Somebody should sit on the swing and see what happens.

No, scared!!

I was watching Lifetime last night and this medium Lisa Williams. The stuff she knew about strangers on the street - and how their loved ones died... I don’t see how that could be rigged. Well, it could be of course, but I don’t think it was. She was actually talking to the deceased!

Years ago I worked for awhile at the International Hotel in Palm Springs and there was a psychic there doing a show. Can’t recall the guy’s name. He said things about me that there’s no way he could’ve known. Really blew me away.

That’s amazing. I definitely believe in the 6th sense and how some people have it more than others, but what some of these people (like on Lifetime) can do, wow.

Probably has a mechanism in it like one of those baby swings. I wonder if anyone has checked for that.

Okay. After you do it, let us know how it works out for you.

If I had the $$ to get there, I’d do it. It would be an interesting experiment.
