Despite what crusading magicians think, the studies into mediumship are looking quite promising:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar......0600454X

“The results suggest that certain mediums can anomalously receive accurate information about deceased individuals. The study design effectively eliminates conventional mechanisms as well as telepathy as explanations for the information reception, but the results cannot distinguish among alternative paranormal hypotheses, such as survival of consciousness (the continued existence, separate from the body, of an individual’s consciousness or personality after physical death) and super-psi (or super-ESP; retrieval of information via a psychic channel or quantum field).”

That link, it's 13 years old and it's such a tiny sample...and they didn't blind test it with non-mediums giving information either...

I know we all look for evidence to support our own beliefs and bias, me included...but link-wars rarely get anywhere...

and we all succumb to cognitive dissonance when something doesn't compute....

1. The results don't degrade over time
2. The sample size is large enough to uncover results that are of statistical significance
3. The protocol already has blindness built into it - in many ways.

This is also a fun read if you have a few mins; a critical response to two sceptics from the national enquirer (Randi's magazine I think) when they try to claim all the psi research is hogwash:
