Paul Sharrat had no luck contacting the late Princess Diana three years ago in a televised s\u00e9ance\u2014well, no luck in the sense that Di refused to speak for the cameras. Sharrat did make some $7 million from viewers willing to pony up a $14.95 pay-per-view fee. That kind of luck encouraged Sharrat to try again<\/a>. Last night, psychics gathered at John Lennon\u2019s favorite New York restaurant in an attempt to reach out to the former Beatle, as cameras focused on the Strawberry Fields memorial in Manhattan\u2019s Central Park and other Lennon sites.<\/p>\n

One participant says he has \u201cno doubt\u201d he heard Lennon break through on one participant\u2019s microphone to call for world peace. Using the phenomenon the psychics call Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), Lennon said, \u201cPeace. The message is peace,\u201d the psychics claim.<\/p>\n

Maybe, as he did in life<\/a>, Lennon was asking to be left in peace. Lennon himself once told Newsweek magazine that he and wife Yoko Ono had tried to communicate with the dead via s\u00e9ance, but today Yoko\u2019s spokesman called the show \u201ctacky.\u201d Sharrat, who calls himself a \u201cdyed-in-the-wool skeptic by nature\u201d declared himself \u201camazed\u201d\u2014perhaps that Lennon would show for only 9.95 per viewer when Di demurred at $14.95.<\/p>\n
