Do you believe in psychics?

[Mollynotgemma]

I had my first ever reading and she knew my grandmothers name how is this possible.

[slatyb]

No, I don't. Psychics start with vague truths that apply to almost everyone, then the subject confirms that and fills in the details. "I see you are going on a trip..." "That's right, next year I'm going to "Almost everyone is going a trip at some point in the future. The "psychic" said nothing, and the subject then replied with the details. If you don't give a so-called psychic anything, they will have nothing to say.

to sla, but you ignored the question about knowing the name.

[AllAloneInTheWorld]

Not all of them are like that. There are some on Facebook who offer free readings and they don't ask any questions they just straight up give a reading

I had someone who provided a free reading for me. She never once asked me any questions, she just straight up read for me. she knew my date of birth. There was absolutely no way she had gotten that information online as I never use my real date of birth on there and I also didn't have any Facebook friends so she couldn't have asked anyone that information about me more importantly she knew details about my mum and I that happened just before my mum passed away that nobody other then myself and my mum knew. She even knew I was depressed. I only knew that information

Another one back in 2018 told me I would fall pregnant when I was 36 and in 2022 at the age of 36 I did fall pregnant. She also knew the sex of my baby.

The ones on TV are definitely fake but I do believe quite a few of them who are on Facebook are genuine based on the fact that they provided information to me that I know they could not have gotten that information anywhere else or from anyone

No one has ever convincing demonstrated this ability. They are able to convince the people who want to believe, but are not taken seriously by anyone else.

[strateguy632]

some have partial insight but not trustworthy for advice nor plans.

[Nikki1989]

I read books on how to read Tarot cards and how to write horror scopes, and it is all one big scam. There is a trick to it all. It is all about reading your tone of voice, bringing up general statements that seem specific, or baiting you for information.

[strateguy632]

mostly true but if she knows the name maybe she is an exception.

[purplepoppy]

Names tend to be generational. If you know someones age you can work out when their grandparents were born and come up with a name. Even if it's not your granny there's a good chance you'll know a dead person by that name

[Agape93]

Nope. They're con artists who use mind games and statistics to trick people.

[MementoMori777]

Nope, I don't
