Does anyone know how to speak to dead people? Could they tell me how I could learn to do it?

There are so many great people who have died, that I really, really, really like a lot, and I want to talk to them and communicate with them. I'd really like to be with them, but that's not going to happen unless I die.

I absolutely hate the fact that these wonderful people have died, and I really want to bring them all back to life somehow.

But does anyone know any ways I could learn to contact dead people? I'd love to talk to them. I'd love to find them and have conversations with them.

ummmm
i assume u r being silly?

i dont believe in contacting dead people...

I call them. One time I meant to call Selena and George Washington picked up lololol


;)

i dont believe in contacting dead people...
Ditto

ummmm
i assume u r being silly?

No, I'm not. I really want to do this.

Is there anyone here who is involved in mediumship, who could give me a few pointers? I read that all people have a psychic ability, but in many people, it is repressed.

I really want to find my psychic skill and learn how to contact people who have died. There are so many things I'd like to say to them.

I believe in psychic ability, but I don't believe it is possible to talk to dead people. After all, they are dead.

the whole idea is silly and immature

i have found that the people who believe in this sort of thing
are usually easilly influenced people or kids

i hope you are not serious about this stuff
its not legit and its harmful to boot!

But there are some mediums who have contacted dead people who have gleaned so much information from them, that they couldn't possibly have known otherwise, that it seems certain that they really have contacted this dead person.

I know there are many mediums who are fakes. But I believe that there genuinely are some people who do manage to contact dead people. It's just something I'd love to do.

there are NO mediums who have gleamed ANY real information from ANY dead people
and i challenge u to prove otherwise

if u have ANY PROOF of such claims
id ask u to please put them forth

PS "Proof" does not mean "because they said so-- or they have a website with unsubstantiated claims"
Proof is objective, third party verification from recognized scientific or medical experts

I know what you are talking about, Michelle. I know that Sylvia Browne is one of those people, I believe. Here's her official website:

http://www.sylvia.org/home/index.cfm

Sylvia Browne? get real

she is one of the worst

she uses the CLASSIC Scam techniques and does the BY THE NUMBERS COLD READING routine that has been around for 100s of years

she just plain out fishes for info and then hooks people in

she is the worst!

PS none of these "mediums" have a shred of proof for their claims----

maybe some things cannot be 100% explained but that does NOT mean they talked to the dead

and IF i repeat IF they did, there would CERTAINLY be some solid proof from an objective third party to back it up

and i challenge u to prove otherwise

I'm afraid I haven't got any proof.

But I still believe that it is possible to contact dead people.

1. It's impossible to talk to a corpse.

2. Even if there is such a thing as ghosts, they do not talk, as their vocal cords and other parts that create a voice are still sitting in their dead bodies.

As cool as it would be, you won't be talking to a dead guy anytime soon.

I'm afraid I haven't got any proof.

But I still believe that it is possible to contact dead people.

ANYTHING that is true
CAN BE PROVEN
if it cannot be proven
it is NOT real

just because someone believes the Moon is made of cheese, doesn't make it so

What the hell do you care?? She's interested in it and wanted to know if anyone could help her. You've made your point yet you keep on acting like those you keep bitching about. Take a look in the mirror, monty. Hypocrite.

Why do I care? because this type of Belief in Mediums and such stuff is harmful to people and to the good of the nation

these type of charlatans prey on the desperate and those in need and it's disgusting
people like sylvia browne are getting rich off of other peoples misery

I have an opinion on the issue and am posting as such, you seem to be here simply to insult me for no reason!

if it cannot be proven

I know that's true in many cases, but no one can really prove that God exists, yet many people (myself included) believe in Him.

I will give u that one

God cannot be proven by science

HOWEVER most all of these "Mediums" can and are proven to be frauds

and GOD isn't in it to become rich, but look at how much Sylvia Browne makes each year!

If you look into the topic objectively you will see that it's all smoke and mirrors, and that these people prey on those in need and it's shameful.

Who made you guardian of the nation???:lol: You've made your opinion but now all you are doing is belittling Sharop. Not trying to insult you just showing how much you are acting like those that you constantly complain about.

I know that's true in many cases, but no one can really prove that God exists, yet many people (myself included) believe in Him.

Sharop, you believe in whatever you want. This guy thinks he's the keeper of all knowledge. Let him babble on all he wants.

I will believe in whatever I want, Bobby. :) I'm not offended by Lamont's posts, though; he's been polite and I don't think he means to upset anyone.

HOWEVER most all of these "Mediums" can and are proven to be frauds

I think the key word there is "most." I agree that most mediums probably are frauds, but I do believe that some are genuine. I have read about cases where a medium has been in contact with a spirit, having no information about the dead person, nor the person's family and friends, and having conversed with the dead person, has found out all sorts of things. I'm afraid I can't remember what these cases were, offhand, or who the mediums were, but I think these are cases of true ones.

