A psychic warning

WARNING- WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW-Psychics, Mediums Scams & Lies

This post may not gain me any friends among my field, but I feel it's necessary to warn & inform the public. I have received quite a few questions recently from fans that concern me. The questions surround things like psychic training courses, psychic festivals & fairs, readings, etc. I want to warn anyone & everyone to please be careful. I mean no disrespect here to anyone specifically, but I do NOT believe many of these people have any ability at all & many of those who do seem to exaggerate or embellish. I am not saying that every single other person claiming to be psychic or have abilities is "fake" but I have found there are only a handful of genuine mediums & psychics in this world. Most of us do not participate in or attend any type of psychic fairs, festivals, gatherings, etc. We also do not claim to remove curses or to have the ability to change circumstances in your life for additional fees. I do not mean to sound negative but if I don't say something & give my opinion, I'd be as guilty of their fraud as they are. I also do NOT believe these abilities can be learned by just anyone, but instead can only be taught to those who have some basic gift to begin with...some intuitive ability that they need help developing....trust me, I've tried to teach my mom & husband, it can't be taught if the basic gift from God isn't there & paying fees will not provide you with any intuitive ability if none is present to begin with. I DO believe everyone can feel or sense when their departed loved ones are with them because of the love & bond between souls but that doesn't make a person psychic. Please try to think with an open clear mind to anything a medium tells you...are they giving you specific details that can't be guessed or researched? I hate saying that, dealing at times with critics myself, but I know I have told many people things that I just couldn't guess, research or know unless it was coming from the afterlife, not all are intentionally scamming with malicious intent, some are very nice people who believe or have been told by another so called psychic that they too have abilities that they really don't have, but sadly many others are lying on purpose...either way, please be careful with anyone who claims to have psychic, medium, intuitive, healing or other related abilities. Here are some warning signs that you may be dealing with a fake:

-anyone asking you to bring certain items or photos

-anyone asking for ANY info in advance (names of deceased, birth dates etc)

-anyone claiming they can teach someone to be a psychic or teach channeling

-anyone charging additional fees for things like removing negative curses or offering to light candles or say certain prayers for you or claiming they can make certain things happen in your life etc

-anyone participating in events where multiple psychics gather: festivals, fairs, etc

-anyone using props: cards, crystal ball, your palm, etc

-anyone with a sign that reads "psychic readings today" or "Psychic -----(fill in a name)"

-Street Corner or strip mall psychics

-Anyone referring to a group reading as a "party"

There are some of us who are honest & sincere, we do not embellish & we do not talk crazy language/odd phrases or use props. We speak to you just like any normal person you have a conversation with. Research a psychic or medium, read reviews, ask others, follow them for a while on social media but remember, there are some good hearted honest people that you can trust, but sadly there are many more con artists in this field :(

Theresa Caputo Long Island Medium Contact, Appointment, Waitlist, Fees Updated

I have written several blogs on Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium. As her popularity grows, so do the number of fans searching for answers. I have answered the big questions below- How much is a reading with Theresa Caputo, How long is the waitlist for an appointment with Theresa Caputo, Does Theresa Caputo still do readings? How to get an appointment with Theresa Caputo? How do I see Theresa Caputo at one of her shows? etc... I STRONGLY encourage anyone wanting or needing a reading to do their research and find another medium you trust. You can do this even while remaining on a 3+ year waitlist for Theresa Caputo. While finding a good medium can be difficult, There are a few of us out there who are true mediums and can bring the same peace & answers from a reading that you will find with Theresa Caputo, with a much less wait time & some for lower fees. With that being said, I love Theresa Caputo and love watching the Long Island Medium. I understand why after watching just one episode, many people feel an intense need to do a reading with her but that's much easier said than done.

How much is a reading or session with Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium, What are Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium's fees?
It seems that other than those readings taped during her tv show, Theresa primarily does large venues with thousands of people, tickets for those range from $75-$100+ per person, while I'm sure it is a wonderful show, it is more of a show, and only a select few get any type of reading at all. If you want a private reading (not the hope of one at a large show), the fees are reportedly anywhere from $150-$500...I'm sure it varies based on type of reading (group or private). Theresa did email me in December 2012, I have searched and can't find this email now, but I think she said her current fees for a private reading were $250 for 30 minutes or $500/hour, this is not what's reported by many people in her local area, I found an entry on wikihow that suggest it's more like $400 for a 30 minute local reading to her & more if you live farther away from New York. Most mediums do charge by time, many of my fans know, I do not charge by time. For me, a reading lasts as long as needed for the one fee, but this is not abnormal and many mediums charge like Theresa (by the time of session).

