[quote=gothicqueen;240248]Wow thats great the fact that he got a name and knew he Earlswood is right in one respect you DO get loads of fakes out there (Derek Acorah is def a fruit bat and I would take every thing he said with a pound of salt) some of them are just out to rip you off, but you do get good ones.
Derek Acorah is my sons best friends grandad and I have met him a few times and he is a lovely fella. The way he is on stage is all a stage persona!!
I have seen him in the Liverpool Empire and Southport Theatre and both times he was spot on with what he had to say.
I have never believed in it all and the only reason I went was cos I got free tickets but was pleasantly surprised when i went to see him.

Im sure he is a lovely guy, however he has been proven too many time to be a fraud, its been also proven that he has plants in the audience as well as before hand finding out whats what when doing programmes such as most haunted.
Im a member of a paranormal investigation team, and have been on loads of investiagtions, and believe me its nothing like most haunted, other than some of the equipment we use, and the mediums certainley dont get possesed like good ole derek does. His is pureley a stage act, entertaining it is, but I just wouldnt believe anything he said.
This just goes back to what Earlswood said, there are some frauds out there,
However this is purely my personal opinion of the guy, Im sure there areplent of people out there who think he is great and thats fine.

I had a reading Once and I don't ever want to go back again... No not because it was bad, in fact quite the opposite. The guy I saw told me things about myself that no one else knew, he told me about my family and friends, and he even knew that my ex husband sat in my living room ripped our weeding photos and burnt them on the fire. How could that be a fraud? I didn't utter one word! He knew I had 3 children, yet I had no photos and was in the house alone.
The reason I don't want to go back is because he told me I am going to have a good life! (which I have) so if I go back it'll be a waste of money, because I don't need to know anything else.
Good for you Mandy! Colin is fantastic................ Go Get that Visa Girl xx

I wasn't talking about most haunted I was talking about his psychic shows!!
I have to admit that most haunted is so far fetched but I think it is quite funny and i think anyone who believes them must be a bit deluded anyway!!!
But I would'nt go as far as to say he is a fraud cos he must do something right cos he is doing alright for himself and has alot of followers including well known stars!!!
I wish my house was the same size as his anyway cos then I might be able to sell it and get to oz!!
A few years ago, my mum had a reading done and before she went, I said as a joke, 'by the way, ask her if I will move to Australia one day?' When my mum got home, she said she had forgot what I had said, but as she was leaving, the clairvoyant said, 'tell your daughter, she will go to Australia!'
I have seen and heard things from the other side and its definatley not a con!

As I said people like him and thats fine............... His stage show is probably great, I just dont believe he is genuine thats all.
BUT.. its not just most haunted that he has been found to be getting info before hand, a medium I know was on the same show as him and he was a bit worked up as it was his first big show so wentin the toilets, he locked himself in and Derek and his manager came in and were discussing who he was to direct his 'messages' to in the audience and what to say, the other medium stayed in the toilets till they had gone and when Derek went on stage, he said exactly the things that had been discussed in the toilet!
He has a huge following I dont disagree, but it doesnt mean he is genuine, he is to me personally, more of the old fashioned parlor game type of mediumship,
If you want to see a genuine psychic/medium the best place to go is a spritual church, you pay about £3 to get in and they have guest mediums on each week, weve been told some amazing things that noone else could possibly now, for example 2 years ago I lost a baby, I was convinced it would have been a girl and we decided to call her Eden, the medium told me I had 3 babies in spirit world (whih is true) and the one I was recently greiving for was a girl called Eden, there was at the time only myself and my hubby that knew her name. And Eden is not the most common of names so its hardly something you could just pluck out of the air!!!
Im not disputing Derek may bring some comfort to some people, but he is not my cup of tea, and wasnt he a footballer for Liverpool for a while? Wonder if 'Sam' told him which sideof the net to pocket his balls
Im sorry if my opinion offends you, being as you kind of know him, Im just going off facts that I know about him, so no offence meant!

Does anyone over here watch that psychic murder show ,the real life one,not the medium mother and daughter one, i think its called 'sensing murder ',where they test 100 psychics and pick 2 to try and solve old unsolved murders? fantastic show and the 2 picked normally pick up all the facts and end up with a name!! well worth watching

Oh yes, I love that show but they keep taking it off and putting it back on when I am least expecting it! I am naturally a skeptic but that show does give me the creeps sometimes when they are so uncannily similar in their readings. I dont know how they do it but it is amazing. I would like to see Kelvin Cruikshank's show.
To the OP, I cannot imagine what a buzz that must have been for you! I havent seen Colin Fry over here but am tempted to go and see one of the bigger name mediums just to see what it is like - not that I think any of my dear departed rellies could be bothered to come back and give me the benefit of their wisdom although there are a few genealogy problems I would like them to sort out for me! Good luck with it.
