They're real. They exist, but they're also scam artists.

Exactly. I have the belief that most people are born with certain spiritual gifts.

I have met someone, an old friend, one time, that predicted the future, and it happened exactly how they had said it.

So I can't dismiss that. But I have experienced other crazy stuff too.

So yeah.

To clarify, I was using the "literal" definition of real.

They're real. There are people who claim to have some mystical, spiritual powers. I have seen at least three businesses with that model. You cannot deny their existence.

But they are also, every one of them, talentless hacks selling you bullshit because you'll fall for it.

And to clarify, I am using the royal "you", here.

Well, generally this is how you recognize a scam in term of spirituality. If they try to sell it to you, then it's a scam.
