The Psychic Fair is back and being held across London’s campuses.
On Tuesday, students crowded into the third floor Lounge of Fanshawe’s London South campus and waited in long lineups for a five-minute reading with psychics. All for the hope of getting a glimpse into their futures.

Harmanjot Singh spent nearly an hour and a half in line waiting for his turn. “I don’t know what they’re going to say, but I’m interested to know,” says Singh.
Singh says he’s never been to a psychic before and isn’t really certain if he believes they’re real. He does wonder if a reading could help, nonetheless.
“I believe there is some kind of positive vibes. If you know something, and act that way, it’s going to move you forward. That’s why I want to know what she’s going to say for me.”
The attendees were a mixture of believers and skeptics.
“I don’t believe but everybody else is going so I’m going to try it,” says Rupinder, another student. “It’s not the ultimate truth, it’s just for fun.”
Her friend, Meet Shah, took a different approach.
“If it’s a positive, then I believe it,” says Shah. “If it’s not good, I’m not going to believe in that.”
He did say that he’d had a tarot reading done in the past, and everything the psychic said came true.

Student life coordinator Patrick Nichol helped organize this year’s event and brought the psychic fair to the South campus last semester. He says this year’s turnout out was much better than he expected.
“I noticed that this semester especially, students have been attending a lot more events,” says Nichol. “I know a lot of students were extremely excited because after being cooped up for however many years, they want to go and see their friends.”
He’s also no stranger to psychics and had a reading in the past.
“I was nervous. You hear something and you’re able to relate to it. I don’t know if it’s just a general response that the psychic is giving you, or if they can genuinely tell how you’re feeling or the aura you might be giving off. I was able to connect to what the psychic told me, it kind of got me teary eyed.”

He wasn’t the only one who had that experience.
After one reading, a girl burst into tears and needed to be held by Taryn, the psychic who she was talking to, before having to leave the lounge to compose herself.
While she didn’t want to talk, she did say she was grateful for the experience.
The Psychic Fair will be at the main campus on Monday, February 13th.
