IT'S ALL BS!!!!!
People who have personally experienced ghosts, or talked to psychics who knew things that no one could possibly know about them, are not going to be convinced by anything you have to say. Just saying.

One of my cats died this year and he came back to visit. Repeatedly. I am not the only person in the house to experience it ... and it's still ongoing.

You trying to lecture us that such things don't happen is irrevelant to me.

All of them? Hm, you just lost credibility there. I can see how not every single person who claims this type of ability has it, but not all are charlatans. I'm on the fence myself where I'm open to the idea in general, but each psychic/medium has to convince me s/he is for real..

All BS? Wow. You're pretty certain of something without being able to prove it. You can't prove it doesn't exist, can you?

How do we know no one can speak with the dead? For me, I like to hear specifics which John Edward and Teresa sometimes offer i.e. validation, which there is no way the psychic/medium could know if they didn't have special abilities.

I wish clients/family members on these shows wouldn't give so much away when the medium is talking. It's hard for them I'm sure because they're in pain and in their grief, they want to facilitate as much as possible. It would be better if they kept their answers limited to yes and no, then we'd get a better sense of just how specific and accurate the psychic is, KWIM?

If this type of phenomena held any water it could be scientifically proven. But no psychic has ever held up under scientific study. The lack of any real hard evidence of the supernatural is proof.

I was there too! I didn't get a reading but what she told some of the people in the audience seemed to be very exact and correct. She is smaller in person than on TV. Larry (her husband) was walking around the lobby. I walked over to him and shook his hand. He walked around the lobby for a while. Some people took photos with him. I really wish I had gotten the opportunity to speak with Theresa but some of the things that she said made me realize that my dad and nephew (both passed this year) are ok.

How exciting, tell us all about it. Did she happen to read you?

Sounds great. About how many people are in the audience and how many of them get read?

I loved the part where she said she still can't believe she's actually a medium.

Someone mentioned they didn't understand why she gets so excited when she gets the information right or finds out the significance of what she says.

Evidently she's never gotten blase about it.

^^^ I agree. Many times Theresa acts as surprised as the client when she tells her something specific about their loved one. I like the fact that she seems gracious about her gift of being a medium.

Hi Vicki,
I feel the same way...I didn't receive a reading either...I was hoping, but understand she couldn't get to 2,800 people lol... I was hoping to connect with my dad, it's been 3 years and I feel like it was yesterday...I miss him SO much...and my grandparents as well... Theresa was on point, the 10yo boy who lost his dad was an amazing reading...we were all crying in my section, then laughing with his consistents "NO" lol; as I'm sure everyone in the venue was....what an AMAZING show...I hope she comes back next year Glad you had a great time.
