Dr. Gary Schwartz (openmindsciences(1)) shared the results of his laboratory controlled experiments in which mediums claimed to communicate with the deceased. In one test, with three mediums (including John Edward) and five research sitters, the mediums consistently revealed accurate information about deceased loved ones, even though the sitters remained completely silent, Schwartz detailed.
Further, he concluded the mediums were not reading the minds of the sitters because the information they conveyed was often material the sitters didn't particularly want to know or weren't even aware of in the first place (and was only confirmed afterwards).
Schwartz, who came from a hard science background, related how he was drawn into the field through various people, including a researcher named Susie Smith who died in 2001. Subsequently he said he was contacted by a St. Louis medium named Janet who told him she was receiving messages for him from a woman named Susie. The two proceeded to conduct an experiment via email, where Janet sent him notes from Susie about what he was doing in his life within 24-hour periods. Susie reported on Schwartz's activities with about 80% accuracy, indicating she had the ability to watch over his life.

The Angry EVP

Bryan of the Paranormal Activity Investigators(1) sends us an unusually angry sounding recording of electronic voice phenomena (EVP). He writes:
This EVP(2) (requires Windows Media Player) was recorded on our April investigation in Leawood Kansas. Thehouse is home to 4 family members (Husband/Wife/2 Daughters). The twodaughters were staying with some in-laws this particular night. In the clip you will hear an investigator speaking with thewife of the household. Note the yelling in the background, which did notoriginate from the mouths of the other investigators nor the husband ofthe household. Here is what we believe the voice is saying : "Give my (daughter) back to me.*slap and woman yelps* Marsha. Ain't funny (or isn't that funny) littlegirl..." It's my estimation that this EVP is aresidual EVP.

It seems that this violent interaction which seems to bebetween a male and a female (possibly more than one male) has left animpression on the house. The picture (left) is of a triple orbcaptured in one of the bedrooms of the top level of the home (the room theinvestigator was headed towards when the EVP was recorded).
