If he/she were really in contact with the deceased, he/she would just receive a message, "Your dad says the box is buried underneath the bleachers at Bethpage High School. Does that mean anything to you?"Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-46027366274114822752011-06-10T08:00:36.222-04:002011-06-10T08:00:36.222-04:00Good concept for a test -- which is why no "m...Good concept for a test -- which is why no "medium" will ever agree to it.<br /><br />Oddly enough, no medium has <i>ever</i> been able to provide any verifiable information from a dead person that wasn't previously known anyway.

After the medium has told you their name and all the other bullshit, reveal that there is no such relative.
