Has anyone ever had an accurate psychic reading?

Has anyone ever had a psychic accurately predict your future?

I haven't. I have had others succesfully "read" my past and present

Yes!!! I lost a close friend and decided it would be fun to go to one. I looked up on yelp and found a lady that had a bunch of 5 star reviews named Leanne Thomas (her website is angelichope) here in the SF Bay Area. She was amazing as she knew the specific names of my grandparents and my friend and specifics about them that only I knew. My partner decided to go and she again had many specifics and names to share with him. We have shared her info with a bunch of friends who all reported back to having a great experience with her.

Yes.

Yes. Twice. Once in the eighties, once in the nineties (I'm an eldergay). Both times were incredibly accurate and the second time, so on target as to be, not exactly terrifying, but very, very unsettling.

The first was a trick I met in a bar and with whom I eventually had an ongoing relationship. He was a big, tall redhead and very much a young Daddy type. He was not a professional psychic in any way but had certain limited abilities. I thought he was full of shit when we first met and he told me about it but I asked him my birthday. He gave it to me, to the day. Longer (fascinating) story for later. Great sex and such a sweet, hot guy.

The second was a gay tarot card reader in a gay bookstore. Very long and unsettling story I can't go into now.

Yes, but it still remained rather vague. One September many years ago I was told I would meet a blonde foreigner with a strong accent. We did indeed meet, in April. And we were together for over 2 years and remained friends for many more.

The forecast for what my year would bring was dead wrong.

I've had the same, OP. I used to go to a lot of them in my (very confused) youth and tosome of the most famous ones.

Often amazing re my personality, but predictions for the future...complete failures.

If you think about it, if they WERE able to 'predict the future'...people would lining round the block to see them.

It's the same re psychics who predict and have predicted world events...they, sometimes, flukily predict one single world event, but never repeat it.

I still believe some people have the ability to correctly assess personalities, patterns, behaviours. It's a question of experience with human nature. But predicting the future... is another ballgame.

Although there was a suicide at work last night (at home, but a co-worker), and anyone could have predicted that.

by Anonymousreply 10June 2, 2015 11:35 AM

I've twice had astrologers look at my chart and advise on what was coming. And in both instances, they were spot on in their predictions. The predictions are not laid out in specific detail. But if you are advised that a particular three month period coming up is going to be fraught with complication and you experience nothing but unusual complication during that period, it counts. It was also helpful to know that things were predicted to get better after a certain date. And when they did, that counts, too.

An astrologer once told me that I was house-hunting, or soon would be doing so. I had purchased a co-op apartment the year before and could not believe that I would at any time in the 'foreseeable' future be interested in buying a house. The next year, things changed. I sold the co-op, at a profit, and bought a house at a great price.

The astrologer told me to be very diligent about issues in the upcoming purchase, which she was certain would occur, that related to water. Anything related to water. I remembered that and ordered a plumbing inspection, in addition to the building inspection. The plumbing inspection checked out beautifully and I made the purchase. Just to be sure, I immediately upgraded the aging roof.

After moving in, the basement leaked. There was also a grade problem in the backyard which exacerbated the leak. That was all fixed, and soon after, the city discovered an error in past water bills and sent me an invoice for $3,000. A few years later, there was some relatively minor structural damage that was related to past water leaks. That was fixed. The water pipe from the main to my neighbor's house ruptured late one night. Five homes had flooded basements that night, mine included.

Years later, I put that house up for sale. The house was a row house in Brooklyn. While in the process of selling, the next door neighbor fucked his own plumbing and caused a leak through the party wall into my house.

Every problem I had with the house over a period of 15 years was water related. The astrologer got that right.

My husband had an extremely eccentric Dutch grandad who, among other peculiarities, wore wooden clogs, a rope for a belt and had a pet tortoise.

One day I dragged him begrudgingly to a psychic fair and a woman came right up to him and gave him a message from an "elderly gentleman" and she described him down to a tee - even the tortoise!

He was stunned.

I no longer get eye-rolled at so often when I mention psychics.

I'm an eldergay, too. I've had two psychic readings and they were very specific and very scary. And they were accurate. The last time it happened was in 1993 and I've never done it again it was so frightening. Call me Mary! but that was my reaction.

