I have always had some interest in people like John Edward, Sylvia Browne, and James Van Praagh, to name a few of the most notable "mediums." However, the more I learn of these people the less respect I have for them. I went to Sylvia Browne's website and I ordered the free sample of her quarterly newsletter thinking it may be worth reading. How wrong I was. There was just a few lousy pages with one worthlesss article, a seminar schedule, info about trips/cruises she organizes, and info about ordering her book/audio products. The newsletter costs $29.95 per year. John Edward has a similar newsletter for about the same price. I have never been impressed with them when I have seen them on shows like Larry King(especially John Edward.) I lean toward believing that these mediums are complete frauds and/or at the least are greedy, grabbing hands who are concerned with little more than making money. These mediums usually charge around $750 for a 30 minute reading which very few people can afford. As much as I would like to believe that there are people who can make contact with the spirit world, these shady figures make it difficult to believe.
