Allison DuBois (born January 24, 1972) is an American author and purported medium.
DuBois has claimed to have used her psychic abilities to assist U.S.
law enforcement officials in solving crimes, forming the basis of the TV series Medium.
Her powers as a medium were tested by Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona.
Schwartz claimed that his research supports DuBois's psychic abilities, while skeptics have pointed out flaws in both DuBois's claims and Schwartz's research.
A show called Medium is based on Allison's experiences and she is a consultant for the show.
She claims she has visions, of both the past and the future, but it's mainly the dreams that allegedly help the police solve crimes.
