I guess England doesn't practice "seperation of church and state" like we do.:doh Not that hiring a psychic is a very "church-like" thing to do.:twitch I could think of better ways to use taxpayer money.

I wonder if they thought of contacting a church or a pastor?:thinking

My first thought, too, was why didn't they get a priest to come in and "exorcise" the house? Isn't having a psychic do this pretty much having the devil cast himself out?

Most of Europe is secular these days, so a religious answer wouldn't occur to them....:scratch Besides, the psychic was talking to some of her "own", i.e. demons and they were probably happy to oblige just to be able to mislead people for the cause......:snake (satan)

Have to reply to this. Over here there are even TV programmes where psychic's go into a home with a TV crew and with the family hold a seance to expel the evil spirit - 60 min show.

They should just send the Most Haunted team in and take care of things...although they don't make ghosts leave.

Using a psychic to kick out a ghost is the devil battling himself.:tsk
