They freak me out too Pengy.  I love going to them but as soon as they tell someone else their dead brother/granny/Mum is in the room I freak out and want to leave.  I don't want to be in the same house as dead people

I've had many in my tent 

I got scared the last time I saw one - my friend is very into these people and paid for me to be read as a birthday present - didn't feel I could say no.

Anyhoo she asked me if I was clairvoyant  so I said no I have no 6th sense and don't speak to dead people.  She insisted I was and that I'm not seeing the dead because my third eye is shut and I need to sit in a circle in a spiritualist church and it will open  and apparently I'm a rainbow child whatever that is.

She told me nowt about myself mind 

I once went to one of those nights.....wasn't booked, but went to keep peeps company and for the drinks and nibbles (as you do) 

One of my workmates went to have hers done and the CV picked up on me being there......she said to my workmate......tell her to book with me, I have something to tell her.....I never did cos I never got the chance 

It hasn't happened to me Ells, but I'm guessing none of them want to harm you? 

She was a mentalist not a medium Pengy  

Why, were you spirited away?

I know Sprouty and they are friends loved ones but I can't even go to a wake without having a wee freak out about being near a dead person.  Odd, I know 

read that oh Dameship one of the crystal ball 

 *covers ball*

this person likes the beach and all this related to the ocean.. tends to waddle and although sociable not much of an high flyer. I feel this person is a pescatarian and tends to abstain from alcohol  and likes to watch rugby 

   spot on except I'm veggie not pescatarian but the rest is accurate   *hands over £5

the last time I was home in Ireland I was at a wake - and I nearly freaked when they expected me to splash holy water around the coffin and touch the person - I splashed a bit quickly and away out of the room I went.  I couldn't even touch  my mammy when she was in her coffin to put her rosary beads in her fingers

   Obviously it affects everyone in different ways.

Now when I saw my dad in the coffin, he had that look on his face like.....yeah you going out for a meal without me......and that was one of the last few words I heard him say when we visited him in hospital and went back to my auntie's for tea..........it was just what we would have expected him to say  

Spirits might have been involved 

Not sure whether it's religious or Irish to be honest!

They die, they go to the morgue to get fancied up and then they come home and lay there for 3 days while people come in and out to see them and touch them   I'm not a fan of it at all.  I know some people like the comfort of getting to say their goodbyes but it's such a long time to have the body at home.

I agree!  And there's also the pain of having hundreds (yes, sometimes hundreds!!) of people come through your doors, using your loo, noseying around the house.  Nah, chapel or rest sounds perfect to me.

Can anyone read mine?

I see a baby girl in your near future and a trip to the chiropodist.

I'm told I have no sense whatsoever never mind a sixth one

I'll give you a fiver.

It used to be the custom in most Celtic countries in Europe for mourners to keep watch or vigil over their dead until they were buried — this was called a "wake".

With the change to the more recent practice of holding the wake at a funeral home rather than the home, the custom of providing refreshment to the mourners is often held directly after the funeral at the house or another convenient location.

Oh c'mon....pay what it's worth. That was pretty accurate right? 

I said it was big and a digit missing..how bloody accurate was that and not one penny crossed my palm out of that big pink mitt
