People who exploit people's grief, hopes, religion and fear are among the ppl I loathe the most. 100% of it can be explained scientifically.....through psychology, cold and hot reading as well as other methods. And these days with the internet or cheap P.I.'s, it's so much easier for these "mediums" to get extra info to fish with.
Sure it may leave you walking away feeling better, thinking you connected with someone who's passed..... but that doesn't change the fact that it's a scam. These bastards get rich off of people who are feeling weak and are looking for someone to turn to in their time of need. Instead of dealing with their issues and grief, they are handed a big steaming pile of bullshit...which might make them feel a bit better at the time, but it's essentially a band-aid solution that only masks the problem. Those issues with grief and fear are going to recur....and then it's time to go back to the fraud.
Magicians and illusionists like Penn and Teller, Copperfield or any other famous magic act never claim to actually have supernatural powers. And that's because they feel it's immoral to do so. A magician or mentalist could do the exact same thing a psychic does, except they won't bullshit you and tell you it's real. Psychics just further the issues of denial and grief...and then they prey on the knowledge that person or their friends will come back.
Some may say it's harmless or fun. Personally, I think it's time our society outgrows this primitive nonsense.

(she looked two parents in the eyes on Montel once and told them their child was dead and even said where to look...they then found the kid alive and well, being kept by some sick f***)
