Medium James Van Praagh Is On A Quest
By Jesica Davis
It took James Van Praagh some time to accept the words of a medium that he would “change the consciousness of the planet.”
But the chance encounter sprung Van Praagh on a path that has led to the publication of nine books, several TV shows and live performances around the globe.
Before becoming successful, he left New York for California to work in broadcasting and attend San Francisco State with dreams of becoming a sitcom writer.
Van Praagh eventually got an informal job offer from a producer and hit a crossroads when his mother had a stroke.
“I had a decision to make, whether I should stay there with her when she was ill, or should I go follow my dream in California. I knew that she would want me to follow my dream. I literally drove across the country with a heavy heart, of course,” he said.
He called up the producer at Mary Tyler Moore (MTM) Productions, but the man never called Van Praagh back, and when he called the studio they would not give him a job.
But Van Praagh got a job at another studio, and eventually met a woman who directed him to a medium named Brian Horst in Manhattan Beach.
“As soon as I walked in, he told me, ‘You’re a medium,’” Van Praagh recalled. “He said you are going to work in the spirit world because they have plans for you. They are going to help to change the consciousness of the planet.”
After leaving Horst’s apartment, Van Praagh began meditating and honing his skills as a psychic, meeting with small groups of people and channeling “messages of love.”
He began doing his spiritual work on the “Joan Rivers Show,” “Unsolved Mysteries” and “The Other Side” before landing on CNN’s “Larry King Live” in 1997 to talk about his book “Talking To Heaven.”
“I did Larry King on a Friday night. The CNN bureaus around the world did not stop getting phone calls until Sunday. The book went from 6,000 copies to 600,000 copies in less than three months,” he said. “Then it was worldwide and a worldwide phenomena.”
He said people began accepting death and the “medium phenomena” began. (Who hasn’t seen Psych, The Mentalist?)
“Now it’s everywhere. Everyone has experiences like this and now it is OK to talk about. I think it did change the consciousness of the planet,” he said.

According to Almaguer, who has worked with law enforcement officials in a number of high profile missing persons cases, she has received visions that offer her insight on what really happened to baby Lisa on the night she went missing from her parents home this past October.
Based on the visions she claims to have received, Almaguer believes that baby Lisa drowned in the family bathtub and was then placed on the parent’s bedroom floor as attempts were made to revive the infant’s lifeless body.
After attempts to bring the baby to failed, Almaguer believes that the baby was buried in a shallow grave not far from the family’s home. “She’s in a hole, and it was a hole that carried water,” said Almaguer.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives of Baby Lisa.
New Zealand Medium Says Everyone Is Psychic
New Zealand Psychic Kelvin Cruickshank
Popular New Zealand Psychic medium Kelvin Cruickshank, TV celebrity and dad-of-two says anyone can channel spirit and he’s happy to show readers how.
Growing up in Huntly, Kelvin Cruickshank would look out his bedroom window and see Maori warriors.
The tiny tot – petrified – would then hide.
“I’m a little white boy, a little Pakeha fulla,” he says, a smile plays around his lips. “It used to scare the living daylights out of me.
“My grandfather passed when I was 8 and when he passed, he stood with them and explained to me what they were trying to share and that’s how I learnt to do what I do.”
The 40-year-old was a chef before turning his hand to fulltime medium work and now travels the country from his home in Kerikeri.
He’s just finished a year’s leave from psychic work to write his third book Finding the Path, Awaken Your Connection to Spirit, and to raise his youngest daughter, Jade, who is now 20 months. He also has a 16-year-old son, Javan.
Currently he is away travelling one week and home the next, doing workshops and Soul Food shows, which include communicating with the dead in a live audience.
And whichever after-death philosophy you adhere to, there’s no denying there are people who believe we can communicate with the deceased.
“New Zealand is really open now that we’ve had Sensing Murder,” he says of the TV2 show he starred in.
“Sensing Murder changed everyone’s way of thinking.
There’s heaps of people that are becoming more aware and are actually not afraid to say what they think. In the old days, they were all too scared.”
