Medium

A person who claims to communicate information from spirits or deceased people.

Mediumship traditions vary widely. Cold reading and high-probability statements can look impressive without paranormal cause.

This term is not auto-linked in posts because “medium” is also everyday English (e.g. medium rare). Find it here when you need the paranormal sense.
