Psychics
 

Does anyone know of a Psychic by the name of Gloria or Glo in The Villages? I have heard of people visiting her but they are unable to remember her last name. Or does anyone know of a psychic that is legit in the area? Any info would be helpful, thank you. ???

Re: Psychics
 

What determines if a Psychic is legit??

Re: Psychics
 

Well, if people have had experiences with them that they believed were true and helpful. Things that no one else could possibly know......?

Re: Psychics
 

I dont know what determines if a psychic is legit, I usually judge them by their abilities to know personal things about me after the fact. Getting recommendations from others who have seen a psychic and was impressed is usually what influences me.

I can honestly recommend Matthew and Rev. Cassidy in Cassadaga FL. as being incredibly intuitive, and I would definitely go back to them. Psychics are certainly not cheap so you want to make sure you are not flushing your $ down the toilet!

Cassadaga is about a 1-2 hour trip but it is definitely worth the trip.

Re: Psychics
 

A Reverend Gloria was recommended to me. She works out of her home here in The Villages and is said to be very good. I haven't gone to her yet but saved her number just in case. If you want her phone number, pm me and I will give it to you.

Re: Psychics
 

Noni... :agree:..If a psychic sees things from my past, that only I know......

There are lots of fakes out there, very convincing, but FAKE!! Thought this article would be helpful to some, since not many people know about cold readings..


Cold reading is a technique often used by mentalists and fraudulent fortune tellers, psychics, and mediums to determine details about another person in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than he or she actually does.

Even without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by carefully analyzing the person's body language, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc.

Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.

Re: Psychics
 

I believe there are true psychics out there. But I also know there are a lot of shams and they make it hard for the truly gifted ones.

The most important thing to stay away from is the "psychic" or person that says that they can fix your problems. They say they will pray for you or hold a meditation meeting for you. These people will start draining your money and have you coming back again and again. They prey on your fears. Don't ever leave a picture or a piece of jewelry behind with them. Don't let them talk you into coming back for any reason. This is just the start of what a big scam can be.

Now, as I said in the beginning, I do believe in true psychics. They usually don't advertise, except for a business card upon request. They do not and do not have to solicit business. Word of mouth is enough.

I also believe we all have psychic abilities, it just depends on how much we hone them through study and meditation. I, for one, am not a Sylvia Brown fan at all. This woman has an act down and upon studying her, you'll find it easy to see through it. That's just my opinion, others love her.

I do like Jon Edward and would love to see him in person. Oh, yes, there have been stories about him too, but I'd like to judge for myself. Plus, he's really really cute! LOL :joke:

Re: Psychics
 

I travelled 5 hours to see Jon Edward in person. He's amazing and :agree: a very good looking fella.

Re: Psychics
 

a legit psychic??? isn't that an oxymoron?... like military intelligence

Re: Psychics
 

There is a 1 million dollar prize for ANYONE who can prove paranormal events under controlled conditions. Check it out here: http://www.randi.org/joom/challenge-info.html

To date no one has been able to collect the money.

If you want to go to a psychic, be my guest. Heck it might even be enjoyable and soothing to you but please never use the word legit when talking about these people. They are good people readers and know how to weave a story that they know you want to hear. I'm sure Rev. Gloria could use a cool million!

Re: Psychics
 

NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT........YOU RECOMMEND A PHYSIC TO SOMEONE AND SHE IS 1 TO 2 HOURS AWAY....WITH GAS AT 4.25 A GAL. AND YOUR WORRIED ABOUT FLUSHING MONEY DOWN THE TOILET...........

I MUST HAVE MISSED SOMETHING SOMEWHERE

CLARA-VOI-ENT FUMAR

Re: Psychics
 

Russ & Fumar..

I must disagree on this one..There are psychics that work with the police, and have found missing children, people buried alive, etc..

Those are FACTS!!..I agree there are a multitude of quacks out there, but there are many gifted people as well...

Re: Psychics
 

My 2 cents: When I turned 16, I went with friends to a well known psychic at Crescent Park, in Riverside, R.I.. This woman pretty much summed up my life. She said I would meet my husband within 6 months (remember I'm 16!!) , that we would marry and wait a few years to have 2 children, a girl and then a few years later a boy. It would be a long happy marriage, with ups and downs, but we would always stay together. So far that lady nailed it. Now if I live to 93, she gets a 100%!!! I went to 1 other and she was so vague and fake. Haven't spent another dime on it since. I really liked the 1st one, so why try again!!

Re: Psychics
 

I too had a similar experience..There was a psychic at a party I was at, when I was about 20..

She walked up to me and told me I would have 9 children..I told her I very much doubted that, I would certainly hope to have children but not 9...

