I keep getting this terrible feeling of deja woo.
Perhaps he'll go for "she was found on the 10th July, but the forces of evil hushed it up".Originally Posted by John Jackson
Well, July 11th and the prediction from Graham Dare, the UK's #1 medium, didn't come true - again!
I wonder what he'll change it to next?

I keep getting this terrible feeling of deja woo.
Graham Dare, the UK's #1 medium, clearly doesn't like being wrong. So he's changed his prediction again!!
At least he's improving as a prognosticator a little.Due to the Dutch newspaper being widely believed on the evening of 13/Jun Graham told a reporter that evening that Madeleine McCann was on a boat Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e and would be found on a Saturday in the Shohb factory in Sinaa, Yemen.
To make successful predictions a 'psychic' should not give specific dates and places as they're going to end up being wrong. The trick is to make predictions, and lots of them, do not make them specific (i.e. leave them wide open to interpretation), and leave it to others to others to supply the meaning to them.
Graham Dare, the UK's #1 medium, has changed from giving a specific date to saying "a Saturday" - now he has a 1 in 7 chance of getting the day right. Not really how a psychic should do it but he's learning and heading in the right direction.
It's much better to mention things like: a boat, a car, some letters and numbers, water, a man with a beard, a woman with long hair, etc., and simply say they all 'link in somehow' then others who believe in psychic powers will take what you say and provide their meaning to it all.
That's all there is to it.

The UK's #1 medium has changed his site again!
No change to the actual prediction but he's confirmed that he replied to only one reporter.Graham was asked by a member of the public via the newsshopper.co.uk to find Madeleine McCann, but replied that he would only help the family or a reporter, the NS sent a reporter on the evening of 13/Jun (when it was widely believed that the Dutch newspaper report was correct) but Graham went against the flow and told the reporter that she was on a boat Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e and would be found on a Saturday in the Shohb factory in Sinaa, Yemen.
He seems to be subtly implying that because the report in the Dutch newspaper turned out to be wrong that it somehow adds weight to his claim.
Sorry Graham it doesn't. It just means that they were as wrong as you were.
At least until you kept changing your prediction every time it failed.
.
Graham Dare, the UK's #1 medium, has changed his website yet again!!!
He's taken the claims he made off the front page but has moved them elsewhere.
Does this numbskull not realise that all of the changes he's made will be logged on the internet web archive and will all show up in a few months' time?
We now have this:
Posted 14th June 2007?posted 14/Jun/07
Graham Dare was asked by a reader to find Madeleine McCann, but would only work via a investigating reporter, who visited for 2 hours on the evening of 13/Jun (when it was widely believed that the Dutch newspaper report was correct but Graham went against the flow) and he stated that she was on a boat Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e and would be found on a Saturday in the Shohb factory in Sinaa, Yemen.
Well, I've just downloaded the response headers and they say:Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:41:32 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 5667
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-Control: private
200 OK
The page has been set up so that the response headers always refresh themselves - i.e. so we can't find out the last time it was uploaded. Graham is doing this the opposite way to how Brian Ladd did his trick. He's renewing the page but forgetting about the images.
The image of Madeleine and the photo of Yemen were uploaded to the server on the 24th July 2007 15:21:32 GMT.
I strongly suspect that that is when the page was created.
UK's #1 medium or a faker? Make your own mind up.....

>>"UK's #1 medium or a faker? Make your own mind up....."
Well, Graham Dare could also be operating under some serious delusions.
Not that that, or being a deliberate fake, would disqualify him from claiming to be the UK's #1 medium, given what the rest are like.
Hi there,
I've been reading things about Graham Dare on this site as I have been planning on going to see him for a clairvoyancy reading (after reading on his website that he is supposed to be a highly gifted clairvoyant). Anyway, went to see him and was really disappointed. I'm not going to spend the next 10 mins slagging him off but I give him 0 out of 10. He was very very vague and I really did think he was making it up and told him this and stopped the session and walked out. For anyone out there, thinking of going to see him for a clairvoyancy reading, I would save your money...really I would. As for his healing...I've no idea if he's good or not but for clairvoyancy, like I said, I really think he was making it up. Anyway, that's all I've got to say, bye for now.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Comments like this illustrate why skepticism is so important. These fraudulent people have no place in modern society. I'll give you a clue about his healing - it is likely to be worse than his psychic readings to be honest. At least with cold reading you have a chance of getting something right.
Another interesting site to visit is BadPsychics.co.uk, although psychics are part of the forums here, BadPsychics tend to focus purely on their scams.
I would like to add my recommendation re the "BadPsychics" site. But this place is excellent. Also.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear

"Graham was asked by a reporter 13/Jun/07 about Madeleine McCann and said will be found 16/Jun/07 between Shohb, Sinaa, Yemen and Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e."
Well, it looks like Graham was wrong.
No surprise there of course. What is odd though, is that the coordinates he gives are in the middle of the sea in the Gulf of Aden!
He was just having a bad prediction day thats all!Either that or she's in a submarine and he's not telling us something that we should know lol
I have not failed... I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work!
Claims of being 'highly gifted' or the 'UK's #1' etc. are claims they make themselves. They certainly aren't substantiated by anyone else.
We've seen an example of his cheating on here so it's highly doubtful whether he really believes he's a psychic. It's hard to say though as it's quite clear that some of these self-proclaimed psychics suffer from delusions of grandeur.
Anyway, thanks for sharing that experience with us. It's not often that people are prepared to come forward and say they've spent money on a psychic only to have been given an abysmal reading.

Well, Britain's #1 medium has changed his site again. Still claiming it was posted on 14th June mind you!
By way of proof he offers a picture of the reporter's notes:Graham Dare was asked by a reader to find Madeleine McCann, but would only work via a investigative reporter (his notes above), who visited (from the newsshopper.co.uk) for 2 hours on the evening of 13/Jun (when it was widely believed that the Dutch newspaper report was correct but Graham went against the flow) and Graham stated that, having been taken by someone who knows Gerry after leaving the unlocked apartment, and falling, in a 4x4 car boot registration FH (not McCanns car), she was then on a boat Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e and could now be found in the Shohb factory in Sinaa, Yemen.
Obviously they're so clear that they can't be refuted.
There's also no mention of who this reporter is or which publication he works for.
Then again, I don't think it really matters - we all know where Graham Dare is coming from.

well would you look at that a reporter who doesnt write in shorthand
It's only gone and changed again!
Graham Dare was asked by a reader to find Madeleine McCann, but would only work via a investigative reporter (Mark Chandler's notes above for extra detail ie maiden name of abductor), who visited (from the newsshopper.co.uk) for 2 hours on the evening of 13/Jun (when it was widely believed that the Dutch newspaper report was correct but Graham went against the flow) and Graham stated: 24/Apr/07 3pm the train of events started; then several days later she was taken from her parents by 'Jen' (after Madeleine had left the unlocked apartment carrying a toy duck wearing a red/orange coat, and falling) in a 4x4 car boot registration FH [not McCanns' car] for 3 hours and 2 minutes, averaging 40mph, ie 120 miles, to a work place for 2-3 days, then she was then on a boat via Latitude 12.3n Longitude 49.9e and will now be found in the Shohb factory in Sinaa, Yemen.
