  • THESE PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE PYSCHIC THEN APPEARING ON THE TV SPECIALS SHOULD HAVE A BACKROUND CHECK BEFORE HAND OF ACCUARCY TO THE NEAR 100% MARK. DID SHE SOLVE CASES OR NOT. PSYCHICS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE NAMES PERFERABLY FULL NAMES & LOCATIONS ALONG WITH OTHER PERTINENT FACTS. THIS IS WERE JAMES RANDI IS RIGHT & SEARCHES FOR EVIDENCE OF THE SAME. IF ONLY A FIRST NAME IS PRODUCED & CONFIRMED, HELPING AUTHORITIES SOLVE A CASE WERE AS OTHERWISE THEY WERE A STANDSTILL THEN THIS IS POSITIVE.

  • @ATLANTICCITY24 then it would be desserted since no psychic has ever solved a case

  • @ebrobaru I DISAGREE.

  • @ATLANTICCITY24 Ok, prove me wrong. When has a psychic ever solved a case?

  • @ebrobaru HERE'S ONE CASE OF MANY. A grizzly murder of Michael Dickens is solved by a doubting detective and a gifted psychic, John Catchings. PLEASE REVIEW THIS.

  • @ATLANTICCITY24 Hmm, I thought that you had something here. However if you are basing this on a tv show, then unfortunately you have nothing. Is there an independent report of this case, which is not from tv?

  • @ebrobaru A SITE BY VICTOR J ZAMMI.COM HERE IS A LIST OF VERY GOOD GENUINE PSYCHICS. HERE LAW OFFICALS ARE THANKING & CONFIRMING PYSCHIC ABILITES. I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION & BROUGHT A LITTLE MORE OF A POSITIVE LIGHT ON THE PSYCHIC CHANNELERS.

    SADLY PEOPLE LIKE URI GELLER & JAMES HYDRICK DISGRACED THE WHOLE PROFESSION. HOW ANYBODY WAS FOOLED BY THIER TRICKS OF SIMPLICITY & THEY ROSE TO THE LEVEL OF FAME THEY DID AMAZES ME.

  • @ATLANTICCITY24 I am well aware of Victor´s website and work. He is a vocal supporter of psychics however he bases his whole agenda on his beliefs and his personal intepretation (very loose) of events. He never provides any evidence of his claims. I meant something in the line of any Police Department anywhere, that accept that any crime was ever solved by any psychic at all

  • There are good and bad psychics, thats all. I had readig done over the telephone, in a different country than my mother died, the medium on the other side didnt even know how I look like or my last name. She got my dead mother spot on and I am never going to give up psychic readings, because there is such thing as life after life you just need your own experience.. And I have to tell you I am not religious, I don't believe in God but after the reading I am not sure anymore..

  • @mordaniela you were conned by a good listener, nothing more

  • TRADUCETE IL FILMATO IN ITALIANO PER FAVORE

  • I don't believe or indulge in fortune telling and have never gone to a psychic, but I met Rosemary about 10 years ago at a recording session. There was no way that she could have known anything about my life. Yet, she stopped mid-recording and "saw" a man standing behind me. She told me many things about my deceased father and also information about my old house that I was repairing at the time. So, there may be circumstances where one has to question her ability or verify it. It was very spooky

  • @JarvisRose She always "sees" a man or woman standing by the readee. It´s just a common trick

  • thats horrible that they're making their fortunes off of others like that.

  • these people lost love ones close to them. they need comfort and are willing to do anything to believe that their love are are still with them. so these fraud like altea take advantage of them.

  • If people want to feel comfort for what these psychics are doing that's fine. The problem I have is how much money they make telling all these lies. And why is it all ways your mother is in a good place why not say I have your mother here and she's came up from hell and is pissed off.

  • @adzzy OMG. I think you've met my mother.

  • It never fails that when someone with a little faith is happy, some jerk has to make themselvs known and piss all over there parade. Why don't you assholes just let people believe what they want to believe instead of sacrifising someone's smile for your egotistical shallow craving to be right.

  • @jasminecoty So next time some thief takinga purse from an old lady, just leave it be. After all, the thief is happy!

