10 Famous Psychic Mediums In The World

Mediumship is a very unique concept. Those practicing mediumship, which is establishing contact between dead spirits and living human beings, are popularly known as psychic mediums. They are the communication links between the two realms, hence called "mediums". Communicating with the dead through these mediums has been practiced for several hundred years now.

Though there are people who scoff at these practices, many attempt to contact the spirits of their dead relatives or friends with the help of psychic mediums. Mediumship exists in various forms―the dead spirit using the medium's voice for giving a message; the spirit relaying its message to the medium, which (s)he hears and passes on; an apparition of the spirit; or the presence of the spirit's voice in the room. There are other forms of mediumship too, but the aforementioned are well-known all over the world.

Psychic mediums are also known to have the special abilities as given below.

Clairvoyant: A psychic medium sees things that are not physically present, such as the spirits of dead people.

Clairaudient: A psychic medium can hear the voices or thoughts of dead spirits.

Clairsentient: Psychic mediums can feel the presence of dead spirits or sense their need to communicate.

There are some people who are born with one or even two of the psychic abilities mentioned above, but they may or may not be mediums. Psychic mediums, on the other hand, are largely believed to have these special abilities, aside from being able to communicate with spirits. Psychic mediums are said to be born with these abilities, and use them to help mourning people communicate with their lost loved ones.
