Life After Death - Tyler Henry

For those of you who have watched - yay or nay?

Part of me wants to trust his ability, but part of me can't trust the show because it's obviously not live. The producers obviously had to pick people out of a long list and presumably had a few details on what each reading would be about, so I'm having a hard time trusting it's a 100% legit.

I do like the story line about his family though - really interesting and sad at the same time,
 
I know what you mean.
I want to believe but why do the deceased never come through with “I’m her dad, Joe Bloggs”? Instead we have “I’ve an older gentleman here who is a father figure.”

I really want it to be true and I’ve thought about going to one myself but if the person I need to come through doesn’t come through I know I’d be absolutely devastated.

Tylers grandmother Stella sounds evil. Did they say why she killed those people?
 
I think she killed those people because she wanted to run the motel. She was the maid, they were the owners. It's very sad she dragged her son into this making him an accomplice. Absolutely awful. Tyler's aunt and uncle (Felicia and Peter) really seem like good people despite being the biological children of a murderer.

In terms of Tyler's ability, I always a get sceptical when he says: "Is there a William or Opal in the family" then the person getting the reading says: "It's my uncle / aunt". Sometimes I wonder if the producing team don't perform a family tree search on ancestry.com before the reading, just with the name of the person who requested the reading. Picking up correctly on names is very specific.

Yep, that Opal bit stood out to me, also the guys round the table when T met his old teacher made me wonder if the guy had said 'no way are you doing me'. And there was something else dodge, ahhh yes, the episode with the couple who were associated with the tao temple. Tyler asking if there had ever been a fire regarding an obviously wooden building is not a clever psychic thing, the fact there was a fire there that night though, seems a bit suspect!

I wondered the same about the guy at the table when he met his old teacher. He read them all except for him. You could tell he was sceptical.

Oh wow - there was a fire on the same night?! That's very suspect. I thought the fire had taken place before the reading. It can't be a coincidence.

I think the reading that really instilled doubt in me was the one with the investigator where she kept telling him "we already know that" because he came up with the most generic statements. Then he said: "it's not like he walked into the woods and disappeared" or something and the investigator was like "that's actually what happened - he walked into the woods and disappeared" then they made it seem as though he hit the nail in the head when he was actually wrong.

Also, he always says the person on the other side is happy. Does it really take a psychic to know this? I don't know.
 
I think he is genuine. I used to watch the show he did on E! with celebrities and often they said the stuff that he picked up on couldn't be found on the web. He also didn't know whose house he was going to prior, so he couldn't quickly research them.
 
It's good telly and his personal story really helps engage the viewer plus he has a weird ability to look like other well knowns, Culkin, but I think its all cold reading, nlp, micro reading, informed research and T himself believes he's a medium which adds to the show. A guy I know worked on Most Haunted and we chatted about how it was filmed, he's a very dry sort, poker face but sometimes his laughter cracks, 'There's something to it' was his party line when asked, which actually means nothing, then he chortles and says pass the beer.

I'm not completely anti the idea that humans can pick up imprints of energy left behind by human experience, eery atmospheres etc but talk to the dead in this way, no. The dead are dead and their energy is off becoming star dust again or such like which I personally find far more miraculous. They are not spying on you eating too much cake or worse but, if he helps some gain closure to move forward with life then on you go.

I don't trust the smile or the eyes.

We don't know that to be honest. He says he never knows who he is about to read for, but we can't have the certitude.

Here's my problem with Tyler Henry and his ilk - he's so condescending and his attitude when challenged is that it's other people that don't understand and he brings a lot of comfort and closure to people. It's the same old spiel with every single one of these frauds. To me, he's cold reading and probably warm reading too. He says he's from a small town and doesnt know who he's reading - I call bullshit. A cursory Google search on the people he reads and he's got a lot of information.. why doesn't he have his "abilities" put to the test? It's cruel, it's unkind, it's vile pretending to communicate with people's dead relatives. Literally preying on grieving people.
As for bring people closure? It's false closure because it's fake and I think it shouldn't be allowed to happen, unless of course these charlatans can prove their abilities. But they cant communicate with the dead. You know why? Because they're dead!
 
I'd like to believe it but I'm not convinced by all that "I've got a man here, he's tall and has a beard and I'm getting that he was connected to the wine industry, he was married twice and has a connection to oklahoma". All that but no name. I'd buy it more if he said 'I've got a Joel Harrison from Kansas here and he's saying he's your Dad'
