Does Theresa Caputo really talk to spirits?
Is she the genuine article…or is she just pulling cold reading tricks that gullible people believe, simply because they WANT to believe? What do REAL scientists say about psychics and mediums, and people who pretend to communicate with spirits on the other side? Is this all new age hogwash, or is there actual science that supports the idea that the afterlife is real, and that we will 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 he was a household name, he earned a reputation in New York doing live (and often free) readings on the radio for the well-known grievance organization 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 scientists who would listen… in the hope of spotting some sort 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 blown away by the incredible amount of super-specific information that often surfaced during her live readings with complete strangers. .making it very difficult to explain away as fraud, forgery, or good guesswork.
(and to be totally honest with you, very often… MUCH more obvious and interesting than the stuff on TV)
So what about the skeptics and cynics and those who discredit ALL psychic phenomena?
Honestly? You are wrong. (and I know… since he 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 pulling cold reading tricks, In most of the cases. , those same skeptics cannot do the same things that they claim are so EASY for psychics to do.
In other words… you’ll see a famous skeptical claim that the outlet is just doing “cold reading”… and that it’s very easy to do, and it’s just a guessing game.
After-
When actually asked to DUPLICATE or reproduce the results the mediums get, in front of the same audience, or for a similar test of scientific accuracy…they fail to come anywhere CLOSE to the results the mediums received (and these are objectively measured results of believers and skeptics alike, and agreed to before these tests are conducted).
For examples of this?
See Dr. Gary Schwartz’s work with mediums like John Edward, George Anderson and others at the University of Arizona. (which later became part of the HBO documentary on the afterlife… and book, “The Afterlife Experiments”)
Or the Windbridge Institute’s work on the same topics, right now in 2013.
Or the work from the University of Virginia on psychic media and the precision of what comes up during psychic sessions.
The truth is that there is an OVERWHELMING amount of evidence supporting the idea that psychic mediums are genuine. Not all of those. And certainly some are superior to others. But to dismiss the idea that some psychics or mediums get accurate information from a source we don’t yet understand…whether from SPIRIT or somewhere else, is completely misleading! (because they ARE… and no matter how loud the skeptics and naysayers are, facts are facts)
The only way YOU will know for sure?
Get a reading. But, she explores with an open mind. She embraces the magic…and enjoys the mystery of it all.
