I linked to Prescott’s blog because I think he’s a thoughtful guy and a very good writer on these matters. And frankly…as ‘ghost hunters’, we encounter many people who dismiss the idea of spirits as fanciful delusion. We frequently wish that many people view the subject with an open mind and look at the evidence in its totality before arriving at a judgement. In that context, we are forced to keep an open mind on the subject of post-life communication, even if we are skeptical of most mediums’ alleged abilities.

As for ‘Crossing Over’, John Edward is an accomplished cold reader. Of this, there is no doubt. It is certainly not possible to prove that he cannot ever converse with spirits – most of what we have seen of this program (we haven’t watched it much in the last few years, although I believe it is still running) is standard issue cold reading.

I would encourage anyone interested in this subject to watch sometime the film “Hereafter”, with Matt Damon. Although it is a work of fiction and a Hollywood production, it keenly and accurately (in our view) captures the dynamic between mourning people and the practice of mediumship.

Thanks for visiting and for sharing your thoughts.
