Mediums and Elvis's Spirit

[MissyM]

I'm just curious, what has anyone heard about Elvis being contacted in spirit. I know I have heard a story or two but never really paid that much attention to them. Anyone have more information on the subject. Of course there are frauds in that area, the subject still facinates me.

[Diane]

I'm very skeptical about mediums, I would like to believe we could contact our deceased loved ones but don't really believe we can....sure would be nice though.

Diane

[ksimms2]

I've not heard anything - but would be very interested to hear something...they aren't all frauds.

[SleepyJack]

Difficult to say really...I wouldn`t rule it out completely but a huge proportion of so-called "Mediums" are only playing games with peoples emotions and wishes....which I reckon is a pretty cruel and dangerous game.I think it would spook me out a bit if it were true...not sure I would like it.

[epmoodyblue]

mediums all fakes(n)..elvis is at peace:newyear::king:

[EnigmaticSun]

These paragnosts are charlatans and spreading bogus. Sadly, a lot of people are in need of some attention and get trapped in these pitfalls, to use a metaphor.

To early Christians it was not unusual to have a bond with the ancestors and the deceased, and I suppose this is also the case for a lot of other spiritual traditions. I don't think this is something to make money out of.

[Gary1]

There was a book that came out back in the 80's called Elvis Presley speaks Which was written by someone called Hans Holzer.That is the only time i've heard of smething like tht.

[ksimms2]

too bad John Edward or the other lady - can't think of her name (Lisa Williams?) - doesn't do a reading with Lisa and/or Priscilla. I'd love to see that.

[MissyM]

You and me both! I don't think all mediums are charlatans.

[EnigmaticSun]

There is more between heaven and earth, but whatever you pick up is not something to opportunistically (taking immediate advantage, often unethically, of any circumstance of possible benefit) draw attention with or to make money with.

I've had dreams about Elvis and heard him playing/singing the following songs:

-It's Now Or Never
-How Great Thou Art
-Welcome To My World
-Baby What Do You Want Me To Do

I was amazed to awake after "hearing" these things, but I sure did appreciate his music at night and that's what really counts. :)

[Getlo]

All mediums, psychics and the like are frauds, con-artists, liars and thieves in one way or another; each and every one of 'em.

Elvis is dead. No one has, or ever will, hear from him again in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

End.

Of.

Story.

[LianaKaralivanou]

I'd say to them (to the so-called Mediums), leave all the dead rest in peace. Including Elvis.

[riley]

You must be reading my toughts Missy.
I'm intrested in all those things, sceptical about some but fascinated by others....

There is one lady which broadcasts I always follow and when I see her on TV , I always have in my mind, IF she would be able to come to Graceland I wonder what she would tell. She seems to feel lots of "gone emotions, events, rows, etc etc

In the past I often tought, if only these walls could talk..... well IMO that lady really hears the walls talk and just imagine Graceland has seen and heard so much and yes I'm curious what she would have to say...

But I don't think she will ever be invited there, too much skeletons would come out of the closet I'm afraid and some people wouldn't like to hear that at all . Those in charge will never ever invite her I'm pretty sure....


Here is the link to her and if you ever have the chance to watch her work on TV, please do.... amazing lady really

http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/lisa-williams

[Josh&JodyKC]

Anyone have more information on the subject ??
We'd like to read those because they are fascinating ...and you'll never know if Elvis' strong personality and spirit still lingers on, even today...But buyt but: we ONLY want to hear serious comments and preferably from knowledgeable people themselves or their friends...no BS please ....:!:

[MissyM]

Getlo, how can you say that? I'm actually shocked because there is very good proof that mediums exist. I know one and there is no way she can know the things she tell people. No way!!! But no, she never charges anyone money. She just gets messages and tells people.

[LORRIELOVESELVIS]

(n):hmm:LOL:newyear:

[thedoc]

Once we exist,we always do.Death doesn't mean disappearence, or I do not think distance counts in that afterlife dimension.IMO, our lives on earth,just a little part of our journey,which must be longer than we guess.Well,I don't see anything supernatural in contacting death people we knew while they were with us,we are not only flesh and blood,otherwise, there wouldn't be any difference between persons and we would 've missed the joy of forum disagreements and arguments.lol

[riley]

that's a nice answer, I liked reading this

I agree with you,I've gone to a Spiritual church recently,where there was this Medium-Christine Bennet and the things she told me about my dad,who died in 1991 and about myself were spot- on,there's noooo way,she could have known that,because she's never seen me before! I do believe in life after death and I would looooove to contact Elvis' spirit as well,but I'm not his family,so it won't happen....

