    I think you are severely underestimating the intentions of people when they visit places like this. There is 100% a religious or spiritual element that causes these people to go and seek answers at places like this.

    And I have seen multiple times where people get hooked on these types of practices or make really bad life decisions because of the bull crap they hear from them. I know one lady who even divorced her husband after cheating on him because of the advice of some of these people. Another landlord I knew up in the Pacific Northwest would consistently visit one of these false people. She would get told that she was someone extra special in a previous life or that a friend of of hers was secretly being punished because he was a Nazi who executed her or something stupid.

    Like I really want you to understand how demonic and outright cringy these things are. The people who go to them are not simply looking for a Disney-haunted mansion experience

      Well, those religious nutjobs deserve to be exploited. If you are, as an adult with a somehow sane mind, actually believing in such absurd fairytales, then you’re just asking to be plucked from the tree of profit.

      So it’s either a fun-ride with the psychics, or a psychic making a living from someone that’s too brick-faced to notice. Fine by me.

        You sound like a wonderful person. I appreciate how there is no hiding your own religious hangups and inner tension and the way you superimpose this struggle onto others.

          You’re free, welcome and encouraged to have your own opinion, of course. And I value these greatly.