The first one told me I'd have terrible job trouble and would be leaning on a friend. They also said someone powerful would look out for me and I had a circle of protection so that nothing bad would ultimately happen, but it would be an extremely difficult time. I asked how far into the future would it happen and they said "Oh, in a few months!" That came true. The second time, they told me my partner would become gravely ill and it would be a fatal illness. They told me that I would not abandon him, and that there would also be a terrible time ahead for a close family member. I have one sibling, and they had two years of terrible hard times, including a near fatal car accident. As for my partner, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and was dead within five years. So no more psychics.

The thing is, these weren't "party psychics" these were real people who were referred by someone I knew. Both of them refused money, because they said this "gift" was something that they couldn't charge for. It was just that they got these "impressions" of people and shared them.

by Anonymousreply 13June 2, 2015 2:47 PM

R13, that is the type of psychic I met too (except I was lucky, she prophesised nice things). She used tarot cards and said she only did it once in a while so as not to "use up" the gift nor abuse it. And she was the sister of a friend, she never charged for anything. She must have been like 22 at the time.

by Anonymousreply 14June 2, 2015 3:00 PM

I knew one in Brooklyn who could locate people, and through touch, could read a person's history and family stories and illnesses. I think she stopped doing it because of backlash and side-effects on her psyche. Peri Lion, or something. Flashes of very specific, complicated detail I was not even smart enough to absorb and follow completely, like a veiny lightning bolt. Could not possibly know those things about strangers. Didn't believe it before that, or much care, though I know one tech type who always knew your astro sign. Odd, but not interested enough to pursue. No doubt it will pursue me if I need it.

by Anonymousreply 15June 2, 2015 3:00 PM

I know one who I dont speak with often...shes far more accurate than anyone Ive ever met...to the point that she can predict things within about 15 min. I had a horrible fight with one of my exes...he to his parents house...4 hours away. For all intents and purposes, our relationship was over. She told me that within 10 min of me getting home, he would show up, be with a blonde guy, and driving a blue car...among other things. Well, it was 5 min, he showed up in a blue pontiac with his blonde cousin to get his clothes. The rest of her predictions came true as well. She told me I would have to move unexpectedly and I would end up surrounded by stone walls with lots of greenery. 3 weeks later my landlord informed me he was divorcing and selling the property...I ended up in a condo...and the patio is surrounded by a stone wall covered in ivy. She also told me my ex husband and I would end up back together ( we havent spoken in years) and that he secretly checks on me and drives by my home to see if Im with anyone else, but he doesnt have the courage to come to the door...I laughed and said it was impossible because my ex lived in New York (the last I had heard)...Im in Ohio...she said no, hes in California, he finally got a job in the film business...although its not what I think it is... but he keeps coming back to Ohio because one if not both of his parents are very ill, and that in the past few years he had been here at least a dozen times. She also told me he had been in and out of the hospital multiple times for some sort of addiction...not all rehab. I told her she was crazy. 3 years later, I run into an old friend. My ex had moved to California 5 yrs prior, ended up doing porn, was in and out of the hospital and rehab many times and is now clean, and hes been traveling back and forth because his father was very sick and ended up dying, and that his mother wasnt doing well. Ive not heard from him, but the psychic assures me that in the future we are getting back together. I agree, there are a majority of con artists out there, but some people truly do have a gift.

I used to be on a forum that was dedicated to things having to do with "the other world" (ghosts, angels, psychics, ect..) and this one physic was offering free readings online to a certain number of people. I managed to get a reading and really wasn't expecting anything worthy since 1. it was being done online and 2. I am very skeptical of people who call themselves "psychics". Its not that I don't believe in the paranormal (very much so!), its just that many of these people are just con artists looking for a quick buck or attention. Anyhow she asks me for a picture of my eyes which I send and she practically writes an essay about me and whoever was around me at the time (hey I was on there for a reason!). Keep in mind I never told her anything about me or my situation, the email I sent her was pretty much " I have a ghost around me can you tell me who it is" and she got everything down to the T after that. Pretty amazing.

I had a psychic approach me on the street to tell me that I was about to experience a big change in my life. She said the feeling was quite strong so she thought the change was imminent. Three days later I got a job interview, and after two years of being unemployed, I got the job.

I just wish she would have known that taking it was the biggest mistake I could make.

My dad always talks about the astrological reading his parents got on him when he was born. It was rather specific and much of it has come true.

It included things that came true like he will move to live in another country, have three children--two sons and one daughter, he will become a minor celebrity.

