Colin Fry

Colin Fry was a British spiritualist medium and television personality who gained prominence in the late 1990s and 2000s through his psychic stage shows and TV appearances. He hosted several paranormal-themed television series including "6ixth Sense with Colin Fry" and "Psychic Private Eyes." As an author, Fry wrote multiple books about spiritualism and the paranormal, including "Life Before Death" and "The Message: Seven Steps to Hope and Healing." His written work focused on his claimed experiences communicating with the deceased and his perspectives on life after death. Fry began his career as a medium at age 15, performing readings under the name "Lincoln" before later using his real name professionally. He toured extensively throughout the UK with his stage shows until his death in 2015 at age 53. His approach to spiritualism combined elements of traditional mediumship with contemporary entertainment, though he maintained that his abilities were genuine. Fry's work sparked both devoted followers and skepticism from critics who questioned the validity of psychic phenomena.
