She said many of the people there wanted to connect with their lost pets. The pet people outnumbered the people people. Just an observation she had.
Anyway, she wanted to speak with my grandmother (her mother). She told me what the medium said. I didn't believe any of it because none of it sounded like my grandmother. It sounded like generic things that you'd think someone who has passed on would feel, but my grandmother was very clear in her life how she felt about the things my mom asked about. So. Yeah.
Random but my mom can read your future in greek coffee cups. Her friends will come over and ask for greek coffee and then flip their cups over expectantly. It drives my dad crazy. We were just saying the other day how it would be a great backup career for when they lose the restaurant, lol.
If you don't drink greek (or turkish) coffee, that's what it looks like:

I love your mom!
One of Lucy's friends' moms is a medium/psychic (two-for-one!). My mom talks to her sometimes. I think what she says is really generic but my mom is convinced. I don't want to talk to her- I wonder if she knows I think she's an ass because her kids aren't vaxed.
My SIL's boyfriend's mother is a medium. SIL complains about how she has to be quiet when she's doing a reading or whatever it's called. eta: they live together and she works out of the home.
I saw one after my dad had passed. She said some thing that were interesting and made me wonder because they were pretty specific to me, while other things felt like she pulled out of her ass. I left feeling pretty much like I did before - not inspired, but not hopeless either. Maybe it was my Dad telling her what I needed to hear, maybe it was just lucky coincidence that she tuned into a few things that had been bothering me.

Now I know what I'm doing when I finally make a trip out east. You don't mind?
I went to the Long Island medium show. It was interesting. Hard to say how real it is/isn't but I'm of the mindset hat if it brings someone comfort (the way she does it) it cant hurt. Some horribly sad stories though
I'm trying to decide if I want to do this. I believe that there are people who have the ability to do this but I also think that for every one with the ability there are at least double the amount of con artists pretending. I just lost my mom in August and I would love more than anything for this to be real but I think I'm too much of a target and would be scared of getting taken advantage of. Plus, I know my mom would tell me not to waste my money!
My friend and I used to go one after break ups because they almost always said you will meet the one, etc.
That said, I have had one give me a look and tell me I have a touch of the "gift", which I just call very strong intuition. And I had another predict correctly when I would get married and the number of children, sex of children, etc.
I don't know. I can see the allure. If I had the chance to sit with someone really well known and have the chance to "talk" to my dad, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I once went to a card reader in DC when I was young and drunk with a couple of girlfriends...the reader told me that I would be married within the year and it would be near the ocean. That was pretty surprising to me because I wasn't engaged at the time, and I had been considering breaking up with BF and I lived in Utah, so a beach wedding was a stretch, but my dream was always to get married in Hawaii.
Two weeks later, BF came to visit (I was doing an internship), which was a complete surprise to me and proposed and we were married 8 months later in Hawaii.

My gma did that She was Palestinian, not Greek though. All the old ladies in the neighborhood would come over and read each other's Turkish coffee cups. I would get sips of it. So good.
I've been to Lily Dale, New York when I was a working journalist. Also, a Mexican faith healer on the south side of Chicago, at my BFF's mom's urging. (She thought I was cursed. According to my friend's translation of the faith healer, I was not.)
I also had a close friend in my 20s whose parents were spiritualists.
I want to believe that it's possible, but generally feel like those who do it for money are fake. There might be exceptions but it's hard to know for sure.
And I still think it's heartbreaking that Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry's mother that she was dead when that asshole in Cleveland was holding her and two other girls captive for years. The mom died of heart issues not long after that. It's not right to play with people's lives like that.
My MIL saw one in a group reading a friend took her to, it was pretty expensive if I recall ($100/person and there were 8 ladies). She was told to only say yes or no and the reading was insanely accurate, talking about my FIL who passed. She also insisted a new baby boy would be joining her son's family (me and my husband) very shortly and after we all laughed because we can't/won't be having any more children and we already had two dogs. Two weeks later I hit a dog in the street and we ended up keeping him and he is my little baby lol. So yes, I believe there are a high number of scammers but there are a handful of fairly intuitive people I think can do this.