I told a psychic I was taking a trip to see friends. She told me that four days after I arrived, my host would take me outside after breakfast and give me a check, a gift, something he wanted to do for a long time but couldn't. (I had never, to my knowledge, done anything to deserve a gift.) She said it will be five figures.

Well, four days after I arrived, my host took me outside after breakfast and wrote me a check for $10,000 (I paid off a credit card). I asked why, and he said it was something he'd wanted to do for a long time.

I've also had experiences where the psychic was completely (and embarrassingly) wrong about some pretty important things.

I believe in it, but I wouldn't count on it.

Boring story. A gypsy woman gave my mom a mini reading on me, when I was a baby. I think I was around 5 months old. And before anyone asks, she wasn't trying to steal me, lol.

My mom and aunt were wandering around in a Swapmeet type place in Detroit. This older Russian gypsy walks up to my mother, and grabs my left hand. Not aggressively, if that makes sense. She held on, and gently rubbed it. My aunt freaked out, and was about to knock her out. She told them she meant no harm. She wanted to read me. My mom figured what the hell. She was already here, and she has a funny story to tell later on.

She told them I would be left handed, very creative, and a gifted artist. Mom tried to give her money, but she refused it. Thanked them for their time, and walked away.

Well, she was right. It really impressed the teachers at school, and I remember them pushing for me to go to some type of art school. I didn't . It's a fun hobby and all, but you can't really make a living off of drawing and painting these days.

I do Tarot readings and sometimes I get a really strong contact with a lot of details. But other times, its a mess from beginning to end. The worst readings involve me over-interpreting the impressions I get. Most of the time I don't charge, but now and then I do a psychic fair and a few years ago I had an office and did them professionally. I will be immodest and say flat out that I am good at it. Not perfect, but good. However, I have known some that were lousy at it but their clients like them anyway. Those are the ones that give the rest of us a bad name. Well, those and the blatant frauds who just do it for the money.

I can sometimes get specific names and even descriptions of people. Now and then a deceased relative or even a spirit guide comes through. I kind of dislike those because it's always emotional for the client and I don't need the hassle, but if they show up I assume there is a reason for it. I've also had a couple of readings where the client got up and walked out because I scared them. It creeps some people out.

If a reader seems shady or shifty, stay away; they probably are. If they are very accurate, still think about it and make sure it's not just obvious stuff anyone would guess. But now and then you find one who is amazing.

R37 here. Why some and not others? I think that everyone is better at picking up certain things. Things that speak to them on some level, or that resonate (for lack of a better word) with their own feelings or interests. It's like if your favorite color is red, you might pay more attention to red cars than blue ones.

I have a friend who can tell you about any number of your past lives but not much about your current one. He is about as sensitive to peoples' feelings as a brick. Also, he's a goofball and can hardly get out of his own way when it comes to his own personal life. His readings are amazing, though.

I have another friend who can answer yes or no questions about future evens with great accuracy, as long as they are basic and not complex questions. But her love life is an absolute disaster. Her radar doesn't work with her own romances. Also, she can hold a conversation with a ghost (earthbound spirit) but isn't tolerant of other (living) peoples' dramas at all.

In my case ... well, some people seem more open to me; almost as though everything about them floats in the air around them and all you have to do is reach up and pluck facts out of their auras like picking an apple off a tree. Usually reading those peoples' emotions and occasionally even their thoughts is not at all difficult. And then, some people are so closed off that they almost don't seem real, as though they are robots or something that looks and sounds human but don't feel human at all. Most people fall somewhere in the middle. The Tarot for me is a way to find out about a person sort of indirectly, like looking at someone in a mirror instead of full on. Reading someone directly sometimes gives too much energy or information and makes it difficult to sort it out. The cards let you look at only small pieces of the puzzle instead of the whole thing at once. The trick is not to make assumptions and just to communicate what you get. Don't over-interpret.

I hope that answers your question. And r38, I don't do well at phone readings, so unless you live in the northwest and in my city, I don't think I can do much for you.

I would like to go and have a reading to find out if my daughter will get divorced from her psycho husband soon and contact me. But I can't seem to get a referral and don't want to contact just anyone, as I am also a bit afraid of the outcome... so I won't go. I'll just wait it out.

At a party many yrs ago I didn't know one of the guests was a psychic until she approached me. She was very accurate. She started telling me things she couldn't have possibly known. She also predicted something that came true. But that was many yrs ago and I don't know where she is now, otherwise I would contact her about my daughter. You really have to be careful. Some of them will tell you anything and take your money.

