Reactions vary to psychic readings

TRURO – Some seek emotional guidance, others just want to know if they’ll ever strike it rich.

At the E.S.P. Psychic Fair, a handful of established psychics, clairvoyants, palmists and tea leaf readers are at the Best Western Glengarry today from 12 noon until 10 p.m.

Isle Lea, a German psychic now living in Orangeville, Ont., said the psychic group is touring cities across the country in an annual summer tour.

Lea has been a professional psychic for 30 years.

“Everyone has a psychic ability to some degree, but the more you practise it, the better it becomes,” she said.

She admits that her ability to be a clairvoyant, or to, “perceive matters beyond the range of ordinary perception,” is a talent she inherited from her grandmother.

A Hilden area woman, Valerie, expressed disbelief after her 20-minute session with Keith Atkinson, a clairvoyant and psychic from Toronto.

“He said everything that I have been feeling and that I’ve been through, very true to life,” she said.

She was feeling good because Keith predicted her financial situation would soon improve.

Others expressed a bit more skepticism.

“It was OK, but it was things I kind of already knew,” said Sarah, a Truro resident.

She said she still enjoys psychic readings because, “it’s almost like a challenge to see if they really do know what’s going on.”

Her friend, Shannon, visiting from Florida, was excited for her first psychic reading.

“I’m open to see if anything stand outs out.”
