thought this was interesting Proxy Sittings Proxy sittings are when a person goes to a medium on behalf of someone who is not present at the sitting. In such cases the medium and the proxy sitter may not know who the reading is for or anything about that person. In this case it is impossible for the medium to use cold reading or any previous knowledge about the person in their reading. When a medium can give verifiable information about the actual sitter and deceased individuals known to them, it is very strong proof of psychic functioning and when the medium can give specialized knowledge known only to the deceased it is very strong evidence that they are communicating with the spirit of the deceased.
More information on proxy sittings can be found in "The Mediumship Of Mrs. Leonard by Susy Smith" www.enformy.com/LeonardTOC.htm in chapter V "Proxy Sittings:" www.enformy.com/LeonardCh05.htm
The scientific research report "Anomalous Information Reception By Research Mediums Demonstrated Using A Novel Triple-Blind Protocol" by Beischel and Schwartz describes the use of proxy sittings a triple-blind protocol: veritas.arizona.edu/papers/Beischel%20EXPLORE%202007%20vol%203.pdf
