More than 16 million people want to know, Is it real?
You bet it is!
Every Monday night, millions of Americans tune in to Medium; the NBC hit show running in its second season. The drama features a fictional character based on the real life of Allison DuBois, a woman who lives in Phoenix with her aerospace engineer husband and three young daughters, and helps police solve baffling crimes through her ability to communicate with the dead.
The Truth about Medium by Gary Schwartz, Ph.D. with William L. Simon. paints a remarkable portrait of this astonishing woman, and tells about the scientific experiments conducted with her at the University of Arizona by Harvard-trained psychologist Schwartz.
At age thirty Allison was planning on going to law school when she told Gary Schwartz that like the little boy in the Bruce Willis movie Sixth Sense, she could actually see and communicate with dead people! She wondered if she could better serve the process of prosecuting criminals and putting them behind bars — and even making sure they receive the death penalty— if she offered her psychic gifts to support the work of the police and prosecutors.
Among her fellow psychics — many of whom are introduced in this book — Allison is considered especially talented. The Truth about Medium chronicles many of her most impressive experiments demonstrating her abilities. Whether readers are true believers or hardened skeptics, fans of the show, or just someone who wants to know if psychic abilities are possible, this book offers solid evidence that psychic ability, mediumship, and communication with the dead actually exist. Schwartz’s and Simon’s previously co-authored book the Afterlife Experiments has sold over 60,000 copies, and this book promises to be just as popular, with chapters featuring the late Princess Diana and Deepak Chopra.
