Allison DuBois

Allison DuBois is an American celebrity psychic/medium. She was born on January 24, 1972, and is based in Phoenix, Arizona.

DuBois' published books include Don't Kiss Them Good-Bye (Simon and Schuster, 2005) and We Are Their Heaven (Simon and Schuster, 2006).

DuBois is perhaps best-known as the real-life Allison upon whom the central character in NBC's television show Medium is based. The television series was widely promoted as being inspired by a real-life psychic's police work. However claims that DuBois worked for the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Police Department have been refuted by those departments. The fact that NBC apparently misled viewers caused much dismay among skeptics. Eventually NBC quietly removed any reference to DuBois' supposed real-life work from their official Medium website.