The goal was to help
The goal was to help
His celebrity prowess is as strong as ever, despite filming of Sensing Murder stopping 18 months ago. He says he would love to see a follow-up series happen but there are no plans on the table that he knows of.
“I never knew it would go to over 40 countries in the world, I had no idea. It was blown well out of my dreams but the goal was to help those families.
“All the cases have been special and all touched me in their own way … It’s exquisitely horrific stuff.”
Sensing Murder pulled in about 200,000 viewers an episode over five series and twice won best reality series at the Qantas Media Awards.
It featured Cruickshank, Sue Nicholson and Deb Webber visiting the scenes of violent deaths and describing visions they claimed to be experiencing.
He and his TV team of psychic sleuths have not been without their sceptics since the show aired.
Others, such as criminologist Nigel Latta, put the show into the “can’t explain” category.
“If a person chooses to believe in a certain faith than that’s fine,” says Cruickshank, who says when he was 7, his own aunt was murdered.
“Whereas when they start to criticise, I think ‘well that’s okay, at least they’re trying to understand it’. Generally it doesn’t effect me at all.”
I imagine he gets approached a lot by the public?
“Yep, you get used to it, eh. You always be polite and say hi. I think there’s a time and a place for everything.”
Normal and be spooky
What’s the number one question people ask?
“Gosh, I could be in a supermarket and nine times out of 10 people will say ‘can you see my mum?”‘
Cruickshank says it’s hard to “switch in” in certain environments, however.
“I need to be in an environment inside of myself, devoting myself to the spirit people and you need to set an environment where it’s a lot safer with no distraction.”
So he can’t do it during this interview?
“No, because what will happen is that person over there will have people with them,” he says, gesturing to people standing in Mid City Mall. “And I’ll get really tired and that’ll be that.”
So he can tune in and tune out?
“Yeah, exactly. Be normal and be spooky at the same time,” he says with a laugh.
But Cruickshank says if an afterlife message is urgent, the spirit life will “just snap me in”.
“So there’s an earthly experience, which means I’ve got to have a normal life like you and everybody else, and when I devote time to spirit, it’s all on.”
The dead friends
But when spirits don’t turn up, Cruickshank says he feels lonely.
“If I’m out in the boat I’ve got my Granddad talking to me, or if I’m racing motorbikes I’ve got some friends sitting on the back of my shoulder type of thing and I know that sounds weird, but I have those people looking after me. But when I need to stop and rest, they step away from me, which is like being totally alone for me because I’ve grown up with them.”
Cruickshank’s analogy for readers is that it’s like you or me coming home and everyone we know being away on holiday.
“It’s just my friends are dead, that’s the only difference,” he quips.
He considers the dead friends?
“God, yeah. People don’t realise that when you spend a lifetime with someone and they pass away we’re conditioned to think they’ll go to heaven, which is true, and that’s that, or when they’re dead, they’re dead. People on the other side that are loving are trying to get through but we’re conditioned to think it’s all bad and horrible but it’s not.”
The deceased are apparently allowed to make visits from heaven or “home” as he calls it.
“You might be at work all day, sit in car and think ‘I miss Nan’. It’s usually because she’s there and coming through from the other side. It’s as much a thought process as a feeling process.”
If this has happened to you, Cruickshank’s advice is: “acknowledge them out loud.”
“You may have had this experience yourself, where someone has moved past you in the corner of your eye and that’s usually the spirit connecting with us, stepping in to our world from theirs and most people say ‘Oh that was really spooky’ but that’s their head telling them that and if they listen to their heart and think about who it could have been …”
Communicating with someone
At his shows he says he has no idea what’s going to happen.
Audience members must have expectations of communicating with someone?
“Sure, and that’s unfortunate, because that expectation clouds the connection, so it’s almost as if when we say people demand it to happen, it never does. I try and explain that as best as I can to people to try and get them to chill out and ‘bang’ the connection with their dad, or their brother, or their daughter will come through. It sort of breaks a barrier.”
What is it Cruickshank sees?
He says, occasionally a physical form.
