" they dispense (Letters, July 20). Could it be that they have taken the trouble to test their claims and have decided that they are genuine? I am not young. I am 69 and have been fascinated by all aspects of the paranormal since my teens. I have consulted psychics/ astrologers/Tarot card readers/ palmists for decades and, like the young people you mention, have found most of them to be genuine.

Most sceptics, like Mr Moorcroft, doubt everything - except their doubt!

I advise Ian Moorcroft to open his mind.
