her sisters would get pregnant within a year...great...!

I think it was in Newbridge or somewhere, must find out the exact place.

To elaborate on my first post, I thought fortune telling and so forth was the greatest load of bollix since the dawn of time and had no faith in it whatsoever but some fairly accurate stuff was said about the future which was fairly precise.

From my personal experience its mostly a female obsession.Anything like that really gets under my skin. My sister and mother are absolute plebs when it comes to superstition. My sister and her friends went to a fortune teller recently and is planning on going to a medium next.

My whole beef with is that the travellers were doing it for years in caravans and no one put any faith in it but now its almost become fashionable. A replacement for religion perhaps ???

simu

But they knooooow! It's magic like!

ive never been to a fortune teller, for fear of finding out my future and maybe trying to change it.

Magic how tinkers know not to call into my house.

Fortune tellers...



LOAD OF F*CKING SH*T



I remember when my fortune was done. I was 12. She told me i would have a passionate young teenage life. She warned me i wouldnt never find a permenant love but would move like the wind between skirts.


F*cking B*tch...i havnt gone like the wind through a single skirt. i sometimes dress my right hand in a skirt just to make my self feel better.

bloody cursed me she did. Tell someone they are gonna be lucky with the ladies and they end up with sexual leprosey.

If you had remarkable skills of prescience surely you wouldn't be wasting it on extorting money from the middle-classes... and instead perhaps prevent people being killed in horrible natural disasters.

Now.. I sense someone on this message board is having money problems... and knows someone by the name of Mary.

good idea for a short tbh.
flash back to 12, "you will never find a permenant love but would move like the wind between skirts"

back to present day infront of window with hand puppet with skirt, "b*tch"

Agreed, i am puzzled by how people believe in this! I have no belief whatsoever in the occult..though saying that i would like to try an ouija board sometime for the laugh but i definitely don't expected anything to happen

I have noticed this too, women go crazy for this rubbish...i have lost count of the number of times female relations of mine have gone to fortune tellers and come back slightly disappointed...yet they keep going to them!

Not sure who it was but it was definately along the lines of fortune telling/Tarot cards and all that.

Never liked them. I always think people do their best to make whatever the psychic tells them come through.

For example, I knew a girl in college who'd been going out with a fella three years. A psychic told her they weren't meant to be and she'd find another fella that would be 'the one'. Three weeks later they had a small row and she dumped him. Now that's stupidity if you ask me.
