Yes, she could have been reading micro expressions. It was such a crazy experience. But I’m still left with the pain and I’m going to deal with that

I should say “psychics” because I do not believe in them to be honest.

Stuff like this is why I tell strangers to arse off when they try to get conversations going with me. Anything beyond asking for directions gets told to go away.

Yes! See this is why I dislike a lot of “psychics.” They hurt good and nice and genuine people by doing their “magic tricks” and hurting them by bringing up past hurts. I’m sorry this happened @LilyoftheValley

Thanks @anon90992146 . I think this lady truly believes she was helping someone. I don’t think it was malicious. Regardless, my issue is more about my friend and less about the lady.

Yeah. I never looked into that Phd’s research in any depth. I really couldn’t prove at the moment whether he believed the children he was studying truly had paranormal abilities, or many were being led to believe that they did. The latter would seem like a tragic thing that a PhD might spend his life on.

@Clint , it would be interesting to read his research to see what he was really doing.
Maybe I can dig up his name from my college transcript. I think it was around 1997 to 1998…

It was Spring of 1998; but, my transcript doesn’t list his name; and I don’t remember his name.
If I try to figure out what his name was, I might find his obituary. My political science professor from around that year is dead.

Anyway, yes, some countries are free to debate its validity; but in the US, parapsychology is a thing, and on this forum, there is a stated difference between religion and spirituality. Hazy line, though, I guess

Okay,
I have a very different but oddly similar experience.
My takeaway was,
Odd and mysterious things happen.
Period.
You can’t try to break them down or obsess.
Just let it go.
I’m sorry about your best friend.
If I were you I’d journal about my friend and get all the hurt on paper.
It makes you feel better for sure.

Thanks @Charles_Foster . I plan to write her a letter. But I think journaling all my pain is a good idea too. Thanks!

I’m so sorry to hear! This situation sounds very ominous and eerie. I bet it opened up some old wounds just hearing about it! How are you holding up so far after this? It’s best if this lays to rest and chalk it up to coincidence and dont over think it.

Yes, it did. I’m ok. I’m still pretty much in shock though. I was blindsided. But people here gave me good suggestions and I’m going to follow that advice. I’m sure it’ll help.

Ok. So I’ve decided to do a ceremony for my friend, much like the one I do when I’m trying to forgive someone and let go of the pain but yet different. I’m hoping it brings peace.

Maybe your friend just wanted to tell you something. She’s at peace now and not suffering anymore. Maybe the lady had like, “gut” feeling? The feeling that she needed to tell you about this? In any way, massive hugs toward your way.

You could also light a candle for her 
I do that to remember my family members who have passed away.

That’s part of what I plan to do. Thanks @whirling-leaves