  • @milkveins,

    Why can't we judge her by this video? Why should we take your word instead? You, an unknown entity on the Internet? Really?

    Did Rosemary Altea ask the person who he wanted to contact, before the reading began, and then regurgitated that back to him later?

    Yes.

    Sorry, but that's cheating.

    Ask yourself this: How many times will you allow a psychic to cheat, before you admit he/she is a fraud?

  • This video IS Bullshit! I've personally experienced a reading by R.A, and I can confirm she is the real deal. NOBODY spoke to us prior and we were chosen at random out of abt. 1000 people. As skeptics, we did not to give out any info that would "help" her fish around - nor did she try. Her reading was spot on and she is no fraud. She is the real deal - you can't judge her by this ridiculous video. I can judge because I experienced her gift. Wise up, people!

  • @milkveins LOL! the jokes on you morons that actually buy this bitch's bullshit.

  • @milkveins you are a very gullible person.

  • @milkveins Lots of people rave about how good this or that psychic is. They say that "she told me my birthday" when in reality she might have said "Does such and such a date mean anything to you?" They ignore the times that she gets things wrong. She'll say things that apply to everyone such as "You have some problems with motherhood." Everybody has problems with motherhood whether with their own mother, getting pregnant, not getting pregnant etc.

  • If u watch this closely u will learn how to fool people... Modern cons... People still fall for this bullshit, thats wats annoying...

  • Rosemary Althea gives me the creeps. There's something very disturbing about this person.

  • It's a shame that we have created a society where people stupid enough to fall for this crap survive to procreate.

  • When you meet a Medium, you often tell her who you're trying to contact. It's the proofs she gives to you during the entire hour the session lasts that convince you that she's being honest.

    Obviously there are many who lie and cheat and take advantage of people's despair and sadness, but it's all about faith, and believing.

    If you watch this video, at least I can assume that you had some doubts. Fair enough. This video though proofs nothing really. Why not just asking a medium personally?

  • @LeBabaau of you ask a medium directly, guess what the answer will be?

  • hm interesting...

  • Lol there is no life after death that why believing there is a god ease is fear

  • Phil 105 D Hill!!!

  • This is sad. It's one thing to entertain people, but an entirely different thing when you trick them into thinking they're actually contacting dead loved ones.

  • what an evil woman

  • i would love to ask any beliver what makes you belive in this rubbish . it is praying on the extremely vunerable and therefore is totally horrible .

  • I write her with facebook and she ask me money to do something, to said me something...and I understood she is ugly person!

  • Rosemary Altea is a horrible, disgusting, individual who should rot in jail. She's evil, she says obvious things and uses cold readings.

  • @mephistophelico i understand that you're so keen on your skepticism, as are the hundreds of others bashing rosemary. to be honest, i'm still on the fence about this whole psychic thing. i picked up her book today and read the first 60 pages. the way she can describe certain encounters seems far from bullshit actually. why would an individual devote a lifetime concocting an entirely fake identity along with fake events they've experienced and people they’ve met? try to answer that.

  • @monstermortal Why would anyone concoct fake events? Well, firstly, they may believe it themselves. It's very easy to distort memories, and to forget about the less exciting events, we all do it. Also... money. There's TONS of money to be made conning believers. There are plenty of people who are outright con artists, some of them are "psychics". Not all of these frauds are complete cons though, many have fooled themselves.

  • DaMzNaUtE .we don´t need to. She is a fake. Get over it. If you still want people to tell you that you are stupid, ok . You are stupid. You´re welcome

  • @ebrobaru it's pathetic that you need to belittle people over the internet to get your so-called point across.

  • @monstermortal If you are referring to me calling DaMzNaUtE, he asked for it specifically. If not, then I don´t what you´re talking about.

    On your question to mephistophelico, the answer is simple: Money

  • @ebrobaru if it's so simple then why hasn't everyone thought of it? just think, there has to be some basis of truth within all of this otherwise the public wouldn't have taken notice of her. maybe it's just wishful thinking but i think it'd be nice if this were real. the book has a lot of positive insight. and if you don't mind me asking, do you believe in any religion?

