Mediums

A medium is an individual who mediates communication between spirits of the dead and other human beings.While no evidence has been accepted by the wider scientific community in support of the view that there has been communication between the living and the dead, some parapsychologists say that some of their research suggests that such communication may have taken place. The practice is associated with several religious belief systems such as Spiritualism, Spiritism, Espiritismo, Candomblé, Voodoo, Umbanda and some New Age groups.

Ironically, Allison Dubois of the NBC/CBS television series Medium is actually a psychi possessing precognitive abilities and is not actually a medium. A more appropriate interpretation of a medium would be Melissa Gordon from CBS television series Ghost Whisperer.