I know that just because I read about them, it doesn't make it true, but I can't believe that all mediums are frauds.

Well that's 3 posts on this thread-- off topic, just attacking Lamont (see a reoccuring theme here?)

im not belittling anyone on this one and it DOES Matter if people believe in nonesense

if someone made a statement that " I BELIEVE THE EARTH IS FLAT" they would find a lot of responses to it, all negative

Wanting to contact the dead as an interest in often a sign of another issue/problem that is not being dealt with

and this type of interest in self destructive and harmful

I urge you, despite whatever u might want to believe, to look into these things "objectively" using your head, not just your heart
and see what your intellect tells u about it

Wanting to contact the dead as an interest in often a sign of another issue/problem that is not being dealt with

I really do see where you are coming from, and I understand why you feel the way you do.

But I don't really see anything harmful about trying to contact dead people. My Dad had a friend whose mother was a medium, and she told my Dad that she contacted his father. He didn't believe her at first, but she described him, and then she told my Dad that his father had been worried about a ladder. This convinced my Dad that she had seen his father, because the a neighbour of his mother had borrowed their ladder and hadn't returned it, and he hadn't mentioned this to anyone, so there was no way his friend's mother could have known, unless she really did speak to his Dad.

I will believe in whatever I want, Bobby. :) I'm not offended by Lamont's posts, though; he's been polite and I don't think he means to upset anyone.

Thanks Sharop, im not trying to be ugly at all, and Bobby F knows this as well(if u read my comments today on CHIT CHAT-- u will see that bobby f has been using threads to insult me unprovoked today)

USUALLY these reports u read about a success a medium has had are NOT objective, they are written with a PREDETERMINED OUTCOME. The person WANTS TO BELIEVE and therefore will believe.

Google the work of Houdini, who WANTED to believe too, and he spent YEARS trying to seek out true mediums but even with his vast resources, he found EVERY ONE HE WENT TO, to be a fake

some are better than others--- but there is always an explanation

its like when u see a magician, some are not good and u can figure it out fast, BUT then u get a DAVID COPPERFIELD who makes the statue of liberty disappear??? IS IT REAL?? not at all, its still a trick, he is just better at trickery

im sure u know how to Google things? if u can find ANY CASES AT ALL, with any proof at all, id pass out

if u still want to pursue it good luck, but try to use your head, people tend to become "victims" of this stuff when they start wanting to believe so bad that they leave logic behind, just be warned

i see what u mean

BUT doesn't it seem odd to you that "the dead" always speak so vaguely??

why would his dad say he was "worried about a ladder"? why not just be direct?

i see these mediums and they always ask leading questions like
"I see an old lady with a cane, do u know someone like that"
or "I see the name mark, or mike" why not just KNOW the name?

a medium once told a friend of mine that her dead mother was wanting her to think about jewelry... ok pretty vague
BUT my friend said out loud "MY MOM WANTS ME TO HAVE HER WEDDING RING!"
ok maybe, but why wouldnt her mom just tell her that?

Thanks Sharop, im not trying to be ugly at all, and Bobby F knows this as well(if u read my comments today on CHIT CHAT-- u will see that bobby f has been shadowing me, not replying to the Topics and just insulting me over and over for no reason)

Notice how much more polite you became when confronted with your own hypocrisy??

Shadowing you?? Get over yourself. It's a public message board and anyone can post anywhere they want. You've been on the poli board and CC board and you call that shadowing?? What a complete paranoid.:crazy:

and NO i only call it shadowing when 1 member makes over a dozen posts on 2 threads--- not a single one of those posts relates to the topic at all, and every one of those posts is directed at taking potshots at the same member! all anyone has to do is read this thread and the other thread from today, and u can count how many times this member has been "on topic" and how many times it's just been a personal pot shot!

I think Lamont is being over the top, but I do agree that it can be harmful. Lots of people want so badly to talk to loved ones that have died, so they go through lots with mediums and such to get to do it. For instance, white noise [which was a terrible movie] - where people supposedly hear loved ones, it is not the loved one but an evil spirit taking the form of a loved one to trick you. It just can be dangerous. Be careful. And calm down, Lamont.

BUT doesn't it seem odd to you that "the dead" always speak so vaguely??

That is a good point.

I don't really know how to explain it, as I still don't know much about these matters. It might be because communication between a living person and a dead person is probably quite complicated, since they're both in separate worlds, and so perhaps it is sometimes hard for the medium to pick up on anything more than vague statements.

I don't really know, though.

Hi, thanks for chiming in and i coudlnt agree more
sometimees people get pulled in to this type of stuff because they are hurting or have a question that they cannot find an answer to, and it often leads them down a wrong path

That is a good point.

