Did You Ever?

[CailinDeas]

Visit a fortune teller/clairvoyant etc? Did what was said make any sense to you?

[craft1948]

I had a tarot reading, which was quite expensive and turned out to be rubbish.

[Baby_Sham]

I've been to see 'celeb' ones a few times. Colin Fry, Tony (can't even remember his surname) and Sally Morgan. They were all crap.

[grasscarp]

I visited a woman in a kiosk on a seafront many years ago, not expecting much at all. One of the things she said to me was very strange but surprisingly correct. They may just be guessing and saying anything, but it has often come up in my mind and made me quite happy.

[nungate]

Yes I have and this woman knew nothing about me not even my name. Yet she knew I was wearing a ring which was not mine (I was wearing gloves at the time) it belonged to my daughter who had been left it by my n mother in law (I had permission to wear it) and she told me many things that were only known to me, so I was once a sceptic now not so much

[craft1948]

I'd forgotten the seaside ones. I visited one in Bridlington when I was 16, she told me I wouldn't stay with the boyfriend I had then, but would marry the one I met next.................spookily she was correct.

[nungate]

A bigger cynic never walked the face of this planet than me - I am not suggestible I told her nothing about myself yet there were many things she could not have known - she described my late father and that he had a small white dog with him - I'd only gone along with a friend as a bit of a giggle I was very surprised at what I was told. I was asked no questions either (I'd have been very reluctant to volunteer any information anyway)

[Sparkles62]

I am very sceptical about things like this , but went to one on my sisters birthday years ago,
there were a crowd of us at my sisters, everybody sat in the garden chatting, waiting to go into the living room for their 'turn'.
I went to my Mums and waited to be called ( I thought he was prob listening to all the chat in the garden )
I went in when it was my turn, and I wrote everything down that he told me.
I was recently divorced ( i had marks on my finger from wearing my wedding ring )
I would meet a man with very little hair, who was divorced , with two children.
I would fall in love and marry this man. ( I was single, had been for 4 years, and not dating)
One of my children would work in the film industry.
and when I was 51 I would get a huge amount of money, not by marrying into it, it was coming to me.



I met my bald man, with his two kids, married him.
on of my daughters has done some modelling work and was in the film Huq last year.
I was 51 in feb.
I'm just waiting to win the lottery or something now, to finish off his predictions. lol. X

I think it's a load of tosh. Many moons ago I worked with a woman who went to a spiritualist church and believed every word that was said. I wasn't surprised when her husband left her. When her kids reached 16 they left too.

[Cloverjo]

I once went to a spiritualist church wanting to believe in spiritualism, but wasn't quite convinced. I left knowing it was a load of rubbish.
Slightly before that, I went to a Tarot card reader. I can't remember anything she said, but I know it would have been a load of tosh, also.

[beezaneez]

there is definately something in it, i was a sceptic but visited one a while back and she told me at least 5-6 truths that have since come true. dont have time or space to write what she told me but now i know that it is definately not a load of crap

[mikey4444]

Why on earth would any intelligent visit a fortune teller ?

[jomifl]

No

[dizmouk2009]

I personally haven't but my sister in law has and she came back looking white as a ghost.

She told her things about my Grandma that I know for a clear fact she didn't know anything about. Not even I knew and didn't believe a word of it until my sister in law was telling my mum what had been said. My mum nearly passed out. The information given by the clairvoyant to my sister in law was about a disturbing time my Grandma had, so much so it affected my mum that bad she had to go to a councillor to try and get through it.

I'm scared to death of the clairvoyants. If they really do have that ability then I don't want to know what's going to happen to me and if they are just con people then that is an invasion of my private and personal space.

[venator]

No. I'm totally sceptical about this sort of thing.

However, I'm interested in Chinese philosophy, and have Wilhelm's book on the I Ching. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching

I've interpreted the answers to friends' questions for fun, and every now and then it comes up with something startlingly accurate, and several people keep coming back for more.

Still don't believe in any of it, though...

[sara3]

many years ago, I saw a few... all complete rubbish

[sara3]

I have a friend who thinks their great. she comes back saying things like "she said "she said she was speaking with a John, so it must have been Jim.. " etc.

if you want to believe you either give everything away when you're chatting, or try to make it fit with what's real.

[sara3]

*they're

[jim360]

I can't say with 100% certainty that there is nothing in what a clairvoyant says. Even if there's nothing mystical about it (abilities as yet unknown to science) it's possible that such people have become skilled at "reading" people. On the other hand people like nungate ought to at least consider the possibility that the old lady said the same thing to everyone she met that day, and so that nungate was merely the "right one".

Either way, there is almost certainly nothing in it, especially if someone charges you for a reading.
