Came across this site while reading about that fraud Derek Acorah:
http://www.skepdic.com/truebeliever.html
This probably explains a lot about why this clown is still on UK TV::mad:
'True-believer syndrome is an expression coined by M. Lamar Keene to describe an apparent cognitive disorder characterized by believing in the reality of paranormal or supernatural events after one has been presented overwhelming evidence that the event was fraudulently staged. Keene is a reformed phony psychic who exposed religious racketeering—to little effect, apparently. Phony faith healers, psychics, channelers, televangelist miracle workers, etc., are as abundant as ever.'