BUT if a "spirit" can communicate CLEARLY about a LADDER or piece of jewelry, they could just as easilly say the words that make sense!

what seems more likely? some Strange haze that prevents clear communication? or, that the "medium" doesnt REALLY have any information and is just trying to be vague in hopes that someone picks up on something that they relate to?

Sharop, u seem like a good natured person, and im sure your heart is in the right place and all
just be sure to approach things with a grain of salt, if there is some truth out there, i hope u find it
but just dont get stung

Lamont, can you invite yoour friend Bobby F over to the TP Board for a week?

Only thing is, he can't bring his http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/images/buttons/report.gif button with him.

or, that the "medium" doesnt REALLY have any information and is just trying to be vague in hopes that someone picks up on something that they relate to?

That is possible, and probably happens in a lot of cases, but I don't think it applies to the medium that my Dad knew, because there was no way that she would have known about the neighbour having borrowed the ladder, and if she had been trying to be vague in the hopes of finding something that could relate to my Dad, the chances would have been very slim that she'd have instantly come up with, "he was worried about a ladder." That's why I believe that she really contacted my grandfather, and my Dad believes it too.

well if they believe it then they believe it
but that doesnt really prove anything

i still think that if my dead father had a chance to contact me
his message to me would be about a neighbor who borrowed a latter

seems a bit odd

anyhow, just be cautious and use your head

Yet you always respond back to me. So by your logic, you're "shadowing" me back!!:lol:

I love too but I've been told to stay away from there. People get their feelings hurt. I ain' the one that uses the report button. Might want to talk to Monty about that one.:p

Carry on then, the world can't have enough rabble rowsers :D

Oh really? must have got you confused with one of the other girly men that run around here (wouldn't want to mention any names but uhhh, well they know who they are)
And what baloney might you be selling?

I guess pming people to continue fighting is more manly to Joker.

ease up, didn't mean any harm by it. just friendly jibberish

I'll erase everything.

Fine. A little jabbing here and there is acceptable, but calling Chit Chat members girly men for no reason, that won't fly.

You would know, who was he pming again? Oh thats right it was you.

Wasn't that the same post where you continually defied another mod on their forum?

Lex, do you have any idea how I can go about contacting dead people?

Though I would love if it were true, I believe you cannot contact the dead.

And anyone who claims to be able to is a con artist plain and simple.

You can believe whatever you want.

The thing is, there will be money involved and that should clue you in.
Obviously if you can talk to the dead you should be making a living doing it.
:rolleyes:

I do appreciate that there are a lot of mediums and psychics who are fakes.

But I do believe that there are some genuine ones.

I see nothing wrong with them using it as a career. It's a gift they have, and there's nothing wrong with them earning a living off it. Musicians and actors make their living out of their gifts (music and acting) so why shouldn't real psychics be allowed to earn money from their gift (being able to contact the dead.)

there are gifted people who are naturally more in touch with the deceased than others. i became a bit that way shortly after my mom died; long story short, i was actually being with her in spirit while i dreamt, and I KNOW THAT. there isn't really any precise method of communicating with the dead intentionally, though ouija boards have worked.

ps: to those who are being all "oh yeah, well why don't you PROVE that you can talk to the dead!" about it, it's your right to believe that no such things can happen and i accept that, but i've had many paranormal experiences in my life even aside from communicating with the dead that simply cannot be scientifically explained, and that's proof unto myself that such things do happen in this world. i don't need to 'prove' it to anyone else to verify that they happened, so don't shove your belief that no such things are possible down my throat. you can tell me things like "oh it was like totally your imagination" but i would know and you wouldn't, they didn't happen to you. it's your prerogative to believe it was my imagination or something, although in some cases that's no possibility; just don't insist to me that it's true.

pps. it's totally mature to bump up a thread from two months ago just to start a petty fight with someone.

Lex, do you have any idea how I can go about contacting dead people?


I have always been a HUGE sceptic but my mom is very into the spritual side and once I heard a tape from one of her sessions with a psychic. I am an extremely logical person and will try to pick things apart but some of the stuff that was on the tape sent shivers up my spine how accurate the information she quoted when referring to 3 seperate family members who had passed on at different times.

I am still extremely sceptical but I do believe there are things out there that we have not yet been able to explain and people who seem to tap into that. If you are interested in that type of information I would recommended books by Sylvia Brown or John Edwards both have been used by the goverment in helping with cold cases and both seem to have an incredible gift.

I've seen several books by Sylvia Browne and John Edwards, and have looked through them, although haven't read them in-depth. What I've read seems quite interesting, though.

I've heard some people say that John is a fake, but then, I don't think anybody can say for sure. From what I've read, he does seem like he might be genuine.

just don't pay ANYTHING to anyone. It's your right to believe what you want; just do it smart. Don't let someone take advantage of you.
