hi mrmojorisin, ive luved reading your posts for a long time

I might start churning out a few T-shirts now emblazoned with slogans like 'Report Me', 'Where's Your Mojo?', 'Treading The Boards' and 'A Psychic Predicted I'd Make This'.

i suppose your lucky you never met joe, ive been around the block with readers and he was obnoxious, its like he was trying to insult me as well..

I'd say he's started to believe his own gospel at this stage. Based on things I read about him elsewhere, it seemed like he was making a concerted effort to put people down alright. I read on some other website that he actually told a woman that she was full of herself. Pot? Kettle? Black?

yes 8am i got a phone call from his wife the day before, she had a cancellation and i like a twit, jumped at the chance of an appt, i had to get a taxi to his house and it was in the middle of nowhere. I was so excited i couldnt sleep the night before ha, then came out totally speechless and worried, i cringe when i think of that now and there was 3 other people waiting in a car to see him.

What are they smoking up in Ashbourne? Caffeine joints? The only person who should be worthy of making an appointment for 8am is a doctor or another health specialist.

Oh God, a taxi out into the back arse of Ashbourne. At 7-8am. I can see why you're cringeing now, but I suppose you were more willing than usual to go out of your way to see him after being given a false impression of his, er, 'psychic greatness.'

Sure myself and a few friends did something similar with Carol Byrne before. We were given an appointment time of 11:30am but had to leave about three hours beforehand to get to Wexford town in time. They thought she was very good but I thought otherwise, tbh. She was charging €70 (I've heard she charges €80 now - that's a good one) but, to give the woman what little credit she deserves, she stopped the reading with me early on and didn't charge me. Still, we went on the lash there that night, so all was not lost.

I read about a woman driving for over four hours to get to Cobh in Cork to see the White Witch before, only for the W.W. to not show up at all.

Probably best to steer clear of those who are neglectful with appointment times and/or travelling long distances to see same (especially).

tk god i didnt go to him for healing. he has his own office in a cubicle opposite his house, quite a sophisticated operation for such a waffling chancer

I suppose his cubicle for doing the readings is akin to how people keep their sewage/septic tank (sh*t) outside the house. Lol.

i enjoyed reading your post about Peter Matthews so im hoping to meet him soon.

Yeah, well, he's a nice fella who I think is good at what he does. Another thing I liked about him was that he isn't 'complacent' about the mediumship thing. Like, he doesn't rest on his laurels.

He said before that he's "always learning" and, AFAIK, he's still running his open mediumship development circle alongside interested members of the public, as well as going over to that Arthur Findlay College in the UK for courses periodically.

Overall, I thought he had a positive attitude and that he seemed in touch with the real world and the people in it.

i mean ive gone on a couple of wild goose chases with readers like yourself a fairly recent one i was not happy.. Only made an appt with the girl because i kept reading about peoples amazing readings on this board, how anyone could think think this one is a medium is beyond me..

Is that Annette Singleton you're referring to? Nope, not a medium at all. I know the difference between a medium and a psychic based on first-hand experience and she is not a medium.

As I said, she didn't mention a thing about people I know/knew who are dead. There was no reference whatsoever to the afterlife throughout the 40 minutes I was with her.

My primary motivations for going to any of these people are curiosity and seeing if they live up to the hype. And I enjoy a surprise (good or bad).

Speaking of unpleasant surprises, I remember trying out this woman for a reading in Ballincollig, Cork, before after seeing a positive review about her on here. All I knew was that her first name was Chris. It may not have even been her real name.

After making an appointment, I turned up to this semi-detached house in the centre of a housing estate one evening and was greeted by a sweaty tank of a woman sporting a fiercesome look on her face. "Not good," I thought to myself.

She gruffly ushered me inside the house the way a Mexican drug cartel leader would haul a drug mule into their gaff before anyone saw anything. The woman wouldn't have looked out of place in that sort of operation actually.

As she led me upstairs, the tension from her was unreal and she seemed unnecessarily suspicious and/or paranoid. Basically, a complete nut, but I tried to make small talk regardless and decided I'd see how things would go.

