My recent meeting with a 'psychic/medium' Amanda Barrymore

[colgirl1965]

So recently I went to visit a woman who lives in my town for a reading. Actually she was a trans-gender woman who calls herself the 'Unique Medium' because she reckons she's the only trans-gender medium in this country. Anyway, I went there because I'm going through a particularly difficult time at the moment in my relationship and was curious (and desperate) to get some kind of guidance. She closed her eyes and told me that my mum was coming through - she told that she felt my mum had died through something to do with her stomach, I said no. Then she asked if it was something to do with her heart. I said no. Then she asked if she'd passed through cancer, again I said no. Finally she asked what my mum had died of - when I told her it was Parkinson's, she said ' well, that's a bit like cancer isn't it?' !! Then she said she was getting the name James? or maybe John? Jack? None of these names meant anything to me, then she went on to say she was getting the names Mary and Margaret. Again, nothing to me. As far as my relationship went, she asked so many questions that despite me answering in yes and no's, she eventually got there in the end. I came out disappointed and disillusioned. And yet she tells me that she works on a Psychic Channel?! There was a pic of her standing next to Richard Madeley on her shelf and apparently she's read for Harry Stiles from One Direction.

At least she has a unique angle, I will give her that.

You forgot to tell her her name!!

I hope you have learned from this bad experience and understand mediumship is simply not real.
Please dont waste your money on these people again.

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Oh and welcome to the forum, I am your host Jon!

[zippy]

put it down to experience. theres no such thing as somebody that can predict where your life is going,especially a stranger. have more belief in yourself and go with your heart,dont let outsiders intrude and waste your time and probably your dosh too.

[girlseeksghosts]

Hi welcome to the forum Colgirl - yes, don't bother with her again. Many years ago I saw a lady who said things like - he wasn't tall was he, she wasn't a big woman was she, she didn't have red hair did she etc etc, well when you answer no, she would say say didn't think so but if you said yes, she would say I thought so .. just another of the ways of making themselves sound correct lol. Don't come away sad and disillusioned, come away feeling wiser and I do hope hope your problems are soon resolved.

[colgirl1965]

Thanks everyone for your replies - I would just add that I saw my friend yesterday and told her about what happened. She told me that a few years ago she had invited her round to her house when she was having a party. Apparently everyone who had a reading came out saying how rubbish she was!

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

And whats the psychics name?

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Can I ask did you get a refund for your poor refund? And if not do you want me to get you one?

[colgirl1965]

Thanks Jon but I think I'll just chalk that up to experience -it wasn't ridiculously expensive thank goodness - I knew within the first 5 minutes that it wasn't going to turn up too well. And why do they always use Tarot cards? That doesn't require any 'psychic' ability, just an ability to interpret the cards' meanings.

[zippy]

tea leaves,tarot,crystal ball,its all a blag. what these people claim to be able to achieve is impossible.fact. only 1 person that can shape your future destiny and thats yourself with your choices and decisions,only you control yourself. keep positive and keep posting. its good to chat with others

Iv seen several over the years, I lost quite a few very close family members and went thro a phase of being desperate and needing to hear from them and wanting to know they were ok. Although a few I seen did come out with some truths (although I'm sure now it could have been lucky guesses) the last one earlier this year was the reason I no longer think these people are real. I think you mentally turn things round in your mind to make them be what you want to hear and as you relay your reading to people you seem to add tiny bits on aswell to make people believe, just because you do lol. The last woman come to my house and because she couldn't 'read' me I was in for 20 mins as opposed to the promised hour, and she rounded off by telling me that there's a few people there but not willing to come forward because theyr saying iv had enough now, how bizarre? Safe to say that's the last 25 quid I will pay to listen to a load of drivel and bank roll there new landscaped garden (as was shown on her facebook page) xx

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

You should never pay if you are not pleased with a service.

Give me her name and we can ask her to refund you

[rstaton]

I don't even know now Jon, Jan someone, I don't have facebook anymore to even have a look :/ have to just put it down to experience, although I do now advise people to steer clear but over the years the sad thing is I have paid 100's to grasp at something that doesn't even exist

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Well if you have learned from your mistakes then at least that is something, But never ever pay a medium again!

[colgirl1965]

Why is it that all these mediums have such glowing testimonials on their websites and yet when I've spoken to them they never seem to be able to give me any actual names of anyone I'm connected to ( alive or dead)? In fact, they have never ever been able to actually give me any specific information at all. Had a reading (over phone) once with a woman called Lynne Caddick who was supposed to be really good and she couldn't give me any names either or any details, so what sort of medium is she?

[rstaton]

They are cruel wicked fakes Colgirl who take money off people who generally are desperate and probably grieving. Its disgusting really, making money off other peoples misery x

[girlseeksghosts]

Hi Colgirl - I certainly wouldn't even bother to read testimonials most likely provided by friends and relatives (or even written by their own hand)! I believe it really is a case of how skillful their cold/hot reading is and how gullible the client is, perhaps thats too harsh as a lot of people are really just in the throes of grief and very vulnerable.

I looked up Lynne Caddick - that woman's hair would put me off lol You should have given her a testimonial of your own and said how useless and what a waste of money she was but do you think that would be shown... don't think so lol   Keep reminding yourself like I had to once upon a time, there is no evidence proving life exists after death and therefore it is not possible to speak to those who have died, if only *sigh* .

Cause they write them themselves, or hand pick them
