The Psychic Lowdown

“A good psychic is a counsellor, advice giver, coach and a reliable shoulder to cry on,” says psychic Rose Smith.

But don’t go into a sesh expecting to find out the exact start date of that dream job of yours. “It’s not all about future predictions,” Smith explains. “Good psychics will give options [to problems] that you may not have thought of. They also allow you to vent, releasing pent-up emotions and stress. A problem shared is a problem halved.”

Jahn was convinced of the sixth sense possibilities, despite not having the support of his scientific peers. “If people don’t believe us after all the results we’ve produced [in studies], then they never will,” Jahn lamented.
