Derek Acorah - UK TV Psychic

Derek Acorah is the stage name of Derek Johnson (born January 27, 1950).  He is a popular but controversial British cable and satellite television personality, who has come to fame as a psychic medium.

His early life was spent in Liverpool where, according to his several books, he first discovered his psychic abilities and became interested in Spiritualism. Derek Acorah says that in this period, he first contacted his spirit guide, 'Sam', said to be an Ethiopian from approximately 1,500 years ago, with whom Derek was friends in a previous life. (Some of Derek's beliefs appear to reflect Kardecism as well as Spiritualism.) He pursued a career as a footballer for many years, playing for Glentoran in Northern Ireland, before emigrating to Australia to continue to pursue his footballing career.
