Hi Ottawa,
I don't believe that such cases where obtained information has to be later needed to be checked out as accurate (and is indeed accurate) is necessarily rare ( I seemed to stumble across quite a few examples when I was particularly interested in mental mediumship a few years back).
But the skeptic can always suggest that the medium is simply picking up 'dead' stored information as in a kind of cosmic hard drive e.g Jung's collective consiousness via ESP. This muddies the waters slightly in that presumably mediums do indeed use a process of ESP to obtain their readings from living spirits. However, mediums say that they differ from other psychics in that ' all mediums are psychics but not all psychics are mediums'. By this I think they mean that there is a difference between a psychic reading e.g. using psychometry to obtain 'dead' memories from an object such as a watch and connecting with a living evolving spirit.
How do they know the difference ? That is one of the questions being asked currently by the Windbridge Institute. The answer their mediums seem to give is that the information received 'feels' different i.e. it demonstrates intentionality, humour , sadness, love etc. i.e all those things which we believe makes us living, conscious people and them that they are dealing with such people.