How long is the current waitlist for Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium?
From the research I have done, there is a waitlist for a waitlist. In other words, once you contact Theresa Caputo, you wait a minimum of 3 years to get a response, at that time, you will be notified that you have now been added to the waitlist, which is another 3-5 year wait (minimum).

Does Theresa still do regular readings?
From everyone I have spoken with and all the research I have done, she only does regular readings for the show.

Are your readings or sessions the same as Theresa Caputo's?
Yes....but, keep in mind, this is a matter of opinion & no 2 mediums are exactly the same, but I do feel that mine are similar in nature and style. Just like no 2 mediums are the same, neither are readings and sessions. Each is different. I will say that the way the info comes through, the things we seem to see in the same way, & even to some degree the way the info is communicated is very similar to Theresa Caputo, The Long Island Medium (which is why I am fascinated by the fact that although I have never met her in person, the information comes through in a similar style and manner). I would be more than happy to schedule a reading with anyone who needs one and I do phone sessions and travel for sessions, however, I would not want someone to schedule with me expecting me to be Theresa Caputo- I am not, I'm sure while similar, there are many differences in the way we see & communicate things in regards to the afterlife.

How do I get on your waitlist or schedule an appointment?
I first recommend that you do your homework on various mediums and find the one that you feel most comfortable with...my website is www.shellyfrey.com. You can watch my webisodes & videos, read testimonials, even schedule your own phone reading all right on the website. If you want to get the fee info for an in person session (I would travel to you), please email shelly.frey@comcast.net OR call/text 717-816-1258 OR you can click contact Shelly on my website.

TV Medium Truths, Proofs & Appointments

We have all heard & seen  the wave of TV shows bringing psychic & medium abilities mainstream, but; is all the hype helping or hurting those of us who are true "non tv" mediums? Is what you see on these shows real & why is it so difficult to get an  appointment?
I recently did a session with a very nice lady who opened my eyes & really made me think about this. Many of us remember seeing Sylvia Browne on Montel or John Edward on Crossing Over, but now we see everything from TLC's Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo on DR OZ & even late night shows  & Anderson Cooper have all joined the bandwagon. There are all kinds of
paranormal shows like Ghost Hunters & even a pet psychic show.  These  TV psychics & mediums seem spot on with every reading, but is what we see on TV real?  Is this really how it is for other mediums? Is all that hype helping those of us working & making a living using this gift every day?  Sort of!
Yes, I love those TV mediums & enjoy watching any show they are on & I cry along with everyone else every time.  I appreciate them having the nerve to go on TV in front of millions to represent us all by showing the world what we do. I think in many ways they have opened the minds & hearts of many & that's a beautiful thing. DR Oz even had a brain specialist who did brain scans on Theresa Caputo while she did a session & then after the session, proving that patterns are different in mediums while doing a
session& not just different but should never appear in a person the way they do while doing a reading - ultimately proving something is going on in our minds when we connect to the afterlife, something DRs can't explain but say we could not possibly control ourselves. In many ways these shows have helped us; however, in many ways they haven't.
I get many calls from people barely getting through life & I feel for every one of them, but the worst are the ones who paid hundreds & in some cases thousands of dollars to people claiming to be mediums but were not. It saddens me that there are people pretending to have abilities & cashing in on other's pain, the tv hype has brought these so called mediums out in drones, they are nothing more than con artists & it's making it difficult for those of us who can do what we say; naturally because so many now claim to have this gift, people are afraid & don’t know who to trust; it’s heartbreaking. In addition these shows (even the reality TV type) aren't always as they seem, they are edited-very edited. I am not saying they are lying, the people are real, the abilities are real, but it often is portrayed that sessions are short& straight to the point, which is rarely the case. I often get exact info straight away when doing sessions but sometimes it takes much longer than you see on these shows & the info comes through a bit differently too. Most of the time, a session lasts quite a bit longer because I am trying to get the validation for my client (and not just general info but specific details), and while I am usually successful, it takes  much longer & is much more difficult than portrayed in these edited shows.
Finally, getting an appointment with a TV Medium, Psychic, Ghost Hunter, etc......this is the biggest problem, people are misguided & often believe that only the mediums on TV are good enough to do an appointment with, they think because others are not famous, we are not good. This is simply not true. There are many mediums, myself included, who are just as good, maybe even better than some on TV. We either chose not to pursue TV, don't want to expose our family, or maybe haven't had a producer interested in us, that certainly doesn't mean we aren't good mediums. It is very difficult to get on a waitlist for tv mediums (several years sometimes) & the fees are often close to $1000 (some are more), many are busy writing books, doing large venues ($100+ per ticket) for huge audiences & only a select few attendees actually get a reading.  I am not referring to a specific medium or show on tv, nor am I upset with these shows in general - if the right show idea came my way, I would certainly consider it too, I am just saying the recent burst in tv shows about psychics, mediums, ghosts, & the afterlife have both helped & hurt those of us trying to make a living  by helping others! Please don't think I am asking you not to watch these shows, most seem genuine & I will be watching them all! Just asking you to remember, things aren't always exactly the same in the real world, reality TV is still TV after all :)

