Ribble Valley businessman unveils psychic school plans (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Is it April 1st?

Yes, Gwrych Castle, I knew it!

Visited 20 sites, he is not that psychic then.

Why is this news?

I knew that already!

Ridiculous story - a guy runs a psychic business and buys a castle which I assume he has bought to turn into a tourist attraction for ghost hunters and.... surprise surprise when he took a photo of the place there was a ghost present! What a coincidence - how on earth did the Telegraph fall for that?

I saw this coming yesterday ... from reading his other plug/ad about the ridiculous 'ghost picture'. So I expect we shall see an army of 'ordinary people' paying £100s up front, desperately thinking or being 'persuaded' they're 'psychic' ... 'graduating' from this 'school' going out into the world, cold reading people in exchange for the usual crossing of palms with silver - plenty of those along Blackpool's promenade! in their bunco booths - or £20 note for 10 minutes to tell people what they want to hear at that point in life. Is Mr Horkin trying to rival the Spiritualist Church or any of the Arthur Findley Colleges who run similar courses? Least with those you know they are accredited courses not new age 'esoteric' hokum and probably a lot cheaper. Just what the world doesn't need right now, more people to prey on the misery of the financial crisis who will turn to all and sundry to find 'answers' to their present misery rather than look around them, at the world in general ... let's all go to the local 'psychic' down the road who charges you £20 to £50 for 10 minutes and no free biscuit or tea. If you really must seek answers in life go to a spiritualist church or something, not one of these fly by night 'academies' ... it's free to go, and you get a free cup of tea and biscuit. You can also leave at any point and not worry about getting fleeced by someone who has been convinced they are psychic - because it's amazing what £500 does, it'll buy you anything except the truth - by one of these places.

No coincidence, either, then he's opening it in 2012 I suppose. As for the ghost pictures on his mobile. All I will say is that you'd have to be really gullible to fall for that but also probably the right kind of 'ordinary' person who will get lured to this school, and parting with lots of dosh in the getgo. God, it's worse than Crufts, you'll get all these David Beckham and Posh Spice alike divas of the 'psychic world' mauling each other over whom is the best down there. lol

Psychic powers? as full of rubbish and lies as religion...deluded..

Blaa blaa blaa & On & On you forgot to remind us all !!!!! that you once lived in Clitheroe but not any more any landlords out there want to shut have a early night invite this guy in to your pub for for a drink.

I've just checked this guy out on his website... www.kevinhorkin.com

I remember him from being on that TV programme 'how I made my property million'

It's absolutely clear to me that he will be borrowing to buy the castle and borrowing to restore it. His exit strategy to turn it into a phsycic centre will fail as it will not yield enough return to cover his debts. Kevin - do yourself a big favour, I know you want the castle but leave it well alone! Otherwise you will bite off far more than you can chew.

You've had your successes in the past but in the current economic climate, if you don't have millions in the bank; steer well clear pal. You probably know this deep down yourself. I'd be very surprised if the bank will lend on this based on your exit strategy / long term funding plan.

Incidentally, why does this guy keep applying to go on TV shows and ringing newspapers with what he is up to? It's not like he's promoting a particular business, he's just promoting himself, or just saying 'look everyone, I'm brilliant me'. It's like that film how to lose friends and alienate people! If he did eventually become famous, he'd be like Grant Bovey's cheesy twin! Cringeworthy!
