The Long Island Medium: Are you reading cold or REALLY speaking with the spirit?

Does Theresa Caputo really talk to spirits?

Is she the genuine article … or is she just doing cold reading tricks that naive people believe, simply because they WANT to believe? What do REAL scientists say about psychics and mediums, and people who claim to communicate with the spirits on the other side? Is it all new age nonsense, or is there real science supporting the idea that the afterlife is real, and that we all go there after THIS life is over?

The truth is, we get a lot of questions about famous psychic mediums like Theresa Caputo, John Edward, George Anderson, Kim Russo, and others of similar stature.

Some interesting facts about Theresa Caputo:

Long before becoming a household name, he built a reputation in New York by doing live (and often free) readings on the radio for the well-known bereavement organization called “The Forever Family Foundation,” a non-profit organization. dedicated to helping bereaved families overcome loss.

And while it’s certainly not always 100% accurate, long before the TV show, it had stumped skeptics and would-listen scientists … hoping to uncover some kind of hoax, fraud, or common cold-reading technique.

The funny thing is, while listening to her years ago, before she was a well-known celebrity, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the incredible amount of super-specific information that used to come through during her live readings with strangers. .making it very difficult to explain as fraud, forgery, or good guesses.

(and to be totally honest with you, very often … MUCH more evidential and interesting than the things that appear on television)

So what about the skeptics and cynics and those who discredit ALL psychic phenomena?

Honestly? You are wrong. (and I know … how I used to be one of them!)

The truth is, EVERY psychic, clairvoyant, or medium has to live on their own merits and their own readings … the fact is, while skeptics like to argue that everyone is doing cold reading tricks, In almost EVERY case, those same skeptics can’t do the same things they say are so EASY on psychics.

In other words … you will see a famous skeptical claim that the medium is simply doing “cold reading” … and that it is very easy to do, and it is just a guessing game.

Later –

When they are actually asked to DUPLICATE or replicate the results that the mediums get, in front of the same audience, or for a test of similar scientific precision … they fail to come close to the results that the mediums received (and these are objectively measured results). both believers and skeptics, and agreed upon before these tests are performed).

For examples of this?

See Dr. Gary Schwartz’s work with mediums such as John Edward, George Anderson, and others at the University of Arizona. (which later became part of the HBO documentary on life after death … and the book “The Afterlife Experiments”)

Or the Windbridge Institute’s work on the same topics, right now in 2013.

Or the University of Virginia work on psychic mediums and the precision of what emerges during psychic sessions.

The truth is that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support the idea that psychic mediums are genuine. Not all of those. And certainly some are superior to others. But dismissing the idea that some psychics or mediums are getting accurate information from a source we don’t yet understand … be it from SPIRIT or somewhere else, is downright misleading! (because they ARE … and no matter how loud the skeptics and debunkers may be, the facts are the facts)

The only way YOU are going to know for sure?

Get a reading. However, explore with an open mind. Embrace the magic … and enjoy the mystery of it all.