Psychic Medium Experience- Tragic School Shooting In Conneticut

I was sitting on my screened porch yesterday just after my CNN app on my cell phone sent me a notification of the news about the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting in Newtown,
Connecticut. I was speaking with my husband about it, although much of those 20-30 minutes we both just sat there in silence and disbelief. I was trying to process what had just happened in my mind. I began asking myself the question that every other parent (and non parent) in this country had been asking- Why? What happened to cause this horrific event? How could so many children be gone in the blink of an eye? While my mind knows that these questions are never really answered, my heart just can't help but beg for some type of sense to be made of it. I am a psychic medium. I spend most of my life connecting with those who have passed on from
this world. I deal with loss and tragedy everyday for a living, but there are times, and this is one of them, that I cannot even begin to "deal with" a loss. In this case, the amount of pure pain & complete emptiness associated with losing the most innocent & precious of souls as a child is next to impossible to even put into words. I am a very spiritual person. I know firsthand that there is in fact a God who is in control of this world and while I do not go to church or practice any specific religion, I talk to this God often. I began asking him why, how this could have happened, imagining these families being told that they lost their loved ones in an instant and in such a horrific manner.
I then heard an answer-I'm not claiming in any way that God spoke to me yesterday, nor that I have any special connection with God that others do not....I do not know where this answer came from for sure- It may have been my spirit guides, my angels, my loved ones who have passed, or even my own mind and psychic ability trying to tell me something, but I heard one
word..."Scott". At the time, I had no idea how a simple name could have anything to do with the questions I had been asking in prayer. I told my husband..."I'm not sure where the connection is or even if the gunman has been identified" (thinking maybe I was picking up on the gunman's name) I later learned that the name of the gunman was not Scott, but I kept getting one
name loud and clear "Scott" over and over again, I'm hearing the name "Scott".
Late last night after crying most of the day, I began to feel physically ill, so I headed to bed and cried myself to sleep thinking of the parents who had gone through so much pain that day, as well as the family members of the adults that were lost, the responders, the media, and everyone else feeling such deep pain. This morning, as I was reading through my Facebook news feed on my cell phone, I read a post out loud to my husband (which I have included below in its entirety) and the phone literally fell out of my hand when he stopped me while I was reading it to him. He had shock in his voice when he shouted "SCOTT...THAT'S IT....SCOTT! "
it hit me like a slap in the face. This is the answer, this is the "Scott" that I was being told about
yesterday & was the answer to this horrific dilemma we face and these all too often acts of violence. Below is the post. I realize not everyone will believe me and I'm not trying to seem as though I have any answers or anything prophetic has occurred, but I do believe that someone was giving me an answer that was right in front of my nose all along:


COLUMBINE STUDENT’S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER !!

Guess our national leaders didn’t expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript:

“Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers."

"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain’s heart."

“In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don’t believe that they are responsible for my daughter’s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be
defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel’s murder I would be their strongest opponent."

"I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy—it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best."

Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air.
You’ve stripped away our heritage, You’ve outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question “Why?”
You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need!

“Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation’s history. Many of our major colleges began as theological
seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine’s tragedy occurs—politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts."

“As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA — I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter’s death will not be in vain!
The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!” - Darrell Scott

Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man’s speech.
God Bless!

I now understand the message that I was receiving loud & clear- the name Scott referred to this man, who had a message to tell us all. Our children should be permitted to pray to their God in school and anywhere else they wish- regardless of who their God is. Did these acts of violence occur before taking God out of our public lives & schools?..... maybe, but have these acts increased since taking God out? - The answer to me is obviously...yes.

