Tiscali Press Release - BRITAIN: "A NATION OF PSYCHICS"

Tiscali brings the latest trend to the Ideal Home Show with live readings

The nation is undergoing a spiritual transformation according to research By Tiscali, the Internet and Broadband Company. As recent world events cause people to ask 'is this it?' a study released today by Tiscali UK reveals that almost half of the UK has visited a psychic (49%) and that more than one in ten (11%) report having psychic experiences regularly.

Ghosts appear to be a common sight in the UK, with 1 in 3 people believing they have seen a ghost, whilst a further 32% believe in ghosts despite not having seen one. And it seems the nation is protected by those in the afterlife, as 48% believe they are watched over by a guardian angel.

This spiritual awakening is also hitting the UK social scene, with psychic parties taking over as the ultimate experience of 2005.

In response to this trend Tiscali is bringing its resident psychic Lyn Guest De Swarte to The Ideal Home Show on the 12 and 13 October, to offer psychic readings, mediumship and aura analysis in the Tiscali lounge.

Richard Ayers, editor of tiscali.co.uk, says: "We always aim to provide our customers with the latest content; to match the latest trends. Since we launched our New Age Channel in 2003 it has grown in popularity and is now attracting over one million visitors a month.

"The paranormal no longer conjures up images of Victorian séances. It is being embraced by people of all ages and backgrounds, as illustrated by the popularity of Tiscali's New Age Channel."

Psychic Lyn, Tiscali's resident expert, offers a unique, free service online, answering questions sent in by users and delivering personal messages from the other side on her Tiscali web page, www.tiscali.co.uk/lifestyle/newage.
