James Van Praagh looks to be sinking to a new low in manipulating the bereaved. He seems to be asking the parents of dead children to help him write his next book. This from an email he just sent out: Translation:

I just read the following on a web site (not Van Praagh's): I sent this person a private message asking for details. I also started a thread on his site asking if anyone was familiar with the claim. Anyone here ever heard this?

From May 12, 2010 New York Post: Never doubt the word of "The Ghost Whisperer" -- even if you're Barbara Walters. Back in July, the co-executive producer of the popular show, psychic James Van Praagh, was a guest on "The View." Backstage, Van Praagh told Walters that he believed there was an...

Here's some articles about James Van Praagh's current book tour. In the first one Van Praagh insults the host for being a skeptic, and in the second he tells the interviewer that he doesn't care if people believe him or not. Full article: wgntv.com The Denver Post: Full: Denver Post This...

Hello all! My local book store (Book Revue, in Huntington, NY) is hosting a book signing with James Van Praagh in a couple of weeks. I've been to a number of book signings there, and this one I definitely want to attend. But I'd like your advice on how to proceed. Should I: - Go loaded with...

Let's say you are attending the American Library Association meeting spoken of by Stephen in the latest Swift Blog, where James Van Praagh is the speaker. Unlike the managed TV shows, now you've got him where you want him and can ask questions. Perhaps some in the audience are not True...

I keep getting spam from Mishka Productions. This is their latest:

I seem to remeber someone coming up with that idea first. Imagine the jref went on a cruise at the same time and we ran into each other on the boat...oh man. http://www.ronoyer.com/VanPraagh/Alaska_Aug08/ What a clown.

This coming Friday (Nov 16), Larry King is hosting another hour of credulous guessing games with cold readers John Edward and James van Praagh. To make the show less painful, I developed a John Edward / James van Praagh Bingo card - check off a square for every lame cold-reading trick you note...

Hi! I've just come to understand that one of our new tv-channels here in Sweden is focusing on shows from the ummm... paranormal genre. None are skeptical in their approach and its rather intresting to see them being aired without any discussions whatsoever. Now, one show in particular has...

A brief excerpt that is pretty good:

Let's not forget Browne isn't the only one: Article at Van Praagh’s website: http://www.vanpraagh.com/story.cfm?mediaID=9

The Akers might have a cause of action against the two "psychics." After all, these frauds probably led to volunteer searchers wasting their time, to emotional distress of the parents, and maybe to less effort by law enforcement (if the child is alive there are more resources allocated to the...

7:00 and 10:00 p.m. (CST). The commercial they've been running to promote the show starts by saying "He doesn't look like what you expect a flakey psychic to look like." I guess I'm not their target audience, because to me he looks exactly like what I expect a flakey psychic to look like. I'd...

Psychic James Van Praagh had a feeling while driving through western New York. When stopped at a Police roadblock that was part of a manhunt for a fugitive who shot two state troopers, Van Praagh relayed this crucial bit of information: he saw a white house with cellar doors that belonged to a...

Appears that Larry will have our favorite friends on tonight - Van Praagh, Browne, Margolis. The title is 'Psychics vs. Skeptics', but I noted a large void when it came to mentioning any of the latter's names. I don't know. Do you think it will be worth watching even? Will this be the same...

According to a CNN ad I saw this morning, Larry King will have Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, and a third fraud who's name I don't recall, on his show tonight (9:00 ET). IIRC he promised they would confront skeptics. I don't know if it is a new show or a rerun.

Here is a report from Mark Mayer on James Van Praagh in Australia http://www.mindillusionist.com.au/jvp.htm

Yesterday (January 30, 2004) I was unfortunate enough to catch Larry King Live on CNN International, where Mr. King conducted an inteveiw with "medium" James van Praagh under the title "Speaking to Heaven?". The interview featured some upsettingly cheesy cold reading of callers eager to...

JVP was a call in guest on Howard Stern this morning. Must be getting desperate if he is plugging his books on a show that has repeatedly stated how psychics are a bunch of phonies. From Marks Friggin the rest of the highlights are near the bottom of this page. Gee, seeing a horse in...

I just watched an episode of "Beyond" with James Van Praagh. Holy F^*&^ing sh*&(*t. Not only does he know beforehand why the person is there, he actively, ACTIVELY uses their knowledge as a stage for his bullsh*t. One example: a woman whose fiance, days before their marriage, inexplicably...

Amyone have any information about Van Fraud supposedly solving a murder at some point? My woo-woo boss and I got into about this some time ago. She started in about the murdersolving thing, which I knew nothing about. She's talking about how it's "well documented," which I can say is incorrect...

(cross posted at TVTalk) Wow, check out this month's "Message of Hope" written by George Anderson on his website. Under the guise of lashing out at the media, he takes big hits at John Edward and James Van Praagh. While not naming either one, it is clear who he is talking about. JE is the one...

I know this topic isn't about Randi's latest commentary, but it seems that Randi completely forgot about the contest in which readers were to submit their analyses of James Van Pragh readings on the Larry King show. This contest appeared in the May 3, 2002 Commentary. He gave readers two weeks...
