Allison DuBois

Allison DuBois (born January 24, 1972) is an American author and purported medium. DuBois claims she used her psychic abilities to assist U.S. law enforcement officials in solving crimes, forming the basis of the TV series Medium. Those officials deny it.

Her powers as a medium were tested by Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona. Schwartz claimed that his research supports DuBois's psychic abilities, while skeptics have pointed out flaws in both DuBois's claims and Schwartz's research. She claims she has visions, of both the past and the future, but it is mainly the dreams that allegedly help the police solve crimes.
