    Just wondered seen as the club are putting one on.

    I once thought there was something in it and would like to have believed but now think its absolute ******** and just a money maker / frauds extracting cash from folk.

    fraudsters peddling hope to those usually grief stricken and at their most needy, if they all have this gift to bring peace to those bereaved, why aint they doing it for free? The club should be ashamed at themselves, encouraging such lowlifes.

    IMO, its a way of preying on the vulnerable grieving.

    Agree on all that's been said already. Fraudsters preying on those wanting closure on a death. People who know as much as the rest of us on this kind of thing trying to extract cash from those daft enough to fall for it. Surprised we are allowing this to happen at Oakwell. I don't see many tickets sold.

    I actually believe...

    Though I suppose who you go see for how credible they are.

    My friends auntie Jane Jackson from Methley is considered one of the best in Britain and has a three year waiting list.

    When I worked with him some of the most skeptical of guys from work went to see her and were blown away. They came back fully believing.

    My wifes mother died early this year. my wife called this woman and asked if there were any cancellation and she managed to get in to see her after a few months. The stuff she wrote down was very spooky, she told her stuff my wife feels it would have been impossible to know and listening to some of it my you shiver.

    This is one on one not group, mind you and even my wife who believes in it isn't interested in going to the group things they have in pubs etc as she feels they are to showy.

    I honestly dont get people saying they are ***** just praying on the grieving and vulnerable. If someone believes in it and it helps with their grieving, then its not really a con is it. The loss of my mother in law at just 55 was quick and unexpected and really knocked my wife for six. Visiting this medium was a fantastic help to my her.

    If you are considering seeing one then you should consider this woman. You dont have to be grieving etc to see one. The lads I worked with just went out of curiosity.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    It's complete ********, although to echo andytyke below, it does give some people solace. Still a set of parasitic *******s though.

    Absolute ballacks in my opinion, cold reading etc. and a morally repugnant way to make a living.

    This is a tricky one for me as I'm totally sceptical of everything,but apparently my grandmother was one of the norths most celebrated mediums after the first world war,and was in great demand travelling widely,she was born a catholic and converted to spiritualism....the difficulty for me is accepting that the person I knew,my honest upright Grandmother could have been a fraud,it's just so difficult to reconcile.My mother is also a believer.....I would have to have it proved beyond doubt

    There's a reason the James Randi prize has never been claimed.

    Sounds a bit like me buying a season ticket year in and year out! Well, apart from the death bit!

    Hahahaha brilliant!!! Nobody knows before a season starts how well or poor we will do. Yet we have our cash taken from us when we don't know what we will get in return or if it will be value for money. Plus we don't sell many tickets compared to other clubs in our league.

    Either genuinely deluded or doing it for a laugh I would think.
