 I think this lady was a fraud who made one lucky guess. .Even broken clocks are right twice a day.

If she had real insight why the need for parlour games and fake props?  Her knowing about the ship is I interesting though.

 Genuine psychic mediums don't need tricks.  They tune in like a telephone, as.it comes from spirit.

 I agree. But it was an easy unscrupulous way to make quick money back then. I have seen photos of levitating tables and wonder how they did it!

As it was a very long time ago the photos are blurry and black and white. I do wonder how fake mediums  managed to make a table hover in mid air without her stunned guests noticing how she's manipulating it !!

 Fingers under the table, or sure attached.  So easy to fool people.  Give real mediums a bad name😡

 Derren Brown videos are well worth a watch. The mind is a malleable wonder.

He hates the fakes as much as we do.

This is Oscar, a cat that was adopted by an old folks home that correctly predicted the deaths of over 100 residents by spending time with them when he sensed they were in their last moments.

 Sorry to respond to such an old post but this thread is my sort of thing  and I'm going through it from the beginning. I missed it somehow when I joined 

I have posted before I think cats and dogs can sense thinks humans can't including undiagnosed diseases and as lovely Oscar here shows, they even know when someone is about to pass. I like to think he didn't want them to be alone. 

Knowing Oscar 's reputation I doubt residents would always be too pleased to see him though..!

 It's funny you say that because it's a Derren Brown book I saw the pictures in!

I don't know how he does what he does but he isn't psychic or cold reading..however he made it clear it wasn't true insight but extremely clever trickery. At least he's honest.

I used to love his programmes, people must give away cues about themselves when they talk to people who know what to look for. He was very talented, hasn't been on tele for years now though.

 I caught up with the TV progs I’d missed on his YouTube channel. He fascinates me and love his honesty.

Have you seen his art? he’s a talented, fabulous painter https://derrenbrown.co.uk/art-store/

Ayatollah Khomeini, the founding leader of the Islamist Regime in Iran, once said: “Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.”

 Well, what a nice chap he is. Digs ,you said Bonnie Blue was all that is wrong with the world and whilst I don't share your view I certainly respect it.  Maybe more applicable to the West though where everything is about sex and faith and spirituality have been abandoned. This man may consider himself religious but imo he is the epitome of evil .

It's like the Western World has lost its spirituality and is so consumed with physical appearance , celebrity and things that really don't matter. Whilst I think it's admirable those in the East continue to adhere tirelessly to their faith men there are just as corrupt as the West but in a totally contrasting way. Islam has been twisted to suit men's need to control women as shown by this devastating post. 

What had these virgin ladies done that they deserved death in any event? Islamic men do not follow the true teachings of the Qur'an, they play God with people's lives. If their God does exist I wonder what awaits them.

 Islam is all for men.  Women are second rate, treated very badly.

Nope..

 Wouldn't get me up there.

Why do it in the first place if she is so terrified.🤔

 There is something beneficial to doing things you really don't want to do and that make you very uncomfortable..

But I'm going to find a different way to challenge myself..

 Do you fancy scuba diving? It was brilliant, quite a challenge because I have snorkelled a lot, but never gone right down. Even better if there are dolphins, corals, and interesting things to see once under.

---

 I would do it, but I don't know if that's really a challenge unless you have a fear of the ocean, which I don't. I have snorkeled with dolphins and all of the critters in the sea..

I'm talking about something like this which is probably what this girl was doing........

"What exactly does Misogi mean? It’s an ancient Japanese practice and ritual of purification. In traditional Japanese culture, misogi involves immersing oneself in cold water or standing beneath a waterfall to purify the body and mind. But in modern times, misogi has taken on a broader meaning. It’s all about pushing your limits, confronting your fears head-on, and rediscovering the raw, untamed strength you didn’t even know you had.

At its core, misogi is about transformation. It’s about shedding old habits and beliefs, and embracing a new, powerful version of yourself. By pushing your physical, mental, and spiritual limits, you’ll have a breakthrough that will transcend all aspects of your life. You’ll gain a newfound sense of confidence and courage, and better handle the challenges that life throws your way.

Maybe some people might gain from frightening themselves rigid to do something pretty pointless, personally I would rather reserve my time and energy doing things I enjoy doing.

The most testing thing I do nowadays, is swim in the sea with no breakwater with the constant risk of a rogue wave whirling me under.
Scary, exhilarating, and embarrassing ... especially when your cossie gets rearranged.

 These are generally bucket lists type things..

Something you might do once a year. And it's not always about being frightened..

It could be to hike up a very difficult mountain. 

The idea is to take on something that has a significant likelihood of defeating you without killing you.

For many people, life throws challenges as at you. Someone living in Ukraine right now for example..

But westerners for the most part and especially the younger ones have very easy lives without significant challenges. That's why the young need to do something like this on occasion.
