Celebrity Psychic Cancels Show, Blames 'Unforeseen Circumstances'

Psychic medium to the Stars Derek Acorah has made quite a career for himself being a glorified Ouija board and OK! magazine's go-to prognosticator of vague celebrity tattle.

But the Most Haunted star was apparently unable to foresee the circumstances that would force him to cancel a recent show in Scotland.

Acorah's agent wouldn't specify, but said that "personal reasons" were responsible for the cancellation.

I do an after-school enrichment activity at my school in which I take a student whom I've never met and do a "psychic reading" on him or her. When it is done I ask them how much I got right - I've never scored less than at 75%. Whether on not psychic abilities exist, you should know that it is incredibly easy to "fake" those abilities - and every psychic I've seen uses techniques that are indistinguishable from faking.

When he invaded England in 1066, one of the few ships that was lost in the crossing carried his court astrologer. The Duke discounted the loss, remarking, "he couldn't even predict his own fate."