I am saddened and sickened by the horrific events that unfolded Friday. My heart breaks everyday for those who are lost & heartbroken after losing their loved ones, but the amount of pure pain & complete emptiness associated with losing the most innocent& precious of souls as a child is next to impossible to even put into words....My thoughts, love, and prayers go out to the families of all the victims, witnesses, responders, reporters, & law enforcement affected by Friday's senseless tragic act of hatred and rage.

Psychic Medium Answers-Life After Death

Psychic Medium Answers-Life After Death

I get a ton of questions about life after death. I have selected a few of the most popular for this week's blog. I hope you learn a little something or find the answers interesting. Please continue emailing your questions & I'll keep answering them.

1- Can you communicate with Pets/Animals that have departed the physical world?

Absolutely....Souls of any being who lived on earth continue their life in Spirit after they leave the physical world.

2- Can you communicate with someone who never spoke English in life?

Yes, I can usually tell they didn't speak English because they "talk" much faster to me, but I hear them in English.

3- Why would someone come through for me in a session that I didn't really like or didn't know as opposed to someone I was very close to & miss dearly?

I honestly can't answer this question in the way I would like because I don't really understand it myself. I know that when someone passes, they leave all their negativity towards other behind. Often times, they come through during a session because they have a need to give a message or make peace with someone in the physical world. Also, if it's someone you barely knew, it could be that they are so excited/eager to reach out to the physical world, they have the strongest energy at the time. It is also my understanding that spirits do other things, so they may be busy at the time of the session. In the end, it doesn't mean your loved ones are not with you in spirit or do not want to communicate. It's important to remember, this isn't a Science, but I believe it really depends on the ability of the spirit and I to connect at any given time.

4- Why do they give you clues, signs, feelings, symbols, and impressions at first, then get more direct and speak in regular communication as the session moves forward?

This doesn't always happen. Sometimes, they give me their name and start direct clear and accurate communication almost immediately. Other times, it gets much clearer as the session develops. It is my belief that when I first connect, the connection may not always be strong enough at first, then we kind of "get into the groove" as the session develops. Also, spirits often wait to give their message until after they know that the person I'm sitting with and I are confident, without a doubt in our mind, of who they are. Their message would mean much less if we weren't completely positive it's our loved one.

5- Are all sessions equally accurate and clear?

No....again, I do not understand why myself, but some sessions are crystal clear giving me specific details the entire time...other ones, I have to continually ask questions and really push for the details. I believe it has something to do with the connection at the time and the energy of the person I'm sitting with.

6- Why does my loved one talk about insignificant or odd things sometimes instead of giving you information like my nickname or a special memory that I would immediately connect with?

Spirits say and talk about what they want to. I have no control over it at all. I wish they would say exactly what they need to say to convince the person I'm sitting with quickly, and sometimes it works just that way, but not always and I have no idea why. I do believe that often times the things they discuss & the validation info they give are things they feel are not too general but also not something I could possibly know.

7- Why do they give you initials and not names?

I often times do get exact names; however, when I do get initials, it's important to explain that sometimes they give me the letter itself, but most often, they are saying a name, but I can only understand pieces of it, like the first letter or the ending.

8- Do all spirits talk about different things?

Yes and No. They all talk about different things, but there are certain universal signs and symbols for me that I see frequently. Also, their messages are sometimes similar. No two sessions are ever identical- most all talk about completely different things. It's important for me to explain here that I'm just the messenger, so while I try to help the person I'm sitting with by explaining what that symbol typically means for me, it doesn't always mean the same thing. While I'm very eager to help by giving suggestions for a lot of what they show me & say, it's really important that the person doing the session knows what the Spirit is saying and understands.

9- Why do they connect & what do they want to say?

In my opinion, spirits who come through have a message to deliver to someone in the physical world....they do that through me. These messages are typically one of love, hope, peace, understanding, and unsettled or unresolved situations. It's not about me proving myself , it's truly about people knowing that their loved ones are still with them in Spirit & hopefully offering peace to not only those in the physical world, but often to the spirits as well.

10- You are a psychic too, does that mean you can look at people and know everything about them?

Not at all. The biggest misconception about Psychics and Mediums is that we should know everything about everyone. It just doesn't work this way. Remember, we are not the ones "pulling the strings" & we only know what we are "shown" and are supposed to know.
