Meet the dating site for people who believe in UFOs


Dating sites and apps often make users take personality questionnaires about their interests. But what if your pastimes include discussing paranormal activity?
Enter The Amazing Kreskin's Supernatural Dating Society, which helps paranormal enthusiasts find similar-minded companions. The site's 80-year-old founder, the Amazing Kreskin himself, spoke to Cosmopolitan about the site, which he says provides users with "a way to express themselves, and not feel embarrassed or humiliated or like they're a kook."
Kreskin explained that after his mentalist shows, people would often tell him they wanted to find others to accompany them in exploring allegedly haunted sites, and his website will allow users with similar paranormal interests, whether that means mind control or UFOs, to connect. In the Cosmopolitan interview, he also offered up some sage dating advice, suggesting that people "put the damn cell phone away" and have actual conversations with one another.

Unfortunately, Kreskin himself plans to stay single: He told Cosmopolitan that he only takes four days off each month, so he doesn't have much time for a relationship.
