   1. Dave, thank you. I really hope we can get some history buffs and celebrity fans to watch these interviews and comment. I find the concept interesting. I’d like to reach out to a few well-known mediums to ask about the process of contacting spirits unrelated to the sitter. I thought it was impossible, but maybe the rules on the other side are changing. Anyway, I checked out a couple of the groups you sent me but I haven’t joined as of yet. Thank you again for your proofreading skills – I count on it! -Jenn

2. Sorry you missed my work in this collection. I published what was one of the first collection of interviews in 1999, Party of Twelve: The Afterlife Interviews. I went on to channel Albert Einstein in an intensive interview and since then, have channeled a unified field theory with maps including maps of human consciousness and a process called Conflict REVOLUTION.

   I will look forward to listening to these above interviews. So far, the Erik interview with Einstein is vaguely similar, although my work is highly detailed and provides an answer for how each individual can find peace and contribute to world peace using Con Rev.

   1. Dear Barbara,
      Thank you for your comment and for the link to your book. I have updated the post to include your description and link. In this post, I was initially looking for videos only, but I am happy to include any published celebrity afterlife interviews. I’m looking forward to reading your book myself. As a medium/channeler, did you find it difficult to connect with personalities not emotionally connected with a sitter? Was the process different in any way?
      Thanks again, and I hope to see you around the site. I would always love to have a medium’s perspective on the subject of the afterlife; mediums have the inside track!

   2. I’ve heard some interesting theories put forth that suggest that a part of our energy stays in the spirit world so that we can still meet our loved ones when they die. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, just putting it out there. A lot of people worry that someone will reincarnate before they ‘get there’ to see them, and that’s one of the various answers put forth; the other is that “most people don’t reincarnate until after all of their direct loved ones meet them in the afterlife”. Going further, I’ve heard that because we incarnate with all of our lives simultaneously and time doesn’t really exist, we can be any of our personalities in the afterlife that we want, it’s just a matter of perspective and spiritual development. I guess I really haven’t made up my mind on it; what’s your take?

5. Jenn – the fact that you just responded to someone who makes the argument the Lincoln case is “fraudulent” by dint of the fact that Lincoln “reincarnated in 1971″…..good grief. The really unfortunate thing about being interested in, or exploring the amazing experiences that are on offer to human beings….is the sheer amount of nutty new age nonsense you have to sift through to find some kernel of real truth, or a community that is committed to keeping it real. (and sane sounding to boot 😉

6. The one thing I have learned doing this “work” – and I say “work” by virtue of running a whole bunch of psychic/spiritual development online communities – is, from a professional standpoint – there is never a lack of people (the “professionals” and the public alike) who will make incredibly emphatic, self important statements of fact, about things that, in the best of cases….. they are really only qualified to offer up a good guess based on their own adventures. In the worst of cases….this whole area of conversation is so rife with small minded spiritual silliness, that it makes heavy lifting for those of us who on an individual level, are really super curious and open (in not amenable) to the idea that we are “bigger” than our bodies.

   There is a great quote you would probably like – from the woman (Tami S.) who runs/owns Sounds True publishing……one of the bigger spiritual publishing houses around. She says – her new rule is, she only pays attention to the gurus and true believers who say “in my experience” when they offer up their word salad of wisdom…..rather than those who believe they’ve got the inside scoop on the “secrets” or have it all figured out already 🙂

   There is a lot of value, in valuing everybody’s comments, especially the site is yours – I do agree! I am slowly but surely finding myself on the other side of that street these days – where keeping it real – or at least honest – about what we know – and don’t know – is what matters most

   (I found your site as I was collecting links for a newsletter update – and saw your Randi article on FB – the comments of which, were also entertaining to read 🙂

7. Hi Mindful,

   Sounds like you have a ton of experience! I’ve been a long-time researcher, but I’m really new at blogging and reaching out to other spiritual communities. You are absolutely right though with regard to how self-important some people can get in the spiritual and new-age community. I try not to name names, but there are some self-appointed ‘gurus’ that simply parrot well-worn spiritual statements and hokum without even knowing if it works or not, or has any basis in fact or experience. Not to mention the arrogance of some. My very first post on this site was called “The plague of the new age movement: frauds, charlatans and liars” because I really want to warn people away from relying so much on spiritual teachers and gurus and steer them more toward developing their own beliefs and opinions based on research, evidence and most of all, personal experience. I am 100% with you on keeping it real and honest about what we do and don’t know. Even as general “believers” of spiritual phenomena, it behooves all of us to remain open-minded skeptics. Honestly, I was shocked at the amount of traffic and vitriol suddenly on my site after my rant about the JREF; normally my blog is pretty sleepy lol. Well, thanks for visiting and I hope to see you around!

