After a traumatic bereavement
which left my family distraught for a long time, my sister suggested that I could try a visit to a spiritualist medium.

She'd heard good things about a particular one and I allowed myself to be talked into it.

Off I went, on Halloween no less.

The 'medium' decided that the person I'd lost was male, (correct) and was often with me at night, (possibly) leering as I undressed. (My own son does this?)

I'm not sure how this fitted together with her belief that I was a lonely Lesbian sports teacher. (I was newly married and straight, wearing trackies that night.)

But love was out there for me - I just had to be patient.

There was lots more crap and I soon began openly laughing at her. She couldn't have got me more wrong if she'd been blindfolded.

I won't be trying that again.

There are many ways you can mess with a psychic's head
My number one is to buy tickets to a Derek Ac*r*h gig in the name of Mr Andrej Rzczepzinksi, and wait for the fraud to go into a trance and say "I'm getting a... Polish gentleman" as the spotlight falls in the vicinity of of your seat.

More ways to mess with the "Psychics"
Talk to the people in the foyer before the gig, and make up complete lies. Often, some of them are plants that will feed the lies back to the "psychic". Respond positively till half way through the reading, then express surprise that the spirits know about the pack of lies you made up.

If you get into a one-on-one reading, simply acknowledge all their guesses with a leading "OK...". Since they get no feedback from you, their cold reading techniques fail and they flounder terribly.

Have someone you know give you an old article that belonged to one of their relatives, that they know all about, but about whom you know nothing. Ask the psychic to read the item for you. See how much info they probe you for.

Ah, yup, I purposely didn't give out any helpful information.
Maybe that's where I went wrong.

Also, I need to get in touch with my Inner Lesbian Sports Teacher.

The tale of my older brother

Lovely guy, fantastic father to his kids and textbook husband.

After being married for near 20 years to an abusive alcoholic he took it all ... for the sake of the kids.

Until she started proclaiming that she was now able to talk with the dead and her talents should be respected.

They Divorced. Father and kids doing very well ... batshit for brains looney alcoMom .. who cares ?
