The obvious explanation is that Wortfish is not relaying the details of his anecdote correctly, but it's also possible the "medium" is relaying information that has been acquired by other mecahnisms, like cold reading. Which adds to the third with a fourth, and potentially more.
I'd estimate the odds of any explanation other than "intentional lying" to be sub 1% though, personally.
Cold reading only happens when the medium is given information by the person using his services. I only gave his name although that revealed something of the cat's character. I never said I was using a skin ointment, was spending too much time on my desktop or there were shrooms and mold growing on some of the walls in my house. I didn't even come close to divulging such information. Anyway, I have booked a fourth reading and, hopefully, will get more info. Maybe my cat can tell me what happens to the souls of atheists.
