Sick Psychic?

[LazyGun]

A self - proclaimed psychic uses a high profile case of a missing girl to generate some self - publicity and ultimately personal gain.

Said charlatan then goes on to express surprise that the parents of the missing girl were distressed by his claims that she was dead. What a scumbag, to trade on the personal misery of others.

There is nothing even remotely entertaining about this low life....

I never did understand why this shameless buffoon was given TV airtime.

[bigbadmarty]

Utterly disgusting individual - surely there must be some law against these liars depriving vulnerable people of money ?

Even if he genuinely thinks he's been in contact with a spirit guide whose told him whatever he should have had the decency to keep his stupid mouth shut, if he doesn't genuinely think that he should be horsewhipped.

[naomi24]

Shame on him!

[marval]

He should have kept what he thought to himself.

Derek Acorah claims a Spirit called Sam told him Maddie McCann was dead.

Sam's last name wouldn't happen to be Buca would it?

[jno]

the newspapers shouldn't be running this. People like Acorah can say what they like but there's no need for the Sun, or the Telegraph, to tell the whole country.

Mr. Roach should learn to keep his deluded and lying gob shut.

[askyourgran]

Shameful.

Nutter. I can never work out whether these people are self deluding idiots or evil manipulative charlatans. Either way, they are a waste of oxygen.

Sadly, and irrespective of his "spiritual sources", he is very probably right.

[birdie1971]

Since all so-called psychics are frauds (in my opinion) it goes without saying that Acorah is a fraud. However, unlike most psychics, he's actually been caught red handed acting fraudulently by his own film crew while filming an episode of the utterly ridiculous 'Most Haunted'.

He's a publicity seeking charlatan who shouldn't be given the column inches nor the airtime to spread lies and conjecture masquerading as fact. He should be ashamed of himself but people like him don't know the meaning of the word.

It kind of reminds me of a story about the American psychic (and millionaire), Sylvia Browne who when asked on TV about a boy who had disappeared several weeks ago, told his distraught mother that he was now in the spirit world, ie. dead. This 'reading' turned out to be particularly egregious when the boy in question turned up a few days later and was found to have been living with friends a few blocks away from his mother after a family argument.

[birdie1971]

Mike - “... he is very probably right...”

He may well be but that's hardly the point!

Any one of us can have an opinion on whether or not Madeleine is still alive. But what he's doing is fundamentally wrong – he's giving a definitive answer to the family which he claims is based on fact but which is based on nothing more than a guess. Worst of all, he's doing it to shamelessly promote himself and it appears to have worked.

[mike11111]

Bloody hell, someone else knows the meaning of the word "egregious". I thought that it was my sole prerogative. Birdie must have done Latin at school to recognise the phrase "ex gregis".

[Philtaz]

Au contraire mike11111, 2:26 of the clip as any fan of TLOG would know.

//“I don’t think she’ll be there long before she reincarnates.”//

So is he hedging his bets? He says she’s dead, but if she’s found alive I suspect he’ll say she’s reincarnated. What a disgusting piece of scum he is – and I don’t normally use language like that – but in this case it’s highly appropriate.

[jno]

no, re incarnated means (for these purposes) her soul is born again in another body; if she was found alive, she wouldn't have been reincarnated.

[ojread2]

It wasn't so much he said she was already dead but the fact she would be reincarnated that would have pi***d me off

Wasn't he proven to be faking a lot of his bumps in the night anyway?

[B00]

Mr Acorah, who made his comments to the Sun while promoting his latest tour

What a coincidence!

[naomi24]

jno, I know what reincarnation means. What I'm saying is if she's found alive, I wouldn't put it past this creep to say that she had been reincarnated into a girl who might resemble Maddie years after her disappearance. He'd have to justify his comments somehow. Heaven forbid he should lose his credibility! :o/
