MARCUS BURNETT - SPIRITUAL MEDIUM & PSYCHIC ARTIST

Marcus Burnett was born and raised in Bristol. He had several psychic experiences as a child, a significant one being his prediction that his grandparents on his mothers side would both pass away as soon as they moved to a new home. Ten days after they moved, his grandmother passed away from a stroke, followed by grandfather passing from an embolism the day after his wife's funeral.

​

In the following months Marcus became increasingly fearful of going to bed as the growing sense of something in his room revealed itself via the sound of footsteps, knocking on doors and voices calling his name. Like any other eleven year old child might do, he hid under his bed sheets and put his fingers in his ears to shut it all out, yet the visits persisted until exhaustion and frustration brought him to confront it. Pulling the bed sheets down and turning on the lamp Marcus saw that it was his grandfather sitting and smiling at the foot of his bed. His grandfather was relieved to have got his attention, saying that he wanted mum to know that Nan and he were together and happy. Finally he told Marcus that he would not come back in this way again, asking him to never be afraid before vanishing.

​

 Five years on, these events were practically forgotten, so when Marcus heard that his mum had been going to a spiritualist church, his reaction was of genuine concern. In hope of talking his mother out of such rubbish he agreed to go with her to her next visit.

The medium on the platform that evening was Sam McDowell, a dour-looking old Scotsman who told Marcus that his grandfather, named William, was disappointed in Marcus for coming to disprove things. The medium predicted that one day Marcus would be standing on the platform as a medium himself. Marcus laughed aloud but was quickly silenced when the medium told him that grandfather also knew things weren't going so well at college, so he'd best accept the job offer that was coming in two weeks.

​

Two weeks later Marcus was offered a job in design, which he took.

These events sparked Marcus' interest in developing as a medium, and as Sam predicted, Marcus first served as a young platform medium aged 19, and has been doing so ever since.

​

Marcus has trained at the Arthur Findlay College, enjoying working with many other mediums and exploring the many different forms of mediumship. He has a great interest in Trance and physical mediumship, psychic art and has also a keen interest in science, particularly theoretical and particle physics.

 

Marcus also works both as a psychic artist and as a medium with psychic artists.