  • @monstermortal A lot of people have thought of it. That´s why there are thousands and thousands of pshycics around. Some are known nationally, others locally. DO you think that they can be so many thousands of people with the "gift"? Of course not. And yet, I bet many people that has thought of that have something called integrity. Anyone can think of being dishonest. Maybe you have sometime. But you don´t go on with because you have integrity. These people, don´t.

  • @monstermortal Some of these psychics have more exposure than others. Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, John Edwards. They are very well known. Their marketing is astounding. It doesn´t mean they are real.

    Hey, I would love to be able to talk with my deceased relatives. Anyone would. But so far, that´s just a parlor trick. There are many instances where these psychics could prove they are real. But they always refuse with nonsense excuses. Interesting, isn´t it?

  • @monstermortal I am not commenting on her book writhing skills. She may be a great writer, but she is no psychic at all. I do believe in a higher power yes. I don´t believe in organized religion. It is made by man, hence it has man´s flaws. Still, that is irrelevant to this matter, whether I believe or not.

  • @monstermortal Are you for real???? keep telling yourself that there is some truth to it, you fucking moron. I am sure you can tell all about it after you croak you bat-shit fucktard. And yes I am calling you names because you fucking deserve it......."monsermortal" what??? prove it monster douche-bag!!!

  • @fzappa007 LOL bless your soul "fzappa007" only the greatest most intelligent people argue through a computer screen. that was sarcasm by the way.

  • Comment removed

  • It's amazing how people go to see a "medium," and one of their relatives just "HAPPENS" to show up. What a coincidence!

    I can't stand so-called psychics, mediums, faith healers, etc...ALL FAKE!

  • No need to. I can tell you right now. SHE IS A FAKE

  • u believe her ? ur stupid. prove me wrong

  • read at least one of her books...then come bak 2 me and tel me im stupid..

  • HELLOOO ??? She is NOT a psychic. She is a fraud. A mathematician is more accurate than these ppl.

  • @DaMzNaUtE What would reading her books prove? I'm well aware that she thinks she's psychic, and will probably provide all kinds of exciting stories to back up her claims, but the fact that she wrote it down doesn't make it true.

  • Why has are psychics so vague? Why has a psychic never won the lottery? People need to get out of this fantasy world. Do they really believe this stuff. There is NO evidence to support psychic phenomena. Any evidence is shaky at best and not properly tested. I have noticed that this sort of cold reading is powerful. In fact, cold reads help me pick up women. That is because people love to be told things about themselves. For whatever reason it is powerful.

  • Whatever she said that was right she got it by fishing for it.

  • Psychics engage in cold reading; you ask questions and get information and you use that information to fabricate what the listener wants to hear. Ever notice that psychics ask a shitload of questions? And they always look to the person for confirmation? That's how they know that they are on the right track.

  • kaepslaer,

    Surely, you cannot expect people to be convinced just because you, an anonymous user, claim that an unnamed psychic is the real thing?

    Would *you* be convinced, if you didn't believe in psychics, and someone else said what you said?

    If you do, then you have a terrifying low threshold of gullibility. It sure doesn't take much to convince you of something.

    If you don't, then you think that everyone else are more gullible than yourself.

    Come on. Such stories are simply not credible.

  • Ok so how about this psychic talking the million dollar challenge?

    You order a ticket for your friend. So it was a show? and yet you think it was real.

  • There is a medium I've seen who accurately and repeatedly described deceased people for a number of my friends without any prior conversation with them at all. In one instance, my friend and I turned up late. I had ordered her ticket over the internet and he could give her very specific information, some of which she had to later verify herself.

  • Why generalise that all mediums are fakes because of one instance? I know through personal experience that this is not so.

  • Sylvia Brown does this, Van Praag, John Edwards, etc. It's one giant con.

  • Thanks for this, lost my copy of this and can now update my site.

    For anyone who doesnt know Altea was recently conned out of $153,000 by her book keeper, full story on BadPsychics

  • @BadPsychicsTV Good. Bet the skank didn't see that one coming.

