While no evidence has been accepted by the wider scientific community in support of the view that there has been communication between the living and the dead, some parapsychologists say that some of their research suggests that such communication may have taken place. There are several different variants of mediumship; the best known forms are where a spirit takes control of a mediums voice and uses it to relay a message, or where the medium simply hears the message and passes it on. Other forms involve manifestations of the spirit, such as apparitions or the presence of a voice, and telekinetic activity. 【百家姓】2011年中国最新姓氏排名、看看你排第几呢 1 王 2 李 3 张 4 刘 5 陈 6 杨 7 黄 8 孙 9 周 10 吴11 徐 12 赵 13 朱 14 马 15 胡