She told me to sit down in this leather swivel chair in a room that had walls plastered with feckin' angel certificates belonging to her and there was sacred-type 'music' playing in the background that made Enya sound edgy.

This woman, who was sat opposite me about 8 feet away, then started waving her hands around as if she was icing a cake whilst fixing her eyes on me. I didn't know where to look and I was struggling to keep a straight face. "What are you doing?" I asked her. "I'm cleansing your aura," she told me.

I was really itching to leg it at this point but she was one seriously scary, aggressive woman. I've never met anyone like her.

Her daft hand-waving went on for about 10 more minutes, before she then proceeded to do an overwhelmingly vague angel card reading and used that as 'filler' for the rest of the time while, put it this way, she asked me more questions than she answered for me.

All in all, a load of sh*te, and getting out the door of that house was like breathing again. I don't know where that woman is lurking now, but I'm hoping it's the ape enclosure in Dublin Zoo..

one begins to think is there pr going on here, or clever marketing... So i wont be attending another psychic or medium just based on glowing reviews, theres about 5 boardsies, you are one of them, that i know share their very genuine readings the positives and negatives, no hidden agendas..

I think there's a combination of PR and blind gullibility going on around here - some posters who are connected to the readers personally and who are promoting them, and ordinary folk who are easily duped.

I met a fair few people (the majority of whom were women, sorry to say) when I rolled along to those psychic/holistic fairs before, who I thought were too eager to 'believe'.

Fair enough, people are entitled to their beliefs, but some people go overboard with it. Listening to them talk about who they saw at the fair and what-not, they looked very 'starry eyed'.

I just reckon some people hear what they want to hear and become fixated on that alone to the exclusion of the reader's fundamental incompetence.

I do understand how people are looking for hope and answers to things that are troubling them, but idealism needs to be reined in.

Another basic thing is to just record the reading in order to soberly listen back to it later and see/hear it for what it really is.

Im kinda sick of getting ripped off, the lady in ashbourne sounds like she should be on the stage hee...

The old lady in Ashbourne wouldn't look out of place on Ros Na Run or Fair City.

actually if i was her i wouldve been embarrassed, 'your parents are very happy, together a long time' er, no, seperated when i was three, im 36 now!!
story changed then, 'your mother is strong but doesnt get on with your fathers family' not true either, my mothers family all live in england, we live in ireland, beside my fathers family.

She did the exact same thing with me. Whatever about the shocking inaccuracy of it all, I was more offended by how vague and generalised she was. I mean, if you're going to try to bullsh*t me, come up with more specific b.s! Make an effort, woman!

i paid 20euro to sit in her stinky, dirty house listening to drivel, i will never get that 20 minutes of my life back!!

Lol. Her stinky, dirty house is certainly an experience to remember! I'd say there are ample patches of the floor that have never had a view of the ceiling above them. The wonder that is Mr Sheen probably hasn't been inside there in 20-odd years either.

She should be charging for 'stink tours' instead.

Another potential goldmine for Bunny would be to hold a competition sponsored by Windolene or Mr Sheen, where competitors have to sit in her living room for as long as they can without keeling over from some grime-related infection.

Whoever's the last one standing/sitting wins a year's supply of Mr Sheen and a sh*te reading from Bunny (comic relief after the torment of being in her house, like).

Oh, and Bunny will be rewarded for opening her domestic landfill to the offended public by getting the place cleaned professionally.

Out of the readers you mentioned having seen, I've seen Carol Byrne and Dympna Hughes - Carol Byrne about three years ago, and Dympna back in February of this year.

I didn't think Carol was any good but, then, the reading didn't advance beyond 10 minutes because she stopped it prematurely when she realised she wasn't having any 'success' with me. The names of people I would supposedly know that she mentioned were completely unfamiliar. My friends thought she was very good though.

Dympna. I meant to post about her before. Yeah, very long wait - literally several months-long waiting list and, after seeing her, I understood why. Before I go into the details of the reading, first I have to say that I was impressed by how well organised the appointment was. I think it's Dympna's daughter who manages the appointments. She texted on some very clear, detailed directions to the location and, if I remember rightly, there was another text closer to the appointment time to remind me of it.

