Is There Such A Thing As Addiction To Psychics?
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsNPFSaOHi7wZnElG4ZePBlGtAcFFopYrYzvN_VgjysEe4I5ducv2xpCD7vKRIAnL_LombRWEPOUkq9sw_Kj4hT0wWnf7O3EVwgtvTqVwJX3cXqWJZBL0jsCS3VktGPIO0CVx_47VFpo/s200/4.png)
People may
imagine that the type of person who would become addicted to psychics are
the elderly, the vulnerable, the kind of people that watch shows like Most
Haunted while reading reviews of bingo sites, like those on
pgbingo.com. The truth of the
matter is that any person can become addicted to the feeling of a promise that otherwise seems unattainable.
This rush that the person gets when
they believe that they are speaking to a relative is all too real and
addictive. You believe that you are getting advice not from a stranger, not from the psychic/medium, but from your dead mother, your dead father. And whose advice would you want and trust more than those of people you loved the most, but are not with you any more. Nevermind the fact when they were alive you probably didn't take their opinion that seriously, but when dead surely all their advice MUST be the best advice, after all they have the spirit world to back them up! And this is the problem, the reality is you are not getting this expert advice from your dead mother, but from a stranger who is just telling you what THEY believe you want to hear.

This happens in all TV shows, on Have I Got News For You, have you noticed how Paul Merton rarely laughs at jokes? Apparently he once found himself edited to look like he was laughing at a joke he never laughed at, and since then he tries not to laugh, so that he cant be edited in such a way.
Even at
parties some hosts bring out a psychic to read everyone's future for their entertainment. The psychic's primary
aim in this situation is to bring in repeat business and upsell to
the party guests. They may get a few cold readings right and these
guests will then be more likely to visit them. They give their business card to all guests and hope to get some of them as repeat customers.
These are just a few of the tricks that
these psychics use to suggest that they hold some unworldly power.
This power can be enticing for those who visit psychics, which then
can be easily turned into an addiction. The fear of the unknown can
be very real and by visiting a psychic people can stave this off and
begin to feel a sense of control.

Psychics who hold themselves in high regard don’t
come cheap either, so it’s a slippery slope as their customers
become more dependent and can even be convinced to pay more. This is
an addiction like any other for those who truly believe their claims,
which is why we should be doing even more to debunk these fraudsters.
Think of psychics like you would a drug dealer, often the first hit is free, that gets you hooked, and then you keep going back for more.
My advice is don't even go for the first reading. The smartest people in society don't believe in psychics and mediums, and although we all like to think we are smart and cant be conned, we cant all be experts. I am an expert, and I am telling you that psychics and mediums are no more than a con.

Araddha Ekanto's Telekinetic Powers Debunked!
I don't know why I am even bothering here, but what the hell, Araddha Ekanto sent me the below video as proof of Telekinetic powers. Clearly they are using air from the movement of the hand to push objects. Clearly the first bits of paper are obvious, but then they move a can, first see their video.
And here is my video, doing the exact same thing, that I filmed without doing any practice, I just drank a can of pop, put the can on a rough surface (as opposed to the smooth surface they used which means even less friction, waved my hand, and voila!
Point is, if you see bullshit like this, there is ALWAYS a simple explanation.
Backup of their video if they now decide to remove it to hide the ridiculous

UPDATED: Most Haunted Ratings for Most Haunted Live and the following three Most Haunted episodes
Ratings are in for Most Haunted, and it paints a grim reality.
Despite getting HUGE numbers for the live Halloween show on Saturday, the next nights regular Most Haunted lost more than 330,000 viewers! And the next week they lost a further 37,000 viewers and finished as the weeks 4th most watched program on REALLY TV, even Escape to the Country beat them by nearly 30,000 viewers!
Surely that is proof that the fans finally turned on Most Haunted after the debacle and cheating of the Live show.

I wanted to update this page, as week ending 15th November ratings are in, and Most Haunted didn't even make the Top 10! Now I no longer watch Most Haunted so there is a chance it wasn't aired, but IMDB has it as airing on that day! So if it did air, it must have had less than 141,000 viewers, and didn't make the top 10! This is a complete disaster of ANTIX, and proof that the fans really did desert them after the Most Haunted Live debacle!
You will notice that Karl Beattie no longer tweets the ratings of the show since the Live show! Funny that!
