Default Celebrity Psychics not worth listening to?

I'm not sure 'Hilarious' is quite right, frankly, but still it's amusing to see how far wrong some of these 'psychics' can be. If there really are real psychics out there with precognitive abilities, they must be loathing these guys.

If made up mumbo jumbo is your thing, then psychics provide a good service.

I'm not sure what annoys me more about so-called psychics; either they know exactly what they're doing and are scamming the most vulnerable, or they actually believe they have these powers.

I think that none that I have seen or are aware of are deluded at all, and that they're "in it" to make a living.

Parasites TBH.

Never really managed to get involved with anything like this. We watched a program the other night on some lady in the war who used to give readings and things and it's one of those things I would like to have done so I can judge it myself.

Seems to me most of the jargin they come up with is very vague and applicable to all so I would need some convincing!

However, my Pa, very level headed and scientific man, he went to one when he was working oop north donkey yonks ago. He never believed in any of it but it was a friend of a friend and yeh he went. He ended up being a little "baffled" in his words due to the amount of luminous green ectoplasm stuff just flowing from all orifaces of this persons body. He described it as gunge and it wasn't a darkened room and the person was just stood between them all completely circled by the group.

Said it was hard for him to figure out an explanation for where it was all coming from. And then the stuff just... disappeared. Once again he finds it odd to describe.

But then, he's admitted, Derren Brown completely baffles him with some of his work and that's just trickery. So who knows!
