Theresa Caputo
Theresa Caputo (born June 10, 1966; née Brigandi) is an American television personality best known for portraying herself as a medium on the TLC reality TV series, ''Long Island Medium''.
Caputo's claim of being a medium has been publicly challenged by multiple sources, ranging from television news programs like ''Inside Edition'' to print publications such as ''Wired Magazine'', where James Randi stated "Caputo does what’s known in my trade as 'cold reading'. The very best practitioners can pick up enough information in what seems like innocent, idle conversation to convince you that they know very specific things about you. The scientific phenomenon is called the Forer effect — giving credence to vague observations that seem personal. () Mediums cannot show they do anything more than cold reading nor that what the TV audience sees is just selectively edited to show 'hits' and ignore the 'misses.'" Caputo was described by D. J. Grothe as a charlatan, and James Randi said that her claims were not true.〔
In April 2012, the James Randi Educational Foundation awarded Caputo its Pigasus Award, a tongue-in-cheek award that seeks to expose parapsychological, paranormal or psychic frauds.
In 2014, investigator Ron Tebo publicly accused Caputo of fraud. According to Tebo, Caputo engages in several forms of deception, including sending staff members to interview audience members in advance in order to be able to pretend that she acquires knowledge from communicating with the deceased.
