A lengthy debate here earlier about the alleged medium, Psychic Sally Morgan, prompted me to do a bit of research on her family background and also the extent of her operation. I came across a very interesting interview and story about her in The Independent in 2008. Its welt worth reading in full because it reveals the full extent of her organisation. Apart from her national appearances and TV show, she had a team of 30 other psychics working for her via a call centre, giving readings to people on the phone at - are you ready for this? - £39.99 for a half hour session! Money for old rope, eh? And that was six years ago, perhaps its more now! See: independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/sally-morgan-i-am-not-mad-i-am-not-unhingedi-talk-to-dead-people-942336.html She is also somewhat vague about her background. In the article she told the interviewer she was born at Fulham in 1951 as Michelle West and later changed her name to Sally. However, I looked her up in the General Register Office birth indexes and she was actually registered at birth as Sally M West in the Oct-December quarter of 1951, so why would she say she changed her first name when she was born with it? She claimed her father Derek was cruel and her mother Beryl beat her with a hair brush. She was also vague about her first marriage to a man she would name only as Brian. However, I found the marriage quite easily in 1971 and his name was Douglas K Dana, by whom she had a daughter called Jemma. The story also said she had been estranged from her mother and the daughter - she has two other daughters by her second marriage to John Morgan - for 12 years. For someone who claims to be able to tell people amazing things about themselves, she seems to have a somewhat messy private life. The story is also worth reading for the observations of a professor of psychology about how so-called mediums work. There are some juicy little titbits about how Psychic Sally had her first vision at the age of four when Jesus appeared to her on her bedroom ceiling and she had another visitation as a teenage while listening to Cliff Richard and a voice said to her Shut that bloody racket up! to which the writer adds this gem: Definitive proof, some might argue, that our Lord is both vigilant and merciful. ! :)