  • what a fraud

  • I totally agree that these people are total scum, but it takes two to tango. They could not exist if it were not for gullible people so desperate to believe. Like Bernard Madoff - he was total scum but the people he conned out of their life inheritances were simply greedy - expecting stratospheric profits on their lofty investments. One cannot exist without the other.

  • This lady is human trash. Making money off other's tragedy. I hope she can't see a speeding bus either.

  • This is gonna ruin her career

  • @exoraider no it won't, people still fall for peter popoff, why? b/c people are gullible. People like this should be shot though. All psychics are frauds and scammers, no different than your average thief or hustler, they should all go to jail, UNLESS there's a sign that says for entertainment purposes only

  • please people STOP FALLING FOR BULLSHIT!

  • lovethisfarm, didn´t you watch this video at all?

  • You have proven nothing.

  • I can't believe how these people can live with themselves... making tons of money over other people's grief and misplaced hope.

  • what losers this people are to believe con artist bullshitters/ they ough to hang althea

  • Good point, but I don´t necessarily agree with it. Many many people do indeed believe that these charlatans are the real thing. But many, when shown the evidence, will understand and come to grips with it. Of course a huge number of true believers wont accept it no matter what. Those gullible ones are the perfect target for these scammers.

  • I return again. It's ok us thinking 'People who believe in this are stupid' that was my attitude for sometime but I think it comes down to a personality trait. People who know the truth are high 'OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE' and people who won't listen to the evidence of obvious truth have the personality trait 'CLOSED TO EXPERIENCE' or low openness to experience. I suppose it's not their fault they just don't like change inc beliefs.

  • No she isn´t. She´s a big fraud. If you believe in her you are a very gullible person.

  • No evidence? Are you sure you watched this?

    She was caught redhanded. It is clear that she´s no psychic. It has been shown over and over and over. And you still believe she is? There´s only two possible explanations for that. Either you are very very gullible, or you work on her staff.

  • Ummm did you watch this? "I get for some reason your mother is nervous.." wait for reaction from guy...No reaction so rose mary turns it around. "Which is so not like her..." Ahhh now there is the response lets go with that and build on that.

    Ok now mr frankmat does some one hold your hand through life because you don't understand most of it?

  • Yup I watched it. He took a part of the reading which may well have been genuine and he has twisted it to make it look like she got her information from body language.

    Ever wonder why you only see 30 seconds of a psychic reading that would normally last 15 mins? Why is that? That's because the skeptics focus on what they can explain and ignore what they can't.

    That's not science thats bending the truth to fit your agenda and you are a gullible idiot drowning in it.

  • Another sucker!!! There really is one born every minute.

  • I return here ever so often to just say. All mediums are fake. They all use this technique. COLD READING (also a book by Ian Rowland I recommend you read it if you believe in this) If only people did research. Look at the origins, no one hundreds of years ago claimed to speak to the dead! This 'medium' thing was invented in Victorian times as a parlour game. It's not a muli million industry taken advantage of people's lack of psychological knowledge. It's a basic magic TRICK!!

  • I don't know if there is anything in this stuff or not.

    But surely some sort of law has to be passed, that if someone claiming these powers has prior knowledge, they should be required to declare this at the outset.

    Failure to do so, should then open the possibility of prosecution.

    We are afterall are we not, talking about potential fraud here?

  • Altea is a KNOWN FRAUD, even among her peers (other, less know frauds) and has been partially responsible for the LOSS of 'clients" due to her sloppy "info gathering techniques". She is CONSTANTLY caught, even during one-on-one readings.

    She contacted my DEAD sister... LOL - My mother was AMAZED because she never gave BIRTH TO A GIRL! In other words, I never had a sister... Just one that I claimed I wanted to contact, which she GLADLY found on the "otherside". LOL She's a FRAUD (read CUNT).

  • I meant galaxy.

  • do believe their gov', do you?

  • The head director came out publically on Video Stating that UFOs are real and that america should not be afraid to tell their citizens the truth.