[maria1073]

elvis said that to talk to Jesse Garon. did that meen that he was a frauds, and he new that his mam spirit was at graceland

[Getlo]

No, MissyM, there is no proof whatsoever.

These mediums are very gifted in what's called "cold reading" (google it). And take a look at people like John Edward, the biggest crook of the all. They never ... ever ... say things that are specific. Anyway, it's too long a debate to get into here, but they are all frauds preying on the vulnerable and the grieving.

[Getlo]

I do believe in life after death and I would looooove to contact Elvis' spirit as well,but I'm not his family,so it won't happen....

Really?

Like what specific things about your dad? How did they ask questions of you? Did they say, for example, your dad's name was "John" or was it something like "I sense a J, K or L in your life ... do you know anyone with that letter in their first name?"

Also, what do you yourself look like? If you're an older person, chances are one or both of your parents are dead. These fraudsters are great at reading people like that.

And, how did you come to be at this church? Did you just front up unannounced ... or did they have your name and number beforehand? Or, if they hand a friend's name, they can easily look up theirs and your details to get some of these "amazing" details before you turned up.

People hear what they want to hear when charlatans like this talk to them ...

[maria1073]

well i have seen a spirit with my own two eyes

[MissyM]

They often tell very specific things, not vague things at all. Things they would not have a way of knowing. Just because they aren't perfect doesn't mean they are all frauds. Some I'm sure are a set up but not all. Why is it so hard to believe? I had a spirit in my house when I first moved in. I never said a word to anyone. Then my foster-daughter one day started telling me about this shadow that she would see in the exact same place I would see it. A few people including Elvis said they felt spirits at Graceland. We are energy, energy does not end. Personally I think Elvis was such a strong energy while on earth, I can imagine him visiting and people being able to sense his presence.

[Getlo]

They often tell very specific things, not vague things at all.

No, they don't.

They make you think they do with their cold reading techniques.

It's never "your husband Jim died of cancer in July 1986", it's always "Did Jim like the garden? No? Well, I see him on a green lawn. Oh, he liked golf then? Yes, that's what he's telling me to tell you ... look after his golf clubs!"

Look again at every John Edward reading: he is the master of this sort of crap. He and others lead people into telling them what they need to know to deliver "startling" information.

[riley]

I had a ghost in my house too, long story but I could never talk about it with anyone, afraid of being ridiculised. I never told my parents, nor my husband. One child of me reacted upon the presence too and that made it even more scarry. At first I really convinced myself I was only imaging things but my youngest reacted on it and years later she asked me one single question and I almost died at that same second because the question she asked made so much sense and made me realise I was not wrong in my idea of who it was from the very first beginning.

I'm raised very practical and rational and having such an experience in your own life and house, well let's say it sets your life upside down forever.
Since then I am very intrested in afterlife.

[MissyM]

Getlo, do you know anyone who can see premonitions or have contact with spirits??? I understand why people are skeptics about what they see on T.V. But there are ppl out there with a gift and don't take money. What about the ones who solve crimes. You think that is all a put on. A lot of good comes from ppl with these gifts.

[Getlo]

Getlo, do you know anyone who can see premonitions or have contact with spirits???

No, because they do not exist. However, I do know a couple of magicians who can do exactly the same thing.


What about the ones who solve crimes.

Despite what you have read and heard, no "psychic" has ever solved a crime anywhere in this world (or the next? :D)

[Getlo]

From http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/police-psychics.html

"Except in the extremely rare case in which a psychic was actually involved in the crime or had apparently received secret information (as from a tip), psychics rarely lead police to concealed bodies or unknown assailants. Of course they may use their own logical skills, or they may benefit from luck or perseverance, but there is no credible scientific evidence that psychic power ever solved a crime. Instead, crimes are invariably solved by police who search crime scenes, interview witnesses, and perform all of the myriad tasks necessary to locate a missing person or to convict a criminal.
Common sense suggests that if psychics really had the powers they claim then they would long ago have identified the "Unabomber" or have discovered the remains of missing Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. If they cannot accomplish such missions individually, how much more telling is their collective inability to do so."