9. Perhaps the concept of an ’emotional contact’ has been taken too literally and we’ve been looking for family and friends in this lifetime. Who’s to say that these people celebrated (or infamous) in recent years do not have an emotional bond with the medium or sitter formed eons ago. Perhaps we are all related and all have emotional bonds that we have forgotten about in this lifetime. This seems more likely to me than the popular thinking that we are all separate and ultimately alone.

   1. Hi Nicola,
      That’s a good point, and something I haven’t thought of. I shouldn’t get hung up on any rules, because there really aren’t any. Its unusual for mediums to be able to contact spirits that aren’t emotionally connected to the sitter, but it doesn’t mean its impossible. Perhaps more mediums will be able to in the future. Thanks for your comment. By the way, I really like your EVP/ITC blog – I’ll will be perusing it for sure.

11. Hi, Jenn. This is my first visit here. (Bravo on a very interesting site!) A few years ago, I saw my first celebrity interview which was Jamie Butler “spirit translating” for Robin Williams. Right after that I watched the Abraham Lincoln interview. I was pretty charmed by Jamie’s apparent ability to chat with spirit so conversationally. Other mediums seemed to struggle so hard to make sense of spirit, and this included big names like John Edward. Jamie seemed to chat in such a relaxed and casual way, and the difference in her delivery between Williams and Lincoln (their way of talking) impressed me. Besides that, Jamie was refreshingly cheerful, smiley, and easy-going. But I was also quickly frustrated at the level of questioning. I would often wonder what humanity could learn if a medium that skilled dealt with questioning by a professional researcher (ie, Craig Hogan, Gary Schwartz) skilled in asking relevant questions. If we could actually listen to and learn from people we recognize who were now in spirit, wouldn’t it be amazing? I was jazzed.

    Celebrity in and of itself doesn’t much thrill me, but the idea of learning from people who played a significant role in the world does. Why? Because I assume that they learned quite a bit in their passing and maybe they have opinions worth hearing. Even people like Hitler and Jack the Ripper could provide great insights if, as with many near-death experiencers, they made some crucial discoveries about the big picture of reality when on the other side. So I watched more CE videos. I should add that at the time I had not paid much attention to mediums. I dislike the rock star mentality and the marketing that has invaded the psychic medium circuit. So I thought I might be seeing state-of-the-art mediumship in Jamie. I read your other post about CE and Jamie. I have become disappointed in the direction she seems to be taking, but I have a hard time thinking of her as an out-and-out fraud. She just seems so relaxed and joyous most of the time. Yet I do wish that she would use her gifts (and perhaps increase her credibility) by helping afterlife researchers do the work that they do.

    All that said, I find celebrity and historical character interviews very entertaining, even though I write many of them off as fiction. Fiction can be a great purveyor of truth, too. Jamie’s videos intrigued me enough to attend an afterlife conference last year where I discovered a much broader picture of what mediums do.

    1. Dear Joshua,

       Welcome! Thank you very much for your comment. I agree – lately, I am thinking of Jamie Butler as less and less of an outright fraud. I think she has talent. Unfortunately, we cannot gauge how much real information we are getting vs. what distortion might be coming from the medium because there is no evidence. As I said in my post, if Jamie is really that talented, she could very well be one of the best mediums living today. If that is the case, should we expect more from her? I read her book because I was interested in getting more info about her background. She says that she cannot handle police work because its too stressful emotionally. Okay, I guess I suppose I understand that? I guess if I were Jamie, I would want someone to test me – and I would be putting up videos that were truly evidential. I think she is selling herself short by doing celebrity interviews that unfortunately prove nothing about her abilities. C.E. makes a lot of claims but does nothing to back them up. Anyway, despite the fact that I am very iffy on the celebrity interviews, I also do find them entertaining. Unfortunately, there is also disappointment. As a fan of science, I was excited for her interview with Einstein. It was just so disappointing. If I had the abilities that she did, I’d be bugging him for historical facts that could be verified, equations that I couldn’t make up on the spot, things like that – then, once I’d convinced my audience that I was the real deal, I’d try to ask Einstein for something that would really help humanity. Without the evidence that you are really speaking eith Einstein, no one will take anything else you say seriously and that is such a loss, in my opinion.

