Have You Ever Been Tricked By Someone Claiming To Be Able To Contact The Dead?

[naomi24]

Driving home today I was listening to Jeremy Vine interviewing A J West about his new book, 'The Spirit Engineer', which examines, among other things, the reality or otherwise of the spirit world and the trickery used by charlatans to convince people that they are actually contacting the dearly departed. Mr West threw out a couple of 'cold' readings and asked listeners to phone in if they thought anything he said referred to them personally. I arrived home before anyone called so I've no idea of the outcome. Interesting nonetheless.

So … have you ever been tricked by a trickster - and when did you realise you had?

"Deluded and liars" were your words. Not mine. Get a grip.

[naomi24]

I have a grip. I didn’t say I suspect everyone is deluded. You did.

So, who was it who decided "deluded" was an appropriate word here?

[pixie374]

oww !
20 posts of needless carping...my words that is !

They are "unexplained" because nobody knows.
Same as religion.

not really: either you dont know what supernatural means or religion means or both

religion recognises supernatural as - - not explained by current principles of physics. Let us call a thing a thing and not another thing.

such principles cover energy and psychic energy.

and a soul weighing 21 g - ref anyone ?
In the book of the Dead - the dead pharaoh would have his soul weighed agains a feather. Tooheavy eaten by a waiting crocdile headed monster.... - we're not saying its real are we?

we may be