I've gone to 3 in LA.

I also asked her about my future and if my aspirations would come true, I phrased the question including the name of an inspiration song I had written and she answered me with nearly an exact, random line from the song I had written which was kind of eerie. For the 3rd one, Fleur Stone, I wrote about 50 things from my past that I printed and put on my wall and spoke to my 4 dead grandparents almost every day saying "if you can see this bring up these things at my reading..." I even wrote the date and time of the reading. She was somewhat on point, but didn't mention a single thing on my list.

I do my own tarot readings to get a general sense of clarity (before I do the reading I meditate - concentrate on my breathing - for about five minutes, then I spend another five minutes shuffling the cards while concentrating on my question) or make a decision on what I should focus my attention to. One day a total stranger (a woman) on a street smiled at me and grabbed me for a quick second while saying "You have the cleanest aura I've ever encountered". Then she let go and we went our separate ways.

I guess I am too jaded to consult a fortune teller or something like that (or because I don't believe in others telling me what to do or what is good for me).

Many years ago I was dining with my GF at an outdoor café in South Beach when this "psychic" sat down next to us and offered to do a reading.....honestly I thought she said some very generic stuff that somehow impressed my gullible and quite tipsy GF...... when she saw I wasn't impressed she told me that a had I curse on my vagina, which of course she would remove for a price.....next thing I know she jumps up from the table and bolts from the restaurant and starts running down the street ducking and weaving between cars as two Miami policemen chased her.....it was pretty crazy....... the idiot wait staff had vouched for her insisting that she was legit.

Another time I was invited to a party where a medium was to give people readings.....first off I thought it was extremely unprofessional to give intimate readings in front of a group of people .......nonetheless the crowd of mostly artistic and "new age" types thought she was just the cat's pajamas......the more she got them worked up with wild predictions of romance and fortune the more they loved it and fed off of the groups collective enthusiasm.....long story short I did a little research on this scammer and found that she was under investigation by the Feds no less for fraud and money laundering......she simply went by the name Ortalia, but her real name was Shoshana Brown.....she claimed to channel the spirit Red Feather ( whatever the fuck that means....it was brilliant, that Native American spirit thing really hooked the suckers ).....a talented, very good looking and charismatic woman I could see why she was a successful scammer.......she wasn't flaky or aloof like a stereotypical psychics, she was an extremely intelligent con artist, uniquely talented on honing in people's vulnerabilities and feigning real compassion and empathy....it was quit a performance .....she even ran one of those pyramid "table" scams for a while until of course she bled the pool of "gifters" ( those at the bottom of the pyramid ) dry and it was being widely reported in the media that the IRS was cracking down on her particular table scam.....she lived in NYC, but would bolt to LA when things got hot in NYC......she is dead now, died pretty young of ovarian cancer I believe. Anyhow, she had real "talent" IMHO she would have blown Sylvia Browne or John Edwards out of the water.

She made a spectacular living in Miami though she never charged for readings,people would give her jewelry and money and objects de art out of gratitude. When she would come up to n. fla to visit she'd have dozens of people wanting to see her. Unlike a lot of readers,she didn't hold back what she saw,and sometimes the news wasn't good but she was never wrong. I was afraid of her power(though I loved HER to death) so I only let her read my cards one time,and she proceeded to pull out stuff that NOT ONE person but me knew.

They timed the bosses she had and that the 2nd boss would arrive in 4 years . The psychic dude said the 2nd boss would be the most difficult /her greatest trial ( the second boss was hired in 1996 ish ) . He and my mothers (opposite zodiac signs to boot) used to have legendary bitch fests at work to the point all their friends and colleagues hated both of them . The man finally got another job around 2002 , but not before he tried so damn hard for YEARS to get my mother and 4 other women he hated fired. Maybe it was just guesswork by the psychic, but considering the field my mother was in, one does not simply get hired as an administrator easily.

As for myself , there was an Albanian chick who basically cold-read me and fed me pandering bullshit. If any of you are ever in the Georgetown District of Washington, D.C. that is where I met her about 4 years ago. She had a palm reading sign on the outside. I did a term paper on the paranormal once. So, when she read my left had and did not take notice of the 4 !!! triangles in my left hand ( I have 3 triangles inside of one) , I decided to just feign shock and concern with my face to see where her pandering would go. It ended with " You have negative energy blocking your success, I will remove this for you" " How... I mean what do I need to do?" " Go down the street there , turn right and there is an ATM. You will give me 200 dollars , and I will remove this energy for you." I mainly did it b/c I was bored and had to wait on a friend. Mine's was BS , but my mother I often wonder how much of it was guesswork.

