As should all that claim mystical powers to make a living. Unless they can prove otherwise in a scientific setting, that is.

"The theatre stressed it would "never be a part of any scam", or attempt to "mislead" its audience"

But you have a woman claiming to speak to dead people. OH FFS.

This should be taken as an opportunity to put an end to these fraudsters. If there are witnesses willing to testify she was being fed lines she should be arrested and charged with fraud. How in 2011 people are still allowed to cash in on people's gullibility and vulnerability I'll never understand :nono:

Yes. It's possibly due to the fact that 'gullible' has been removed from the dictionary and it's not taught in schools anymore.

I might start a petition to have it reinstated.

Unfortunately this is unlikely to make any difference either to the 'profession' or to her. Another charlatan, Derek Acorah, suffered an equally public humiliation when he was set up by people working on a programme with him. He was fed information about a location he was 'investigating', and then later reproduced it after going into a 'trance' and, according to him, being given the information by his spirit guide. This did not stop him from getting his own show afterwards, and as far as I know he's still working. These people enjoy a cult following, and as far as their fans are concerned they can do no wrong. When they are grieving and in pain, many people will cling onto whatever they can find to keep them close to their lost loved ones. These fraudsters feed off them.

It's funny that you thought I didn't know the joke :smug:

Fallible · **#14** by **Fallible** » Sep 13, 2011 9:24 pm

Is there an 'ooo chinny reckon' smilie?

Actually both Ciaran O Keefe (the parapsychologist who set Derek Acorah up) and Derek himself are on my facebook. The whole Kreed Kafer affair was actually pretty complex, and had quite a bit of tv politics in it too.

I knew all concerned as I was a researcher on both Most Haunted and earlier most Haunted Live, and appear on one episode, and in one MH Extra show. Maybe you never knew that?

I should know about it, after all the times you've mentioned it. However lots of people had probably never heard of that incident, which is why I mentioned it, not for your education. My point is it didn't harm the big Scouse pansy much and I'd be very surprised if this hurts Sally Morgan. She has a fanbase which would glady lick her bunghole and call it a chocolate lollypop if she commanded them to do so.

Oh I dunno - Derek Lost his Most Haunted gig, and I don't think he is as big a star any more. But know you are damned right - read this it's bloody hilarious! https://www.facebook.com/sallymorgantv

I think Sally's fans are having trouble digesting the recent revelations :crazy:

... most of them refusing to believe any suggestion that Sally would do such a thing!! :waah:

Unlike the skeptics, who are also posting on the 'fan page' and saying it like it is. :naughty2:

http://www.facebook.com/sallymorgantv?ref=ts ..... feel free to join in the discussions that have popped up since Mondays Blunder by Team Sally in Dublin.

here's an alternative Sally page.. :grin:

Are there any willing and able skeptics groups who could set something up to catch her out with recording equipment to scan what's really going on with her earpiece?? Is this possible to do, without raising suspicion.. (do they check bags etc, for recording equipment?). Suppose not, if you're allowed mobile phones it? In her latest official statement, she strongly denies the earpiece is picking anything up at all, she maintains it is a microphone headset and nothing more. And the two lighting technicians are the ones to blame for the blunder! (Of course, She doesn't explain how they knew what she was going to say before she said it and how many people in the audience heard this themselves). P.s. If you dare to comment on her facebook page http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/sallymorgantv and suggest that she is a liar... her fans are ready and waiting to insult and abuse you and dismiss you as nothing but a nasty little troll. Lol. Even though they themselves are part of assisting her in the con, because they fill in info cards before the performances and bring in photos etc of the loved ones they are so desperate to make contact with!
