David Chenery-Wickens, a fake Christian spiritualist
After her husband’s death, Rosemary approached a spiritualist to communicate with him so that he would let her know how much money he had and in which bank and where his insurance policy was.
The human mind is so rational and irrational at the same time that it misses the simple logic why the spirits of the dead who wish to talk to their dear and near need some intermediaries like the psychics, mediums and spiritualists in stead of contacting directly the living ones whom they loved and lived with for so many years!
Though there are numerous cases reported in the media about fake and fraudulent spiritualists and soothsayers and the like of them, we keep reading and hearing about people, even educated people, approaching spiritualists, psychics and soothsayers and lose heavy amounts of money.
