I was watching a commercial for Ghost Whisperer which is going to be playing on the SyFy channel shortly, and one of the things they said in the commercial bothered me because it was so untrue.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character was being asked a question by someone. He asked her if she was a psychic. She told him no. She said “A psychic sees the future. I see the dead.” Well, that was partially true.
As it was explained to me quite a while ago, one has to be a psychic to be a medium. Not all psychics are mediums, but all mediums are psychics. To be able to tap into and be open to the energies of those past, one has to have psychic abilities. But not all psychics can open themselves up to this energy, only some.
Now mediums don’t see and talk with ghosts like she does. Or at least I don’t know of any that do. It does not work that way for me certainly.
So, I don’t know why this piece of fiction bothers me so much, but it does. Just feeling I need to set the truth straight.
