On the back of an experiment conducted by RiPA friends, Prof Wiseman & Prof French, RiPA will be holding a day of research projects to finally give the mediums out there a chance to prove that their gift is genuine.
In recent times due to an upsurge of TV shows with mediums at work, there is a widespread interest in the workings of mediumlism and with that brings the age old question: Are they genuine?
Under controlled conditions, RiPA will give the chance for mediums, of Herts, Beds & Bucks to prove themselves.
Details will be on site soon.
