My Child is an Indigo

[Nero]

Saturday afternoon pottering about in the kitchen whilst my toddler was similarly pottering about in the garden, keeping an eye on her just to make sure she was safe. Notice she’s have a “conversation” with the hydrangea, on closer listening she actually seems to be having a conversation with “Granddad”, who obviously lives in the hydrangea bush. Don’t think much of it and carry on with my pottering.

Later on the same day, sitting on the sofa I ask the little one who she was talking to in the garden. “Granddad” she replies pointing to a photo on the sideboard of her maternal Grandfather.

Now this is where the Indigo bit kicks in, the photo she pointed to is a photo of my wife's farther who died approx 8 years ago, 6 years before little one was born. She’s never shown any interest in the photo before, and we’ve never explained to her who the photo was of.

If you where that way inclined then this would demonstrate irrefutable prove that she can commune with ghosts, and has indeed got special powers. I of course do not subscribe to any of that particular BS, but do you think I could get Channel 4 to make a documentary?

Sure. Just don't mention the possibility that you've ever referred to the photo as being of her grandfather within her earshot. Even TV journalists might figure that one out...

It would only be remarkable if you had many different photos of old men on show in your house, only one (or two) of which were of your grandfathers.

In fact remove the photo and put it - and any others of the grandfather - in a box in your loft. Then when the TV crews come around 'remember' about the photo and show it to the kid: "Grandad!" and fame and wealth will be yours.

Also don't forget that Hydrangeas were always your wife's father's favourite flower, and that the church was decorated with them for his funeral or some other detail. They loves the details, do documentary makers.

I wish we had indigo money. It looks so much prettier than boring brown and grey.

Or I could put the child in the same box that Granddad is currently in, or would that be considered cruel?

Teach Those Gullibles a Lesson!

After you get on the air, why don't you come out as having scammed the news crew to make a point about how we should all be more skeptical? Perhaps for a competing network?

Pull a Randi hoax on them and come clean afterwards. Check the video online of Randi's "Carlos" hoax for a great example.

I have an indigo fridge.

You would never understand.

I have an indigo fridge.

Whenever you put your cans of beer in, you say "Indigo"?

Yes, yes, it would be cruel!

The man is dead, dammit, have some decency and at least leave him his own coffin! He's lost everything else ...

If you play her cards right, you might even get a guest shot on Medium.

It is a long, long time since I studied Latin, whilst I always "enjoyed" Catullus you're going to have to help me out here...........

A stab would be "Indigo indigo by chance lores upon to plow. Demno lores demar ferocious seefit without coosan duke" - I don't think this is quite right

 

[Euromutt]

Try reading it phonetically, Nero. Think "forty lorries in a row" and you'll be on the right track.

The version I know is slightly different:
Civile, res ago
Fortibus es in ero
Gnoses mare, Thebe trux
Vatis inem? Causan dux.

Ahh, thanks I think. Nothing like showing off one's cognation in public

Since you didn't decide to investigate properly, because you've already come to conclusion that it is all bull-. There is not information tangible enough to make any sort of worthy case.

For instance, you're just telling us she had a conversation, but exactly what was the conversation about? Did you ask her what she was talking about with 'granddad'? It most likely will be a bunch of rubbish, but then there is always that unknown possibilty she could know something very specific beyond mere circumstance.

A Skeptical Investigation means a willingness to suspend your judgement so that you can follow through despite your views. James Randi does this for the 1 million dollar challenge, there is no excuse for you not to put effort in doing the same.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it's my thread so I will anyway.

Same daughter as mentioned above picked out this years winner of the Grand National, so I'm now £100 better off. Power of the Indigo, it can make you rich.

Not gloating or anything.

So, it's taken you almost a whole year to get another "hit".
I'm convinced...