    I am not on this bandwagon, Here is why, once you acknowledge that you believe in this, your beliefs are somewhat skewed in order to fit this. But it is surprisingly amazing b/c, let's say you lived in america. If NASA came out publically saying UFOs are real and not of this earth, would you be skeptical or believe them. well the french citizens

  • 7- Cannot agree w/ you anymore, unlike SETI, I don't search for extraterrestrials with 20th century technology when they fail to realize the vast amounts of possible earths like us in our solar system in their equation, anyways, 10%, yes of course, but I can clearly see that you have not spend 1 whole week investigating these reports or researching documents, which I have done both for quite some time.

    As you may know, Recently France's space agency CNES, equivilent to NASA in America.

  • Agreed upon by both parties? Well of course, but not to the point where the challengee has no margin of failure but extremely satisfying odds to win.

    4- makes no sense.

    I have never said again, that ufos are aliens, that is something ufologist have developed, also known as roswell fever.

    You are really starting to backtrack w/out researching. Like i said, I got tons of piles of evidence to support my theory, You are so close minded that you don't want to unblock so you can see the evidence,

  • Then you said I claimed that psychics were real, telekinesis, esp and all that other crap is real? Right, You care to show me the proof, or are you speaking from your ass again?

    I have provided so much overwhelming evidence to support my theory os unconventional, NOt E.T crafts zipping our airspace wince pre-WW2.

    You failed again, according to Randi himself, he is the final judge as to who passes and what is evidence, not scientist working for him.

  • ebrobaru Good one, you said you are a skeptic but since you said this is the last time I don't see you as skeptic but a debunker, "my mind is already made up, don't bother me w/ the facts".

    Then you simply said, this is the most ridiculous claims so far,

    You said that I said all 10% of unexplained sightings are extraterrestrials?hahaha, That is Stanton's Theory, My theory which holds more water, says that the crafts are unconventional not e.t in origin

  • ebrobaru If you don't know what a theory is let me explain it to you, A scientific theory is not imaginary ones like "invinsible unicorns" but for example the theory of relativity is still standing, but later it can be mispredicted, The theory that I proposed is unconventional crafts zipping our and many other developed countries air space. Here are my facts,

    . radar

    .trace

    .pictures/video(1919 eclipse were pictues)

    .declassified documents

    the list goes on and on, just e-mail me for more.

  • Ok foundoutthat, this is the last time that I repeat myself, so please try to pay attention.

    1. Randi has never claimed to be a scientist or to have any type of scientific background. Is that clear enough for you? All tests are done on behalf of the JREF by reputed, independent scientists experts on their fields.

    2. The million dollars are real. They are on bearer bonds available immediately and have been notarized.

  • 3. The MDC rules and protocols are clearly agreed upon by BOTH PARTIES BEFOREHAND. What part of that you don`t understand? If the stipulations are nearly impossible to fulfill it is the applicant´s fault since they have agreed to them in advance. Of course they claim that they can´t win because, under controlled conditions, they can never validate their wild claims.

  • 4. Claims and reports on pseudoscientific journals and websites by pseudoscientists cannot be counted as scientific proof. The same goes for studies conducted by biased and bogus institutes.

  • 5. YOU, my friend, have claimed at one time or another that UFOs are real, that psychics are real, that telekinesis, ESP and OBE are real, and that astrology and dowsing works. Or have you forgotten by now? Yet, so far, you have still not provided a single credible evidence to support these claims, basing them only on personal beliefs and anecdotical evidence.

  • 6. The information you provide about UFOs is indeed interesting and deserves to be studied more closely. However, from that, to conclude that automatically it means aliens, that´s a GIANT leap of faith, hardly in accordance with the scientific method.

  • 7. I am not a debunker. I am a skeptic. I just don´t take for granted wild claims. I need concrete evidence as proof. What´s wrong with that? If and when contact with extra-terrestrial intelligence is made, I will be the first to be ecstatic about it. I sincerely hope it happens in my lifetime. But so far, no credible evidence exists on such matter. Yes, there are a 10% of cases that remain unexplained. But mainly, due to the lack of evidence, not enough information, unverifiable data, etc.

  • The difference with believers like you is that unexplained means extra-terrestrial, while for us skeptics it means just that, unexplained.

