TV psychic’s ‘Maddie dead’ claim - Derek Acorah

Khyrak the psychic pig has been brought in as part of a pyschic animal team to predict Euro 2012 results in the Ukraine.

SNIPPED:
Mr Warne (82), a respected Spiritualist for 57 years, began his own psychic investigation after being annoyed about a claim by television psychic Derek Acorah.

Acorah said that a messenger from the spirit world told him: “She’s not on this earth any more”, but he has since apologised to Maddie’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, saying he was misquoted.

Mr Warne, of Morse Street, Burnley, said: “I always thought the police would find the little girl. I didn’t want to bother looking into what has happened to her it because it is a lot of strain, but when Derek Acorah said she was dead I had to do.
“It doesn’t make sense to go to people and say she is dead. It’s diabolical. If it was the case that she had died he should have known what happened, who did it and where she is now. It is a terrible thing to say that someone’s missing child is dead.”

Burnley psychic in hunt for missing Madeleine McCann

A BURNLEY psychic medium who helped the FBI catch a serial killer has spoken out about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Grandfather John Warne is convinced that the schoolgirl was snatched on behalf of an American, and that she is now living in Minnesota and attending college.

Mr Warne (82), a respected Spiritualist for 57 years, began his own pyschic investigation after being annoyed about a claim by television psychic Derek Acorah.

“I always thought the police would find the little girl. I didn’t want to bother looking into what has happened to her it because it is a lot of strain, but when Derek Acorah said she was dead I had to do.”

“It doesn’t make sense to go to people and say she is dead. It’s diabolical. If it was the case that she had died he should have known what happened, who did it and where she is now. It is a terrible thing to say that someone’s missing child is dead.”

“The bloke who took her was in his early 30s with brown hair, he was 5ft. 8in. and in a light blue outfit. He checked her out the day before it happened.”

“Once he grabbed her, he put her in a car round the corner and drove to a waiting boat. By the time the alarm was raised they were gone.”

“The guy was an American, but he didn’t take her for himself. He was working for someone.”

“I know she is at college in Minnesota. It is a reddish brown building with several storeys.I have never been there, but I can see it.”

Mr Warne hopes that police and investigators looking into Maddie’s disappearance will follow up his lead.

He has worked with police forces over the years, helping to solve murders, and with the FBI in Atlanta, Georgia, in the hunt for a serial killer. An arrest was made within 10 days of Mr Warne’s advice to look for a black professional photographer.

This bit I found odd:

IF this man is such a RESPECTED medium, he would NEVER have said the bits in bold. Any decent psychic/medium/sensitive will tell you it doesn't happen that way!
You don't get handed the 'psychic equivalent' of a DvD!!! You may get 'snatches' but more usually just a definite sense somebody has 'passed'. His comments are beyond ridiculous, and to a psychic-sceptic I'm sure they must seem doubly so!

In recent years we have had the toe-curling comment from a then American president that God told him to invade Iraq. Now that is really scary! Other people would be on medication if they thought they heard voices telling them to do terrible things.

I put psychics, astrology and organised religion in the same category - no problem as long as they're not taken too seriously.
