Is Luci not highly rated?

Lothian said it best, "Depends on what the scale is measuring."

Luci is one of this forum's highest rated kooks. It's been suggested before that we have a FAQ about these things, but in Luci's case, it would take pages and pages to describe all of her kookiness. Don't be fooled by her momentary lapses into normalcy. I predict Luci will demand I post evidence for my assertions, despite the fact that she and the other regulars around here have already seen such evidence a bazillion times and are bored to death of it.

P.S. Ronsceptic, if your location is accurate, we can't be more than 50 miles apart. I'm posting from Oakham....

Glee,

Take a look at Luci's webpage where you will find out what she/he believes in plus an pretty lame attack on Randi...


Super Woo Woo


We are prety close neighbours, I'm in Market Harborough! :)


Regards,
Ron.

Luci posted earlier that she/he had worked for 12 years for the home office as an expert witness, dealing with hundreds of officers.

So how about a list of the top ten crimnes solved by psychic powers?

Sound of church bell chiming softly in the distance........
 
The gentle patter of rain on the skylight.......
All else is silence.


I guess ther just arn't any cases solved by psychics then.

What a suprise.

Ron, Luci is right and you are it is you that is wrong

John Indian baked a witch cake made with rye meal and the afflicted girls' urine. This counter-magic was meant to reveal the identities of the "witches" to the afflicted girls.

Dear Ron,

I did visit Luci's homepage.

There was a remote viewing test.

I couldn't resist taking it. (Obviously some psychic part of me took control.)

On the first two tests, I scored 77 and 76%!

Either I am psychic....

...or by typing exactly the same stuff each time (people, buildings etc), I have exposed the method of assessing as unreliable.

(ghostly music ON)
Only you can say....

I'd say you have about as much psychic power as Luci has.;)

Oh yes, we all know who shy these mediums are don't we! When have you ever heard of a medium writing books or appearing on TV?

Talk about lame excuses!:D !

Some a tiny minority do write books, sure, but the majority, like supergrasses, would prefere to keep their identity hidden. Do you really think they would want to become an underworld target? The police are quite right in keeping psychics out of the legal arena.
 
Lucy, honey, most of the nice folks here think it would be better if you laid off that there "supergrass" for a while.

Those nice Cuban cigars in the back of the closet have enough kick for now.

So the underworld are responsible for all crime. Missing schoolchilden? No underworld conflict there.

Not one single case presented by Luci.

Perhaps the only reason psychics are kept out to the legal arena is that they have nothing to offer.
 
Luci,

How come no medium has been able to assertain from the victims of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley where they are buried?

Given the misery that the victims families have been going through for thirty odd years you would have thought that the victims would want to clear this matter up.

It doesn't work like that. A psychic can't help who comes to him/her and what information they offer, but I can say dearie I have a man here for you, a tall man ,he sayes that he is well and to be careful in business.

What? There's sea between London and Machester?

.....er well a there are a few canals?, a coupe of rivers, and a swimming pool or two.....

Phew. amazing!

Well let's see:

- there are books teaching you how to do cold reading
- there are experts who have astonished audiences with cold reading (Ian Rowlands for example)
- there is a scientific explanation for cold reading (use standard techniques to give likely generalisations for unhappy bereaved people, who will grasp at anything that gives them comfort)

So cold reading is just like any other magic trick - the principles behind it are clear, and so is the reason it works.

Alas there is no such evidence for psychics...
 
Glee, the cold reraders are unable to replicate the same feats under the same conditions, as the mediums. There is no scientific evidence to support your claim. Other skeptics have confirmed this already in another thread - re the 'silent' sittings of Dr Schwartz experiments.
