Although I have been a professional medium for over 25 years, I would be the first to admit that the mediumistic process is unreliable and extremely inconsistent. It can be quite daunting for anyone consulting a medium for the first time, but for someone expecting to receive communication from a deceased relative or friend, the whole process can prove to be quite disappointing. The majority of people who consult mediums do tend to have misconceptions about what a medium actually is, let alone what a medium is capable of doing. Those who are not familiar with the mediumistic process often wrongly assume that mediums have the ability to ‘call’ back anyone they choose, and that the so called ‘dead’ are somehow floating round in the ether until called upon by the medium. Regardless of how accurate the medium is, he or she cannot guarantee results. Why then do you suppose that some mediums claim to receive communication with the spirits of ‘dead’ celebrities such as John Lennon or even Diana Princess of Wales? One medium even claimed to have made contact with Mary Queen of Scots, and this was on a popular television programme. It is sad that an awful lot of people watching these programmes believe everything they see. A Liverpool medium appeared on an American television programme claiming to have received communication from John Lennon. Is this wishful thinking, or simply a case of 'I WANT TO BE FAMOUS?' Little wonder that I receive anonymous emails asking me why I don't use my alleged psychic abilities to find a certain missing child, or even to bring unsolved crimes to a conclusion. I don't know who is more pitiful, the writers of these emails, or mediums who claim to be in touch with the spirit of John Lennon. I do apologise for being so sarcastically cynical, but you have most probably guessed that I am one disillusioned medium. .
