Ivory, I agree with Liza --- I have never come across anything I could consider to be genuine with regard to mediums and seances, and too many examples where it has been clear explotative fraud. I find it highly irresponsible of the TV channels to publicise dubious seance-type TV shows, with false claims about getting "in touch" with departed people, as if by eeee-mail. There's loads of evidence about how such fake seances can give a powerful impression of special contact and knowledge by trickery. No evidence that it is ever genuine.
