I'm a psychic who finds missing children

That's amazing Robert.

Can someone please provide an English translation of those articles? My French is not up to much.

Without that, I am not sure how we can continue to explore Robert's claims. Do you have any ideas how else we could explore them Robert?

Best wishes

Another thing if you've ever felt the helping hand of a dead relative or pet don't dismiss it as denial because denial is the easiest path to ignorance, and plus like if you've felt it you know at least in that relationship you know it was true
"Oooummmkayyyy" this quote is from a South Park character,
the "Oooummmkayyyy" part only Oooummmkayyyy.

Thanks Robert. Sound advice I'm sure.

One question: people are also capable of feeling helping hands from dead relatives or pets even when this is not actually occurring. These feelings tend to increase in times of grief or trauma. And of course people with psychoses often feel helping hands from others (and get quite upset when told the dead person they claim is helping them is in fact alive!).

How does one know whether the helping hand one feels is real versus imaginary, need-fulfillment or psychosis?

Kind regards

->If it's not happening with some people then it is not however their misconception does not dismiss those that are actually having a connection with those who have passed on.. Some people can connect and some people can not.
"These feelings tend to increase in times of grief or trauma"
-> uhh yah... makes sense.
"And of course people with psychosis often feel helping hands from others"
-> and a lot of other things that aren't true due to their severe mental derangement...
"(and get quite upset when told the dead person they claim is helping them is in fact alive!).
-> What'd you expect, psychosis is a severe mental derangement
Your use of psychosis as a comparison in this subject matter is completely irrelevant.

Hi Robert. I hope you had a good New Year and that 2006 brings you all you would hope for.

OK, let me put it another way. How can we as skeptics tell which people are really getting a helping hand from dead people and animals versus those who might be lying?

I used the word "lying" since you don't like the word "psychotic" - not that I believe many people lie, but let's say there were a few dishonest people out there pretending to communicate with the dead - how could we tell who was lying and who was not?

Kind regards

I used the word 'lying' since you don't like the word 'psychotic'
=> I never stated that I don't like the word "psychotic" it's just that your use of the terms "psychotic" and "lying" have no bearing.in researching the field. The terms "psychotic" and "lying" are uneducated scapegoats used for something your research can not explain.
The failure of research to explain something does not make it untrue..

" - not that I believe many people lie,"
=> You'd be suprised.

"but let's say there were a few dishonest people out there pretending to communicate with the dead"
=> Communication with the dearly departed is a reality & some people pretend.

- how could we tell who was lying and who was not?
=> By not denying facts.


On that note explain the facts as presented in the articles:
Journal de Montreal 31/5/98
<http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id8.html>

Journal de Montreal 1/6/98
<http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id9.html>

Rember that:

The parents called me and what I stated to them was printed in the paper by investigative journalists who quoted directly from the parents what I stated to them. The investigative journalists then printed what I had stated to the parents in the newspaper

the day before the body was found.

That's circular. It is the facts we are trying to establish. First we want to eliminate the possibility that people who claim to have had advice from dead folk or animals are liars or hallucinating. How do we first eliminate those people from the study so that we can research the serious claimants?

Rember that:

The parents called me and what I stated to them was printed in the paper by investigative journalists who quoted directly from the parents what I stated to them. The investigative journalists then printed what I had stated to the parents in the newspaper

That's quite a claim Robert. Do you have any way of verifying it?

Kind regards

Research involves what is and what is not true through verification.

Verification is easely had as the event was printed in the newspaper articles

Journal de Montréal 31/5/98
http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id8.html

&

Journal de Montréal 1/6/98
http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id9.html

as it unfolded.

The facts are there in black and white, certified and delivered with the dates stamped on both articles. Their is no question as to the validity of the event. The investigative reporter printed what I had told the mother on the phone the day earlier, in that her son had accidentaly drowned and in which body of water his corpse could be found. The next day his body was found floating in the body of water I had stated and that was also printed the fpllowing day. No matter what anyones point of view may be the facts still remain the same.
