Slow Saturday Special: I Need a New Medium

The Globe just isn't getting it done for me anymore.

"Maureen Hancock  is a spirit medium and holistic healer, who says she has been seeing dead people since they crowded around her bedroom in Stoughton at age 5. Her “Postcards from Heaven’’ events, routinely sold out across Eastern Massachusetts, are a combination of PG-13 stand-up comedy and serious soothsaying.

John Edward got a sex change?

And it is no exaggeration to say that she has her audience — many of whom have lost children to drugs, disease, or suicide — on the edge of their seats. They paid $50 a person. They so want to believe. You can see it in their widened eyes. And, by the end of the night, most do." 

I did once, and by the end of the $2 read I do not.

Next thing you know the Globe will be seeing UFOs.
