I'm relatively new to the world of skepticism*and I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good book about debunking psychics. I've been hunting on my own and I've found things that address that alongside other issues, but is there a good book that focuses on demonstrating why they're all...

My local bookstore is hosting psychic medium Rebecca Rosen on Thursday, February 4, 2010. Last time they hosted a psychic medium, Kochanski and I went to the James Van Praagh lecture/book signing. It was fun, and I got some decent video. If you're interested in joining me, post a comment here...

On Channel 4 UK now so later on +1 and maybe 4 on demand. "Unprecedented access to a London spiritualist church to discover how belief in the afterlife has transformed people's lives."

Thank goodness oemone has manged to find enough genuine ones to compile a list, maybe someone could do a mass mail invite for MDC. :p http://www.bestpsychicmediums.com/contact.htm http://www.bestpsychicmediums.com/thelist.htm Incidentally this comes from this thread...

Did any of the kiwis see that item on "Close Up" this evening about the "world's greatest medium"? I only caught the tail end of the article - but he seemed to be claiming that he was authentic, everyone else who claimed paranormal abilities was a charlatan and the chick from the local skeptics...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1192159/Lovesick-chef-loses-12-000-psychic-medium-sees-fraud-trial-coming-flees-country.html One of Psychic Tv's approved mediums apparently.:rolleyes:

Saw this in my local paper, I'm assuming it's a misprint. I have emailed him to further assist if not. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v194/Paparazzi/holbrook.jpg Eta: Highlighting mine.

London's Daily Mail reported in March that among the recession- themed business-start-up grants awarded by the Welsh Department of Work and Pensions was the equivalent of about $6,600 to the Accolade Academy of Psychic and Mediumistic Studies. One of the Academy's owners defended the award...

Here's some good news, nearly a year old, but I missed it the first time: Psychic crackdown on the cards. (The Observer, Sunday 6 April 2008) So, assuming the laws were brought in, does anyone know of any psychics who have actually been sued by sceptics? :) Or is that ever likely to happen...

I don't think it's people's fault that they are taken in by these swindlers. It's not a sign of stupidity, right? It's just that the fakes are very convincing. http://digg.com/general_sciences/Being_gullible_doesn_t_make_you_stupid

NEW SKEPTICAL WEBSITE ABOUT PARANORMAL STATE: paranormalstateillustrated.com YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED I hope you will visit my new, skeptical Website about the A&E TV series Paranormal State which airs in the United States. I would like your feedback as to the design and content of my...

I briefly watched John Edward for the first time on TV last night. I say "briefly" because even if I wasn't anti-mediums the trailer I kept seeing, to me, showed him as the most obnoxious of "entertainers". That smug, condescending face he makes when his "victim" suddenly recalls a detail that...

I haven't read the whole thing, but so far, it has a fairly skeptical tone, including the title: There's No Good Proof the Real "Medium" Allison Dubois Has Ever Cracked a Case But Her Fans Don't Care

So I just saw the video referenced in this week's Swift, where Randi challenges us to put on our deerstalker caps and find the methods the medium is using to do his reading. Obviously, there was some cold reading involved, and, I suspect, hot reading (is that the right term?) Were there...

Caught this programme http://www.psychicprivateeyes.tv/special.php How absolutely deplorable.To watch that snivelling creep Fry claim to have assisted in nailing the killer.I have contacted programme makers via website. If it's repeated I'll record it and upload it.:mad:

This thread was supposed to be about alleged cases of reincarnation as put forth by Ian Stevenson. It became, partly due to me, a discussion about the Watseka Wonder. Rodney claims that my minimalized debunking (copied from my post on another forum) were both inaccurate and unsubstantiated...

I just wanted to share something that has been bothering me a bit since December. I am relatively new to the forums, only recently posting here, but lurking on-and-off for about a year. I am a logical, rational person. That being said, I am tolerant of other peoples' beliefs in the paranormal...

http://www.destinycalls.co.uk/ I assume no-one outside UK knows of her but to me this is disgraceful venture. Well known UK TV presenter and 60's popstar is endorsing psychics and psychic phonelines!!! After one psychic gave her"information they couldn't possibly know" :rolleyes: I will be...

Anyone heard of this woman? I got a mailshot from a company (UK) I bought some kitchenware from a while ago with an insert (scanned here). A quick google shows she's actively known as a scammer in Australia: http://www.docep.wa.gov.au/consumerprotection/scamnet/Scams/Maria_Callas.html As well as...

Hullo! I am currently reading through the article Results of the Application of the Robertson - Roy Protocol to a series of experiments with Mediums and Participants from the JSPR volume 68. Has anyone critiqued this paper or found methodological flaws to date? This was the third version of...

Home (Hume) is today known as the only "undebunked" medium, who supposedly carried out feats that could not be reproduced by illusionists, or at least, he was able to keep his methods secret and prevent sceptics from exposing him. I've read in two places online (Home's entry here on JREF and a...

He's the latest Tony Stockwell/Shirley Ghostman-esque camp psychic from these shores, and he has a little interview in the Metro free paper which you can read below; http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/interviews/article.html?in_article_id=81020&in_page_id=11 He seems to be distancing himself from the...

You'll need a strong stomach for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qIHnDHnkrE&eurl=http://moh2005.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=medpsy&action=display&thread=1197676141 Sibley is using murdered children to gather support for a 'Support Honest Mediums' Petition. I have no doubt that...
