It sounds to me as if the paranormal might have been working with the dealer.

I have to wonder, if the person buying a keris cannot "feel" the energy of a certain keris for himself, if they are not sensitive to the esorteric properties, what is the purpose of asking a paranormal to tell you what you SHOULD "feel" from it. What good is the esorteric energy of a keris if the owner cannot attune himself to it? Living a spiritual and mystical life is a path, one that requires work. People like the gentleman in your story ALLOW themselves to be victimized by surrendering their own spiritual selves to paranormals, psychics and dukkuns and allowing others to dictate to them what they need to learn to sense and feel on their own. While i do believe that there are psychics and dukkuns who are both honest and sincere, there is a very long history of charlatans working this side of the street for a mighty profit.