I'm here. I do believe there are a few out there, but I think it's probably 1000 con artists to 1.
I seriously considered it when I was really struggling with my Grandmom's death, but I would have been shattered if I'd paid a fraud, so I didn't go through with it. If someone I trusted recommended a medium they'd seen and been amazed by, I'd look into it again, especially if the person recommending the medium to me was a skeptic themselves, ha.
My sister went last week and said it was amazing. However, when telling me what the medium said it wasn't really specific and could be about anyone.
I'd kinda like to go but I don't think I would believe them
A medium, or a psychic? A medium is someone that talks to the dead. I'm curious who they contacted, if it was a medium.
I haven't gone to a psychic (except once a friend hired one for a group read at a birthday party, it was very generic), but H's best friend has talked to a couple several times, recently. Oh, except they aren't called psychics, anymore, they're called empaths. He was going through a very difficult time with a divorce that was finalized this week. Each were recommended to him by 2 different friends. Expensive - like $300 an hour, at least one of them required a first reading to be 2 hours.
From what I heard secondhand from DH, they sounded legit to me. Both picked up on the fact that friend's mother is also an empath (which I knew. Not the kind that does readings for other people, but I knew it had caused her personal problems over the years and issues with her nursing work), and both of them basically told our friend that his ex was going to come back to him and ask for another chance (she cheated, friend initiated divorce). Both of them scolded friend very, very strongly that he was NOT to take her back, and that he's going to meet and marry another woman, who's artistic and has very long brown hair. I thought it was interesting.
I do know of a pet psychic though! Same friends who hired someone for the bday party, went to a group pet thing with another psychic who does pet readings. I friended her on FB. She can communicate with your pet and also with pets that are passed. She charges $75/half hour.
I think there are people that have the ability to do this but I think most are scam artists.
I think the more famous ones (John Edwards or whatever his name is) are people that are VERY talented at reading body language. Like, FBI level, eye muscle twitches, etc.
If I were going to a medium or psychic I would actually look one up on Yelp. I'd trust people reviews before going to the big names. There were 2 here in my city with nearly perfect ratings (I looked them up because I thought it would be a fun first date idea, though in the end we ended up not going out).

As usual, we're on the same page. I would very much love to be able to communicate with my aunt and grandmother. I do believe they've both visited me in dreams. One that I had about my aunt several years ago has always stayed with me, and it still makes me tear up. It wasn't a bad dream, but we both knew that she was dead and we just spent some time together, and she looked healthy and strong like she was before she got sick.

I held a group reading for eight friends here in my home a couple of years ago. It was a truly amazing experience. One friend who had lost her husband a few years before had the most profound experience. At the end of her reading the medium told her "I am seeing a feather. I don't know what it represents or what it means but I am seeing it. He keeps showing it to me. I feel like you will see it as a way of him showing you that he is ok". A couple of weeks went by and this woman had a visit from her husbands partner (he was a police officer). They were talking and she was sharing the information about the reading. My friend told her about the feather. The partner stops dead in her tracks, lifts her sleeve and shows her a tattoo of a feather on her forearm which she tells her she got as a tribute to my friends husband. She couldn't explain why she'd chosen a feather just that she felt drawn to that.
My MIL is 'Spooky' as was her Mother before her. She often says people are dead when they have just barely passed, etc. I've seen her in action twice and it's pretty legit that she's in tune with something.
She went to a Polish psychic/medium out East this summer and got some pretty out there readings. She wrote them all down and then a string of things actually happened exactly as described. It's been impressive.

I've had dreams about both Grandmoms, and my Aunt that died in 2013. I actually only had one dream about the Grandmom I lost in 1998, and it still gets to me, too (my parents and I had dropped her off at a deserted bus stop, and it was really misty, and she was like "It's fine, you can leave me here, I'll be fine", totally calm and peaceful, so we did, and I remember looking out the back window of the car and she waved until I couldn't see her anymore). I had a dream like yours about my other Grandmom, but we were in an airport and she sat down next to me, and I knew she was dead, but we just sat a while and chatted some, and then I left. I dreamt about my Aunt shortly after her funeral - like yours, she looked healthy and vibrant and happy.
I struggle with believing in spiritual things, generally and more as I get older, but I really do think loved ones visit us in our dreams.
