Gourt Home::Gourt :: James Van Praagh
James Van Praagh (born August 23, 1958 in Bayside, New York) practices as a medium.
Van Praagh is the author of several books dealing with the subject of parapsychology, and he is co-Executive Producer of the television series Ghost Whisperer on CBS.
Van Praagh might be described as a "celebrity medium", in much the same vein as John Edward and the British medium Derek Acorah.
The validity of such psychic abilities has often been disputed, such as in Episode 1 of Bullshit! - Where Van Praagh and Edward were accused of using cold reading techniques and subterfuge to garner information from studio audiences, and use this information in supposed conversations with the dead.
In 2006, Van Praagh appeared as a contestant on the revival of I've Got a Secret.
