For years, Matt Fraser rejected the visions he’d been seeing and the voices he’d been hearing. “When I was just a few years old, I saw dead people everywhere. I thought the house was haunted. I begged my parents to move.”

It wasn’t until he was well into his teens that Fraser embraced the reality of who he was: a psychic medium who had inherited the gift from his mother, and his grandmother before that.

Once he did so, his world opened up: he began selling out live events, has a two-year waiting list for private readings, wrote a book, and then hit the holy grail for psychics – the reality show where the supernatural meets entertainment in digestible 22-minute segments.

The series, Meet the Frasers, follows Fraser’s daily life with his parents and sister, although it does focus predominantly on his relationship with his fiancée Alexa Papigiotis, a pageant queen from the US state of Rhode Island, from where Fraser also hails.
I want to help people understand that their loved ones are with them every day and that they’re not alone no matter where they are

He was meant to be producing the second season of the show before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. (The first season, which runs on the E! channel in the US, is available on NBCUniversal’s Hayu platform in Hong Kong.)
