Dead Famous: Ghostly Encounters is a British paranormal reality television series that originally aired on LivingTV from June 15, 2004 to June 13, 2006. The program searches for the alleged ghosts of famous deceased people. Curious skeptic Gail Porter and clairvoyant Chris Fleming take a road trip through America looking for the haunted locations where legends of stage, screen, and music reside. Described by the channel as "like a sharper, sexier, and funnier Mulder and Scully", the duo visits places where celebrity spirits are claimed roam: their hotel rooms, diners, gardens, film lots, and theaters. Two of the most exciting episodes appeared in the first season, were shot in Hollywood, California and featured world famous American psychic medium Michael J. Kouri who conducted paranormal investigations and two incredibly active seances in the hopes of contacting Marilyn Monroe and Jim Morrison of "The Doors." Both Chris and Gail were astounded with the evidence Michael conjured up and is exactly the reason they sought out this extremely accurate medium and his work with parapsychological entities. Michael was the personal medium of movie legend Mae West and is known throughout Hollywood as "The Medium to visit with their questions. His website is www.icghosts.com.
