Psychic Kids TV show. Was Fred really dead?

Question

.....Many American last names were phonetically interpretive before the record laws took effect in the early 1900's. Record researchers run into this alot (example Smith, Smithe, Smythe) The finalization of grammatically spelled last names during the turn of the 19th/20th century was effected by Federal Law. The odds are very low, given the place, relation of Fred to both Catherine Dolan and Augustus and demographics for that time period that they are different people.

Besides, both Fred's have the same birth year and parents, not to mention the same hometown.

That said, you've found your Freddie/Fred E.

Answer 1

There are a lot of people with the same name around, but actually those two Freds don't have the same name.

The Freddie that the girl saw in Psychic Kids had the last name Stuart. but the second one you have found has the last name Stewart.

They have different spellings so they are different people.

Answer 2

The chances of him having the same name is pretty good.  In our immediate family, there is Laura, Lora and Lori, we were all named for our grandmother and her sisters.  There are 3 of us who carry the same middle name, so if someone says Marie...we all turn around and look.

I would consider checking the paper records before I had a final decision concerning Freddie, they are much more accurate than an internet search.

Answer 3

Ya i watched that episode.. i was thinking like what are the chances of finding records.. but who knows maybe there really was another freddie with a catherine as his mother.. maybe thoughs were the popular names back then.. i'm not 100% sure if the show is real.. but some things are a little freaky.. i am a big believer on ghosts though since I am a teenager who see's them often ..

Answer 4

It was probably different people.For example Down south in Mississippi many families will carry a certain family name down (in my family we have ten Ella's....wierd i know) but that is how they used to do it back then in 1800's and early 1900's. It is very likely that they are related, I don't usually trust the internet sites, even though they are a good reference, I would rather go to the library and look in the actual directory just to make sure.

Answer 5

The girl (I think her name is Faith?) said that his name would be spelled Freddie Stuart, I do believe not Fred E. Stuart, so Idk. The internet is a valuable resource, but not 100% accurate.

Answer 6

Regardless if Fred is dead or not, Psychic Kids is a total crock pot of a show, its fake, a big sign of that is all their little missions take place at night. ..

Answer 7

could have faked his death?

Dunno.,

Answer 8

yes fred was really dead. you can edit anything via the web.

Answer 9

Hmmm....

I saw that episode, and it seemed to me that the girl thought it was the right Freddie.

I don't know for sure though.

Answer 10

Maybe it was a different Freddie Stuart. Or if a spirit was giving this information to her...maybe they lied. You can't always trust spirits.That's why people need a lot of discernment when dealing with them. Even then you can be fooled.

Answer 11

On shows like this,they cherry pick information.That and clever editing makes it seem real.The producers of this show are exploiting the parents and the kids.These parents,unless they're all in on it,kids and adults.They are possibly doing serious harm.

Great job on the research by the way.
