Psychic Sally tells of her talents

But since psychic Sally Morgan was bringing her one-night show to Oakengates Theatre, I thought it was time to find out.

She's been gracing our TV screens for years now and has convinced thousands that she can talk to those beyond the grave.

The 63-year-old took to the stage in front of a packed Telford audience - and it seems she is so popular in the town that she's had to add an extra date at the end of November.

With so many people in one room desperately seeking a message from a deceased loved one, she got right to the task in hand and started talking to spirits on stage.

She mainly communicated with spirits at random and only selected one "love-note" and photo during the entire show.

Having discovered her gift as a young child, Sally said her shows are about passing on as many messages as she can.

"I want people to leave and believe they have seen a medium," she said. "I want to pass on as many messages as I can from one world to the next."

The spirits kept speaking to her on stage all through the evening - one after the other.

Some of the messages were accurate and gasps of surprise were heard rippling across the theatre.

They included messages from people who had died by committing suicide, another that was murdered and one from a teenager who suffered an asthma attack.

On a number of occasions the messages did not make sense to people, so she'd quickly move on.

There were tears in the audience and, after each message, Sally would tell them the spirit was either urging them to "move on" or that they were "safe".

A stand-out moment took place when she told a woman in detail about a loved one who had passed away and had been unhappy about a procedure she'd had before death.

There was an awkward moment when two audience members received a message from a loved one who had killed herself . Sally kept referring to the "rope" around her neck - as though she had hanged herself - but the audience members quickly informed her death was caused by an overdose.

Some messages fitted a very real situation to some, but other times it didn't work at all.

All in all, even though I went in with an open mind on the subject, I am still unconvinced.

This kind of show attracts people who are hoping to get a message from a loved one because they are grieving or because they miss them.

But I think if her work has provided some comfort to them, then that surely isn't such a bad thing.

No matter what, Sally Morgan is a great entertainer and a very successful businesswoman.

She told the Shropshire Star that despite rapidly approaching her mid-60s: "There is definitely no talk of retirement."
