So I was chatting away to my aunt about this and that, when suddenly, it dawned on me... "I can't be talking to you, you're dead".
"Ah sure, I only came to collect your uncle," she replied.
I got such a shock, I awoke with a start. I was sat bolt upright in the bed and realised that I'd been dreaming. Weird dream, I thought and lay back down on the bed. Two minutes later, my brother rang to tell me that our uncle had just passed away. I was able to tell him the exact time (8.23) that he'd passed.
That happened. I'm not suggesting it was anything other than a coincidence and I can only accept it at face value. It was a lovely, comforting coincidence, if that's all it was. If it was a supernatural experience, then fair enough, too.

It was late at night and fairly quiet on the roads and thinking it was a student etc on a do I thought nothing of it. In work a few weeks later we were talking about the subject and I mentioned this sighting jokingly. Appararently she had been seen by a number of people over the years and iirc she was something to do with the old Wythenshawe Hall when it was in its heyday.
Or someone dressed in fancy dress?
I think with all so-called supernatural experiences one has to ask themselves...
Are laws of nature suspended in my favour, or am I mistaken?
I guarantee it's the latter.
Precisely. The difference between a believer and non-believer isn't the experience that they have, it's the way they interpret it.
Have I thought I've seen something out of the corner of my eye? Of course I have, everybody has, the difference is that I don't interpret that as paranormal. I see it as evidence of how fallible my senses are. You literally cannot trust what you see with your own eyes and this is something a lot of people (understandably) struggle with.
Bingo.
No, because they're not fucking real (at least not in the dead person sense).
As for clairvoyants, mediums, psychics, etc... well you can't get much lower than these people really. Every one of them is a shameless charlatan preying on the stupid, the gullible, and, worst of all, the vulnerable. If it were down to me I'd prosecute every one of them for fraud and bang them up. I fucking detest them.

Might upset a few who have relatives who work as the above, but you're right.

Honestly, couldn't care less mate. Feel quite strong on this after seeing my Nan fleeced out of a lot of money seeing a so-called medium after my Granddad died.

I completely agree with you.
A lot of them are a disgrace and use grieving vulnerable people as a source of income.

My mum was a spiritualist and she believed. She wasn't a medium or anything like that, but she helped run the church. She played the organ for them and was on the church committee and she was as genuine a person as you would ever meet.
Personally I think its a load of bollocks but some people do find comfort in it and not all of them are charlatans. Most of the people I met through her were genuine people.
I upset a lot of people in the family when she died, because she wanted her funeral to be at her church with a spiritualist minister and I made sure she got her wish.
Some of them wouldn't even go to her funeral because their religion wouldn't allow them in a spiritualist church. Fuck em. Her last wishes were more important to me than upsetting some god botherers, no matter who they were.
