Since all so-called psychics are frauds (in my opinion) it goes without saying that Acorah is a fraud. However, unlike most psychics, he's actually been caught red handed acting fraudulently by his own film crew while filming an episode of the utterly ridiculous 'Most Haunted'.
He's a publicity seeking charlatan who shouldn't be given the column inches nor the airtime to spread lies and conjecture masquerading as fact. He should be ashamed of himself but people like him don't know the meaning of the word.
It kind of reminds me of a story about the American psychic (and millionaire), Sylvia Browne who when asked on TV about a boy who had disappeared several weeks ago, told his distraught mother that he was now in the spirit world, ie. dead. This 'reading' turned out to be particularly egregious when the boy in question turned up a few days later and was found to have been living with friends a few blocks away from his mother after a family argument.
