No.
Psychics, clairvoyants, etc. are at best "a bit of fun" and at worst, dangerous and manipulative frauds.
For me it's very simple - there's no scientific evidence for any of this stuff, so it's all just quackery!
Having been born into, and raised according to the teachings of the Christian Faith - as interpreted by the doctrines of the Church of Scotland - suffice to say at this stage, I like to believe there's an "afterlife" of SOME sort ... YES.
Otherwise ... ... WHY on Earth [literally!] is there such misery and suffering throughout the world ... were it NOT to prepare US (the so-called human race) for a "better place"?
Exactly my thoughts Arthur.
Its a fascinating subject especially with people who have had NDE (near death experience) and have described leaving their bodies and actually recollecting afterwards that they described a football and the colour of it on the hospital roof as they ascended above the hospital grounds then were brought back to their bodies.
Touchy subject but myself as a christian totally believe also...
i think this, if there is nothing to follow then why are we here to start with, - seems pointless, why bother with all of life's tribulations if there is nothing at the end of it?
I'll make the most of what is left of my miserable existence on this earth and not concern myself with pointless man-made fairy tales.
It all started as a ruse to keep the poor and ignorant under control, along with so much other religious stuff from thousands of years ago...IMO.
The concept does give some people comfort though, and that I can understand.
Pity it's abused by the muslims and their suicide bombers.
It'll be a cheap night...only takes about 2 pints to get me pissed these days.
Well i don't know what's happened to me (apart from dating a piss head from York) I get on train with sister,drink cheap champagne on train in plastic cups,start off in that pub towards micklegate, then hit all the pubs we can,finishing off in reflex and flares, taxi picking us up at 3am lol
I discovered Vodka red bull combo
Ps have you ever heard of Mandy from york?
Heaven for me is fast cars.
Yesterday I had a run out with some friends and acquaintances to Lotherton Hall for a car meet. Some tasty stuff there....here, admiring my dream car - Ultima Canam belonging to a friend (almost 600bhp of Chevy V8).
.
Some of the cars at the meet:

This is the biggest car I've EVER seen ! Must have been 20ft long.
.
I think there is nothing (we hope for eternal peace), if there was an afterlife, then it means there should be a before life, and we would be aware of our former selves!
I have beliefs but do not regard myself religious yet when first in bed at the end of the day my thoughts go back to my parents and departed loved ones.

If you believe in infinity, then you have already been alive forever
Get on with doing good in your life today, don't worry about tomorrow

no afterlife, one chance here and now.
as for ghosts etc, i've taken my dog and previous dogs for walks late at night and even 4 or 5am in the morning at the local cemetery for the last 20+yrs , some graves date back to the 1840's and i've never seen or heard anything supernatural
here we are just a wee spec in the universe a universe thats a small spec to whatever lies beyond it,
probably endless, there isn't anyone could persuade me that there is no maker no afterlife or before life come to that,
life and everything around us that can or can not be seen even yet undiscovered, can not be an accident , science and mathematics has to be precise for anything to exist, surely not by accident,
why are we here, to learn
People should be concern on what they can do here on earth (for the good/better) while we are all living and not about afterlife. It's a waste of time wondering or discovering if it exists or not. I think there's no point. No one would really know.

...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Once had a private reading with a very well known medium after a tragic loss in my family.
There were things he told us which nobody else knew, personal things to myself also to other members of my family.
It was really an emotional time but also gave some closure and I would say even more faith and actually a sense that we are never alone.
My first wife is a care worker, looking after and tending the sick and elderly in their homes. She's been doing that for years. Many times she would come home and tell me what some her chickens (endearment) would tell her..things like them seeing and talking to their mums, dads and loved ones at the bottom of their beds...these sorts stories would repeat themselves over the years by countless people whom she looked after ...it's as if a welcoming committee was being drumed up. Either way, it's a wonderful thought
did you record it ? if you did play it back and see how much they got wrong
i was watching something on you tube about James Randi, someone in the audience went to see one of these people and he asked the guy about it,he said he named 7 people he knew, james said he infact mentioned 42 different names and the guy swore he didn't and james gave him a copy of it to prove it
you only remember things you want to, derren brown also does it, and he tells you he's a fake
Actually I received a CD which I have played many times and on no less than 8 occasions did he give a message which was accurate especially how he told me the exact passing and what events occurred which nobody but only myself knew.
Infact all the information was true and thanks to that man he brought a lot of peace to my family.
No doubt you were charged for the reading?
If these people have no problem in using their "gift" for making money, why is this prize not yet claimed?

good they brought some peace to you, but if this is true, why dont police use them to solve murders, why do they come up with a load of general that applies to most people.
just watch the video, i think most people die of a heart condition , i think everyone has known a taylor - i worked with a guy who died in a motorbike crash called taylor
I'll believe it when one can talk to my dead dad and tell me my surname it would be many life times until someone guessed that right
I'd rather ponder the universe and it's wonders than watch rubbish on the telly, that's for sure but, it takes all sorts to make a world
Keys words here are ''doing good in you life today''.... as opposed to getting on with your life today.
Totally agree with Stewart's take on this
Although I try - and have ALWAYS tried - to live a decent life ... I cannot help pondering whether or not there's life after death.
Furthermore, I challenge ANYONE to deny the concept has crossed his or her mind.
Nobody alive today can possibly know for certain, of course; nevertheless, surely it's comforting to believe we shall be reunited with our departed loved ones someday. Otherwise - as I stressed earlier - : what would be the point of it all.
