A remarkable Reading on Paltalk.

[Ersby]

Thanks for posting the transcript. It always nice to see unedited readings.

The opening gambit, as has been said, is a fine example of the medium doubling his chances. Ask what the sitter wants to talk about, and then talk about somethig else, and hope something makes sense somewhere.

No. the psychic's first shot was "who is the woman with short dark hair i am seeing around you?" You were assuming that the psychic was focusing on the question you asked. The psychic's response to your question, or more accurately, the question the psychic threw at you, does not mention hiring at all. That could count as a hit if it were your boss, someone in personnel department, the person who wrote the job requirements, the last person to do the job, someone who is qualified but did not apply, or any of a dozen other people.

Don't forget that I was operating from memory, also even though I am a skeptic, I still have a part of me that really would like for some of this stuff to be true.

I fell into the same trap (although not hook line and sinker) that John Edward sets for the people he reads. When he does not get any hits he usually resorts to "keep this reading in mind and something will pop up." The coincidence that seemed remarkable
(without the transcript), is actually pretty lame. Most people read by psychics don't have that document for refrence.

You seem like a pleasant poster, so I won't offer you millions from a Nigerian bank account; relief from pain thru magnets; next weeks lottery numbers etc.

I do have a bridge I can sell you cheap though...

No, disagree.

I am a skeptic, and perhaps one of the more....fervent ones. But I would simply love to see any person prove that any kind of paranormal phenomenon was real. I would! It's my only claim to fame. I know that I will never make any kind of impact on the human race. I know that when I am dead, I will be forgotten faster than Kelly Clarkson.

So, if I can be a part of proving any kind of paranormal phenomenon, be it ever a small part, I'll take it, and be happy about it, too.

I don't accept your offer of a cheap bridge, but I would love to see your evidence of a paranormal phenomenon!

All I need is that evidence. Gee, why is that so hard to see?

Who is Kelly Clarkson?!

No, disagree.

Perhaps I should expand on my position a little.
I believe completely in an invisible force that can affect planets (gravity); that pressing buttons can instantly send a message to millions of people all over the World (Internet); and that the odds of 2 or more people, in a random collection of 30, having the same birthday are better than 50%.
So I'm a scientist who accepts evidence.

I see enough true wonders in the world (aeroplanes / lasers / microwave ovens / computers / the Pyramids) not to need exciting claims with no evidence to back them up.

It would be great if e.g. dowsing existed.
I corresponded with a leading member of the British Society of Dowsers for some time. He stated:
- anyone can learn to dowse
- you can dowse for water, oil, gold, pipes, tunnels, missing animals and many more things
- his powers always worked, except when he was tested (apparently this was because he was then 'showing off')
- he (and every other member of the Society) would not collect the Randi million dollars, because 'money meant nothing to them'

He finished by offering to teach me to dowse and gave a list of his charges (just to 'cover expenses').

Claims of dowsing have been around for hundreds of years, yet no dowser has ever succeeded in a scientific test.
I draw a scientific conclusion from this about the likelihood of such a power truly existing.

So you dismiss with prejudice any claims about the paranormal? I prefer to keep an open mind. I have no proof currently that any thing like with works, however if I find something I would rather investigate and look the fool than pass up the opportunity to discover something new.

I would love the take the JREF million, however I have a retirement account that fund as I doubt anyone will ever get
that money.

What expenses are involved?

How much do bent coathangers and forked sticks cost in England?
