Maybe the spirit who is supposed to be communicating tells the other spirits who are strolling by in no uncertain terms that they are not to fool with the medium during the test! Seriously, though, I think these are good questions that you raise. I don't have any ideas as to the answers. By the way, getting down to bare bones, what do you think is being tested for (or should be being tested for) during a mediumship test, and what is the most appropriate protocol for testing this? From the stanpoint of believers in mediumship, the claim to fame of mediums is that they relay or in some way facilitate the relaying of communications from the dead. Is this what we should be testing for?
