Psychic strife

A world famous psychic who once worked for the late Princess of Wales has taken the British tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mail to court. Sally Morgan who describes herself as a professional psychic is seeking aggravated damages and an injunction to stop the paper repeating its allegations against her.

Psychic Sally Morgan

The case concerns an article written in the newspaper by the magician and former psychic Paul Zenon which was published on 22 September 2011. The article entitled “What a load of crystal balls!” and alleged that Sally Morgan was fraudulently claiming to demonstrate her psychic powers whilst, in fact, her entourage where feeding her information via microphones connected to a hidden earpiece.

Ghoulish Psychics

Another article (Only the lonely believe in ghoulish psychics) which appeared concurrently repeated these allegations.

Ms. Morgan argues that this caused her “substantial damage to her reputation, as well as hurt, distress and embarrassment”.

To add to her woes the story was carried in the national press and appeared on the internet (although she has only issued the writ against Associated Newspapers which publish The Daily Mail).

If Ms. Morgan wins she could receive up to £150,000 from Associated Newspapers. I wonder if The Daily Mail should consider employing a psychic (ghoulish or otherwise) to predict the likelihood of litigation in relation to any future articles it prints!
