I Want to Believe

So Lisa Williams might not be as well-known here in the States as, say, Montel Williams frequent guest Sylvia Brown. But Williams, star of her own Lifetime reality series where she does things like communicate with the dead or explore haunted houses, has her show broadcasted on three UK networks-plus, she's the daughter of Frances Glazebrook, renowned British medium. And these things are usually hereditary. . . right? So when we see Williams do things like communicate with relatives who have passed away, answer questions to things no outsider should know, a tiny corner of our brains can't help but believe. Besides, she was on freaking Oprah! That surely means something. Stop laughing.