My Grandmother was psychic. She never did readings for money, but whenever she said something would happen, it did. Usually, these things were negative either for the person involved or their immediate loved ones. For example, she knew a young man would die in an accident. He was a good kid, happy go lucky, but she just saw it. She knew it would happen and viewed it as God's will.

I also had a client once, a Sicilian, who read cards. She was uncannily accurate in describing to me things no one knew. She also didn't charge for readings, and did them only because she wanted to help people.

What's with all the nelly psychics these days? You've got Van Praagh, Tyler Henry, Matt Fraser. Limited Edition Vuitton Purses fall from each of their mouths while giving a reading.

I definitely believe in them, have had some incredible readings, and I'm a big old skeptic.

Assuming that psychic powers were real, why would they be able to predict the future? That would negate choice and elasticity completely. Everything would have to be preordained.

I got an amazing reading from this one. My Dad died and was considered a local legend in our town as the resident new age shrink. Everyone loved him, but he was hard to deal with within our own family. No physical abuse but he betrayed each one of us and played us off each other in very negative ways. I'd been to psychics before who raved about him and told me (just like everybody I still run into in my hometown) how lucky I was to have this man as my father. But this woman told the truth about him. I was shocked at how detailed she was and even kind of defended him, but she said he was a bad man, that he betrayed his patients as well. (His last wife was one of his patients.)

Interesting question. Psychic will tell you that "timing" is the hardest thing for them. Maybe they are seeing the result once choice and elasticity have run their course.

I'm intuitive enough. I never thought I needed a psychic. I didn't believe or disbelieve, it was just a point of pride. I guess I believed a bit because when a friend to me with her to a psychic training institute she was into, I figured at least some of them would be also be able to intuit things and I got competitive.

Some of them picked up on some stuff, but expressed it in metaphorical terms. It wasn't anything I didn't know. So it was kinda cool because it implied the ability to connect on a mental/psychological level, but ultimately nothing I couldn't do myself.

Far more interesting to me in the woo category is "healing powers". I've been blasted at least twice, so much so that it was like a drug. I don't know if I was "healed", but I was certainly high as a kite. I'd compare it to a friend who can lift your mood, only far more intense and directed.

Forgot the story: they told my friend we were refugees together in a past life and wouldn't talk to anyone else, only each other which accurately describes our college life in reincarnational metaphor. They told her menopausal mom she had seven baby spirits around her. (She had lost seven kids.) They told another friend who had body dysmorphia she had "an alien" sitting on her area of greatest insecurity. They told me I had a past life as a pirate captain, which again used metaphor to describe certain music/travel tendencies I had at the time, but that could have easily been intuited through my style,

I have had far more accurate 'psychic' experiences than this through dreams, but they weren't wrong either. The seven babies one was the most impressive.

I had a good astrological reading. I was told I had been in an obscure period and now I was emerging and encouraged to try new things. Cut to 4 months later and I am starting a new job, have joined a tennis league and improved my play, and decided to take my art/painting to the next level. All of this may not mean shit but even if it had a placebo affect it gave me a kick in the ass.

Just for the heck of it years ago my secretary, a friend of ours, and I each sent by mail a deck of ordinary playing cards to a "reader" who had been recommended to us. This person was on the far side of the state and had never met or even heard of any of us.

We were to shuffle the deck. I don't recall if we sent the full deck or just a certain number of cards but having shuffled and cut we were to bind them with a rubber band in the she would examine the "aura" of the cards. My two friends each received a disturbingly accurate read on themselves, but my reply said my black aura could not be penetrated.

I recently went to a large group reading with Thomas John, Seatbelt Psychic, and he was incredible. Unlike John Edwards saying "I'm get a male M name," this guy would say "Who is Melanie?" and the person would say "that's my mom who died." Then, he was say 3-5 other names and the person being read would confirm that those names were all people who are close to them. He did this with about 10 different readings. Very impressive.

Yes. Was at an event with a phsychic who could tell I didn’t want a reading,

Essentially predicted my partner would have a specific life-threatening condition, which he did.

Coincidence? Maybe.

Yep, read by none other than Karen Cornell; yes, THE Karen Cornell. Accurate, all of it.

