Psychic Mediumship
In the psychic community, mediumship is the most feared and least understood. That’s because psychic phenomena can’t be approached through intellect. Even in today’s enlightened society, skeptics analyze mediums as sitting in a dark room, watching tables rise from the floor, accompanied by woo-woo sounds.
So, what is psychic mediumship?
Like clairvoyance, clairsentience, etc. mediumship is a spiritual gift. Most mediums are born with genetic psychic abilities. This gift ‘awakens’ in others, as small children. It can be a difficult life for kids who talk to spirits, when they grow-up in a strict religious environment.
The gift of mediumship grants the psychic permission and abilities to dialogue with spirits who have

Martin luther king jr used mediums in his speech when he was saying that he want to change the America and stuff. He wanted to do something to help change people’s view on other races. He he made a speech to get people to join him in a non-violent strike. Medium is means of something so his speech helped him do what he want to do so really his whole speech was a medium (unless I thinking of a different medium or have the wrong definition). So if we're talking about the same medium his entire speech was a Medium. Like when he was talking about how they cannot be satisfied as long as a negro can’t vote in mississippi he was trying to influence them to help fight for their rights he was giving them a reason to help.

When first introduced to Tossie, one learns that she is a firm believer in Spiritualism, which is a religious movement where the core belief is that spirits of the deceased can be contacted directly by living people (Rutter). Tossie informs Ned that the previous day, the spirits had rapped out “beware” and “the letter C” during a séance with Madame Iritosky, which led her mother to conclude that something awful had happened to Princess Arjumand (Willis 98). Madame Iritosky indoctrinates Mrs. Mering and Tossie with her Spiritualist ideals, informing them that “spirits often hover near [a] portal” which is the reason she cannot leave her home to perform seances (108). When Ned and the others finally make it to the Merings’ home, they burst in on a séance which leads to Mrs. Mering fainting. She is overcome with emotion at the sight of “the spirits” who were “draped…in seaweed” and “shining with an ethereal light” (178). Mrs. Mering assigns every strange thing that happens a reason that is ultimately related to Spiritualism. Cyril’s snoring is the “ethereal moan” of the spirits, she has premonition upon premonition that presumably predict the death of Professor Peddick, and we later learn that every prediction made under the guise of Spiritism is false (246). The skepticism revolving around Spiritualism is mirrored by the reactions given by Verity and Ned to Madame Iritosky. When Madame Iritosky and Count de Vecchio arrive at the Merings’ house due to “a message from the Other Side,” Ned and Verity discuss Madame Iritosky’s validity (288). Verity informs Ned that mediums “collect information to convince the gullible” which is a sign that people in the future have found ways to think critically about what they observe (292). Verity and Ned have different ways of
Joshua Nealy, a prominent medical school graduate, died last night from complications of losing his dream of becoming a practicing physician. He was 39 years old. Soft-spoken and borderline obsessive, Joshua never looked the part of a “professional”, but, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the last three years of pursuit of his long reputed dream profession, a position, which he spent nearly 10 years attaining. Sadly, the protracted search ended this past March 18th in complete and utter failure.
Lisa as a young teen begins to manage her special gift to connect with spirits by progressing from the motivation her grandmother gave her to grasp a stronger understanding of what she spiritually obtains. Lisa’s grandmother encourages her to learn about the spirit world and the consequences that follow, to make sure her mistakes don’t mislead her, “Never trust the spirit world too much. They think much differently from the living.”(Robinson, 153). Ma ma oo (Lisa’s grandmother) ensures that Lisa is provided with the knowledge of the supernatural world at her current age so she will be prepared for the future and along with that she wants her to being to learn about herself through these teachings and develop from them. Considering that the bond between Lisamarie and her grandmother is already well established it makes the understanding and communication of the spirit world more interesting for her. Overtime Lisa becomes curious about her gift of connecting with spirits, “What do spirits look like?”...

The field of paranormal activity is amazing. It has caught the imagination of people from every walk of life. It has always interested me and has influenced me to pick this as the topic for my research. Through this research, I wish to uncover the truth about the existence of ghosts. I also wish to correct the wrong notions that people have about ghosts and enlighten non-believers.
Before anyone can form a solid opinion on what they believe to be real or not real, it is imperative that he/she becomes knowledgeable on the many different types of psychic abilities. The most general terms include ESP, clairaudient, clairvoyance, and clairsentient. ESP, or Extra Sensory Projection, is the awareness of events and information that are external to the psychic and that are gained through senses. Being clairaudient means that a person has the ability to hear beyond the physical hearing, such as music, voices, and various sounds. Being clairsentient means that a person has the ability to feel or sense beyond physical touch. This includes gaining information through heightened senses, intuition, or "gut feelings". Clairvoyance is having the ability to see beyond just the physical sight. This could be in the form of telepathy or precognition. The psychic may receive information from symbols, pictures that just appear in the mind, or overlays (seeing the past and present at the same time). A common way for clairvoyance to be seen is through telepathy. Telepathy is the ability to hear another person's thoughts, ideas, etc. A person with this capabi...
Spirituality can be defined as ‘‘ways of relating to the sacred’’ (Shults and Sandage 2006, p. 161) that involve the experience of significance (Zinnbauer and Pargament 2005)”. (Jankowski and Vaughn, 2009, p.82).
This is the downfall of all known and described investigation into the existence of ESP. Research in this area has been characterized by incompetence, deception and fraud. When properly controlled experiments are done they have usually yielded negative results, have been unable to demonstrate a single clear case of psychic power or paranormal phenomena (wheel.ucdavis.edu). Experimentation following the believer method but performed by nonbelieving investigators has consistently come up with negative results that have been criticized by the believing side and vice versa (wheel.ucdavis.edu). Most of the research into the existence of parapsychological phenomena has had the effect of proving nothing verifiable, giving the two sides fresh facts and information with which to attack each other (wheel.
