I have been contributing to a thread on a forum about experiences with fortune tellers, so I thought I'd share one of my tales with you guys.
OK, it's a bit rambling but bear with me. Back in the late 80's I was travelling around Australia with the intention of heading further afield. I had gone to Oz with a woman I had met in a bar in Amsterdam, we had got on really well and so planned a future of travelling S.E. Asia together. However, I split with her whilst we were staying together at her parents house when we arrived in Sydney, her dad was an incredible racist and was unbearable to be around so I moved out. I was on my own for about a month, managed to get a job and was starting to save for a solo jaunt but sad that I was left on my own. One afternoon I noticed an ad for a Tarot Reading fortune teller in a paper shop and thought why not? I'd never done that sort of thing before and I was curious as to what I might consider doing next.
So I turn up at this card readers house and we sit down, all very friendly, she started a cassette tape recorder to give me a copy of the reading and she told me to choose the cards. As I was picking these there was an almighty CRASH sound outside her flat, we bot exclaimed WTF etc and she stopped the tape as we went to look out the window. Two cars had smashed into each other on the road and with folk all running about around the smash we went back to the reading. I only mention this because it was really weird hearing the sound of the crash so loud on the tape she gave me afterwards.
She continued the reading and to cut it to the main points, she said I had split up with a girl, (I had) that I would get back together with her (I did) we'd go travelling all over Asia (we did) she would have a terrible time and get very sick (she did) but I'd be fine and have a great time (I did) and that we would eventually split up overseas (we did). OK so, it's possible all these "predictions" could be easily assumed, Englishman turns up in Aussie fortune tellers flat, he must be travelling, probably got a girlfriend, might go travelling etc but I am just telling the main points of her reading and there were other things which happened which came "true". So I am kinda biased towards there being something in the Tarot thing especially as I have never been to another since and still have the cassette complete with crash/full reading so hey, it might all still be bollocks but it's a tale.- https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn

- You and me both! So many times I start writing something on here and either check and realise i've already said it so delete, or just apologise and post anywayNairn
- haha, yeah and I can see that at least I was sticking to the facts and not bullshitting*
*not that I EVER do thatGardener - So weird, I had exactly the same thing happen to me in Sydney. She basically described my life. I’ll dig out her scribbles and post um!Ianbolton
- "OK so, it's possible all these "predictions" could be easily assumed" Pretty much this. Car crash is spooky thoughinteliboy
