AN attempt to channel messages from the dead at a Leeds hotel will be filmed.
Hairdresser-cum-medium David Traynor hopes to link members of the audience at the Village Hotel, Headingley, with lost loved ones next Tuesday (8pm) .
He will be followed by a film crew from Moving Eye Productions, of Leeds, which is making a documentary about him.
This is the only meeting on a major tour which will be filmed. His other bookings this month take him around the North and to Colchester and Berkshire.
Following the tour Mr Traynor, who is in his early 40s, will fly to Long Island, New York, where he expects to meet families of people killed in the 9/11 attacks.
Barry Wilson, Mr Traynor's manager, said: "The documentary came about in a strange way. The production company was making a film about glamour girls and one of the models revealed she had booked a psychic reading with David.
"The team included it in their show and were interested in David and decided to take it further. They hope the documentary about David's gift will be shown on television."
Mr Traynor visited the US earlier this year and impressed his hosts who have invited him back. "Many of the American psychics are not able to deliver the messages that he can," said Mr Wilson.
Mr Traynor has been making public appearances for five years, but continues with his day job. He has written two books - Friends In High Places and A Bridge To Angels.
A spokeswoman for Moving Eye Productions said: "Our guys have found it extremely hard to doubt David's gift. They have witnessed many events and countless people who insist they have now found peace through the messages they have received from loved ones in spirit."
