I don't watch things like that, I think they are rubbish, comercialised garbage. Sometimes I'll watch "Most Hanuted Live" for the entertainment value more than anything else. I'm not saying mediums or whatever are all fake, I just think you need to be VERY careful who you believe and listen to. I have had a little experience with ouija and seances before but in the ouija I think the glass was being purposefully moved and the seance, well, that was very strange, unexplainable. I'm sorry for your loss.

I watch it sometimes. I dunno what to think....at times I think he's guessing then sometimes he hits the nail on the head. One thing I am suspicious about is the fact that he talks constantly. If he was listening to the spirit world I don't know how he hears anything as he never appears to be listening.
On the Sixth Sense with Colin Fry....same thing - he can be great sometimes and others he says stuff that's very general...though he does take moments to 'listen'. The worst of them has to be Derek Acorah...I've watched a couple of his shows and I thought he was dreadful. No names or anything specific....just general stuff. I saw Tony Stockwell in one of those shows once. He was brilliant....My oh thinks the people in the audience are questioned by researchers before the show to suss out things.
I saw Gordon Smith in a BBC documentary which was investigating different psychics, he was far and away the best of any featured in the programe...unbelieveable.
I'd recommend Doris Stokes' autobiographies. She's dead now I think but she was well famous, helped the police out in some of their cases too. I read somewhere that it's best to wait a year after a person has passed to try to contact them as it's difficult for them to come across when they're only newly in the spirit world.
I went to a medium a few years ago. I wasn't impressed with her, felt she was trying to read me, though my sister went to her and thought she was brilliant.

I think there is something to the whole idea of psychics, how many of them are for real and how many of them are faking it by cold reading is another thing. If you watch Psych or The Mentalist, you'll see how "easy" it is to fake it, and cold reading in a room full of people is ridiculously easy, everyone there has "lost" a loved one recently, and names are easy to 'guess' "I'm getting a J name ... ? a male who was very close to you?" someone in the audience is bound to know a man called John, Jack, James ...

I'd be way more impressed if they were able to say "is there a Lobelia in the audience?" (given that you've not given them you name or details on the way in the door) and then tell me "your cousin Obediah wants to tell you that blue necklace you can't find is down the back of the chair with the red cushion on it"

I've never heard of anyone being that precise ...
