I never have but know a couple of people who have done so. Both had very different experiences. Person A kept being given well known traditional names from the Spiritualist, there is a person called, Peter, James, Margaret, Susan etc trying to make contact with you, none of these names meant anything to A and she came away feeling that she had learnt nothing. Person B said the Spiritualist She saw told her things about her childhood and life that no one outside her family would know. She felt the information was very accurate. How about you have you ever visited a Spiritualist and what was your experience like? Personally I remain a Sceptic.

No, because I don’t enjoy being played.

I have a friend who is a spiritualist and she goes off to Singapore quite often to train others. I don’t like that sort of thing so she doesn’t talk about it to me. I believe she is very good. Knowing her, I would be very surprised if she is a phony or trying to get a lot of money , she is already mega rich.

No - I don’t believe people can see the future - if they could they would be placing bets and winning daily on every race going. I think there are so many general comments made by these people that they could refer to anything and anybody.

I don't quite know the term "spiritualist" but I will tell you there is another realm of consciousness that most people are oblivious to and that realm is the connection that we all have together as one. Strangely, my mother had it, I have it, my sons and daughter have it. It is something that you have to listen to in order for it to reveal and most people don't have the listen but all people have the "gift" but it is not a gift - it is just human nature. Ignored sometimes. Listened to, other times.

Mediums are far different from humans IMO

No, and I never would.
A friends of mine did and the experience wasnt good, it was very upsetting for her.
Also my being a Christian the bible clearly tells us to stay away from it .

Bit rude

I have had experiences where ‘I’ve known’ something. I believe all of us women at one time had what they’d call second sight. But we were killed in our millions as witches. So had to push it deep down, suppress it and ignore it.

My colleagues and I used to telephone mediums at work and put them on speaker phone. One day a medium insisted I had a child and got really angry because I was denying it. He said my misery was of my own making.

The reason I did this was because I had my child adopted. I never told anyone at work and didn't want them to find out.

I went to a medium years ago after my mother died. There was no message from her but the medium kept saying someone called Daisy was trying to get through. I knew no one of that name but the medium insisted it was Daisy. After the visit I was talking about it to an elderly aunt and she said “Oh yes that would be your grandmother’s sister Daisy” I had never heard her mentioned before.
