A Paranormal Dating Service....Really
Inside the Supernatural Dating Society, a Site for People Obsessed With Ghosts, Astrology, and Finding Love
The Amazing Kreskin is a legendary mentalist who has been touring the world for decades now, amazing people with his mind. (Yes, that's his real full name. Now 80, he legally changed his name from George Kresge to The Amazing Kreskin years ago. Like, his first name is The Amazing. OK, moving on.) Kreskin recently launched a dating website called Supernatural Dating Society, where "enthusiasts of the paranormal, the unexplained, the mystical, the implausible..." can go to find love. Cosmopolitan.com spoke with Kreskin on the phone to talk about the site and whether or not it was cool for ghosts to use it.
You say on your website that you launched it because you found out a lot of people are interested in the supernatural, but they don't feel comfortable talking about it with dates. Was there anything specific that people wanted to talk to you about after shows? Or was it just kind of anything paranormal, supernatural?
It's very, very interesting. Most people I talked to would like to meet people that they could join and visit places that seem like they're haunted. They don't want to do it by themselves. The other area, which is gigantic, is the UFO area. There are people who would like to go to sites — and listen, I don't happen to believe in alien landings, but some people do. As far as UFOs, I talk to too many pilots that have had planes tracked; they told me stories; they said, "Kreskin, if we went back and made this public, we'd probably lose our jobs because the company would say, 'You're acting crazy,'" or what have you. They want to go with someone they know feels the same way.
How interactive will you be on the site? Do you have your own profile up there?
No, not for myself. I only have four days off a month, so there's not much time for dating. What I'm going to do also, is I'm going to make some commentary every week or two on what seems to be the dominant thing people are wanting to read about, whether it's a UFO thing or something else, and then I can give my own experiences and so forth. I like to keep on top of things.
So how does the site work? Do people just list categories of things that they're interested in?
Yeah, and you fill out your form and your area of interest. Maybe something supernatural that has happened to you. Just two or three sentences so at least someone interested might say, "Let me follow up on this. It's something similar that happened to me that I can't explain."
