I was about 15 minutes into my conversation with medium Theresa Caputo about her new TLC series Long Island Medium when my mom decided to show up.
Caputo interrupts my questioning with, “You’ve lost a lot of loved ones.”
I disagree, saying “I wouldn’t say a lot, but a few, yeah.”
She confidently asks, “Is your mom departed?”
“OK, that’s weird,” I think. After all, most people my age still have their mothers, so she really took a long shot throwing that one out there. But, I acknowledge that my mother is indeed deceased.
Caputo goes on to explain that prior to answering my call she had written down a few things including my name, mother, daughter, young male, 4 and 62. She tells me there’s a “lot of energy” going on, and suddenly I get a little nervous, thinking this could be my doing. Although I didn’t tell Caputo, when I drove to work that morning I had actually talked to my mom in my head [and that’s something I just don’t do. I’m a bit skeptical on ghosts and spirits]. I simply thought, “Hey, if you want to reach out to me I’m talking to a medium today.” And that was it.
Caputo asks: “Where you at the actual passing of your mother because your mother showed me the holding of the hands, which means she wants to go back to the day of her passing. Were you actually there for that moment or did you just miss the passing?”
I gulp. It’s a sensitive topic for me, since I was the only family member who actually wasn’t there when she passed. So I tell her I was not.
Caputo says that my mother is validating that nothing was left unsaid and that “everything and anything you said to your mom was heard.” She then asks? “Whose birthday is now? If it’s not today or the week of it’s usually the month we are in.”
“That would be me,” I tell her. “OK,” Caputo says. “So your mom’s just wishing you a happy birthday.”
I give an uncomfortable laugh and jokingly ask Caputo to tell my mom to hush up, so I can get back to doing my job.
But Caputo — well, maybe it’s my mom — isn’t quite finished. We go on to connect months and dates, discuss that “young male” reference, significance of April and more. She presses on with “Do you remember the year 62? Or could it stand for the month of June and the month of February as far as birthdays or anniversaries?”
“My mom was born in February, died in June,” I confirm.
“Perfect,” Caputo says. “Just validating your mother’s presence and that she took this opportunity. Spirits will take any opportunity to get a message to someone.” Then Caputo’s Long Island accent comes out as she describes my mom as a “chatty catty.” Glad, she’s having a good time.
“Whether you believe or understand what I do, and I don’t mean to be rude, but it really doesn’t matter,” Caputo says. “That’s not what this is about. This phone call is not about you believing in what I do. What just happened right now, what I interpreted it as a beautiful gift you just received from your mother. Knowing that even after all these years of her not being here in the physical world she hasn’t missed out on anything. She acknowledged your children, that she held the children before coming here in the physical world and she’s still with you, and loving and guiding you from the other side. Right?”
Gulp.
What a loaded thought. I pause. I collect my thoughts. “Did I tell her I had kids? Could this seriously be real?” And I simply say: “That’s awesome. Thank you.”
So add me to Caputo’s long list of clients who have been given the gift of closure. Now, as for my sister, she’s really ticked my mom didn’t even give her a shout out! She’ll have to join Caputo’s long waiting list and maybe we’ll here back from her in a few years.
Long Island Medium airs on TLC Sundays beginning Sept. 25.
Information on contacting Theresa Caputo
How can I make an appointment? Do you travel? I have found my Grandfather’s (1740-1840) cemetery but need to know where he’s buried since his stone has been stolen. He was in the Revolutionary War and I want to put a new marker on his grave!! Can you help?
I am a big believer in Theresa and many others who have this gift of speaking to our relatives on the other side. I have yet to hear anyone answer the bigger questions. What is/who is/where is GOD? Are you with GOD on the other side? Do you all eat sleep work? What about the physical form? We buried or cremated the physical body. Plz talk about more interesting questions other than “Please know that your loved one loves you!”

My Daughter was murdered in 2002, she was shot three times in the chest and was found on the side of a highway in Lancaster, Ca. I want to reach Teresa to know if she is alright?
Caputo is a fraud! She was simply cold reading you and nothing extraordinary.
Read this question carefully: Caputo asks: “Where you at the actual passing of your mother because your mother showed me the holding of the hands, which means she wants to go back to the day of her passing. Were you actually there for that moment or did you just miss the passing?”
The last sentence (question) should give it all away!
that’s fine that u believe that but how do u explain the people who have ran into her randomly at say the grocery store and she approaches them and tells them things no one else would know? before she became famous???? she didn’t just start doing this. just a thought.

I am a believer, my sister & I saw Theresa in Phoenix at a dinner. Out of 250 people there she came to us, we got a reading.. I love the show but of course a bit of skeptic too. She asked who had a child before after their Mother passed, My sister was the only person in the room to answer! Now that is an unusual question dont you think. Theresa said things she could not have known. When she asked what does 7/7 mean OMG my Mom’s birthday is July 7, Who is the Person first name R there is an Edna OMG husband Richards Grandmother Edna!! There were other comments that were spot on.. no questioning or searching it was amazing!
it sounds like someone close to her is blowing the whistle. longislandmediumfake.com …. wow. says a close family friend says she is a fake and has evidence.
WONDA, If your so angry with people for having comments or writting about their expierences, WHY do you come to this site?? Are you so angry with the world that you go around just making unkind comments to everyone and anyone? IF you DO NOT like this subject stay off the site!!! Plain & simple.
My mom passed away three years ago and I’m wondering how
she is doing. She suffered from depression and anxiety.
It’s been ten years since my dad passed and I’m wondering how he is doing. Thank You.
Liz
how did she pass
She is actually deceitful and playing with the feelings of the vulnerable and grief stricken. This is despicable. She’s an opportunistic BITCH !Asking “Is there life after death ?”…Is tantamount to asking: “Is there a second chance after suicide ?” It’s mindless and ignorant ! No one ever came back and told you Terri Caputo is communicating with me ! It’s outrageous !People want to believe it desperately, so she feeds their desperations…with a hefty fee ! WAKE-UP….when you are gone…you are gone. Plain and simple !
My mother died in 1993. In 1997, I was driving home from a good time spent in a night club where I stayed until closing. I was tired to begin with and the alcohol I had commsume, while worn off, had left me very sleepy. The two yellow lines on the road I was driving lulled me into an almost hypnotic sleep. I was about 2 miles from home when I started dream that I was driving. My mother yelled in my left ear that I WAS still driving and to WAKE UP! My head shot up off my chest to find me heading for a telephone pole doing almost 60 mph. Thank God I didn’t have time to think, I turned the steering wheel before I hit the brakes so I didn’t flip my car but I was about 10 seconds from death. I didn’t need a medium that night to hear my mother and I most certainly recognized her voice. I will not be as crass as you chose to be by saying ‘wake up’ but perhaps you don’t possess the final answer to the eternal question of life after death. Sometimes it’s better to have a more open minded approach, or at least a live and let live mentality.
