So I’ve been watching the show Paranormal State a lot lately. It’s been on A&E quite a bit, I’m sure it’s because of it being close to Halloween. I remember watching it when it first came out and I loved it. I really like his methods on the show. I think it really helps that he had his own experience when he was younger. But that’s usually how all paranormal investigators start.
However, one use I don’t necessarily condone or agree with are the use of psychics. I know there are plenty of people who say they can talk to the dead, or are sensitives, but honestly, a lot of them are probably not really psychics and I’m sure there are a handful of them who are actually fakes. Kinda like how “The Mentalist” used to be.
I’m sure you’re waiting on why exactly I have a hard time believing them. The biggest reason is because my friend’s son, Shawn Hornbeck, went missing back in 2002. I’m not sure if you’ve necessarily heard of the story, so I did link it to his website. During that period of time, they had consulted so many psychics who tried to find Shawn. However, no one had anything of substance. Some actually even stated that he had already passed on and crossed over. Others said he was out of state and he was long gone. But the fact remains that Shawn had never left the state, nor even the city! He was found to be living in Kirkwood, MO, just about 20 miles away from where he went initially missing. Come on now. How can I possibly believe in psychics who claimed to have talked to him from beyond?
I am willing to hear from any psychics who claim to be authentic, or anyone who has met one. Nothing would please me more than someone who can debunk my theory that psychics are either frauds or people who think they have a gift for clairvoyance or whatever. I would just love to hear that there is more to this world, and that there are those that can speak to the spirits of the dead. Convince me!

I think there are some that are authentic, but there are also tons of fakes willing to take your money & not look back.
I had an awesome experience with one when I lived in Phoenix. The place had a few of them there, so I read the sign out front, was drawn to the name of one and went in & listened to him do a couple readings; I liked him immediately. He told me things in my reading that he couldn’t have ever known, and I know he wasn’t ‘reading my mind’ because he said many things I didn’t know & had to verify later with family.
Yeah, see now I would love to believe in psychics but I have yet to meet one. But yes, I believe there are plenty of fakes that are willing to take your money and run.
Perhaps I will find a psychic someday. But how do you tell if they are authentic?
The best thing I can say is trust your gut. Like I said, I was drawn to the name, then to him…there wasn’t any doubt in my mind. After my reading, my friend & I walked around the store, and some of the others gave me the creeps. Trust your gut.
