mediums

If you’ve never listened to a podcast called The Dollop, be warned that it is crude and sinks to the lowest depths of the humor to be found in each topic. But frequently very funny. In a recent episode they tell the sick story of Houdini’s rivalry with scam-artist/sex worker/medium Margery...

Matt Fraser,stepping into John Edwards shoes it seems with his style of BS. He has his own relaity TV show as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJUaff2njNw

Older folk here will probably remember the 1970s book by M. Lamar Keene called "The Psychic Mafia" in which the claimed clairvoyant and medium exposed the fraud and fakery behind the USA psychic business back in the 1970s. There is a new series of radio shows on Radio 4 delving into his...

Just saw a tweet and thought it may be interesting to share,a true story of POWs who scammed their way out of prison by pretending to be mediums. https://twitter.com/DHBJones/status/915942395145015297/photo/1

I remember very few details about it. IIRC I saw it mentioned in the early 1980s, when I was on AOL. A professor (possibly Swedish) was offering it as a text file upon request. I got a copy, but I lost it at some point. IIRC it was written by an American man whose career as a medium was in the...

Derek Acorah, TV medium, dies aged 69 I guess she doesn't think she'll be hearing from his spirit anytime soon. He was a "fake medium" as opposed to a "real medium" of course. :rolleyes:

The medium created the drawing, in my house and in the presence of twenty witnesses of the portrait of a young woman who had been dead for eighteen months and whom he did not know, a portrait recognized by the young woman's father present at the session.

Hello All, I have been speaking with a medium who said she has a message to give me from my mum. I don't know how she knew my mum has passed away. I am a skeptic but how can they know things about you when they haven't met you? She also said that she is an evidential medium and can give me...

The highest North American concentration of professional psychics, mediums, and spirit guides has over the past 3 decades been in Florida. By business category filings, advertising counts, and even store fronts their concentration in Florida exceeds Nevada, and since the 1990's passed...

Has anyone got any skeptical information on Alexis Didier? He was alleged to have been one of the greatest clairvoyant's from France.

What is the best information on the origin of seances? Did these predate the time of the Fox sisters? I understand that Cagliostro may have presided over some but so much relating to him is controversial. Thoughts?

Eric Dingwall a well known psychical researcher is usually portrayed as a skeptic when it came to the paranormal. However, Arthur Conan Doyle argued that Dingwall was a secret believer in the paranormal, but he pretended to be skeptical to colleagues at meetings. I would have to partly agree...

I find Madame Blavatsky to be a fascinating personality whose inventions are still very much with us today. I'm intrigued as to how she developed her "ascended masters" concept. Any thoughts?

Just spotted this story today, why we should be worried about things like this should be obvious: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-psychologist-suspended-medium-1.3821754 The above took place in 2012 and it was not the only patient this individual told that they should see if...

Good afternoon. I've been invited to attend a party where a "psychic medium healer" will be offering private readings. The medium, so i've been told is a studen of Edgar Casey's A.R.E. The person hosting this party is a very good friend who loves the more spiritual and mystical things in life...

From the Bangor Daily News at http://bangordailynews.com/2014/11/11/living/fort-kent-native-north-shore-medium-bringing-messages-from-the-other-side/print/ And, by the way, they seem to be deleting comments which criticize the fact that by uncritically writing this article they are...

http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2014/04/metro_detroit_psychic_sees_dea.html Apparently the psychic pinpointed the place(and told police) where the body was eventually found by police years later.Opinions? A bit more interesting than just the standard "a railway line near water" fare.

I have been listening to Darkness Radio for sometime and I enjoy the total banality and how Dave Schrader allows the guests to babble on making fools of themselves, however, I was listening to the show from 7th August 2014 in which Mark Anthony, a psychic lawyer, gets in touch with dead people...

On another forum I post on a member has claimed psychic,mediumship abilities and is able to create spirit drawings! She has agreed to a test by me so whats a good simple one.Obviously if she read me Id be able to stop any cold reading but what about double blind and spirit drawings test? I plan...

I like this article for the reasons stated by the author. I'm not certain how often the same occurs here but it does happen. What say you?

Similar to my long thread which exposes the tricks of the medium Daniel Dunglas Home on this thread I will be documenting the fraud and tricks of the medium Leonora Piper. Before I start the criticism of Piper and an exposure of her mediumship I would be interested in knowing what peoples...

In the "Isn't it Ironic" Department: In a commercial for the upcoming episode of "Long Island Medium". Theresa Caputo says that she loves her father, but that he is sometimes "a little gullible".

I am sure most of you know who Victor Zammit is. But if you don't here is his website: http://www.victorzammit.com/ He is a fundamentalist spiritualist and his website claims scientific "objective" evidence has proven the afterlife and that skeptics deny, ignore and supress the evidence. He...
