One of my flatmates is a guy who believes in it.

He got a "reading" the other day and came back singing it's praises.

Just to play devils advocate, Is there any scientific proof that esp, channeling the spirit and mediums are complete hogwash?

How often did you used to see the "ghost hunters" and the like on telly proving the existence of what we widely don't believe in.

I for one would love to see the scientific arguments for and against the validity of mediums and other spiritual facets.

Neither really Kev, Just before we all jumpto say what a load of bolloks it might be helpfull to hear a structured argument on the subject from both sides.

Yes let's.

Perhaps an older generation will be able to bring an interesting perspective on the subject. Was this sort of thing going on as much in the 1960s?

Do ghosts, mediums & ESP exist? Don't be silly........You been reading too many comics.

Trains exist. You can see them. Touch them. Feel them. So do mobile cranes.

Psychics, mediums and fortune tellers are all, at heart, con merchants.

You could cut fortune tellers some slack on the basis that most people who go to fortune tellers do treat it as a laugh and a bit of fun, and just want some perking up to be told the man of their dreams is just round the corner (because it is mostly women who consult fortune tellers). Mind you, there's serious money in it. Jonathan Cainer is the highest paid newspaper columnist in Britain, purely from horoscopes.

However, psychics and mediums are not just con merchants, they are dangerous. Because a large part of their act (and it is an act) revolves around 'the spirit world' (ie dead people) they attract people who are likely to have had some sort of recent experience of death, usually the death of a loved one, which is a very traumatic thing for someone to go through.

Psychics and mediums are not trained psychological counsellors and are not in a position to fully deal with the psychological trauma that bringing up memories of dead loved ones will bring to people (people who, by the very fact they are going to see a psychic/medium, may not feel emotionally strong enough to deal with things on their own).

Watch Derren Brown be a fake psychic here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G18NfN76bAs
