If this article's legit I've worked with a least a few people who were channeling 24/7.

That could mean that it is what it appears to be:the person acting as the medium shifts their brain into neutral gear and lets another vehicle do the towing (ie "the spirit" speaking or writing through them).

Or not.

Thank you for this revealing article.

My opinion of Discovery.com has been significantly altered by this article.

Their standards have fallen a great deal.

Making the presumption that those alleged "mediums" were communicating with disembodied spirits is fallacious, at best.

That parts of their brains shut down while they're allegedly "channeling" has been obvious to me since the first time I attended a seance. How else to explain the alleged spirits of dead people forgetting their own names, their native languages, and the nature of their own deaths?

I don't think I'll be channeling any spirits into my brain, any time soon.

Even though I believe in this stuff, I still find it weird discovery channel has an article like this. I guess they're the new history channel...
