Imagine There’s No Heaven…
Its easy if you try… to imagine John Lennon rolling over in the grave when he finds out that a group of people are going to try to contact him with a seance- and are charging 10 bucks each to see this non-event over pay-per-view!
From MSNBC here:
The ex-Beatle, who was murdered over 25 years ago, is the latest subject of a pay-per-view seance arranged by the producers of a 2003 attempt to contact the dead Princess Diana. That show made money but was slammed by critics as hitting a new low in television tastelessness.
People say this is disgusting and I accept that criticism, but we re making a serious attempt to do something that many, many millions of people around the world think is possible, said Paul Sharratt, who heads Starcast Productions, which made The Spirit of Diana. That show drew over half a million U.S. viewers willing to pay $14.95 to watch it.
The Lennon show will air on April 24 on a pay-per-view channel and cost $9.95.
Sharratt himself is a non-believer, and admits to not being totally convinced otherwise after psychics attempted to contact the dead princess in the 2003 program. Nevertheless, it made for some great television, he said.
Sharratt said he chose Lennon because the former Beatle, like Diana, is an icon and was also a deeply spiritual person. Lennon was very interested in the spiritual world. It s a natural follow-up to the Diana seance, he said.
Sharratt said, We are writing to Yoko and contacting friends this week to see if any people associated with Lennon would take part.
The program will show psychics traveling to sites of significance to the former Beatle, including New York s Dakota apartment house, where he lived and was fatally shot by a deranged fan, Mark David Chapman, just over 25 years ago.
The special will culminate as psychics, colleagues and confidantes sit at a seance table for 30 minutes surrounded by infra-red cameras that can capture any presence or spirit that enters the room.
Save your money, America. I hate to give away the ending, but there will be no spirit contact, and any evidence of such will be faked for sensational purposes. No word as yet on whether or not Mark David Chapman will be allowed to see this pay-per-view.
