Derek Acorah claims Madeleine McCann is dead

stopped reading at PSYCHIC.... extremely hurtful and harmful liars, the lot of them. this woman needs to stfu... disgusting person. personally view all psychics lower on the respectable scale than slugs.

Yeah it is
And yet it's still more accurate than anything Derek can pull out of his hat.

"The human pineal gland becomes visible in the developing fetus at seven weeks, or 49 days, after conception. Of great interest to me was finding out that this is nearly exactly the moment in which one can clearly see the first indication of male or female gender.
Before this time, the sex of the fetus in indeterminate, or unknown. Thus, the pineal gland and the most important differentiation of humanity, male and female gender, appear at the same time...
...I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist Book Of The Dead teaches that it takes 49 days for the soul of the recently dead to 'reincarnate'. That is, 7 weeks from the time of death of one person elapses until the life-force's 'rebirth' into its next body...
...It takes 49 days from conception for the first signs of the human pineal to appear. 49 days is also when the fetus differentiates into male or female gender.
Thus the soul's rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require 49 days before they manifest."
He then makes a reference about how the above isn't entirely dissimilar to the old herbal doctrine of signatures "which suggested that a herb's properties depended upon how it looked. If a plant looked like a heart, it must be good for heart disease.
What I'm proposing is a 'doctrine of elapsed time'. If Buddhist texts and human embryology reveal that different developments require 49 days, the events must be related. This association is perhaps logically shaky, but also intuitively appealing."

It's a lot more scientific than "she'll be reincarnated soon. My spidey-senses tell me so".

That's about as scientific as saying 'I am a bear because the speed of light is 3x10^8 m/s" (rounded).

TSR posters should stop getting butthurt over what he said, he's right.

Yeah but he shouldn't claim his imaginary powers led him to this conclusion.

True, but he's not wrong.


I don't want this to be taken in the wrong way, but I find it questionable why our government is sanctioning further research into this case when there are thousands of other more recently missing people. It's time for everyone to just accept that she is dead.

You have no idea whether he's right or wrong, unless you know something the McCanns, the press, the British and Portugese police and others don't know.
She could be alive but living as someone else's child, she could be a sex slave, or she could be dead, we just don't know. And for someone like Acorah to come along and arrogantly claim he knows based on these so called powers of his is complete nonsense.

I don't know any better than anyone else, but the chances of her being alive now are miniscule.

OH derek... i thought i said Deborah

Science-ISH. God I wish people on this forum could ****ing read

It was a Doctor that wrote that, by the way. I'm sure that if he felt it was useless then he wouldn't have bothered writing it down.

He applied a variation of the "old herbal doctrine" that's mentioned to create his own doctrine concerning this subject.

Base science is about observation and then drawing conclusions from the observations post-testing. How can you test something like this? You can't. So you ponder instead. And that was the result of said pondering.

I don't suppose you have a better idea of how these events might be linked? (It might be worth mentioning that Descartes saw the pineal as "the seat of the soul". So no, it's not 'just numbers', it's also got some blokes opinion thrown into the mix [yes, I know who Descartes is. I'm being facetious] ).

He's been exposed as a fraud already. Why is he still going on?

The book is fascinating, I suggest you read it.
It's called "DMT: The Spirit Molecule".

Well unicorns are fascinating too, but there's no truth in them.
