In a 1999 interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Margolis claimed that no special talent is required to be psychic. She declines to set up pay telephone lines like other psychics, but sells personal telephone psychic readings on her website, for which there is a waiting list. She says she became aware of her perceived abilities at the age of 8, when a figure appeared in her room one night and sprinkled her with twinkling lights. On the November 1, 2000 edition of Live with Regis and Kelly, Margolis declared on the show that host Kelly Ripa was pregnant. Ripa was pregnant but a spokesperson for ABC stated that only a small circle of people, and not Margolis or the public, knew.
Like contemporary James van Praagh and other alleged psychics, Margolis has been often criticized by James Randi and other skeptics of psychic power.
I was watching Char last night. She was speaking to random strangers on the street and telling them stuff she couldn't possibly know. I was thinking that she could very well be proof of an afterlife. She speaks to spirits who are around her or the person she speaks to. This way she gets to know things she could only know if she was told before the show. Seeing that she talks to random strangers she couldn't have been told information before.
Or is this all a big hoax?
What do you think of Char Margolis? Do you think she really has "powers" to contact the world of the deceased? Do you think she is proof of an afterlife?
