A festival-goer has confessed she still gets terrified messages from ravers who she predicted were going to DIE while pretending to be psychic at Creamfields - with one poor bloke even taking out a WILL.
Sophia Burke managed to convince festival goers she had psychic abilities at Creamfields last year and even predicted the age they were going to die.
The 27-year-old had turned up at the Cheshire dance festival alone and after failing to find her friends, who'd arrived days earlier, she tagged along with a group of strangers.

One member of the group asked Sophia for a reading as she was giving off 'psychic vibes' and as her description of his personality was so accurate, she managed to convince the group of 30 that she was a 'red-haired witch'.
The bartender says she still gets terrified messages six months on from people whose death she predicted and one of them even wrote a will after she informed him he wouldn't make it to 34.
Sophia, from Dunfermline, Scotland, said: "I was at the bar and a guy approached me and said I was giving off psychic vibes because I had a crystal necklace on.
"He said 'do me, do me' so I asked him if he had a younger brother and he said he had and I asked if he was popular at school and he said yes and he couldn't believe how accurate I was being.
"Then his friend asked me to do a reading for him so I told him he was insecure but he masked it by being funny and they said it was so true.
"I said things that were true so they were convinced I was an actual psychic but I was just going off the vibe I was getting.
"The more I was getting things right, I was thinking 'am I psychic?'
"They asked me to go back to their tent and do their mates so I went and there were around 30 people sat in a circle. As we approached, one of the guys announced that he'd found a red-haired witch.
"I thought it had all gone a bit far so I said I didn't have my tarot cards with me. One of them said they had some playing cards so I started telling them to choose a card each."
The mum-of-two admits to freestyling with her readings including a prediction that one man would come into 'earned' money and months later he reached out to tell her that she'd been right as he had a promotion at work.
And one man took Sophia's prediction that he was going to die at 33 so literally that he rushed home and had a will drawn up.
Sophia said: "One of them chose the eight of spades and I said eight is for money and spades means you're in a bit of a hole and you're trying to dig yourself out of it but I told him he was going to come into some money that would be earned.
"Then he text me recently saying he'd got a promotion.
"One guy asked if I knew when people were going to die so I started saying the first number that came into my mind, 63, 70.
"I told one poor guy that he was going to be 32 and he went pure white so I changed it to 33.
"I thought he looked quite young so I thought I was giving him a good few years.
"I kept bumping into people and they were asking if I was the red-haired witch and when they were going to die."
Sophia says she still gets recognised as the red-haired witch in her hometown, despite it being three hours away from the Cheshire-based festival.
Sophia said: "The rave community is quite close so I've had people coming up to me at other events in Scotland who say they know me from Creamfields.
"One guy I bumped into said I'd told him he was ugly as a child which is why he has a good personality which he said was totally true.
"I just said it was sorry and I wasn't actually a psychic."
Some partygoers have reached out to Sophia since asking if she could give their girlfriends a reading or to let her know that her predictions were correct.
Now, they're trying to convince Sophia to invest in a crystal ball set up a tent at this year's festival to make some extra cash.
Sophia said: "People say I should go this year and set up a tent to make some money.
"I won't be setting up a gazebo but I'll probably spend my weekend telling people I'm not psychic.
"I don't do that as a job. It was just a vibe I was feeling. Someone told me to bring a crystal ball but I think it would be a bit heavy.
"A lot of guys were saying their girlfriends would love it and asked if I had a website.
"I keep getting messages from people saying I gave them a psychic reading. That wasn't my intention.
"I just say I'm not a psychic and I was really drunk. I don't do it for a living, I was there for a dance."
