Can Spirits Communicate with Us? A Look at Mediumship

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to receive messages from the other side, you’re not alone. The question of spirit communication has intrigued, comforted, and even frightened people for centuries. At the heart of this mystery lies the practice of mediumship—the belief that certain individuals can serve as a bridge between the living and the dead.

In our latest episode of The Psychic Hotline, we dive into the world of mediums, séances, and spirit messages. What does it really mean to be a medium? And how do they know who—or what—they’re connecting with?

What Is Mediumship, Anyway?

Mediumship is the claimed ability to communicate with spirits who have passed on. Unlike psychics, who may tap into intuitive knowledge about the present or future, mediums focus specifically on relaying messages from those who have crossed over.

These messages might come in the form of voices, visions, sensations, or even dreams. Some mediums describe receiving information like flashes of images or hearing a voice in their mind that isn’t their own. Others rely on tools like automatic writing or spirit boards to help facilitate the connection.

So… Is It Real?

That’s the million-dollar question. Skeptics often attribute mediumship to clever psychological tricks, cold reading, or confirmation bias. And truthfully? Sometimes they're right—there are definitely frauds out there.

But then there are moments that even the most logical minds struggle to explain—stories of mediums revealing names, dates, or deeply personal memories that seemingly couldn't be guessed or researched.

We explore both sides of this debate in our episode, asking: What does it take to believe? And what would it take to convince someone who's doubtful?

Mediumship in Everyday Life

One of the most surprising things about our guest’s journey was how normal spirit communication can feel. For some, it's not a dramatic séance—it’s a quiet knowing, a subtle sign, or an inner voice that feels deeply familiar.

Whether you believe in the supernatural or think it's all in our heads, mediumship invites us to think about grief, love, and the bonds we carry beyond this lifetime.