[MissyM]

Ok you have your source but since you don't know anyone then you are basically taking the word of others for your proof. Well, we are a bit off topic in a way. And I don't want to be a pest. All I know is that I have seen it for myself. There is a misconception that gifted ppl can talk to a spirit any time they want, or get information anytime they want, or what they get is perfect. It is not due to humaness and the fact that just like some people are more gifted in playing music, some are more gifted in abilities in the psychic area too. If you have not known one or experience anything, I can see why you would think it is fraudulent.
Getting back to Elvis, so what do you think he was experiencing?

[Getlo]

Getting back to Elvis, so what do you think he was experiencing?

If it's true that he talked to his dead twin brother, then I suggest he was utterly delusional ... ;)

Same with his UFO crap, the moving of clouds, the healing by the laying on of hands ... etc

Delusional.

[Getlo]

Ok you have your source but since you don't know anyone then you are basically taking the word of others for your proof.

Not at all.

I have gone to several psychics and have exposed all of them as frauds.

At best, they are deluded people who think they have powers.

My fantasy would be to trap John Edward, and expose him for the lying conman he is.

[SleepyJack]

I`ve spoken with several spirits over the years.....a reccuring one is a Jack Daniels from Tennessee.....unfortunately it seems that the longer I spend in his realm the less sense he makes....strange headaches and feelings of nausea usually follow the morning after. Is this any help??

[thedoc]

wish you weren't so sure about it Getlo.In every profession you may meet frauds but that doesn't proof the real ones don't exist.Some or even many people can use their capacity and most of those people keep it to themselves.As for them being used in criminal works,well, that happens in spite of hard headed authorities who never believe such things but you can bet CIA and KGB and alikes in some other countries been working on/with those gifted people for years.As a final note I've experienced it myself only 3 times ,and it was a good and bad feeling at the same time to see things exactly the right way before they happen plus seeing with my own eyes my prescious kitty in our house after she died.No I'm not making money of this and never will,but I know human being has such a limitless capacity once they get the awareness.Elvis was one of them,and in my opinion,it's a huge mistake to make a fun of his experiences using the words such as,dillusion or drug effect.Some remarks needed to be sure of them before we throw them out of our mouths,and there are times and things we may never be sure of.

good said(y)(y)

[gordon]

back in 1977 there was an LP (remember them) released here in the UK of a medium getting in contact with Elvis and unfortunately because I collected everything on elvis at that time I confess I bought it ( I will have to find it out as I cant remember who did it) it was the biggest load of bulls*@t I have ever wasted my money on and believe me I have wasted a lot of money of crap that was released to do with elvis over the years,but I will find it out and let you know what it was called......

[MissyM]

Scientist have even tested them. Some of them are validating the research saying that even if the ones they tested guessed, they would have about a 5 percent accuracy rate. All the ones they tested had a higher percentate correct. Getlo you really should do some research on it before you nix it absolutely. I think Elvis did sense things/a presence.

That is absolutely untrue. I have done my research, and for many years now. Scientists have been testing "psychics" for ages, and each and every one of them fails when put to a real test.

I agree with you.

There are quite a lot of people, who have had their own experiences, with close family members and other occurances. Their accuracy can be zero on some things, and surprising high , on others. :jawdrop: :)

[maria1073]

mediums dont tell the futer they are ther to let you know that ther is life after death and that you love ones dont die but live on

[*LittleSister1981*]

Oh,please!! I am only 26 years old,ok? My mother is still alive Thank God!I went to that church with my mother and her friend,who told her about it,that woman has never been to that church before either.She just told my mum about one incident with a Medium from years ago and how spot-on that Medium was about her father.
First the Medium started talking about her mother,who died 6 months ago and she was soooo right with everything,including names and stuff! The same with me,she told me the name of my dad and everything,important anniversary months and stuff!I started crying in the end,because I just COLULD NOT believe,what I was hearing!She mentioned my grandma as well as my dad and that I couldn't say goodbye to both of them,which is right.My dad died ion his sleep,on Fri night and I was going to see him on that weekend and my grandma died back in Poland in 2001 and I was in the U.K already.
You shuold really do some research Getlo,you know? And have some faith,ok?You WILL eventually find out about the spirit world, when you are gone and maybe then you WILL believe that! Colin Fry is just amazing,you should check him out on Living TV.
I'm sure that Elvis believed in it,as he was sooo religious and so should his fans....

