Do you know any real live psychics out there who can demonstrate their abilities to a sincere skeptic like me?

I’m the real thing when it comes to being a skeptic. I’m awesome at it. I’m also very honest, realistic, and I admit when I’m wrong or impressed by a challenge.

Do you have psychic abilities? Do you know anyone who does who would be willing to demonstrate them on me?

Up front, I don’t believe in psychic abilities. I don’t believe in the spirit world or anything of that sort. So, of course I expect anyone who claims to have such powers or abilities to be misjudging and/or misrepresenting their reality.

However, I don’t think these people are necessarily lying or evil or possessed or anything else negative. For all I know, maybe these abilities really do exist and perhaps I’m just in the dark about it.

I’m interested in a demonstration from anyone you know who claims to have these abilities and after a session with them, I would like to share my experience on fluther. :)

Have you ever tried a psychic? Have you ever met someone who used to believe in their psychic abilities but who has stopped? Do you know any sincere psychic people who would be willing to demonstrate their abilities (perhaps more than once if necessary) to an admitted and sincere skeptic like me?

Sorry. You’d have to look deep into my hazel eyes and repeat the incantation 3 times while choking a chicken and patting your head at the same time.

No. The one I knew and was a close friend has already passed away. But she still calls my cellphone. But you did say “live” so…sorry-?

@ninjacolin – so sorry. Thought I was “Social Board” being picked on by a friend. My apologies.

If there were any, it seems like they would have earned this million-dollar reward for demonstrating their powers under controlled conditions.

There’s been some kind of challenge out there since at least 1982, when the sum was $11,000. Still enough to motivate a taker, you’d think, but the prize remains unclaimed.

I go with possibility vs. probability myself. ANYTHING is POSSIBLE, but is it PROBABLE?
I think there is a lot of mystery in our world, I’d never say never but the only psychic I ever encountered was at a party. She told me I was bothered by allergies…jeez, really? Did my stuffy nose and gravely voice give that away? lol

I don’t think there is any such thing. I was once accused of harming some one long distance by using mind power, but she later admitted that she was fooled into thinking that by the aliens who were controlling her mind.

I know that there are cases where police investigators have made use of psychics. I did a Web search and found this, which is of particular interest to me, because the search organization and the police departments involved are local to me.