When I married Tommy (Donna Marie's dad) he had 8 children..OMG.. :yikes:

Then came Donna Marie, guess I have 9 children!!! Ya think she was right????

Re: Psychics
 

A dear friend of mine husband died quite suddenly. She found him in his favorite chair. He was a young man.

She felt that she was cheated out of saying good by to him, and found a psychic in Hawaii who she called. (I do not know how she found this person.) She called the psychic who informed her not to say anything but just listen.

The psychic did not want her to say anything because she wanted no audible clues from my friend.

My friend was shocked about the accuracy of what she was told. It also made her feel extraordinarily good. She felt her husband was still with her and watching over her.

Re: Psychics
 

I tend to be pragmatic about things like this, and I'm responding to the comment made by Nonie earlier in this thread: "Psychics are certainly not cheap so you want to make sure you are not flushing your $ down the toilet!"

I had a cousin (now deceased) whose best friend was a psychic. She absolutely and categorically never accept payment or a gift for her work, feeling that it's a gift that she's been given which has nothing to do with earning a livelihood. She has been called on by police and others, and she works strictly, for lack of a better way to put it, as a volunteer within the community. In other words--and in her words--she is not an entertainer. And she is not always successful, but she is often enough. We last saw her at the repast following my cousin's funeral and she told us this story (when we asked):

She was called in by the very distraught parents of a young suicide (person in late 20s still living with parents) who left no note or explanation. She spent time with them and wandering through their home, then asked to spend some time in the young person's room. Following this, she apologetically sat down with the parents and explained that she could sense nothing at all--other than a vague something about a penguin, which appeared to have no relevance to anything. Weeks later, the parents, in going through everything in their child's room, found the suicide note in a book that happened to be a favorite of their child's, published by Random House as part of their Penguin Book series.

Go figure; and who am I to judge?

Re: Psychics
 

I didn't mean to indicate that they aren't talented. There have been some famous success cases. But I attribute it more to the same talent that a very good detective would have. Kinda of sixth sense if you will but more likely the ability to put a puzzle together from limited information. I just don't attribute it to any sort of 'future' telling or mind reading.

9 children? Are you sure she didn't just swap your birth control pill for some pez candy?

Re: Psychics
 

At the age of 24 a palm reader/psychic read my palm and said I would never marry the man I'm with. She said I would marry the love of my life at age 52. Now, at 24, 52 sounds ancient! Plus I was getting married in 3 weeks. I told my girlfriends she was crazy and not to go to her. So here's what happened. . .

I was engaged at 24 and getting married in 3 weeks. We had the dresses, showers, invitations out, room the whole ball of wax. In the interim, my fiancee's mother started a huge fight with my family and I called off the wedding.

Fast forward. I married vetman (the love of my life) on my 52nd birthday. Not planned that way on purpose, but because we were on a cruise and the only day the ship was in an American port was on my 52nd birthday. I didn't even realize it until I woke up that morning, thinking wow, I'm really getting married today and as I looked up on the dresser in the cabin, there was a birthday card with the necklace that matched my ring, that read "Happy Birthday to My Wife."

Boing!!!!! My mind went racing back to that palm reader. I'm still amazed and sorry that I told everyone she was nuts! LOL :o

Re: Psychics
 

I would also recommend Matthew in Cassadega. He is definitely gifted, and I had a remarkable reading with him.

We took the 1 1/2 hour driver to this small town of psychics today. The town is small but kinda cute. There is a wonderful hotel that serves goof Italian food in their restaurant. The hotel also offers psychic readings, Rikki, aura readings, and spiritual guidance etc. Go to the welcome building across the street from the hotel. They have a board showing which psycics are reading that day and have a phone to call them. The psychics live in this little berg and have signs outside their homes stating what services they provide.We didn't have a reading as we are waiting for my brother and my my sister-in-law to come and visit with us and all of us go and have a reading,
The rate for a reading is $55 for 1/ hour and $100 for an hour.
We enjoyed the drive and being out of the "bubble". It is a cute town if you believe or not.
PS: There was one store offering a mini $1 reading. This was basically picking a card from a pile and they would explain what it meant AND you got to keep the card.
I bought 2 Hematite rings and 2 Mugglestones. all in all a nice day out

Years ago one of the radio stations I worked at had a psychic named Phil who did a show every evening from 7-8pm. The standing joke when you saw him in the hallway was to say.."Hi Phil..How am I?"

