I’ll say this, if it’s not a setup, with plants in the audience, this is incredibly impressive. No, probing questions, she just nails it every time.

I read a fascinating book some years ago on ‘cold reading’. Of course that’s without being able to check someone’s social media etc these days. So I think I can safely say we do know!Long Island Medium- My wife watches this a lot and I catch it. The latest show, she went on tour.

Perhaps psi ability is a quantum effect where distance does not matter. Similar to particle entanglement. These entangled particles read each other’s state instantaneously regardless of distance.This quantum effect is definitely part of laws of physics. No one has established what carrys the particle state information. However repeated experimental results show the effect is real.
I believe it would have to be plants in the audience, because the lady goes to a specific area of the crowd, mentions something very specific, then when the individual identifies themself, she mentions something even more specific. Not asking questions, but addressing details exactly, confirmed by the people. These people don’t give first and last names, so researches would have a hard time identifying all the personal details of someone’s death by means of the Internet.
That is a good point, but the counter is, if you believe in souls or are open to the concept, you already believe in the possibility of unknown mechanisms, and I can guarantee there are unknown mechanisms yet to be discovered! Now what is unknown, is if this is one of them.
How can particles be everywhere at once? (A quantum physics observation).

Good point about multi particle connection. Have not read much on useful applications for quantum entanglement. Physicists are still scratching their heads regarding entanglement across diameter of universe. Perhaps 4 dimensional space time is mearly a projection of 2 dimensional universe. Such that time and 3rd dimension are just illusionary.
Yes, saw it. Why you think my mind is so messed up and I wear aluminum foil lined hats.
They have answers to everything that we know as "paranormal". I'm sure they haveSince the Sylvia Browne thread is pretty active... lol.
We, my wife and I were recently on a trip to Tuscany and had two interesting things happen while there. In the hotel, we went to bed with the lights out, but I woke up in the about 1am to find both of the lights in the room turned on. My wife had not turned them on.
Later, my wife was futzing with a tie (two strings) on a blouse she was wearing where the tie has had a knot in it for the last year or so. She was verbally complaining about this knot. It was pulled so tight she could not even get her fingers on individual strings. She finally gave up, went over and sat on the bed to watch some TV as I was still getting ready so we could head out for the day. She stood up and looked in the mirror and the knot was gone and the two strings were hanging untied.
My wife is also frequently bothered by a feeling of cob webs around her face. I've looked that up and it seems some believe this is a spirit trying to get your attention, but I don't know what to make of it. I'm sure there could be some other physiological/physical reason for this, like real cob webs.
I'm not messing around with you all.
I love stories like this, waiting for the counter explanations.
My wife left a ring on her night stand, but could not find it. She looked on the nightstand, on the floor, and in the drawer of the nightstand without success. She went as far as emptying the drawer looking for it, and I inspected the same areas in the vicinity of the night stand, no luck.I love stories like this, waiting for the counter explanations.
FWIW, I am not trying to belittle @cdcastillo. I was once watching a TV advertisement – unintoxicated, fully awake – when the bloody McDonald's Hamburglar jumped out of the TV at me, causing me to fall out of my chair from the fright. Our perceptual system cannot provide a perfect account of reality all of the time, and occasionally there are glitches.
As always the bottom line is the authenticity of the story.Sudden loss of sensory input (taking glasses off) results in a sate in which internal processing might be mistaken for actual perception (not quite day dreaming but close); or simply just an error in the brain's perceptual system, which is trying to reconstruct reality from highly processed inputs; etc. The dog could be reacting to the stress/fear of its owners, who remember the incident and find it unsettling when they're in the room.
Now, if @cdcastillo's wife also saw or felt something, then perhaps things would be more compelling.
I once woke up but could not move, and I simultaneously felt an evil or malevolent presence. I don't believe in ghosts, but the most accurate way that I can convey to others how it felt is to say that I was pinned down by an evil ghost. I am guessing that it lasted about 30 seconds.
Yes I am 100% sure that I was awake and that I was not dreaming.
Anyway, a quick Google search later and it turns out that this is a relatively rare but fairly normal occurrence called sleep paralysis. Basically the body and the mind normally sleep or wake up somewhat simultaneously, but in this case the mind woke up before the body so I couldn't move but I was fully conscience (and really damn scared).
The article states that the feeling of an evil presence is normal with sleep paralysis. Strange stuff.
I am fortunate enough to live in a time with easy access to a simple explanation via Google. I feel bad for people experiencing this in earlier periods of human history. It's quite a bad feeling--I'm sure it's part of human superstition and wouldn't be surprised if it led to panic, witch hunts, and the like.
I’ve never experienced that, but I have no reason to disbelieve.
I get it now and then. Including two days ago.

The first one is a reported hoax: https://ew.com/article/2013/05/28/mermaids-animal-planet-ratings/
I’m open minded about such claims, but acknowledge that without seeing it for myself, it remains unverified. Do you care to share?
