Do you believe?

I went to see a psychic a few years ago and then just before I got wed.
I was quite sceptical and didnt know what to expect.
It was all very weird. The first time was all about my mother - she passed away 11 years ago now from breast cancer. She told me that she no longer has to wear her wig as she has lovely hair now 'up there'.
She also told me several other things that she couldnt possibly have known.
When i went just before the wedding, what she told me was astounding. She told me that Mr Tarts dad Colin (she named him) will be there (she knew I was getting wed and what month) watching us and will be so proud. She said that he would like Mr T to wear 2 roses in his buttonhole, one for him too and that he will try his best to help him with his crevat as he knows he will be useless at it.
She said that as my nan had also passed (we never got on), she would like to say sorry for certain views that she had expressed when she was alive - spot on, but would rather not say what went on. My nan and mum were apparantly 'thrashing out' their diferences up there too over buckets of tea as they both drunk gallons when down here.
She said that my sister in America was fine but a little 'snowed under'. My sister was in Boston at the time on holiday with heavy snow and couldnt get a flight back home.
She also knew that my mum had 10 children and I myself had lost a baby when I was 18. She went as far as to say that my mum had my little boy with her.
She said that my mum was beside me brushing my hair - something she loved to do even up until I was 20.
All of a sudden she asked me if I heard that. When I said what, she said that my mum just called me. I just laughed and forgot about it but when I replayed the tape a few months later - as clear as a bell, my mums voice called my nickname. Now, when I play the tape it's gone. I was doing the washing up at the time and just froze with shock.
I can't remember other things but I couldnt believe how accurate this woman was.
I have an appointment with her at the end of April and am actually looking forward to it.
I'm no fool and do not live my life by what this woman has said in the past and she certainly didnt pick on the fact that I was grieving and heard what I wanted to as mum had died years before and I was by no means upset iyswim. I wasnt a member of any facebook or sharing group at the time so ruled out that she had googled me!
I just wondered whether anyone believes in the afterlife and spirit world.
Do you have any stories to tell?

    I do hope this goes ahead. I believe you'll give an honest account, even as a non believer/sceptic.

    No p*ssing taking though, strictly honest findings.

    I don't think it's scientific at all. What's to stop Wise Monkey telling her mum information gleaned from Hitched and her using it in her reading of Nick.

    I have to agree.

    Much as I'd love this to go ahead, I fail to see what it will really resolve. To be truly scientific there needs to be all manner of checks and controls, not to mention an independent adjudication. Otherwise it will just come down to one person's word against another.

    Unless of course, Nick is converted on the spot.

    Bugger the cats protection league, give the money to me Nick.
    My spirit guide is called Derek and he's on my shoulder now.

    I'm seeing a school building, old with lots of original features.I feel you were a pupil there and you wore quite a formal uniform, none of this sportshirt nonsense pupils wear today.
    I'm seeing your parents but I feel you lived away from them a lot of the time.
    Derek has just brought be forward to a more recent time in your life.I see your wedding day in quite a rustic type setting, in the country.
    Derek is telling me you are indeed a sceptic but this piece of information will floor you.He says to mention a medal you have won for synchronized swimming.You keep it in your bedside drawer next to the silver panties you wear.

    Look. I'm honestly ask her tonight. Don't expect a yes tbh.
    I'd honestly like one of you to realise that not all people who say they see are loons so i hope she does agree.
    She's an adult, and i'm not sure she'd like to be used as an experiment to settle some strangers wonderings about the afterlife.

    Well, there's be no point then would there? You'd go alojng with the cold reading like a good little lamb.

    WM - I'd like to believe in an afterlife. It's hard for me not to actually, as I was brought up Christian and still have quite strong moral ties to that. Logically, however, I believe that the end is the end.

    If there were to be an "afterlife" I believe it would be a one-way street. None of this "I was a king in babylon and you were a Christian slave" nonsense.

    However, it would be a shame to underestimate the power of the human mind and I think our ability to remember and long for our loved ones is probably enough to make up for there being no afterlife.

    Personally I think the idea of an 'afterlife' was created to help people deal with 'death'. The idea that it doesn't end as such, makes dying a much less scary thought.

    And I'm completely happy with people believing that. If it helps you deal with death, then all power to you.


    But that's a completely different topic. That's got nothing to do with the living saying they can communicate with the dead. Which is what I think people are having a problem with?? (on this thread, anyway?)

    So what would be the point in Nickj doing it, to go along like a good little lamb and ignore everything that is said and dismiss it.

    I can make up my own mind about things and don't stick to the flock.

    I don't believe in an afterlife. Nor do I believe in those who will propose a 'fact' that they won't allow to be tested, or who claim that positive assessment of their 'facts' is beyond the capabilities of modern science. Well, yes, they would say that, wouldn't they?

    Do I believe in heaven ? Sometimes.

    Do I believe people can talk to the dead ? Never.

    Not sure what that proves.
