Suzan, I'm Just Wondering...

Quote From: suzangm

I share your same opinion. Psychic's do damage to those that use them. Causing families of Missing Persons to waste precious time chasing there "visions". I am a p.i. and have watched up close what a psychic does to families that are grief stricken, only to get hurt on even a deeper spiritual level than before. It's horrible what they do, and not from God. Look at my profile and follow the link to my blog where you can read the thoughts and experiences of those who have turned to psychics. I would like to see a show on these families that have been harmed, so others will not be hurt be traumatized, nor waste their precious resources. I appeared on the Van Praugh show some years ago as the families lead investigator, with the Shawn Hornbeck family only to hear the most ridiculous claims, of which "NONE" were true.  Shawn Hornbeck? Van Praugh claimed that he was being held in a train (on the show), pointing to me on a map. The family searched nearby area's after the show that matched his "vision" Wasting precious time, where other places needed to be searched. He claimed at a later date to have "been contacted by Shawn's spirit on the other side" when in fact, Shawn was very much alive, and has since been recovered. Fortunately after the taping, Shawn's parents and I went behind the studio... they asked me, do you believe his claims? I said...No. God would not use a person such as this to speak through. How about a show on the damage psychics do...so we can prevent people from being further traumatized?

Respectfully, Suzan

Suzan, you were obviously disappointed with Mr. VanPraagh's erroneous advice; however, any psychic worth his salt explains beforehand that, sometimes, they get the message wrong or that it was actually intended for someone else.  I am every bit a Christian but I also cannot argue with "what is is what is."  I've witnessed too many people who have given accounts of personal experiences and benefitted from the paranormal via a psychic.  Please don't write them all off, especially someone with the reputation of Mr. VanPraagh.  What I was wondering, though, is: Did you ever contact Mr. VanPraagh after this experience and ask him to give an accounting for his erroneous advice that he gave the family (and you) that day?  I'd love to know what he had to say about it. 

Most sincerely,

Judy Johnson

You Don't Win 5

Quote From: smgmarino

On the show today, Dr. Phil said to go to his website to register to win 5 free readngs with James Van Praagh.  Not only do I see where to register (probably because Dr. Phil wasn't in agreement with the way James wants to do it!) but when you go to vanpraagh.com, you can indeed sign up but...

You have to buy the book first!!!  It's not that I don't want the book but I already went to the local bookstore to get it!  I don't need it again?!!  So I can't sign up for the 5 free reading????

Sucks!!!

Dr. Phil misstated what one could win and how one could win it.  As you saw, the book has to be purchased first, which is OK since I'd already ordered it, but it has to be ordered either through Amazon.com or one other source - I don't remember which - but the main thing I wanted to say is that you don't win 5 sessions.  You win 1 of 5.  In other words, 5 people will each win 1, 30-minute PHONE SESSION with Mr. VanPraagh.  I was rather disappointed when I saw that it won't be a sit-down, in-person session but, hey, if Mr. V can do over the phone what he can do in person, and if I should win 1 of the 5, then I'll be satisfied.  After all, it's free and there are other things a person gets too.  Like you said, go to vanpraagh.com and it's all explained.
