Quick answers: Mediumship
What is an evidential medium?
An evidential medium offers specific, verifiable details about the person who has died (names, memories, circumstances you can recognise) rather than generic comfort. That is the standard we judge mediums by. Evidential mediums for a passed spouse explains what good evidence sounds like.
How do I know if a medium is genuine?
Judge a medium on one thing: details about the person who died that you recognise and did not supply. Be wary of vague statements that would fit anyone, fear-based upsells such as paying to remove a curse, and pressure to keep buying minutes. The full list is in How to spot a fake psychic.