“But that’s not always the case as it’s very difficult for them to do that, so they communicate through your mind as well and give you pictures in your head, they talk to you, which is kinda weird.
“You’re basically talking to yourself but you learn to separate yourself and them … I don’t know if you’ve seen my work on TV but the accuracy is there and it can be quite overwhelming even for me because I have no idea what I’m talking about until I see results from a person in the audience and what they say back to us.”
The language of the spirit
Cruickshanks says people in spirit will come through clearly if they are open and honest. “Some people come through reserved, although I can see them or catch their presence, they might step away from me or drop their head down and when a person in spirit [does that] it’s shame,” he claims.
“They feel guilt, so therefore, it’s usually a suicide connection and that’s how the language of the spirit works.”
If you think it all sounds pretty out there, or quite frankly, a load of rubbish, Cruickshank, whose mother is a reverend, says you can do what he does.
“I think we’re all born with it,” he says.
“I think we just need to discipline ourselves to be aware of how we feel and what’s going on around us.”
A normal Kiwi bloke with a gift
Does Cruickshank ever worry his gift might be lost one day?
“If it does then so be it. Then I’ve done my job. I think when you’ve got a gift you’re got to share it and I just couldn’t hold back anymore. Some people accepted it and some didn’t. I lost some friends for it in the beginning.”
Tauranga woman Ange Beatson has been mates with Cruickshank since 2001. She says while her friend’s career choice is a “little out there” he’s just a “normal Kiwi bloke with a gift”.
She understands some people may struggle with it.
“If you can’t understand or make logic of it, if it’s unexplainable, which it is, it’s really hard to explain to people and yeah, it can seem airy-fairy.”
She says Cruickshank no longer does private readings as he got to a point where he had 500 people on a waiting list willing to pay a lot of money.
“When you look at the job that he does, he’s one of very few people with his talent. He’s on a higher realm than the everyday psychic you can go and do a reading with for 50 bucks.
“His job is not to convince people. His job is to connect people, if they want to be connected.”

Psychic Can’t Even Help Camille Understand Kelsey
Camille Grammer’s friend, Psychic Medium Alison DuBois, was able to explain Housewives problems in the future. But Camille Grammer tells news she can’t even understand her ex husband currently.
Despite Camille showcasing on Housewives a Medium who claimed to have all the answers about the future, today Grammer tells news she can’t even understand currently what is going on with ex husband Kelsey. Friends of Camille tell news that Camille can’t even reach Kelsey on the phone (or through other mediums). So now, she and Kelsey are heading to court to battle over custody of their children.
Last season on Housewives, the drinks were free flowing for bizarre guest-star Alison DuBois. DuBois was referred to as Jack Nicholson in the Shining by Kim Richards. Kyle called for a reading. And there, the turmoil erupted. DuBois told Kyle Richards that marital problems were on the horizon. Now it remains unclear if DuBois is assisting Camille Grammer in understanding her own problems with her ex husband.
“You have two legs, use them” is what DuBois told Kyle last season. Now Camille is telling Kelsey to walk into court with her and decide custody since the two can’t come to an agreement.
Kelsey went on to marry Kayte Walsh. Walsh’s brother is soccer player Phil Walsh (Dagenham & Redbridge), Alan Walsh (Bristol City) is her father, who is two years younger that Kelsey.
Camille Donatacci married Grammer part way during his lucrative years on the hit sitcom Frasier. The couple’s marriage was in California and subject to no prenup. Together they have residences in Holmby Hills, Malibu, New York, and elsewhere.
On Housewives, when Camille found out that Kelsey has fallen in love with another person, Camille told viewers “I do in my heart believe it’s a woman”. Even Bravo talker Andy Cohen found Camille’s remark peculiar.
A source tells PEOPLE today that Camille “would love to have a relationship with Kelsey for the kids’ sake,” but claims that “Kelsey will not communicate with her.”
Reports have claimed that the Camille and Kelsey Grammer – who have homes in Holmby Hills, Malibu, Colorado, and New York – are now worth $100 million. Initial news reports claimed that Kelsey offered Camille $30 million and she is demanding $50 million.
