See also, “psychics”, spirit mediums, etc…
There’s a huge house on a corner near me (and I live in a pretty good area now) that has a big sign on the hillside on the back of their house that says “Seek psychic truth” etc… Big house, nice cars, constantly doing upgrades/remodeling… Either she truly is psychic, and is foretelling lotto numbers, or maybe scamming the local population?

I used to record Trinity Broadcast Network in the 80s in hopes of copping some prime snippets to use in the weirdo home recording music I was doing at the time. My go to guy was Dwight Thompson because he brought the fire and brimstone. To this day, I occasionally repeat one of his rants that included, “I’m sick of the filth of immoral affairs!”. Just has a nice ring to it.
