Fleureo<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

11 a.m., April 19, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us, either in person or online, as we watch Rob Palmer interview former psychic Fleureo.<\/p>\n

Fleureo was raised by her mother to be a psychic and was a long-time true-believer and practicing psychic, but she then came to realize what she perceived as psychic powers were just fabrications of her own mind.<\/p>\n

To her credit, Fleureo did not bury her realization and go on with life\u2014as if nothing had changed\u2014and knowingly pretend to be psychic. Instead, Fleureo created a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com\/@fleureo_) to shine the light of reason on the psychic and mediumship business, exposing the tricks and manipulation tactics used by those in this line of work. Her channel boasts over 24,000 subscribers, so hopefully she is changing many minds.<\/p>\n

Rob Palmer has had a diverse career in engineering, having worked as a spacecraft designer, an aerospace project engineer, a computer programmer, and a software systems engineer. Rob became a skeptical activist when he joined the Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia team in 2016, and began writing for Skeptical Inquirer<\/i> Magazine<\/a> in 2018. Rob can be contacted at [TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com](mailto:TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com) Like Rob’s Facebook page<\/a> to get notified when his articles are published.<\/p>\n
