AI Summary

5 min read

The Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo, does not see spirits the way we see each other in the physical world, nor does she converse with them as we do in conversation. Instead, she feels what they felt as their soul left the body and receives symbols—a taste of blood for a tragic death, a heaviness in her head when many souls are present, a sensation of not being able to breathe for someone who passed from heart or lung issues. These are not vague impressions but precise, physical signals that form the grammar of her communication with the departed. On a brain scan conducted by Dr. Daniel Amen, her brain showed no activity while she was channeling—a flat line that matches her own description of having "no personal thought, feeling, or emotion" during a reading. The souls, she says, use her physical body as a vessel.
