Anyone ever been to a medium?

[shmee]

I think we had this discussion on TD but whatever. Has anyone ever seen a medium before? I haven't, but I was recently at a baby shower and one of my friends was telling me about her experience with one and it was so intriguing. I'm actually now debating shelling out the money to go see the same one myself, but my husband thinks I'm nuts. I probably am.

Anyone have any cool stories?

There are a lot of quacks out there so keep that in mind, but YES.

I go to a psychic in Woodstock,NY. My mother has been to her and my best friend and I go up there regularly for readings. I cannot even get into some of the things she has shared ( in the final hour of the 3 hour test and am slowly fading) but it is fascinating.
She actually just published a book (they found her; she did not seek it out.) it is called the Reluctant Psychic.

She does not tell me bad things, but she talks about my job, my health, my family. She predicted it would be easy to get pregnant the first time (true) but that it was going to be a boy (wrong) so I am not feeling the love on that.

She shares messages from people who have passed (including animals) which is really special and fascinating. She also advises in many ways but more than anything, it makes me feel good about life and where I Am headed and the decisions I am making.

I feel very strongly about this subject. I personally think it's bs and it disgusts me because I think they prey on vulnerable people who have lost loved ones.

I can understand that sentiment, but I don't think they necessarily prey on them. Capitalize on their vulnerability? Sure. But I think *most* people who seek out psychics or mediums know that there's a good chance it's all bullshit.

True. Prey wasn't the right word you phrased it better.

YES!! a few times!! and overtime was amazing!!

When one of my best friends passed away we had a medium come to her house and she came through! The medium said things she could never possibly ever know about things me and only Gina knew. She even told me that I needed to get my car looked at because I had a transmission problem, and I DID! HAHA it was crazy! We were all bawling our eyes out!

Another Medium I had gone to she didn't read me but she read my grandparents. My great grandma raised chickens and had a bunch of them. She told my grandparents that she sees her and then she started bocking like a chicken all of a sudden! .. It was crazy! and than she said she was with Lyman (my GG) super happy.

I definitely believe in mediums. While I've never had an experience with them personally, I've always wanted to. In October my mother and I went to see Theresa Caputo (Long Island Medium) live and she is seriously legit. It was such an amazing experience. She spent over 2 hours walking around and giving people messages from loved ones beyond the grave. It was incredible and you could tell it was very real and she had facts to go along with it so it wasn't generalized. The emotion from the people she read was unbelievable.

No!! Don't tell me this!! What inspired me to post this thread was that she's coming here in April, and I considered going for a second. But then I saw the price and was like nah, I'm good. Now I really want to go again.

I want to go see her again in April!! I was going to ask my mom if she wanted to take the trip!! Seriously she is worth the cost. Even if she didn't read me specifically, it was amazing!

allisong87 oh shit, maybe I'll see you there!

[allisong87]

Ive seen Maureen Hancock a few times, she's based mainly in New England I think, But If She comes to your area or your from around here she's worth checking out!, She puts on a show and is hilarious, but than you cry because she can read emotional things for people!. We loved it! Id like to see Teresa Cuputo too!!

Yes-- twice.

Experience 1: I went to talk to one to be able to speak to my grandmother Vivien who visits me often. During the medium session, Vivien came to her and told her that she wanted me to have this art pen that is in a book in my dad's closet. She also said I was pregnant with a girl and she was beautiful and had my eyes. At that time, I was 6 weeks pregnant and hadn't told anyone yet. I did end up having a daughter, and she does have my eyes. Also-- I went to my dad about the art pen, and he was shocked and gave it to me. No one would ever know where that pen was.

Experience 2: I went to see who would show this time since I had a ton of random people trying to contact me. Showing up in my yard. In my hallway. In my bedroom. As I was talking to her, my aunt that died from Cancer spoke to me telling me to stop feeling bad for not seeing her at the hospital before she passed (I had to work and couldn't leave). My grandfather told me the man of my dreams was on his way (a week later, I met DH). Then-- the strangest thing happened. The medium said she kept getting interrupted by a man that REALLY wanted to talk to me. He was a heavier set man and was frantic. She started talking to him and her temple hurt really bad (they can feel what others died from). He explained he was friends with my dad, and just killed himself yesterday with a shot gun, and wanted to tell my dad he was sorry, and he did it because his ex-wife wouldn't get back with him and he couldn't live without her, so he killed himself. I called my dad after the session, and he was completely shocked. He said "How did you know that? I never told anyone Dave died, and certainly not about the suicide."

Due to my faith, I have always stayed clear of mediums. Not my cup of tea!
