A man looking for a psychic has splashed out on a huge roadside ad - but refuses to put his contact details as a real medium will "know where to apply".
The mystery person contacted signage company Mandoemedia and forked out an unspecified amount for the advert to go live near a busy commuter route in Manchester on August 18.
It reads "psychic wanted - you know where to apply" - as they claimed a real medium "would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them".
ManchesterEveningNews reported puzzled passers-by have been left scratching their heads at the cryptic ad and why their services are needed.
Steve Baxter, from Mandoemedia.com, said "We were contacted by an individual to place this advert seeking a psychic.
"Initially we thought it was a joke but the individual explained they were deeply serious and wanted to find a genuine psychic.
"They felt the best way to do that would be to put out a 'psychic wanted advert with no contact information because a good psychic would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them.
"It wasn’t made clear exactly why they were in need of a psychic, maybe they had been swindled by a fake psychic in the past or perhaps they want clarity on their future, we don’t know.
"But we are seriously invested in this experiment and it would be incredible if it actually works."
It comes after singleton Muhammad Malik took an unorthodox approach to matchmaking using a massive billboard.
The ad linked to a website and received more than 1,000 applications in a matter of days, with another 1,000 women sending him messages over social media.
The 29-year-old set up the website 'Findmailkawife.com' with his face plastered on several advertising hoardings across Birmingham.
He told Birmingham Live he took the unusual approach to find romance after the usual methods of meeting "the one" did not work.
Drivers on the A34 near the Perry Barr Greyhound Track can see a 20ft billboard of him lying on his side pointing upwards with a big smile and joking: "Save me from an arranged marriage."