       Thank you so much for stating your opinion and for your compliments, I hope you stick around the site!

       1. Hi, Jenn! Thanks for the welcome. I agree with you that if Jamie is as talented as she appears (and how she describes her adventures in her book, which I also read, infer that she is amazing), she would definitely be among the best mediums living today. I suppose that everyone has free will to use their gifts as they wish, but I would love to see someone like that be working with afterlife researchers to help solve some of humanity’s greatest mysteries. For example, people like Gary Schwartz and Craig Hogan among others are working on the so-called soul phone, a device that would literally be like a cell phone to spirit. Supposedly this is a joint-venture between scientists here and those in spirit. One would think that Jamie could be of great service to this project if she legitimately converses so easily with spirit. Even if she was not a go-between with scientists, she could certainly help establish more credible evidence for soul survival if she was of a mind to help humanity progress to the next level.

          As for evidence with someone like Einstein, I can see where this whole project would have to be undertaken with a little more seriousness and perhaps structure than what dead celebrity mediums and their sponsors seem to provide. These YouTube videos seem to be more like entertainment. I guess that is good for inspiring people’s curiosity, but not so appropriate for gathering serious evidence. My overwhelming feeling about them was “we (humanity) should get some serious researchers in on asking deep and meaningful questions.”

          Yes, I will be sticking around, thank you!

                Hello. I remember looking for it myself and found a reference from Dr. Medhus on her website http://channelingerik.com/ that they had taken it down due to a request from Mr. Williams (lawyer?) family asking for it being taken down. I can see that Dr. Medhus does respond here so maybe – if she sees this – she can verify? The layout on the website has changed since then and it has been some years so this reply is unfortunately the best I can do for now.

                1. Bach, thank you. In my own thinking, Channeling Erik is more of a religious/spiritual theater as there appears to be little vetting of the authenticity of the celebrities (we have to take it on faith) and I have no idea if the mediums have been tested. Meanwhile, FYI, there’s a new “panel discussion” on the CE site in which Robin Williams is a character. I discovered it just now by searching on Robin Williams on the CE site.

13. I just found your blog today. Love it and look forward to reading more.

    On the topic of spirit contact with celebrities and the emotional link to the sitter or contactee (as in ADC’s where no medium is involved), if we do reincarnate and have X number of lifetimes, then the celebrity bit loses its importance in the bigger picture. Like Nicola mentioned, It also opens the possibility of emotional links to people who never met them (or were even interested in them) in this lifetime. Our society makes far too much of the fame and celebrity label. (Of course, that is why it’s also possible some publicity seekers could use this approach to get attention. I’m not making any judgements here about anyone, just pointing out the obvious.)
    For anyone wanting to check out a very compelling personal account, the book All You Need Is Love by Jewelle St. James is very good. It will give anyone with an open mind lots to think about.

    1. Thanks Karinj! And thanks for your comment. Yes, it’s possible that we could make connections thru past lives though I would imagine it would be unusual for one medium to be connected to all of the celebrities. Though, you are right. Celebrity means little in the afterlife as it is deeds that count for the most. Thanks for the recommendation! I’m always up for new books on spirituality. I hope to see you around!

17. hmm I’m on the fence with this. Because as I know is that most souls that physically leave the body either are tied to the cemeteries doing their “last dance” as the shamans call it. Yaqui shamans were extremely practical people with amazing psychic gifts. They were known as “seers”. Because of the third eye chakra. But these entities won’t stay tied to the cemetery forever. They either live on immortally, while keeping their awareness into the astral realms. Or they’re awareness gets eaten up by the Great Eagle they call it. Thoughts on this anyone?
