This famous medium is now on Dr. Phil, along with people from Ghost Whisperer. James is reading, so thought anyone interested might want to tune in...JN

I have never liked him . he leads too much plus inserts his own religious views in his readings. I do like George Anderson a bit , .

I havent seen him that often. The show is pretty good cause its not just about him, but all about ghosts, spirits, and average people, with paranormal problems...JN

Dr. said he is an "open minded skeptic." James sort of read Phil and said his Dad is coming thru and he has very big hands, and he is SO sorry, and proud of him." Phil came back saying that "I am 6-4 and have big hands, and I am sure he is proud." Plus everyone knows Dr Phil had an alcoholic father, so he didnt really convince him. It was sort of funny actually. I dont like it, when a medium asks "Do you have a brother?" Or something like that, it seems to me he needs validation before he continues. I wasnt that impressed either to be honest..JN

Parts were interesting, because John is a constultant for the show "Ghost Whisperer" which I never watched, but they discussed strange happenings on the set, and Jennifer Love Hewiit came on as well..Then there was a nice older lady who is a Registered Nurse and actually had to quit her job due to the fact a child spirit was with her constantly and making her life miserable. James didnt see a child but another male who is angry he got shot (brother in law) or something like that, so he feels HE is the one haunting her, and James said he will counsel her after the show privately. Then another woman who cannot make a decision without calling a psychic. She has spent thousands of dollars and her son was quite upset, so they chatted with her..All and all it wasnt bad, just not great. He did cold read a young lady in the audience whose best friend had died in a motorcycle accident, and only cause he mentioned it and she raised her hand..He mentioned music, and they do sing and play so that was correct, and a leather coat the boys mother has etc..But he would ask her questions too. Again, not impressed with that..JN

Thing is, I could read Dr Phil, anyone could because you can find out a lot about him before hand.

It's like Most Haunted Live... for example, the mediums know they're on their way to Pendle, (we all do, cause it's been advertised on the telly for weeks), you're just waiting for one of them, in this case Derek Accorah, to say "I'm seeing witches.... Dev... Dev... DEVICE, the old woman Device isn't happy". rolleyes.gif

I think Dr. Phil is a fruit! LOL

Derek was fired, but they're still doing Most Haunted Live, though I don't watch it anymore. Thing is though, if they're advertising where they're going to the whole of the country, what's to stop the mediums researching where they're going? It's the same as James Van Praagh being on Dr Phil.

Derek at Pendle really, really was eye rolling TV.

I dont think John is one to go to haunted dwellings, he is more of a showman, and money kinda medium. I am happy Derek was fired, and I love David Wells..Last I watched they were all reruns..ugh..JN

I have to say David Wells was caught cheating on camera, I think it's on youtube somewhere, but he's at a seance and he's stroking someones hand saying "he wants to touch you" or something like that. disgust.gif

I think James does pretty well with his books not to have to visit people's houses. LOL Although he was on Worlds Scariest Ghosts Caught on Camera at that little boys' house.

Its really hard to tell, who is that good and who isnt..I happen to really like David Wells. I do know John writes alot of books, and goes to speaking engagements and so on. I like David cause he doesnt seem to make things up, like Derek, nor does he get "possessed." I really used to enjoy Lisa Williams when she was on Lifetime, but they cancelled that too...I never heard of the haunting at the little boys house, was it skeery? LOL...JN
