pet psychics

Robert Lancaster and many others have done a great job exposing psychics and similar frauds, and I have learned much from all of them about how to look at claims of paranormal ability. For that I am thankful. Does anyone have good information or tips for debunking pet psychics? It's pretty...

It is bad when psychics take advantage of people due to compassion for others, whether it be friends, family, or pets. I came across this website the other day and was astonished to see the story of "Bubba" the cat. I do not know whether the website is a hoax, a scam intended to get money...

I'd like to learn how to pose as an 'Animal Communicator' or pet psychic. I would especially like to learn how to perform the routine convincingly over the telephone. I have no interest in charging for it or in committing fraud. I do think it would be fun to perform it as an entertainment. It...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P0vLYPwB7M OK.. this is THE WORST TEST of a 'psychic' I have ever seen. You will not believe the protocols, the scoring and the cold reading. This is a classic and clear guide of how NOT to test a 'psychic'. I would be interested to hearing your ideas for a real...

I couldn't decide if I should put this in humor, but here it is. There's only a couple of sentences, but it still made me laugh. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060414/ap_on_fe_st/fugitive_feline

So one time there was a pet psychic on a local call in radio show and she was putting forth all sorts of increadible info such as; if you stare at your pet it will feel your psychic energy and look back at you at which point you can start sending psychic images to each other. Now this womens...

Last night I caught a portion of an interesting TV documentary on animal communication (both among animals in the wild and between animals and human beings). The program may have been American-made, but I watched it on the BBC's Learning Zone. The show contained some interesting interviews...
