REAL-LIFE Ghostbusters have succeeded in banishing unwanted ghosts from a tormented Scots mum’s home.

After two failed attempts by a Church of Scotland minister to rid single mum Vicky Dann’s Dalkeith home of spooks, the Midlothian Paranormal Investigations (MPI) stepped in to finish the job.

Ms Dann, (40), today spoke of her relief after members of the MPI managed to identify the mystery ghost and send him packing.

That's pretty cool.  The fact the family wasn't charged adds some credibility to the group.

   I'm happy to do readings for parties  of up to five people and will travel by car to your location within the  periphery of Edinburgh. It's human nature to want to have a good time  when you have your friends gathered for a reading. However, I would only  ask that the nature of the work I do is respected at all times.

   If anyone would like more  information or a consultation, please call the office between the hours  of 7-8.30pm. I do have an extensive waiting list for readings, however I  will endeavour to get back to you the same day with a suitable  appointment.

I have a question, why is it wrong to pay for a reading or charge for one? Why does it signal people that the person is a fake? I'm really struggling with this concept. Now I do realize that not all are genuine and there are lots of fakes out there but what about the real ones, why would it be wrong?

Thanks,
Gracie.

Sounds like a great way for a grade schooler and college freshman to play hookey, all the while staying home in a "haunted house", classic poltergeist.

Gracie,

Out of respect for you as a person, I have a hard time answering this one to you.

I guess if someone is getting a general reading, and not specifics it is not as bad as someone being specific and telling someone their missing child is dead, and buried under a rock on live television......When weeks later the child is found alive and well........( Sylvia Brown )

I will leave it at that

So if people want to come to you for a reading,you're not allowed to charge for your time and talent ?
So ummmm,does everyone here do what they do for a living,for free ?
Duh.

[Simbi Laveau]

And Sylvia Brown is not ANYONE to give advice.
She absolutely has a gift,and she's milked it into an endless stream of bull**** books ,just to make money .
Call and ask HER how much she charges for just a phone reading,as its about 500USD.
And now she pushes her son on everyone,claiming he too is gifted,but hes only about 300USD .In person,they charge a whole lot more.

Oops !
I was wrong,Slyvia now charges 850USD ,and her son is 500USD.
I believe it's for a half hour at most,but I could be wrong.

I suppose if people get comfort from a reading then to that person its priceless....i dont believe in it all myself mind..

[Calibeliever]

My main takeaway from this story is that the family can live in their home in peace again. If a mother and her two daughters can live without fear in their own home then I'm a big fan of whatever accomplished that whether I believe in it or not

Thank you so much Rob, I appreciate it. I do see what your saying and there should be some sort of money back thingy but what she did was wrong. I personally think there should always be a third party involved with things like lost children. A psychic tells their impressions and the third party checks it out before going to the parents. No one, in any profession is 100%, it's unreasonable to think otherwise. And let's face it, readings are intuitive guesses, we don't know for sure and the person getting the reading is ultimately responsible for their life. Some readers are better than others but everyone has an off day, even the car salesman down the street can't promise the car won't break down... but he still gets his commission. I'm not sure I see much of a difference these days.

Your honesty and gentle nature is so appreciated.

Your Friend,
Gracie.
