Fraud, Psychics and Monetizing the Dead and Grieving: James Van Praagh Fail

   A skeptic tests James van Praagh, the psychic fraud, and finds him wanting. He walks us through the techniques of cold, warm, and hot reading, and shows exactly how "psychics" like Van Praagh, Edwards and Browne are able to con the unwary.

   Van Praagh makes millions lying to people. There is no evidence, anywhere of psychic abilities. These people are frauds. Charlatans. They claim powers and knowledge they do not have, and con people into paying them for them. In a more just world, this would be illegal.

   Don't fall for them, please.

   The James Randi Foundation offers a $1million prize to any paranormal practitioner that can provide proof  that they're not frauds. The prize has never been rewarded. Yet.

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
