Hello everyone I hope you're doing very well today. Welcome back to the Film
Insight channel for another crazy video
One of the biggest questions to ever be asked is about the existence of an afterlife. Many wonder and fear
idea of passing and often wonder if their loved ones or even themselves will
continue to live on. This question seems to be answered by the mind-blowing
medium Theresa Caputo on the really popular TLC show Long
Island Medium. Throughout the 12 seasons that have passed since its debut in 2011
this show generally brings the same things consistently. We follow Theresa
who has private and group readings with believers and skeptics of her mediumship.
Theresa asked them a bunch of questions and tries to connect these people with
their past loved ones. It seems really amazing and sometimes
unbelievable, but today we are going to list some reason why you shouldn't
believe the things that you see on this show. Make sure that before we start the
video though to drop a like if you do enjoy and subscribe for more content

Getting things wrong. On her TV show
she's shown getting virtually everything right about the departed loved ones of
her clients. "Felt like I was drowning. I don't know if it was from blood though
from like internal bleeding?" "Because my daughter was hit by a car less than a
year ago." From personal things like knowing about home videos made or
knowing exactly where or how someone passed, she seems very legitimate. However
when it comes time to performing in front of a large audience, it's a very
different experience. Many who have seen her live say she often starts
talking about something specific, but to the wrong person. They feel like she's
just saying anything in hopes that it will relate to at least one person in
the audience, which begs the question if she's really real.
Always Known Information
Not even close to often, if at all does anything that was unknown to
the client about their loved one ever comes up during Caputo's readings.
It shouldn't be a surprise that people keep things from those that they are in
a relationship or related to for a whole slew of reasons. Say if someone didn't
like something about their wife or their relative, they most likely won't bring it
up in order not to hurt them. Although it just seems like the spirits that she
communicates with only want to give their memories that are shared with
their loved one and not ones that are just their own.This suggests that the
information Caputo is getting might be a result of background checks or research
on clients. Some of Caputo's past clients allege that she had her crew come
beforehand to interview and poke around, which means she's prepped about that person
Never Negative
It should really go without saying that life in general has
its ups and downs and is never always positive. Most if not all of Caputo's
readings involve really heartwarming sentiments from those who have departed.
"All he keeps saying is look how beautiful my daughter is." This can easily
be one of the biggest reasons why the show and her mediumship is fake because
of how unrealistic it is. Not every spirit will have positive feelings and
be forgiving to their loved ones if there was a conflict before they died.
There's never anything like "oh I'm still mad even now for you for getting me at
school for four hours" or something like that, just always something positive.
We can say that Caputo just wants to make her clients happy
but she isn't real
Emotional Sleight of Hands
A lot of what Caputo does
especially in live performances is do something called "a cold reading." This is
when someone shoots a very vague question and analyzes the person's
response and body language in order to get valuable information out of them.
Caputo is certainly someone who uses this tactic when she ask things like "who
is the male presence that I'm picking up on?" What she's really trying to do here
is to get her client to do all the work for her and explain valuable things that
will help her connect them to the spirit. A lot of times they will respond with
"yes that's my son so-and-so" and Caputo will take this and run with it
Especially in larger crowds this is most effective because she can just rely on
the fact that someone will relate to her vague questions.
