TV medium Derek Acorah – famous for his appearance on Living TV show Most Haunted – has been charged with careless driving.

The 63-year-old media personality was in a car crash on Saturday night in Merseyside.

Acorah was also charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis and has been bailed, due to face Sefton magistrates’ court on December 30.

His Nissan GT-R sports car collided with a Ford Ka, resulting in two members of the other car suffering ‘whiplash’ style injuries.

I hate psychics, clairvoyants and astrologists with a passion! Especially ones that find enough idiotic mugs to make them wealthy.

One day people in this country will be educated enough to have the good common sense to put these charlatans out of a job!

*rant over*

As you're all knowing, perhaps you should make it your personal quest to prove to everyone that such things are fake! ;)

Personally, I realise that there's a lot of fakes out there, but I'm also not stupid enough to completely dismiss the fact that there could be something. Anyone who says that such things are 100% real or 100% are the silly ones.

What do you think that something might be?

What more likely, these special people can talk to our departed friends and family, but only well enough to deduce, "I can see the letter E," or that these guys are deluded or fake?

Why have none of them been able to prove their gift? And indeed why have so many of them, Acorah included, been shown to be frauds so easily?

There's a clear obvious explanation for all these folks... So pick the use of your phrase "stupid enough" carefully.

The fact you can't disprove 100% doesn't give the idea any credibility.

We are well within reason to dismiss it as rubbish - what it presents is actually verifiable (yet consistently fails when put up to the challenge).

This is what bugs me specifically about many of these concepts, at least the idea of a deity as a core concept is unknowable (which leaves room for faith/belief) - these ideas relate to actual events/abilities which are testable (but always fail those tests).

The insurance company or the solicitors charged with handling the claim do not care who he is, why would the people in the KA get awarded more money because of his "celeb" status?

Given that his insurer will pay, surely his personal income is not relevant?

He may end up paying to keep them from stretching it out milking it for all it's worth from a media perspective.