Psychic and legit do not belong in the same sentence. They are con artist but you are free to waste your money anyway you want. I used to be a professional magician and learned all the methods that physics use. There are even books about it. My sister was recruited by the Psychic Network and they provided training on how to obtain info from people without them realizing it. Just like magicians do using psychology and misdirection, you are left only remembering what you were manipulated to remember. Every hears what they want to hear from a psychic or whatever will end up with you paying more.

Don't know about psychics, but I can give you the address of the tooth fairy....for a fee!

There are con artists in every profession, whether it is politicians or car salesmen or real estate agents or television preachers or CEOs of corporations. But there are also Mediums that are the real deal. In my humble opinion.

:agree:

Does anyone remember the song "On a Clear Day"
 

The "Psychic Network" uses astrology readings for a particular sign, after they ask you your birthdate.

Yes, there are charlatans in every profession. You name it, they are there.

However, there are also those, who don't seek the limelight, who do have natural gifts of precognition and clairvoyancy.

Superstitious witchcraft.

If I ever read a story that a Psychic, or fortune teller, or clairvoyant, won POWERBALL, then I will become a believer :)

This might be of interest.
 

Scientists put psychic's paranormal claims to the test | Science | guardian.co.uk

And one from a few days ago @ Halloween 2012. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...?newsfeed=true

There does seem to be a problem though here with the fact that when you put a genuine psychic into such controlled environments you throw this person off her game quite a bit. http://science.howstuffworks.com/inn...m-suicide2.htm

I do believe there are real psychics but they are probably one in a thousand among the phony ones. The genuine ones as another poster pointed out probably do not need to advertise their abilities.

Black Cats, Broken Mirror, stepping on a crack, walking under a ladder, and on and on and on. We humans seem to need something to blame it on when anything goes wrong. We have went from multiple gods down to one supreme ruler in most of our religions and that is a step in the right direction. But as long as we have been out of the cave, we still have a long way to go.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.......but good luck.

For those who have experienced it, basically it is just a feeling that something is going to transpire........**

Now, if the so called "psychic" acted on her "feeling".....she'd still have to choose the correct numbers..........I don't think that would happen.

This is the misconception out there.

Again, there are charlatans in every walk of life and every profession.

**For what it's worth.........and since you are a nice fellow....I'll tell you a story. The day before 911, full day before, I woke up in the middle of the night from the most frightening dream I'd ever had.

To be brief here......I saw a huge face/head of a man in a black turban....with a black beard.
Yes, a black turban. I saw an airplane crash. Then I woke up.

Now, 10 days later we were supposed to fly to our son's wedding in Colorado out of Albany, New York to Denver (via Chicago as the layover).

The next morning, while in the kitchen "listening to Good Morning America" I saw the planes crash into the tower.......and the rest is history.

We did do the trip..........but it was "surreal". The airports were empty.
The few, like us, were terrified. The plane's staff and crew were terrified.

What do you make of my dream? That was a premonition.
It happens. You can't turn it on. It just happens.

I don't believe in the psychics who know everything.
What I'm talking about is INTUITION AND precognition.

That other guy who calls it witchcraft doesn't know what he's talking about, unfortunately...........my husband does not dream either.
The few times he's had a dream in our 48 years of marriage I can count on half of my right hand fingers. Women do dream more and feel more.

Superstitious mumbo gumbo has been around since the beginning of time. It is all just silly childish fear of the explainable that makes us search for an answer. Also, I am a christian, so I will put my faith in god and not a dream or any other silly coincidence.
Please use your head before your fear to come to a conclusion on anything.

Am I the only one seeing the absurdity of this statement?:a20:

I agree with Golfingnut that it is silly childish fear that makes some of us afraid of the idea of Psychics, Mediums, and Clairvoyants.

I'm so glad you clarified that, BARE, I guess it's all in the interpretation. I took it to mean he only believed in organized mumbo-jumbo, superstition that has been around since the start of time.

DOPEY ME

I see your point: To many folks, believing in GOD is no different than believing in Witchcraft and other things like we are discussing here. You may be right, but, I also need something to believe in and I chose the more established.

I don't go as far as to classify all abilities to "Witchcraft". I do believe that there are people who have abilities, whether it be intuitive or just being able to read situations and people.

I also believe there is good and bad in everything. Take someone like Theresa Caputo, the LI Medium. I don't know if what she does is real or not, but it does seem to lighten people's load.

I think that anything that helps give people peace is good, be it a preacher, a psychic or a shrink.

I think that anyone who takes advantage of another person's pain to make money is bad, be it a preacher, psychic or shrink.

I think when people have abilities, it is a gift from God.

I was gonna say something just like that but you said it much better than I could've..

Yes, I knew that because HHeellllooo, I'm PSYCHIC.:girlneener:

Agreed- fools and their funds are early parted.
