A British television entertainer wanted to test the abilities of three psychics, inviting them to an abandoned chocolate factory to try to summon the spirit of its long-deceased owner. Amazingly, the psychics were all able to channel the ghost of the man -- an American named George Bull -- and provide a startlingly accurate account of his life on the spot. He had managed the factory in the late 1800s. Angry, aggressive, and generally the opposite of Willy Wonka, Bull got himself killed on the job when he caused a team of delivery horses to panic and trample him.

That's incredible information the psychics were able to glean just from speaking to the spirit, especially considering that Bull never existed and his story was completely made up on the spot.

In preparation for the show, the producers had planted fake information about George Bull on the chocolate factory's website and hung a fake photograph of him in the foyer. Even though they were told nothing about the story beforehand, the mediums still managed to channel a guy named George who got trampled by horses -- in other words, they revealed that they possessed the amazing power to do a basic Google search.

So uncomfortable. Yet so satisfy.

1. Yes, well you see, in the spirit world there is a great deal of

raw ethereal energy which exists in the dark interstices between the wandering souls. This inchoate energy is hungry for existence, and when a person with psychic power reaches across to seek a specific spirit, that unformed ether can coalesce into the identity being sought. So, while Mr. Bull never existed in the so-called 'real' world, the act of imagining him caused him to become real on the other side. So, his spirit is now there, available to be talked to and learned from. Or something like that...
