Brad Bynum a writer for the NewsReview.com has written a terrific article about his recent experience with Psychic Medium Vickie Gay.

I’m an apparition agnostic. I’ve never seen a ghost or conversed with a dead relative, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility. And I certainly would never scoff at a believer—because whether or not the belief is true, the belief is real. Some folks honestly believe that disembodied spirits roam the planet, and for some people, communicating with these spirits through a psychic medium is the only way to achieve closure and acceptance of the loss of a loved one.

But I remain skeptical of anyone who claims to have powers of perception that are beyond my admittedly meager understanding.

“You should be skeptical,” says Gay. “You can’t be gullible. There are good and bad psychics out there, it’s just like anything else. There are good lawyers and bad lawyers. It’s just like any other profession. … If they’re asking you a lot of questions, that should be a red flag.”

One thing you find is that some paranormal investigators and skeptics will agree upon is their doubt on the voracity of psychic mediums. Both groups can find the notion of people being “sensitive” just doesn’t pass their credibility test. Skeptics do demand scientific proof while these paranormal investigators don’t have a gizmo to measure these psychic mediums in any way.

We respect their points of view. We suggest that you read the article because it’s well-written and interesting, but do not suggest that it would sway either group.

Suzane Northrop was in Albany New York at the Holiday Inn for the weekend. Since that city is near where your favorite editor at Spectral Review resides, it was decided that he and his wife would attend one of her scheduled events.

For those that are not familiar with Suzane Northrop here is a blurb from her web site:

I am a medium working with the DPs. DPs have become a comfortable term for members of the Dead People’s Society. If this sounds like I don’t take death seriously, nothing could be further from the truth. What is true, is that I no longer question what death is or is not; rather, I deal with all the ramifications of the fact that we do not die.

What is as equally important to me as a medium is helping others validate their own connections/contact with loved ones who have passed over. Although our dreams, beyond a doubt, is the way most communication happens, contact does happen very differently for everyone. More importantly however, what I’ve come to learn is we need to believe and know without any uncertainty that we all have the right and permission (by God or a higher source) to contact or be contacted by a loved one who have passed over into the spirit world. This is the ultimate test of our faith.

We must admit we have an open mind about these things. And looked forward to experiencing the event. If you are interested you can check Suzane Northrop’s calendar to see if she is coming near your town.
