                Known as the original “Ghost Whisperer” (the TV show that was based on his abilities and for which he was a consultant), James Van Praagh is an expert in communicating messages from the grave. He is known as a survival evidence medium, meaning that he has the ability to bridge the gap between two planes of existence, that of the living and the dead.  On Wednesday, May 15, at 7:30 p.m. at The Ridgefield Playhouse, he will demonstrate his rare talent and do what he does best, select people from the audience to participate in the calling of the spirits in a one-night-only event. Last year’s show sold out. Mr. Van Praagh will be signing copies of Unfinished Business, Ghosts Among Us and Growing Up in Heaven in the lobby after the show. Copies of the books can be purchased in the Playhouse lobby the evening of the event or at Books on the Common (404 Main Street, Ridgefield) prior to the show.

                    “I’m clairsentient, which simply means clear feeling.  I feel the emotions and personalities of the deceased.  I am also clairvoyant”, explains Van Praagh.  “The first is feeling, the second is seeing, very much like Whoopi Goldberg in the movie, Ghost”. James is an expert on the subject of life after death as he has been in touch with his unique feelings most of his adult life.  James’ public popularity began during his appearances on the NBC talk show The Other Side, which focused on paranormal issues.  The Los Angeles Times television critic Howard Rosenberg dubbed James “spectacular”. 

                   James Van Praagh's unique paranormal experiences during the past twenty-five years have been recorded in his best-selling books Talking To Heaven, Reaching To Heaven, and Healing Grief. His fourth book is the proclaimed Heaven and Earth - Making the Psychic Connection. In September 2003, teens were introduced to Looking Beyond: A Teen's Guide to the Spiritual World. In November of that same year, his Meditations with James Van Praagh brought a new awareness to the meditation experience. His newest publication, Ghosts Among Us, was released to critical acclaim in May 2008 and quickly landed on the New York Times Bestseller List and was #1 on Amazon.com Bestseller list.