I had come across many stories about Dympna's unreliability and last-minute cancellation of appointments, but Dympna was there on time on the day.

She's warm, personable and chatty in a passing-small-talk way, yet she didn't faff around in getting stuck into the reading. A minute into it all, I was assured she was for real - I usually decide whether they're having me on or not within the first minute.

Dympna mentioned some very personal family details that were bothering me at that time and described the situation (which isn't too cut and dry) extremely well. Normally I'm averse to hearing things about family, but that stuff was on my mind then.

Dympna had a lot of info about my dead nan (mother's side) and a close friend of mine who had died only a couple of months before. She was completely on-target and the only questions she asked me were ones to confirm or deny the info she related. But not in that Colin Fry way, where that Paul Whitehouse lookalike eejit doggedly tries hit after hit.

She gave me a few predictions (short-term and long-term) as well, one of which (short-term one) has materialised. It's related to a change of role within the company I work for, and, in hindsight, Dympna described the type of tasks involved in it very well.

I was very impressed by the reading - which was about 35 minutes long - and I was glad that the glowing reviews about her on here didn't lead me down the garden path.

The only bad thing about Dympna is the cost, €80. I was thinking to myself (quite rightly), "You're some eejit to be considering forking out €80 for that," but she does deliver, to be fair. It's still too expensive though, IMO.

Carol Byrne is also too costly - I think she's charging €80 now. Madness really.

Hi,

Is there any way to get there by bus from Dublin?

Hi could ya pm me her details please? Thanks

Seriously lads/ladies, did you not read through the thread fully at all? Bunny is only a cold reader. If she was any good at giving readings, I'd say so on here, but she was able to tell me feck all when I saw her. Normally you'd wait to see/not see if predictions come to pass, but she didn't have a clue about me, my past or my present to start with (never a good sign).

You can get a bus from Dublin to the edge of Finglas, but you'd probably have to get a cab from there (which would cost you about €12-15) to Bunny's house. Honestly, if she was worth a visit, I'd tell you to get a bus and a cab out there next week, but she's only a chancer.

I would recommend you go to Dympna Hughes in Walkinstown. There's a long wait to see her - about three-four months - but it's worth it. Or go to Noel O'Shea in the Phoenix Park. He only reads for people once, BTW - once you see him, you can never go back to him in future. He'll spend a good couple of hours with you though.

Their numbers are in the psychics directory on paranormal.ie: http://www.paranormal.ie/directory.html

I went to see her this time last year, and definitely stuff she told me is becoming more and more clear, must make another trip out

You can get the 103 from Beresford place there is a bus stop at the Brock Pub and you can walk back down to the house from it.

Do you have to make an apt with this lady or do you just call in?

MrMojoRisin wrote: »

You just call in. If she's available for readings, you'll be able to walk in the front gate. If not, there'll be a padlock and chain on it. You'll know when you get there.

I know the house alright drive past it most days.

If anyone has bunnys number can you pm me please

Hi, there isn't a phone number for her - you simply chance your arm and turn up at her house. If the gate isn't padlocked, she's there and available to do a reading.

If you find the gate is locked, you could always go over to the petrol station a few yards away from her house, sit down and have a coffee for a while and check later to see if Bunny has returned home.

I went to see her last year with a friend who knew about her. We just did it for the laugh really. She's a fruitcake. She grabbed my hand and held it for a few seconds. Then she leaped out of her chair and screamed "Antichrist! Antichrist!! Get out, you're not welcome here. I cast you out!", and all that nonsense. I was mortified, but we had a good laugh about it afterwards.

Lol! That's mad. I thought she seemed well into her religion anyway because of all the pictures of Jesus, Mary, Pope John Paul II and Padre Pio all over her front hall and living room.

I thought it was really funny how all that holy stuff contrasted with her little dog that was all decked out in canine bling; it had a gaudy, glittery, bright-pink collar with its name inscribed on it.

I'd say she was on sedatives the day I saw her because she was as gentle as a shaved cactus.
