UK: TV reporter Julie MacDonald's chilling encounters for new psychic show

Daily Record

JULIE MacDONALD is a serious news woman. As a reporter and presenter for news channel Al Jazeera, the Scottish journalist has spent several years reporting in the Middle East and has covered hard-hitting and dangerous stories all over the turbulent region.

But even her well-earned nerves of steel melted when she spent some time in the company of her most dangerous interview subject ever - a serial killer who has been dead for almost 30 years

The Glasgow-born presenter is the star of a new paranormal investigation series about the worst murderers in history, and spent six months travelling around America with a psychic trying to contact the spirits of the killers and their victims.

Julie expected nothing but hocus pocus from her seance sessions, but says she was left in tears, out of breath and feeling physically sick by her encounters.

She has teamed up with US psychic Bobby Marchesso for the series which features serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Revealed: How the Government studied the paranormal for use in war on terror

Glasgow Daily Record

Secret documents have revealed the MoD have been studying the paranormal and other unexplained scientific phenomenon for use in the war against terror.

The newly released files show that just after 9/11, the Ministry of Defence conducted a research project into psychics - with the possibility they could be used to locate terrorist cells.

Last night saw the UK debut of the eagerly anticipated US TV show Fringe, which takes its name from fringe science, an umbrella term for such bizarre notions as ghosts, UFOs, psychics and invisibility.

The series, from JJ Abrams, the creator of Lost, centres on FBI agent Olivia Dunham and uses paranormal plots following in the X-Files tradition.

Coincidentally, as the show takes off, the truth of just how seriously our Government have taken fringe science is slowly emerging.

As Abrams has said: "Though you could say it's science fiction, the weird thing about Fringe is that a lot of the stuff is at least in the realm of possibility.

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Ghost Stories and Much More...

Wistv.com

It's been quite a year for Jennifer Love Hewitt. Once just the mild-mannered (if gorgeous) star of CBS' high-rated Ghost Whisperer, the actress was thrust into an unexpected spotlight last winter, then led a long-overdue scrutinization of the entertainment industry's unreal ideal when it comes to body image. TVGuide.com welcomed the chance to speak with Love about, yes, Melinda's especially tricky travels ahead, but also the message she is adamant to keep spreading, about being comfortable in one's own skin. -- Matt Webb Mitovich

TVGuide.com: As I watched Ghost Whisperer's season premiere (airing Friday at 8 pm/ET), the irony was not lost on me that it revolved around arson, when the Universal Studios lot where your show films was damaged by fire over the summer....

Jennifer Love Hewitt: I know. That was a total coincidence. In fact, the fire happened just as they were getting ready to send out the script for that episode, which freaked us all out a bit. "Isn't our first episode called 'The Firestarter'?" It was one of those weird things.

Psychic barber Gordon Smith's astonishing insights reduced singing star to tears

DailyRecord.co.uk

WHEN Mica Paris met Scot Gordon Smith in his new Psychic Therapy series, something he said made her instantly dissolve into tears.

That's not so surprising, as Mica, 39, lost her half-brother Jason seven years ago in a senseless shooting.

But the shock, to Mica more than anyone, was that it was not her brother that prompted the reaction.

Gordon had a message from Mica's aunt Shirley, who died of heart failure just over three years ago, aged 46, after a seemingly routine operation to replace her pacemaker.

She wanted to tell Mica she was still there for her, and she loved her baby daughter.

The soul singer and sassy What Not To Wear presenter was overwhelmed with emotion, and put her head in her hands and sobbed.

"It was powerful," Mica said. "It just knocked me sideways. I was not prepared for that. I was sceptical.

"I've seen this kind of programme on TV and I've thought 'Hmmm, yeah...', and I always switch off.

"But what he said really threw me. I thought, 'Bloody Norah, no one knows about Shirley. What's going on?' I stopped filming - I had to. I couldn't compose myself. I was a mess."