    8. You, my friend, have resorted to personal attacks and name calling when someone doesn´t agree with your beliefs. You have shown that you are incapable of maintaining a discussion in an adult and mature manner. That´s why I have made my decision to ignore you. I only answered this last time to clarify things. Good luck.

  • I can't say the same for several members of the CSICOP including your admiration Randi who unlike Stanton, he does not have a scientific background to claim evidence for his (supposed) 1 million dollar challenge. Well, looking at some of the comments in various pages left by you, I can clearly acknowledge that you are very inconsistant in your beliefs. I have only claimed one (*paranormal*)/unconventional (if it even is) Theory,

  • ebrobaru Your comment was marked as spam, not by me, but by whom? It is obvious that you don't have a scientific mind. Here is why., 1) If a window is broken in a home and goods are stolen, then that is evidence of a burglary.

    With that said, If a physical craft left indentations on the soil with levels of radiation, it is called trace evidence of an unconventional craft(we have numerous of these). In actual facts, many reliable and TRUSTWORTHY scientists respect Friedman's position.

  • ebrobaru you gotta be kidding me, what was that comment about the Iq? Stanton Friedman? The facts are something that scares the shit out of you, and you know it. As to holydave, it just so happens that the article was posted on daily grail, nothing more to it, like global warming skepticisms in Science Journal. Ebrobaru, you want facts, I got Stantons phone # in my phone book, he will love to argue your points(if any) about ufology.

  • foundoutthat, I guess that the meaning of "ignore" is a mystery to you.

  • Comment removed

  • holydave I will not sink to the level of ebrobaru but you make an exemption. I will not refer to SRI, but I clearly pointed out the daily grail article they have on Mr. James Randi being proven wrong by un-biased scientists.

  • SRI is not the only scientific institute in the world.

    As to the Daily Grail article, referring to a paranormal phenomenon on a website devoted to advancing pseudoscience proves absolutely nothing. If I wanted to demonstrate to you how bad Ronald Reagan was by pointing you towards a site written by Nicaraguan Socialists, you'd probably take me up on that (besides, I think the Contras killed most of them).

    Also, Parapsycologists are not unbiased scientists. They have an agenda other than truth.

  • I know you see this ebrobaru, by the way, thanks for blocking me, but to sink that low to ridicule someone's IQ for believing in their personal beliefs sinks to the level of your admiration Mr. James Randi. I am not surprised in the least of ways,. I will provide you with the articles you want of skeptics being proven wrong, google daily grail james randi and if you need more articles I got them, I got tons of them ready for you pseudo skeptics that sink to the level of ridicule like dawkins&JR.

  • By "Article", I'm pretty sure Ebrobaru did not mean a biased two bit piece of "journalism". Considering we're talking about scientific matters, the assumption you should have made was that was speaking of an article in a scientific journal, or from a well sourced, impartial and established news service, such as Reuters.

    In any case, you cannot prove a skeptic wrong when the thing they are skeptical about is, from the claims of those who exibit these so-called "powers", inherently unproveable.

  • holydave, there are some people, that not matter the evidence, they refuse to accept the truth if they don`t like it. Their best argument is to attack and resort to namecalling.

  • Yeah, I get that alot. Still, you've gotta love the screaming little genius girl:

    "you know i took the test 3times. haha it was higher everytime. "

    I mean, come on, how could a genius completely miss the point of IQ tests?

  • you know Skeptics are proven wrong on a daily basis...? seriously check out all the articles on them. they are pathetic nerds who need to feel important so they tell other people how their beliefs are wrong and that only science can prove anything.. Like God. yeah the universe and the big bang theory. Skeptics are pretty much the dumbest thing on the planet. oh and guess what...? Im 16 and my IQ is 167!!! and you dont see me walking around telling people whats right and wrong

  • Your IQ is 167 and yet you believe in psychics?

    Ok, point us to an article of a skeptic being proven wrong on this matter please.

  • I can tell you that your IQ test was clearly wrong. Is that number in dog years or something?

  • haha yeah it was wrong eh..? Im so dumb cuz i believe in psychics and shit like ghosts. WOW.yeah fuck imma dumbass. the genius grant means fuckall to a 16 yr old GENIUS who believes in STUFF THAT MATTERS....... 167.. 16yrold. you know i took the test 3times. haha it was higher everytime.

