A medium is a person who claims to have a paranormal gift, an ability to see connections beyond accepted scientific parameters.

Some mediums offer contact with the dead through spiritualist seances, while others offer guidance with the help of Tarot cards, for instance.

Trying to contact the dead through a medium is a practice that reaches a long way back through human history. A thousand years before the birth of Christ, King Saul of Israel attempted to ask the spirit of the dead prophet Samuel for advice.

All over the world the police seek the help of mediums and spiritualists with complex cases. This happens many times every year, even though there isn’t a single documented case of a medium contributing to solving a case.