[Getlo]

Im sure you've seen this getlo,this should prove you're point

That last part in bold is patently ridiculous! :angry: Why on earth should I, or anyone, be religious just because Elvis was !??! That's just a silly thing to say, or even suggest. You are, by implication, saying that athiests can't be Elvis fans because we don't subscribe to his beliefs.

Are you religious? And if so, is it because Elvis was too? ;)

If you choose to believe in an afterlife and all that jazz, you go right ahead. I happen to believe once once you're dead, you're dead ... and you'll go back into the same nothingness from which you came.

Religion, politics, the guns ... just three of the things about Elvis to which I would disagree had I met him in person. Just because Elvis believed something is no reason for any of us to do so as well. :mad:(n)

And as for that guy at the church who was so spot on? I'd love to read a transcript of what he actually said to you. Google "cold reading".

[*LittleSister1981*]

^^^^ Whatever (n)It was NOT a guy,it was a woman.ok? And I'd like to keep the details private,if I can....I am not believing in that,just because Elvis was religious and stuff,I just believe in it,because I have a reason to...You SHALL find out one day as well.....That's all what I have to say....

[Getlo]

I am not believing in that,just because Elvis was religious and stuff

[Stryx]

I suggest that since Psychic's are so wonderfully gifted and truthful individuals that im sure they can help in tracking down Bin-Laden.

It's also a shame that none of them managed to warn anyone about 9/11.

Then again - could they be fraudsters? Of course they are.

They prey on the vulnerable.

[thedoc]

These things has nothing to do with being religious,actually, religions don't like this type of subjects and in history we know many people were killed because of their abilities by church.And Elvis wasn't a fanatic religious,he had his own views and beliefs no matter what people think of him and sure was an open minded person.But of course I must admit that,his fans don't have to be open minded just because he was so.lol
btw,gov. doesn't need anyone to know where Ladin is,he is not the one they want.And who cared the ones who warned for Titanic.Since the majority are "wise people" in this planet,no one cares for some few lunatic.

Oh yes I forgot that.

The Bush administration attemted to link Saddam to 9/11. :lmfao:

BTW - maybe the psychics could have told George there were no weapons of mass destruction!

If the Americans are not looking for Bin Laden then who do they want?

:lmfao:

[MissyM]

I've heard this arguement against psychics forever. There are just things that they are not supposed to know are not given them. And there are some who saw the 9-11 tragedy prior and no one would listen to them. Why would they? No one important would have believed them anyway. So they should know exactly where Bin Laden is?? Have you seen the terrain where he resides? And do you honestly think even if one had a gereral idea that they'd (the military) would send out troops based on that?? Hardly. I believe that Elvis had spirits close to him, because he was spiritually open. The day of 9-11 my grandson begged his mom not to go to work. He said there is going to be a bad plane crash and he doesn't know where but a it's going to be a very bad thing. So his premonition was immature and vague, but he got the general idea. I like that Elvis was a searcher of the higher meanings of life and spirituality.

[Getlo]

Missy - if they have these powers, then why should the terrain where Bin Laaden resides be an obstacle?

Perhaps if he was in New York they could give an exact address?

No disrespect as you are entitled to your beliefs.....but I don't believe a word from them.

They are crooks and have been proven to be so.

[MissyM]

I get that people think they are all frauds, what I don't get is the hostility.

[Getlo]

Missy - if they have these powers, then why should the terrain where Bin Laden resides be an obstacle?

Bin Laden is 6'5" and in need of regular kidney dialysis ... perhaps his illness prevents the psychic vibes from getting through? ;)

[MissyM]

I got Sylvia's book for Christmas last year. I think she just takes it too far. Glad you are enjoying this thread. Sorry, didn't think there would be such a debate. I guess it is cause I run into more people who are accepting of such things now. I know there are people who are not on the up and up. But many bring so much comfort to those left behind. I'd like to think Elvis was brought comfort by feeling spirits around him. I get the idea he did. So that is why I wondered if anyone (medium) who people found credible ever said they contacted them. Not just feeling his presence, but actually had a message.

[Getlo]

Getlo, Stryx and others I'm sorry that you don't - but please don't put us down for believing.

Er, can you please point me to the exact thread where I put anyone down for believing this sort of thing?

No, you can't ... because I didn't.

What I've ben putting down is John Edward and his ilk, because they are all frauds and conartists.
