6 Psychics to Visit on Your Jersey Shore Vacation

Practically every Friday night in the summer, my friends and I would pile into the car and head straight to Seaside Heights.

One evening, we decided to visit Diana, a boardwalk psychic situated on the Northern end of the boardwalk. Her little booth was shrouded in mystery, with a sign out front sporting a picture of a palm and all the secrets the map of your hand holds.

My friend went in first, and when she came out she had a look of shock on her face.

"What did she say?" I asked.

"She looked at my hands and said, 'you work with puppets'," she said.

This freaked us out, because my friend's summer job was dressing up as Daffy Duck at Great Adventure, and the department--shows--referred to the costumed characters as "puppets."

Now how did Diana know this? Was it a lucky guess? Were we wearing our employee pins? I don't think so, but it was such a random thing for Diana to pick up.  We were impressed.

Now, some don't believe in psychics or their powers. There are people who are psychic intuitive, who pick up vibes from the people they are reading.

I find it all fascinating, while keeping in mind that most psychic readings are "for entertainment purposes only."

With this is in mind, here are a few suggestions of some local psychics to check out if you are visiting on vacation:

Diana's Readings: Psychic Readings by Susan and Diana: Sadly, Diana passed away, but her daughter, Susan, continues the tradition  in the shop's new location next to Jimbo's.
