James Deary, a successful business entrepreneur and family man.  never wanted to be a psychic medium. This ability more or less “happened” to him. His first near-death experience occurred when he was two years old. At age eight, he saw his first apparition. Soon thereafter, psychic experiences became commonplace. Looking back, he was always a clairvoyant who could see Spirit, but the sensing, knowing, and hearing Spirit developed over many years.  He has published a memoir entitled, “The Birth of an American Medium.”   Jim has never been in it for profit, he is as regular a guy as anyone.  He just happen to have certain gifts and offers evidence that the experiences are real.  A fascinating conversation awaits!
