Could someone please tell me whats the difference between a psychic and a medium? as they all seem to offer all services. Theres alot of adverts in the back of various magazines claiming they get messages from your dead family members, is this stuff real or are they all just frauds praying on vunerable people?
Also is there any cases on stephen holbrook being a fraud? Because he obviously gets some things right which nobody would know.
Finally does anyone know of a Jane Jackson from UK, with Holbrook they are offering a caribbean cruise next year where they will be doing there medium stuff.

Hi Rob, I think the easy way to break it down would be this: Psychic - pertaining to mental forces, telepathy, extra sensory perception Medium - contacting and being able to communicate with spirits of the dead Clairvoyance - the ability to see things beyond our normal senses Although no doubt the 'Mediums' or 'Psychics' would say its much more complicated than that. There is a piece on the main site about Holbrook which you may find interesting. badpsychics.com/thefraudfiles/modules/news/article.php?storyid=71As far as Jane Jackson goes, Ive not heard of her, but I'll have a look. Welcome to the forum.

A psychic apparently picks up the information from the person being read, a medium talks to the dead. But most people use Psychic as a catch all term They are ALL frauds. We have a bit about him on the site badpsychics.com/thefraudfiles/search.php?query=Holbrook&mid=2&action=showall&andor=ANDIts called cold reading, he cheats It is purely a gimmick, i would advis epeople to save their money

That depends on who you ask! You've certainly come to the right place for the information to make your own mind up about them though.

The reason I still have a slight belief is beacause my mother went to a medium last night and she supposedly gave her messages from the family members who are dead, the one from her Dad stated his name and back when he was young was in a concetration camp and again she supposedly knew about this a gave a message as if it was coming from him, now I am Skeptical on the psychics/mediums but how would she know this she also got other people who she knew, However it was not recorded nor was I there so I just going on what was told to me and again the Medium supposedly talked about me stating a problem that I have at the moment. So this is where I wonder because this was quite specific and worries me if this person does have some ability.

Jane Jackson is a spiritual medium, aged 42 from castleford, west yorkshire. Yes it says she once waved to basil brush and that people are gullible. Im starting to not like her angle here, bit ghoulish

It really is difficult to judge the quality of the reading without actually being there, or seeing a transcript of the reading. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing how much information your Mother actually gave the medium at the time, subconsciously or otherwise. Unfortunately when a sitter has a reading, they tend to remember only the 'hits' not the things that they got wrong. You say she got a message from her Dad, this is where a transcript would be useful, we don't know if the Medium asked if her Father had died, followed by other questions or if they said "I have your Dad with me, his message to you is...." if you see what I mean. For example: Medium: I have a Father figure with me.Sitter: That'll be my Dad(The sitter gives the information to the medium, if the sitters Father is alive, the Medium will no doubt say its the Grandfather, they said Father 'figure') Medium: Thats right I have your Father with me.(They didnt say that initially, they are working with the information given to them by the sitter) We also dont know if the Medium told your Mother that her Father was in a Concentration Camp, or whether they 'fished' for the information, and then used that information to 'manufacture' a message she would understand.

Its not only difficult, its bloody impossible, I cant find any contact details for her at all! Obviously her 3 years worth of bookings have come from fellow Woo members who contacted her telepathically.....
