Anyone ever visited a legit Psychic medium?

As questioned. I mean a person that sat in front of you and told 50 things spot on with names numbers etc. I mean told you stuff about your family you didn’t know but you family later verified. I mean hit the nail on the head with 10 family members and friends.

Nothing vague nothing mushy. I’ve heard of such a person, I’m not recommending anybody to anyone. Just a question.

Anyone ever?

It can happen. A psychic was sent to see me to offer insight in a criminal investigation. She basically told me the victim knew who did it, but she gave me a lot of information about myself and the other officer that was with me.

She described my relationship with my wife, telling me that she was the love of my life, that I would have a daughter, and my only real health problem would be a bad shoulder.

She was totally wrong. The wife and I had a very rocky relationship. I was dead set on never having another child with her. A lot of people have shoulder issues.

A few years later my mother passed away. I asked my wife to have another child. With in a week my wife was pregnant. We hadn't used birth control in 10 years. We had a daughter. The middle son is 10 years older. The relationship continued to be rocky. We were separated 3 times, and most of the time I was with her it was begrudgingly. After 29 years I realized she is the love of my life. Nobody else would have stood with me through all the bad she did. My right shoulder hurts like a bitch every day. The rest of me feels great.

Believe what you want. Maybe she guessed well, maybe she knew and saw it. Haven't thought about it for years but after reading your post it made me think of that night.

My wife saw one when she was young. She told me the psychic told her a few things that were spot on. One was that she would have problems walking and that she has psychic powers of her own and should develop them. My wife is now recovering from a knee replacement surgery due to total bone on bone knee degeneration. When I knew her and then married her, which was years after her visit, she didn't have an inkling of a knee problem at all. She is only 53. Take what you want of this, but "a lucky guess" is about as nonsensical an explanation as it gets. My wife to this day will have weird thoughts on things happening that I (being very scientific and logical) will dismiss as just a passing feeling she has. She has been right on weird things more than I care to admit (to her anyway).

My grandfather was a Reverend. He was highly thought of in the community. He wasn't the best person by a long shot in his early years but told me he was given a "choice" to either turn it around or die. A telephone pole fell while working and landed on him. It split on his head. He said that was when he was given the "choice" by God and chose the better. He has performed an exorcism confirmed by many including his brother who was also a Reverend. The 12 year old girl that it was performed on died later on and did not live too many years after the exorcism. The story from his brother who tried to see the girl before my grandfather who was unavailable at the time was spooky in itself. His brother was a big, strong guy. He worked for Chevron at the time and routinely lifted full 55 gallon drums of petroleum products. He said when he got to the property he couldn't open his truck door like it was being held shut. He said once he finally got it open, he couldn't swing open the simple swing gate for the yard like something was holding it shut. Once he finally got that open he said as soon as he stepped foot in the gate, all the hair on his neck stood up like something was on him. Crazy - and he was not the story telling type. He said my Grandfather was not happy with him because if you don't know what you are doing, "it" can get you. Kind of like these mediums messing with the supernatural. Bad news.

I knew a girl that was a friend with occasional benefits that I hung out with in my younger years. She was going through some personal problems (more than she let on I guess). I asked my grandfather for a favor to talk to her about because she was having problems and help provide her some guidance. On the drive over to my Grandfather, she told me she had at times contemplated killing herself. I was shocked because I would have never guessed that she had those thoughts by the way she carried herself and how she looked externally. When we got to my Grandfather, there was the usual hello's and pleasantries. Most of the questions were about how we were friends and how we met and the like. Nothing real serious. He then prayed and after that gave her his Bible and said open it. She opened it and then the pertaining Chapter was read from the pages that she opened. After that was a hair standing moment. He got real serious and his demeanor changed and he got close to her and stared right into her eyes and said, "Tell me, have you ever thought about killing yourself?" Talk about bone chilling. She said "yes" and instantly started crying and he said "I know you did, because this (the Bible chapter) is what it's telling me. Let me tell you, you have no right to do that. Your life was given to you as a gift by God and you have no right take that gift away". That, my friends, is as real as it gets.

2 quick stories.