Years, many years, later, I was clearing out storage closets to relocate. While doing so, I found my old backpack I'd used then. Digging through its pockets before discarding it, I'd found the business card she'd given to me.

At the end of the reading, she told me about herself, and her reading Cards; then she'd mentioned her son, who was in a " local rock band." Though she'd never disclosed her son's name, she had shared her pride in him.

I had maybe four, five readings in my life ('m including tarot readings here). Every reading was positive. None of the good things happened.

One reading predicted back and dental issues. Sure enough, I had sciatica and had to deal with my first toot implant two years later.

Sigh.

[quote] Has anyone here had a good astro chart analysis done?

Other then simple coincidence how could they? Since the classical constellations were named the the stars have moved into different positions so all the calculations are based on incorrect assumptions.

The constellations have drifted out by a whole month, it was revealed on the BBC’s Stargazing Live. Since the zodiac was created over 2,000 years ago, the wobbling effect of the Earth caused by the moon and the sun has meant that the stars that are above us have shifted.

If, for example, someone was born towards the end of January, they might think they were born under Aquarius. But in fact they’d have been born under Capricorn, Dr Radmilla Topalovic, an astronomer from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich pointed out on the programme.

When the zodiac was devised by the ancient Greeks, people were assigned star signs based on the constellation that was behind the sun at that time. But the constellations are now out by about a month.

The wobbling process is called precession — it has been likened to the Earth behaving like a spinning top — and takes about 26,000 years to happen.

That means that 86% of people are now living under the wrong sign, according to the BBC. Stargazing Live created an interactive graphic that allows people to work out what their star sign really is.

Roughly 20 years ago I was going through a rough patch workwise, the details of which aren't relevant. I can ruminate (brood, stew, worry) with the best of them, and I couldn't figure out what I should do. One day a coworker just happened to mention that she'd been to a party where there was a psychic, I think doing readings as part of the entertainment, and she had the woman's phone number. I had never thought about psychics at all, but at the time I was so anxious that I called her. It wasn't very much money; $30 for a half hour reading.

So I went to her house. She was just a very normal-looking woman; nice enough looking, just regular clothes (you can see I had some preconceived notions). Her natural personality is warm and friendly, so I liked her pretty much right off the bat, but she asked me if I was nervous, which I was.

Then she asked: "Do you have a pair of saddle oxfords?" Kind of dumbfounded, I said, yes. At the time they were the shoes I wore to work almost every day. It wasn't like they were spats or anything, but I might have been the only man in an office building of about 1,000 wearing saddle oxfords. (They were from Johnston & Murphy; I wear a narrow size, and it's always been hard to find shoes; I got them mainly because they fit and weren't the most old-man-looking shoes that did—if you wear an A or B width, you know what I'm talking about.)

She goes on to say: "Because all day long I've been seeing images of a man wearing saddle oxfords." So. That was weird, and right on the nose. I thought later, well, she could have some way found that out about me in order to get me to believe her predictions. But then I thought: Like she's going to do that level of reconnaissance for $30?

She had a deck of cards, I suppose tarot cards, and they were laminated, I guess because she used them constantly. We sat at a dining table, and I would ask a question, then she would shuffle the cards, and then turn some over on the table and kind of gaze around, then she would tell me something. She would say: "They're showing me...[whatever it was]."

She told me something very specific about my future career ("They're showing me [an element of something you'd be working with]." She then gave some advice about how to go about my next move, i.e., making a change. It was her own interpretation of what she'd seen, and her advice about how to go about it was a little bit off. But the meat of the matter, she was dead right about.

I know there are skeptics here who will probably insult me for writing this. And in the case of someone claiming to be a psychic asking leading questions, etc., and then making "predictions" that just come from being a skilled listener, I understand the skepticism. All I can say is the shoe thing came out of the blue; it was basically the first thing she said to me after hello. And then the work thing, well, all I can say is that she was right. She was a nice lady and I liked her, and I believe she had some kind of talent, gift...whatever you want to call it.

I went to a well known psychic in the Philadelphia area—Mr. Dee. This was in the 80s before the internet. He was incredibly spot on about my work, past college etc. nothing particular about the future but he was definitely gifted.

I went to a psychic once with a friend just for fun. She told me to hang on a little longer because that promotion at work you have been expecting is right around the corner and your partner will soon be committing to the long term relationship you have always wanted. I told her I was unemployed and single and I wasn't paying her shit but I'm sure that wasn't news to her since she clearly knew the future.
