真实存在的灵媒Allison DuBois
看过Medium的朋友一定对女主角Allison Dubois和她的家庭留下了深刻的印象。但是很多人不知道的是， Allison Dubois并非是虚构的电视人物，而是真实存在的人物！ ...
from wiki too:
DuBois as a medium
DuBois refers to herself as a medium and profiler, rather than a psychic, because of the negative connotation she feels is associated with the term psychic. She claims that she became aware that she had the ability to communicate with departed souls when she was 6 years old.[1] DuBois claims she uses this ability to connect deceased loved ones to the living, and also to help law enforcement agencies solve crimes, such as the Texas Rangers and the Glendale, Arizona police department, and that she used these abilities as a jury consultant.[5] These law enforcement agencies have since either denied any such cooperation happened or the tips provided by Dubois were not helpful.[3]
According to the TV Guide, Allison DuBois spent four years participating in various tests at the University of Arizona to assist with their studies of mediums and psychic phenomena. Gary Schwartz, Director of The VERITAS Research Project, claims that DuBois has psychic abilities, arguing in the March 6, 2005 TV Guide, "Anyone who's looked closely at the evidence can't help but come to the conclusion that there is something very real going on here." At their first meeting, Schwartz says DuBois accurately described a friend of Schwartz's who had just died. Impressed, Schwartz conducted a series of interviews, including one in which DuBois stated she contacted the late husband of a woman in England,[citation needed] knowing only the woman's name. The woman, after reading a transcript of the session, affirmed that 80% of what DuBois said was accurate.[6] Schwartz published his research in a book titled The Truth About Medium. According to a statement by DuBois, she does not endorse the book or Schwartz.[7]
[edit] Criticism
Skeptics such as Dr. Paul Kurtz and Dr. Ray Hyman say that DuBois does not have psychic powers.[6] Ray Hyman of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), formerly the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), questions the scientific integrity of Schwartz's approach to such psychic phenomena, in papers written for the organization.[8] Schwartz responded, claiming that there were logical errors in Hyman's and other published criticisms of his work.[9] In his response, Schwartz presents quotes of Hyman's paper into which numerous typographical errors have been mysteriously added. Schwartz's experimental methodology is available for public analysis in papers uploaded to his web site.[10]
Skeptic James Randi says that people such as DuBois give the appearance of psychic powers through cold reading techniques. For example, DuBois, when doing her first reading of Schwartz, told him that his deceased friend was telling her, "I don't walk alone," which Schwartz understood to be a reference to his friend's confinement to a wheelchair, which DuBois could not have known about. Randi says that Schwartz leapt to an unsupportable conclusion, since the notion of "not walking alone" can mean any number of things, and "certainly does not describe being in a wheelchair." Randi also asserts that experiments that allegedly yield positive results of psychic powers, such as the ones done with DuBois, are not conducted using proper scientific controls.[2][11] In light of Schwartz's assertion that "some" of his experiments with DuBois were performed under such conditions, Randi questioned why weren't all of them, and points to a report showing how a few of Schwartz's experiments were not performed according to standard scientific protocol.[2][12] Dr. Schwartz's point-by-point response to Randi's criticisms came out in 2005.[13]
Randi has offered to have DuBois tested for his One Million Dollar Challenge. According to Randi, DuBois declined his invitation to the challenge.[14]
Former FBI profiler, behavioral science expert and MSNBC analyst Clint Van Zandt challenges DuBois's statements about helping law enforcement and putting people on death row, arguing, "If psychics were truly successful and if their results were not simply the consequence of trickery (at worse [sic]) or good interviewing skills (at best), then why don't law enforcement agencies have psychic detective squads, a real X-Files Unit, or other ways to integrate these paranormal investigative capabilities?"[15]. |

1、孔子死很久了吧，孔子的思想还存在，至今依然影响许多人的言行。2、贝多芬、莫扎特也死很久了吧，现在人们还能在音乐会上领略他们的灵魂和思想境界。
先用秤称一下哈
