Dominic Ponsford 20 June 2013

The Daily Mail has agreed to pay TV psychic Sally Morgan £125,000 in damages as well as legal costs over a 2011 story which accused her of being a charlatan.
The settlement comes ahead of an expected libel trial in the long-running case.
Her solicitor Graham Atkins read out a statement at the High Court this morning outlining the terms of the agreed settlement.
He said that Morgan was a psychic who has performed over 600 shows at theatres and venues and also appeared on television.
Following a theatre performance in Dublin in 2011 an article appeared in the Daily mail "in the context of a general attack on psychics as being charlatans", he said.

Attacks on Sally Morgan backfire

 The Australian lawyer who investigates the paranormal, Victor J Zammit writes about psychic Sally Morgan who is suing a British newspaper for libel: 

"Some time ago - as the regular subscribers will know - I tried to defend Spiritualist Sally Morgan, the highly entertaining and energetic British mental medium, against unfair and vicious attacks in the mainstream press in the UK. Like many mental mediums Sally has a successful track record for doing brilliant work in providing people with personal experience of survival after death. I challenged the critics and others to look at the evidence, 'see for yourself', 'investigate yourself'.What happened? At the time Sally Morgan was in crisis. She had some 30 bookings planned for the U.K. After the unfair attacks - and after people investigated Sally 's mediumship- the bookings in different theatres soared to some 80 all over the UK between now and November this year! Some of the bookings are already SOLD OUT! Well done Sally! See http://www.sallymorgan.tv/tour -for dates"

Princess Diana's psychic sues for defamation

TV psychic Sally Morgan sues Daily Mail for defamation
 26 January 2012

By Sarah Limbrick

TV psychic Sally Morgan is demanding damages of £150,000 from Associated Newspapers over a Daily Mail story accusing her of scamming a vulnerable audience.
The article, published on 22 September, was headlined: “What a load of crystal balls!”
It alleged Morgan pretended to have psychic powers when she was in fact simply repeating instructions from members of her team via a microphone and hidden earpiece, according to a writ lodge at the High Court.
Morgan, who was Princess Diana’s former psychic, claims the story caused substantial damage to her reputation, as well as hurt, distress and embarrassment.
The story was widely reported in the national press at the time but Associated Newspapers is the only publisher named on the writ. The story in question was an opinion piece by the magician and former psychic Paul Zenon.

Princess Diana's psychic answers critics

A psychic who was regularly consulted by the late princess Diana has hit back at allegations she was assisted when giving readings during a public demonstration of clairvoyance by a man feeding her information from outside a hall.

Sally Morgan said : ‘I totally respect cynics and sceptics, as if we don’t ask questions we don’t get answers,’

‘However, I will not stand by and be accused of fraudulent behaviour, from inaccurate sources of information. It’s completely and utterly balderdash"

Following a presentation at Dublin's Grand Canal Theatre an audience member named 'Sue' claimed to have heard a man’s voice from the back of the auditorium relaying information to the psychic superstar on stage.

When the second half started we could clearly hear a man’s voice coming from the window behind us,’ she told RTE radio station in Dublin.

She claimed the voice would, for example, say ‘David, pain in the back, passed quickly’ and a few seconds later Sally would claim to have the spirit of a ‘David’ .
