thought you might be interested in this message I just received from a friend

I just appeared on a BBC programme - Inside Out North East - where we debunked a psychic. It might still be on iplayer, it was just a couple of weeks ago. We followed this guy around for months, secretley filmed and recorded him. He did the same stuff every show, had people crying, upset and distraught on occasions. He was despicable.

Is a short account of him.

Theres no such thing s a psychic, never in the history of the world has one been able to perform under controlled conditions. Its just a huge con. Some people probably believe they are real, but when they get tested they arent.

and following on from the above

It was interesting doing the covert stuff, we had a team of professionals acting as the plants in the audience. They all had cover stories and he gave one of them a reading about a non existent boyfriend who had died in a car crash. He refused to be interviewed and ran away when we tried to confront him lol. I was interviewed on camera and analysed his performance.

What you can say is that they are all obliged by law to state that their services are for entertainment only.

Go to a show be the first to put your hand up and take the message ,play along with all that you are told and agree ,,,,,,,then draw your own conclusion,


You will be asking for your money back and making a sandwich board protesting at their next show with --FRAUDESTER written on it.

Derek Acorah got proved to be a fraud on tv,,,,,he fell hook line and sinker for the plot,---------his lack of being able to speak Dutch without a scouce accent as he was taken over by the Dutchman's spirit was rib cracking.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Personally, I think its a load of old Twaddle,But thats my opinion, If other people wish to believe it, and it some how brings them comfort and meybe a little peace of mind, So be it, :-D :-D

There is a spiritualist church near us which we used to go on a regular basis, havent the time to go as much now, but the proof I got from different mediums was unbelievable, things I had never told anyone, that no one could have known. Also had proof myself, smelt the perfume of my gran, heard my grandad`s voice as though he was in the room, had the feeling of someone putting their arms around me. (Thought it was my little boy who was about 2 at the time, but when I turned round he was sat too far away for it to have been him). When I went to the church that week, the medium outlined what had happened and said it was my gran. She wouldnt have known cos I hadnt told anyone!

No disrespect to non believers, (OH is one of them) but I would certainly like to think there is something there and we will see our loved ones again and everyone believes what they believe.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year to everyone x