  • "you know i took the test 3times. haha it was higher everytime."

    Yeah fuck you are a dumbass. If I took the same IQ test 3 times, I'm pretty sure I'd register as a genius too, it's called practice. The fact that your score improved meant that you changed your answers each time you took the test; the point of an IQ test is to quantify base intelligence - taking the same one again completely defeats the puropse.

    God your comments are hard to read.

  • actually it was the genious grant!! hahah idiot

  • What? What relation does that have to what I said? Is a nonsensical piece of drivel the best response you, a "genious", can conjure from the dark depths of your vast intellect?

    Maybe with your immense and unfathomable genius you can see links between your comment and mine that are otherwise invisible to mere mortals, but from where I'm standing you just look like a fucking cretin.

  • ebrobaru No, actually you have won that award for believing Mr. Randi's challenge holds the truth to all perinormal evidence.

    debunkingskepticsdotcom/Page30­.htm

  • you can check other articles on that webpage as well

  • Skeptics are fucking dumb. I've read her books and I've met Rosemary. She never asked me any questions about my Travis before we actually started our session. She knew things only my Travis knew about me. SKEPTICS WILL BURN IN HELL

  • Congratulations! You have just won the gullible and deluded of the month award!

  • Hahaha. I hate it when these sort of people prey on the desperate and foolish. It is quite easy to infer things on a very short basis. Some people just want so badly to believe.

  • Giving these people false hopes is the ultimate form of faggotry. Fuck this lady in her stupid ass.

  • stabyourcat - it is possible to put forward your point without being homophobic or crude.

  • I find my insults to be very minimal in light of what this lady is doing. And really, if you were offended by what I said, you're either an over-sensitive wussy, or upset because you actually put some faith in this false prophet.

    That said, fuck this faggoty lady in her stupid ass again. Without lube.

  • "Too many people enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

    --John F. Kennedy

    In 500 character spaces that would be impossible. If you REALLY want to know, take out her books, or listen on her radio and TV programs - call in even. Or go and see her if she is at an event near you, ask her the questions directly.

    I dare all of you to have an open mind instead of taking Penn and Tellers set up as the be all to end all.

  • Ok, why doesn`t she take the million dollar challenge? Shut us all skeptics once and for all, and in the process, win a cool million dollars.

  • Are you asking my opinion of why she might not do that? It would be only an opinion, and we've certainly read so many other's opinions about her in this thread.

    If you are looking for facts, if you want to know for certain, you might ask her directly. I am sure she has a link through her website for comments and questions.

    Curiousity makes me ask, are you a skeptic or a cynic? I am thinking many on this site are cynics - ad hominem comes to mind.

  • She´s been asked that live on natinal tv. But she just refuses to accept the challenge making a bunch of silly excuses.

    I am a skeptic. Until proven otherwise, I know that all these so called psychics are just frauds and toying with gullible people. Does that make me a cynic? Maybe.

    If and when someone proofs beyond doubt that he or she is the real deal, I will be the first to admit it.

  • Drifting to the audience members generally doesn't happen during her events for the reasons shown in this clip - when she gives people information she wants them to know it is true. Here is what I think happened: If you knew someone who knew Rosemary and you wanted an opportunity to get a message from beyond, wouldn't you pull every string you could to have some contact with your loved one? I would.

  • RUk1dding, you are so deluded. You have just been shown how she lies and just scams people. Here is the way she does it. And still you wont accept it. You just refuse to see the truth. There`s no worst blind than he who doesn`t want to see.

    Please explain how is she more skeptical than people responding to this thread.

  • We have been shown that a colleague of hers allowed people she knows to come to the event. We have been shown RA asked the young man who he wanted to speak to. Neither of these say the message she gave these folks wasn't true.

    Come to her event in October in Rutland , VT and see for yourself. Read her books. Actual first hand knowledge and gathering more information will answer your skeptical question. (Books in the Library are free so it won't cost you a thing)

  • I don`t need to go to any reading or read any of her books to know how these crooks operate. If you still want to believe after been shown all this evidence, it`s up to you. However you didn`t say how is she more skeptical than us.

