Marion Dampier Jeans - anyone heard of her?

[Admin]

I've had an enquiry from a Danish skeptic about a self-proclaimed psychic called Marion Dampier Jeans.

"Nowadays Danish-born Marion is one of England's biggest and most recognized clairvoyants.

Among her customers we find both members of the british royal family, well-known politicians, world-famous actors and singers - and the Scotland Yard."

She could be Britain's #1 psychic! (As they all are).

I've never heard of her so I'm just wondering if anyone else has any information on her and her claims.

I notice that these Royals, politicians, etc., are not named, but she's claiming Scotland Yard is one of her customers!

So, just wondering if anyone has looked into her activities here in the UK so I can give some info back to the Danish skeptics.

Seems she is just another lunatic who thinks James Randi has killed someone. She writes books that are equally as bland as the rest of the books on woo. She has made a couple of appearances in Tv programmes, and she operates out of spiritualist churches. She is far from well known or famous, but then they always claim to be the best known psychic in *pick a country*. They also like to claim they had the "gift" from a very early age. Im sure these websites for psychics and mediums all come from the same template (just insert name here, specify type of woo, paypay or phone readings)

I have never heard of her either, and a name like that is probably easy to remember.



(damper jeans *snicker*)


Ooooo! She works with ectoplasm and victorian seances - I wonder if she's a pal of super-trumpeter Colin Fry?

[wooo_oops]

She's offering a challenge to skeptics...One million dollars to any skeptic who can rebut the evidence for the existence of the afterlife...

What with killing people, ogling kiddie porn, running an evil empire of debunkers and pretending to have a million dollars to give away, I'm amazed that Randi manages to get any work done...

Do not be alarmed by seismic events affecting your homes. These are caused by tectonic displacement of the burden of proof.

[bobdezon]

Yep, she isnt even willing to put up her own million dollars. What I find perplexing is the rules for said challenge.

The challenge' refers to the offer of one million dollars. The 'offeror' refers to Victor Zammit who is making the challenge. 'The Committee' refers to a group of people expert in afterlife evidence

Apparantly your rubuttal will go before a select commitee (and by select I mean all selected by zammit) They will decide at that point wether your rebuttal actually disproves the afterlife (and consequently exposes the judges expertise and infact entire lives work to cold hard scrutiny) These are experts in the afterlife, yet I am aware there is no such expertise, so this is a ridiculous claim. How can you be an expert in something that may or may not exist?

I strongly suspect that even if you submitted the most brilliant well researched rebuttal in thie history of mankind that this "panel of puppets" will surely rebuke your explanation. Too do otherwise would prove them all to be idiots of the higest calibre and also lose old dammit a cool million (he wont be too pleased about that now will he?)

This challenge is nonsensical, you cannot disprove a negative.

Dammit!

[codger]

Reading Zammit's site makes my brain bleed but after a quick shufti at it I can't see any evidence that his $1m actually exists. Perhaps it doesn't need to as the "challenge" is completely unwinnable. But at least Randi backs his challenge up with evidence that he really has the money.

And while I'm feeling grumpy anyway, why can't any of these mediums, psychics, afterlife believers etc. spell for chrissakes.

Bah!

Nope, this old canard has been doing the rounds for years. It seems to pop up as an internet rumour whenever Randi's name is in the news. Absolute hogwash, of course, but it reveals the moral backruptcy of the woo-woos.

[bobdezon]

They can be quite insidious, Ive noticed they like to present the Love & Light face at the start of a debate. You know the type of thing

"yes of course I respect your sceptical views, but all I ask in return is you respect my belief its ok to burn evil spirits out of very young children using a curling iron".

When you crush their already fragile,nonsensical, belief with a flurry of blazing logic, lightning wit and factual evidence they turn into something quite different altogether and rabid. There is enormous backstabbing too seemingly on all levels of communication. Its just duplicitous from stem to stern.

I am astonished that such a big lady, who is so "world wide known" in Denmark - one of the proud pioneers of "Sensing Murder" itself – is indeed unknown in UK.

Quoting the Madeleine page http://portugalresident.com/portugalresident/showstory.asp?ID=19070

"From the staff at HolidayTruths - UK

We are praying and praying for you Madeleine and family. May God be with you all, in every place you are searching. Please try everything, like others say, try a medium. From the UK, Marion Dampier-Jeans is world known. Make a donation site and we will donate money for her work. Everything must be tried.

And Marion has surely been most helpful in police investigations.

Translating directly from http://www.liv-sjael.dk/Marion.pdf :

"No, the boy was hit by a car.

For the 38 years she had been working as a psychic, again and again Marion Dampier-Jeans has proven that she has special powers. And she has helped the police several times.

Once when a mother in despair called on her in her home in Waterloo, London. Her son had died in a solo accident on his bike, and she would like to contact her deceased son.

Marion Dampier-Jeans could tell the mother that it was not a solo accident. When Marion "tuned" in on the accident, she could see that the boy had been hit by a white van.

At first the police refused, but Marion could tell the police that video recordings of the accident existed. After a long search the video tape was found, and Marion turned out to be right.

A white van had hit the boy, but unfortunately the culprit was never found because the license plate on the tape was blurred."

Unforunately, no further details are published concerning that amazing story, as usual – what a shame, indeed.

for such a well known psychic to be unheard of world wide can only mean one thing - she isn't and she's lying.