1st story. We are Catholic and my grandmother was a very die hard religious person. Her name was Mary. In 1960 my mother went back to Italy to visit family and during the trip she was lucky enough to have her Virgin Mary pendant blessed by the Pope. When she got back from Italy she gave it to my grandmother. In 1970 my grandmother developed Scleroderma and in 1972 died from complications of it. About 2 weeks before she died she went into a coma and the Dr's said it was just a matter of time. My mother took all of her jewelry off of her and put it into her jewelry box. The Virgin Mary pendant was part of that jewelry. The Monday before she died she came out of the coma. My mother and her sister happened to be there when this happened. My grandmother only said a few words and went right back into the coma. They were "Come Wednesday the funeral is Friday, I love you all." She died later that night. She didn't want her family to see her in an open casket and that is why she said that. A couple of weeks later when they were going through her stuff the opened up the jewelry box and found the Virgin Mary pendant. There was a crack from the 1 o clock position on the medal going down about 3/4 the length of the pendant and right through the Virgin Mary's heart! The pendant did not have a crack in it when they took it off of her in the hospital.

2nd story. I have the pendant now and my mother gave it to me when I went into the Army back in 85. One night back in 1990 I was having a nightmare. I was in this room sleeping and the bedroom had these french doors going out to a balcony on the 2nd floor of the house. . In my dream these 2 red eyes were coming through the air. The french doors flew open and before the eyes could get into the room I grabbed my Virgin Mary pendant and prayed to my grandmother to protect me from the devil trying to get into my room. As I started to pray to her for protection the eyes stopped and then reversed and faded away. I awoke right after the eyes were gone and I was soaked in sweat! It was like I had gotten out of the shower and never dried off. That is the most terrified I have ever been. I firmly believe she saved me from Satan that night.

Whether Psychics are true or not I'm not going mess with them. I believe that Satan is real and that the supernatural easily can have a very dark side to it.

The mind is an amazing, unknown, and potentially scary piece of equipment. I have never believed that people possess psychic abilities. I usually chalk that up to, as others have said, being astute observers of human behavior, and one's own mind. Same thing with ghosts - you can convince yourself of anything, perhaps without even knowing you're doing it.

I have not had any encounter with a psychic but my wife has. Her brother died unexpectedly in college from an illness and they had experienced several occurrences (positive things) after his death to indicate his spirit was still around. A year or two later, my wife and her parents were on the James Van Praagh show "The Other Side". The things he told them about their son and how his spirit was ok and still around gave them comfort. Mr. Van Praagh had never met them before and details were spot on.

A few weeks ago, my wife went to a reading at a colleague's home where several other people had come for information or contact by loved ones. Again, this psychic was able to give details that only my wife could know and indicated her brother's spirit is still around.

I am not into the whole predict your future thing, but when it comes to an individual having the ability to communicate to loved ones whom have passed away, I am a believer. Just because something is hard to believe for us or seems impossible, doesn't make it so. Take it for what you will.

I had a roommate. Her brother died of an opiate overdose. A few weeks later, her phone started ringing. It said it was him. She answered it.

...it was a telemarketer who had spoof'd his phone number.

Heydrick was a major clown who developed his sideshow tricks in prison. His only uniqueness was to incorporate martial arts and claim "psychic chi power."

I didn't know anything about him but after reading your post I read that he had several TV appearances in the early 80's despite being a violent ex-con. He eventually used his telekinisis con act to molest 5 boys in California in the late 80's. He has been held in Coalinga State Hospital ever since.

Such as? They tend to say general positive things people want to hear about their loved one, and that turns on their connection. "He was a very creative and curious kid wasn't he?"

"It took him a while to get settled in school, but once he did, he was popular"

etc, etc. They watch the minor facial expression and body language changes to see if they are headed in the right direction, and change their approach based on that. The poeople then tend to pay attention to what the psychic gets right and ignore what they get wrong, and off it goes.

Some are extremely good at that.

Now, if they said something like "your son was 21 when he died, was wearing a blue ACDC shirt, and was reading the Bible" when he died, I'd be a believer.

I do find this stuff fascinating and am agnostic about it, but seen that show and others, and noted how they tend to work. They lead, start vague, etc:
