In 1999, BBC Scotland made a documentary about Gordon Smith called 'The Psychic Barber'
Gordon Smith is an astoundingly accurate medium. He is renowned for his ability to give exact names of people, places and even streets. His extraordinary skills have attracted the attention of university scientists researching the paranormal and countless numbers of journalists and documentary makers.
He was aware from a very young age that he could see things that others couldn’t. One particular incident at the age of 7 was of seeing a friend of the family who had been buried the week before. Seeing ‘ghosts’ and having ‘visions’ were normal for him but misunderstood by those around him.
When Gordon was in his early 20’s, a friend’s (and co-worker‘s) brother died in a fire and appeared to Gordon one night by his bedside. Gordon later found out that the lad had died that night in a house fire. After this occurrence he went with his friend to a Spiritualist Church to see if she might get a message from her brother. The demonstrating medium that evening told him from the platform that one day he would be doing the very same thing. Five years later Gordon indeed found himself standing on that very platform.
Gordon travelled round to various Spiritualist Churches before finding a Development Circle with Mrs Primrose. Thus began a long period of training before he was asked to fill in one night for a guest medium who had failed to turn up.
Up until recently, Gordon still worked as a barber whilst working as a platform medium and became very much in demand. He was befriended by the late Albert Best (a fellow Glasgow medium, and uncle of footballer, George Best) who predicted that Gordon would work in Japan within 5 years of the prediction - which in fact happened. Gordon has travelled to several different countries including Gibraltar and Australia and he works very often in the USA.
Whilst the early brushes with TV were not exactly the best, as Gordon himself remembers in his first book, he came to the attention of the public as a whole during the Everyman documentary, Talking to the Dead. He has since appeared on the Richard and Judy Show, This Morning, Most Haunted, and The Heaven and Earth Show, as well as writing a column for 'Best' magazine, The Daily Record and the Sunday People.
Gordon now tours doing mediumship workshops and events around the world. He is one of the UK’s leading Spiritualist Teachers, and has written several books.