  • I've been to many of Rosemary Altea's events. I will go to many more because I have seen first hand the shock, relief then peace that comes with getting a message from her on hundreds of seekers faces. They know she is real.

    I believe she is 100% genuine and truthful and more skeptical than any of the respondents on this thread are, which is why she is so good at what she does.

  • You are fooling yourself. Here is proof of the trickery these charlatans use to convince you, yet you refuse to believe when it's there in front of you. Your ignorance & attitude is what these people rely upon to become sucessful in deciept. How on earth can you think she's genuine. They plant researchers in the queue outside the auditorium to feedback who they're hoping to hear from. They use trickery & your suceptibility NOTHING ELSE.. Read COLD READING by Ian Rowland & you'll understand more.

  • what a slut

  • To paraphrase Hitchens: "It's a shame there isn't a hell for her to go to" What a Cunt.

  • SinT (part2):

    Furthermore, there are only a very few mentions of Christ and by just 3 historians of his day. If there was a guy going around healing the sick, raising the dead, feeding masses with miracle fish, walking on water, etc, there would darn well have been a lot more on the record. The lack of contemporary documentation of him tells us that the stories about him are not credible. They are just exaggerations and hype added on as the cult of christianity diverged from Judaism. Folklore!

  • omg i dont even know what that means lol lol lol

  • SinT:

    1. Go back to school and learn proper English.

    2. Jesuz' teachings per the gospels don't simply say "take my free gift". It comes with strings, such as having to have faith in something for which there is no evidence. He apparently was a fire and brimstone preacher, scaring people into following him, just like the modern day charlatans do. Also he seemed to always tell people to forget about tomorrow--very irresponsible. He was not "cool". He was charismatic but primitive and deluded.

  • She should be locked up.

    Evil bitch.

  • For Christians to note:

    Leviticus 20:27

    "A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads."

  • lol

    lets kill her in the name of God!

    and this video doesnt prove scientifically anything.

    i'm not saying shes not lying, but it's unscientific to simply say she's "caught cheating".

  • wow thats seems to be very unloving, the opposite of what as christians (followers of christ) Jesus taught us to do. just checking right, but didn't he like go out and meet mediums and working girls, tax collectors ect. to show them himself like he calls us to do?

  • Cherry picker! Jesus is the guy that started the idea that there is eternal suffering in Hell. What a nice guy!

  • well to be fair he didn't really start it but he did intorduce it so your kinda right and i get what you mean;) but also remember that he turned around and said we are really going to suffer unless we do something to be saved from all the bad stuff we've done as it's gonna come back and hurt us even more, so take my free gift of salvation coz i love you and don't want to see you suffer. So i like to think he isn't a nice guy but a freaking awesome one ^^

  • After watching these videos, I still don´t believe that people are still believing in these fakers.

  • owned

  • These women are cunts and the faggy men who do the same shit.FUCK THEM.may they rot in hell and I hope there is a hell only to imagine them boiling alive in their own filth for eternity.

  • Now look at this, a 40year old guy from ireland. He is one of the many faces of skepcism. He is ignorant, rude, lack of knowledge and closeminded. If this was the year 1300 he probobly be the first one to throw a stone at a woman and yell "witch".

  • Oh no kid.Believe me.That woman and her agent would be the first to see someone like me burn and they would give you front seat viewing.I imagine you would like that.I know what these folks are like and they use superstition to their own ends.She makes me angry because she is so cynical.she destroys my hope that there might be some real psychic connection to the people I once loved.

  • If you let one person destroy your belives, then your belives are not that strong.

    I see thousands of fakes all the time, but I still have my faith coz I know of the real thing.

    So either keep on searching or stop condemming.

  • She and other evil women like her have told people lost relatives are dead when later they turn up.She has no empathy.I studied and worked as a therapist and I can tell you she is doing no good and I hate met women like her and they are simply CUNTS.But my opinion doesnt matter to you for a variety of reasons which when examined would probably amount to predjudice.

    You cant be wrong so there is no arguing with you.
