Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead
Her spiky hair and outgoing manner may make her look more like a top 40 vocalist than a clairvoyant, but vivacious Lisa Williams has known since childhood that she is able to communicate with the dead, a gift that has garnered her a long list of clients both in the United States and her native England. This hourlong series follows Williams -- whose grandmother, Frances Glazebrook, reportedly provided psychic services to the British royal family -- to various American locales as she meets with clients and also offers impromptu readings to strangers she meets on the street.
