Well, I've taken PMs advice and started the thread about the time a medium/psychic predicted something that came true.
Many moons ago, myself and a few mates had a psychic evening, where a card reader came round to the house and read the cards for all five of us during the course of the evening.
I'm not normally fussed about this sort of thing, I really don't put much stock in it, but my arm was twisted to participate, plus, it worked out cheaper than a night out in Queens Court!
On the night, we had a few bottles of wine and some nibbles, the card reader turned up and chatted with us all in the living room for about half an hour, explaining what she was going to do, told us a little about herself and really didn't ask any questions about us. A couple of times she even stopped a conversation saying she didn't want to know about how we knew each other and the like.
For some strange reason, I was bricking it, so I asked to go second to last, hoping that having spoken to someone who had already had a go would calm my nerves. We each took it in turns to go off into the kitchen and have our cards read. As each of the first three came out, there were smiles and and excitement, new loves, job offers and such being the most common theme to come up. The one thing everyone had in common though was that they felt she didn't speak as she had when we were all in the living room, but more in a very similar manner to how each of us would speak, using favourite phrases and such. Now the first person coming out said that, but was saying it all while the second person was having their turn, so it wasn't until the third person went in that the manner in which she spoke was raised and discussed.
When it came to my turn, I went into the kitchen and she just smiled at me and said sit down it won't hurt or something similar. She used what appeared to be an ordinary set of playing cards, they were well worn and curled. Then she laid out some spread of cards and turned them over one at a time. She very accurately detailed my current situation. Then she laid out a different spread and, I'm not kidding you, almost every card was a black card. Now that made my arse nip! She went on to explain how there was going to be a very bleak period for me because of X, Y, and Z. Then she tried about four different spreads trying to get some positive news for me. Finally, she said I would be taking a trip over seas. I told her I was planning on a holiday to Malta, but she said 'No, much further than that'.
I left the reading almost in tears, as it was all bad news, about my home, my relationship, my family, the lot. Just this one ray of sunshine regarding a long trip. She did speak to me in a manner that I would speak to my friends, it seems to mean so little when written down, but honestly, it was significant.
Well over the next few months, the bleak period did descend, because of X, Y, and Z. The bad news about my home came true - the redecorating I began had to be stopped because once I removed the wall paper, half a wall came down with it! My relationship turned sour, but it doesn't take a psychic to predict that a relationship with someone who is married isn't going to work - so I don't know how much credence to give that revelation. The family prediction also came true, though many years later, although she didn't place it in a time frame. And I did get that trip further than Malta, I went to live in the Good 'ol US of A, down in cotton country. Had X, Y, and Z not happened, I'd have never met someone who would help put me on the path to the long trip.
She gets a 9/10 from me for accuracy.
