The downside of my experiences is that I am far more suspicious about reported details, many of which could simply have been 'lifted' from the sitter - so often a real likelihood.

Just wondering - is it ever possible for a medium to mistake their own thoughts/assumptions for real spirit messages? Just thinking a medium might not realise their own unconscious beliefs about a person were playing a part, if this was the case. Just a thought. Not sure how it works and how messages come through but I would imagine it takes a lot of training to be able to empty the mind of its assumptions.
