June Field, the world’s greatest medium, and the strange case of a finger-biting monkey

WORD soon spreads when you’re able to accurately predict a perfect stranger is missing a fingertip because a monkey bit it off.

That’s what happened on one of Sunday Post medium June Field’s previous trips to Nairn and now people flock to the star’s shows in the Highland town, where she’ll appear again next month.

“I was demonstrating in the community centre and when I told a lady the top of her finger was missing because a monkey bit it, she was gobsmacked but said I was perfectly right,” said June, from Dundee.

“It’s information like that I give which seems to make me stand out!”

And that demonstration of random but personal information isn’t an isolated case.

“Another time I told a lady she had two photographs in her purse that were looking a little scabby and she confirmed she did have the photos but denied they were worse for wear,” June continued.

“So I told her to bring out her purse and show the audience the pictures to let them decide. They agreed the photos were indeed all frayed.

“I also gave a family contact from their father to say he’d arrived safe and well in spirit. They were surprised, as his funeral wasn’t until the next day!”

When you’ve been crowned the world’s greatest psychic, as June was in a top-rated TV show in Ukraine, then it isn’t unusual to have to deal with sceptics.

But given half a chance she can soon change their minds.

“I gave contact to a sceptical man that his late tan-coloured dog was at his feet. He said the dog was euthanised four years ago and he’d been devastated.

“I told him the lead was still hanging up and he was also currently doing DIY but didn’t know what he was doing.

“I went on to tell him he hadn’t taken his pills that morning and he had problems with the floorboards in a room of his house.

“He said that was right he’d only just lifted the carpet that morning.”

June will perform two nights at The Little Theatre, Nairn, on September 1 and 2. Munlochy Animal Aid in Inverness will benefit from the demonstrations.

The shows follow a successful evening in Sutherland this month.

“I told a lady that an elderly man in spirit who had half his leg removed hadn’t been buried with his prosthetic limb and it was actually in her loft, which she verified.

“And I also brought forward a woman’s father who told me she’d put a teddy on the end of his coffin during the funeral service and now had it in her handbag. She pulled it out and showed the audience.”
