I personally believe that while she may have psychic abilities, they are greatly exaggerated in the name of drama.

I've only seen the show once or twice. I watched it out of curiosity as pretty much a TV medium to me screams fraud so I was wondering how obviously it would be. One uniqueness that made me wonder of her credibility is if she is a complete fraud on one episode she portrays the son of a friend as a young kid who is also gifted with the ability to perceive spirits, so if she's fake she's drawing him into her web of lies which is wrong of course. Overall I think it's possible she can perceive spirits yet like the living spirits can deceive people, those who can see spirits don't necessarily have the gift to simply conjure up the spirit for communication with that specific one which would be required considering how she portrays herself as being capable of talking with specific entities, I've seen people reveal very good tricks that are often used to convince people that a person is psychic, etc...so if she is gifted I doubt she's as gifted as she portrays herself to be. The key factor is it's a TV show so she's got to be dramatic or compelling to draw in viewers, and most things she reveals I'm sure could be discovered by research into the family or person.

my mom likes her more than i do, she's entertaining [mostly for the way she acts and talks] regarding her 'gift' i feel she does have the ability to speak with spirits. she seems to know what she's doing anyway. yes, she is helping people heal, but i'm sure a lot of what you see on tv is there for the sake of drama. of all the claimed mediums i've seen on tv she seems to be real thing. granted i wouldn't go out and buy her books or tickets to her show, but i would watch her over any other medium. [not sure if the other countries get this show but in Canada we have 'moms a medium' omg she's not only fake but aggravatingly annoying.]

I love Long Island Medium, i don't think shes fake at all or a fraud. For people to believe that are ignorant. But i know when you do stuff on tv it can take little more drama then you need. I think her abilities are interesting and great. And she does at least know what she is doing. There where some great and heart warming episodes.

I believe that she does have ability its just it bugs me when she brings up what could be painful memories they have just finished grieving

I'm not a fan of reality tv. It's too easy to fake.

I'm not saying the woman herself is fake, however, she does seem to be using an old parlour trick called "cold reading." on top of my normal practices as a Witch, I do study "Magician" magic, which is nothing but illusions, sleight of hand, and the like. Cold Reading comes from that aspect of entertainment, and has nothing to do with actual psychic phenomenon.

I'd have to meet her in person, OFF CAMERA, to determine if she's a cold reader, or an actual psychic. Until then, I'll probably never be a fan.

because of where i am in my own path it took me three seasons to believe that in fact, in my opinion she could not possibly fake what she does. i am surprised this thread has not been deleted because of the fact that she is an online person as well. she is for sure on facebook and this has got to be the most popular site on the internet to come and learn magick.

What are my thoughts? Long Island iced tea...

Yeah, that's about it. I've never seen the show, but I'm automatically weary of tv psychics (and ghost hunting shows).

Personally, I think it's bubkas. Almost any true psychic that I know, wouldn't exploit their gift like that. They might help people, but not for twenty grand an episode. It's kind of upsetting.
