Mediums in Our World
Recently a show aired on A&E entitled "Psychic Kids," this one-hour show cronicled several lives of children of all ages and backgrounds while at a two-day camp. Chip Coffrey, a well-known adult medium led the kids and their parents through exercises and interviews. These kids, ages from 8-15, all have psychic abilities and can sense or see dead people. Most of these kids have not told other family members or friends about their abilities.
One young girl explained to the documentary crew how she sees people that have passed on in life. One example was quite terrifying; one night she sensed there was a presence in the room with her, in fact, it had woken her up. She went to her closet and opened the door to see a dead girl hanging from the ceiling. It scared her very much yet she continues to hone her psychic ability. More recently, she has developed the ability to go inside people's bodies to see problem areas. At the camp she touched a woman's knee and was able to describe exactly what she saw inside the knee and the problem area.
Adult mediums, to me, seem a bit overdramatic. At least that is what I have observed on television and around my own area. What struck me the most about this program was the children and their convictions of seeing dead people. Children are naturally sensitive to otherworldly factors but these children can oftentimes communicate directly with the deceased. Watching this program I was afraid for them; I couldn't believe these children have to go through this day after day. How do they lead normal lives? Some of them were scared of the ghosts they saw, sometimes the ghosts appear in the same condition as how they died, i.e. bloodied and scarred, limbs missing, horror etched on their faces. These children have already been exposed to death and dying, some adults haven't experienced what they have in their entire lives. These children are strong and extremely gifted; I hope they continue to develop their abilities and learn to deal with their fears, though easy as it sounds, will take a lot of effort and perseverence.
