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
Hi,Mrs.Caputo i watched your show tonight 4/1/2012 and it said you could win a free reading well i would like to try that i would like to have you read my father . He passed before we could get to the hospice facility he was in and i was the one they called to inform everyone else. they {hospice }didn’t tell us until we got there he had already died and i to this day feel like if i had just been faster or done something different he would have NOT died alone i blame myself all the time !!!!I was always a big part of his care taking and now my mother is not well this has been a hard road for her it’s taken a toll on her health.I would be gratefull to hear from you i live in Ohio. Sincerely yours,Christy Eubank
Mrs. Caputo I would love to have a reading. I have people that have been in my life that I would love to conntect with. You probably don’t come out to the west coast much, but should you I would love to hear from you.
For those of you who can not seem to ‘get over’ the lose of a loved one, know that they are always within ‘reach’; they are with you when they are not busy elsewhere or with someone else…guiding, nurturing, or just peeking in to see how they/you are. I’ve been giving psychic reads for a very long time and have never, ever charged anyone, not one single penny BECAUSE it is truly a gift. I’m always hesitant to read someone I do not know because of comments just like many here, who do not believe, think I’m crazy or nuts, but when someone comes up to me several months after a spontaneous read and tells me they went to the doctor to check the mole on their back that I told them to get checked and that that information and them actually going to the doctor, saved their lives…then it is worth the ridicle of those unbelievers. KNOW and BELIEVE that your loved ones are near…talk to them!!! Just say hello! Smile at them…then proceed with your life and let it go!!! Let THEM go for the time being! Give it a try and see if your life isn’t just a wee bit better…have some faith….!
Kelley, I would really like to talk to you. I am looking for closure. cynlis at hotmail dot com. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kelly really wanna tlk with you missing my mom never got closure plz contact me
Some people have more insight than the average person. I’m not a medium nor can I read your mind, but I ‘feel’ different energies and can tell when something is wrong…(with family members or close friends). I also know who’s on the phone B4 the caller ID tells me. I’ve been this way my entire life. I once had a psychic boss who could read my mid and we had a great working relationship because she could anticipate what I was doing and thinking etc. There’s some people who just have different gifts than others.
I’m pretty sure that people have the right to spend their time and money the way they want. I’m pretty sure that rather than you going & spending your money at a restaurant you could donate that money to starving children but, should anyone tell you to? No. SO in the same right, if someone wants to spend their time or money to hear something that helps them get through a difficult time.. who the hell are you to judge? DO you spend most of your life worrying about how other people live? If it doesn’t involve you, get over yourself, your opinion just isn’t that important to someone who doesn’t even know you. I don’t go to mediums or anything, never have but why should I give a S*** if someone else does? sheesh
Get lives you pathetic people.
It’s sad that people are looking for Teresa Caputo, here. I think these are the people she preys on, vulnerable people who need some sort of validation that their loved ones are okay.
I just saw her on Anderson Cooper and she is such a fraud. It really makes me sad that people like her make a living off grieving people. Ticks me off that people want so badly to believe in this.
Believe me, it is so easy to find out information about people before she gets on stage. Check out sites that show you how it’s done and don’t fall for this. Use your money to give to a hospital like St. Jude.
wow you are quick to judge people aren’t you. I don’t believe for a second she preys on people and that she’s a fraud. Some people who are grieving, like myself, would not mind a little bit of closure, real or not…she helps peoe move on and gives them hope. I don’t know, if you don’t have anything nice to say maybe it’s better to keep your mouth shut. Why do you waste your time watching her on TV and the. looking her up to say mean things? You should save your energy and use it in a more positive way, you seem like such an opinionated person who just can’t wait to make a smart ass comment about anyone or anything….YOURE SAD.
No, just being realistic. I’m sorry you have no friends to turn to as you grieve.
Information is knowledge. That’s why i sometimes watch this stuff. but, yeah, it is your money. Waste it any way you’d like.
I must clarify, allegedly, a fraud.
THIS IS NOT THERESA’S WEBSITE SO SHE IS NOT GOING TO SEE YOUR COMMENTS. I just wanted to let yall know that and say that I support and understand the views of both the believers and the skeptics. Im on the fence myself; I could see it either way.
Dear Teresa. A lot is happening in my life. I feel like a tortured soul. I could really use your help. Thank-you so much Cheryl
Folks, get a grip. You don’t need this self important scam artist to be comforted. watch a really good show called “I survived, Beyond and Back”. Caputo went to school to learn how to do what she does. She’s using technique to gain attention, self importance, and money. G-D does not work through people like her. your deceased relatives have crossed over and cannot and do not want to contact you because they know you will be there too someday. Be patient and have faith.
So she ASKED you if your mom was deceased. She ASKED you if you were there. Then she said a few common things that would be applicable to MOST people.
Psychic, or was she interviewing YOU?
how to contact teresa caputo the webside doesn’t work and is not a phone number either

Her facebook page says her website went down last night and they are working on getting it going again.
Her website should be up and running again. She has a facebook page and she wrote that the site is down.
BTW “The BEST way to contact Caputo is through her new website: http://www.theresacaputo.com” DOESN’T WORK. The website declined to show this webpage

Having been watching your show & the entire marathon on Sunday. I felt my mom & dad during several segments and know they are with me. Would love to chat with you. Do you ever come to NJ? Left a vm on your phone. Please respond. What are your rates if I come to your home & if you come to mine?

Hi, how can i get in touch with Theresa? Is there a phone number? THE WEBSITE DOES NOT WORK! Thanks, Lee Ann
Hi Theresa, I’ve been watching your show and believe you could be in contact with my mother, while watching your program last night I cried because I want to have some contact with her. My mother passed away in 1985 unexpectedly and I was young, have had many problems still dealing with her death because she was so young. I live in Michigan, but would come to you if you would be so kind to give me a reading so I can find out why. Thank you so Much!
Ciao
