BUYER BEWARE: WARNING SIGNS ON WHAT TYPES OF PSYCHICS TO AVOID

They charge . . . a lot!

I understand the argument that psychics, who are so in demand for their talents that they’ve decided to quit their day job at Walmart in order to devote their time to the profession on a full-time basis, need to charge to earn a living. But $500.00 an hour?!? That’s more than some hotshot lawyers or doctors get paid!

They charge to remove a spirit.

I get e-mails from sobbing women who say they’ve emptied their bank accounts to a psychic who promised to remove a haunting but it didn’t work. They ask me how much I charge and if they can work on a payment plan. When I tell them I never charge, I think it sinks in that they were taken advantage of by their psychic. Again, I understand a psychic charging for a general reading, but if they have “add-ons” like spirit removal, or to offer their assistance in passing a loved one on, that’s pretty much psychic fraud in my book. There’s no governing body determining who can and can’t actually remove spirits, so for psychics to take advantage of the pain and desperation of others is a little concerning. Why not pass on the loved one as a free bonus to the reading? It seems heartless not to. You can walk down to a priest and he’ll say an entire mass for your loved one with no financial expectation.

They ask too many questions.

As explained in the cold reading sidebar, some psychics ask a ton of questions, such as “Is your grandmother well?” That opens the door for them to make comments without being completely wrong. If you say, “No, my grandmother isn’t doing so well,” the psychic can nod and say, “I thought so.” Whenever a psychic tries to read me, or if I’m using a psychic on a case, if they ask me a question, I usually throw it back at them without giving them any answer. If they ask, “Is your grandmother well?” instead of answering, ask, “Why do you ask?” If you’re paying $500, they should be doing all the talking and answering, not you. Please don’t fall in to that trap. They bait you to try to get you to pour open your heart so they can make comments about things they know you want to hear.

The best psychics in the world . . . don’t charge!

Psychics like Michelle Belanger and Lorraine Warren do not charge for their services, which is why I respect them so much. I believe psychic ability is a privilege that should be used to help mankind; 99.9% of the psychics out there are frauds, so beware!
