PSYCHIC READING

Psychics are popping up on every channel. I must admit it is really convincing. Sensing Murder is the latest show. They use psychics to get answers to unsolved murders. Often they come up with answers that the Police have overlooked. Private detectives check out the psychic claims and they are always right.

There is a psychic show on TV right now and the guy is so accurate it’s uncanny. He knows names, dates, secrets, everything. I don’t know if there is heaps of editing which makes him seem a whole lot more sharp than he is. I guess one could never tell until they are in the situation.

They even have interviews a few days later with the person and they say things like “I didn’t know what he meant by this statement but then I talked to my sister and she reminded me of something that I had forgotten.”

Most people say psychics are so general that they could be talking to anybody and just reading their body language and working off their answers. I say if you think that, you have never seen a real psychic at work.

Many Christians would state that it is not the relative communicating with them but it is a demon fooling them.

I have no idea.

I do have a couple of questions though. A medium spends so much time talking to dead people but not once have I ever heard them ask questions that we all want to know, like what is the meaning of life? Which religion is true? Is Hitler in hell? Do you eat? Do you go to a ghost KFC? Do you have to worry about ghost cholesterol?

One thing I do know the answer to is pets. Today on the show the guy said to the lady “Your dog chippie is here with your husband”. But this only raises more questions.
Is there such thing as ghost dog shit?

On 20/20 a few weeks ago (the usually trashy 20/20 on Thursday nights), one of the frequently appearing psychics of Sensing Murder was helping a man desperately looking for closure with the disappearance of his daughter. The psychic had decided to do it for free. Naturally 20/20 followed with cameras. The psychic confirmed his daughter was dead, and then took them to a rural site and started to get the messages of where the body would be. Suddenly the psychic pinpointed the place she was buried. The father and family went in with spades desperately seeking the body of his daughter. A nearby construction company freely lent a digger to really clear the land. If there was a body uncovered, it would have been a world first "Psychic finds Body" case (there is no documented case of this). Alas, sadly for the family there was no body... but they still have faith in her.
