Quote From: suzangmI 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
