Mall Palm Reader Attacked For Being 'Psychic'

Note from Steve: If he was pyschic, shouldn't he have seen this coming?

Hanover, MD (WJZ/AP) - A woman who apparently had a grudge against self-professed psychics severely punished a mall palm reader who failed after being put to a test.

Police say that around 4:30pm on Monday the woman approached 38 year-old Kevin Patrick Miles, who owns the Zodiac Zone kiosk at Arundel Mills, and said, "So, you're supposed to be a psychic?"

Miles says the woman then pulled a soda bottle from her purse, threw it at his head, and asked "Did you see that coming?" before leaving.

Miles immediately told mall security, but says they didn't call police until 8:30 p.m. when he asked to review the security tapes.

The kiosk owner said the woman had begun making scenes two weeks ago and this was the third time within that period that she had stopped be his place of business. He said she tells him he's satanic and that his kiosk goes against the teachings of God. He went on to say that each time the woman had been becoming more aggressive. But, Monday was the first time she had assaulted him.

The woman is described as Asian, in her early 40s, with a slim build.

  1. Follow-Up Question: If he really is psychic, how come he hasn't won the lottery?

  2. True dat ;-)

    It's safe to say that if you believe in psychic power and you're getting your readings at the mall, it's a good chance you're gettin' duped.

  3. Between this story and the lawsuit-inducing shoe store clusterfuck you recently posted, I'm beginning to realize strange things are afoot at the mall.

  4. We live in some pretty desperate times, and a lot of folks are really stressed out. The crazier we get, the crazier the stories become.
