Sensing Money

Ooh, there's an expose that'll blow the psychic scammers out of the water! An article asks if Sensing Murder is full of sleuths or scammers?

Interesting points are raised. The Sensing Murder Psychic Challenge is raised, although of course it's no surprise it hasn't been taken up. ($20,000? I'm sure those psychics make far more than that chump change... and I'm sure they have very good reasons for avoiding it, even ignoring the "circus" aspect of it.) (No mention is made of the $100,000 more general challenge.)

Vicki Hyde talks about the basics of sounding like you know what you are doing: be flattering to your customer, and use cold reading techniques if you can't get hot ones (and I'm sure there are hot reading psychics and mediums out there...).

The article also points out that nothing has really come of these investigations. I'm not surprised families are contact creating company Ninox, if nothing else their cases are made more public and that might make someone else come forward with evidence, which is all for the good. But aside from that... [And note that I fully agree that the police should be the ones making the full investigations, from a legal point of view.]

One case is mentioned of when a psychic helped. I managed to find this post which relates the article. A few things I note: no specifics are given on how specific the psychic was, the police already knew the area and other Alzheimer's patient had been searched for there, and it took two searches to find the items (admittedly one was late Friday). The eventual location was "bank of the river". Hmmm... just how much detail was given? Did the psychic know the area was where one had been found before? Did the psychic merely trigger a thought?

And is this the only case that can be cited of a psychic helping???? Surely if psychics are all so powerful, they would be solving cases all over the place...

Psychics have been going on for over a hundred years, claiming all sorts of powers. None of which has been confirmed in proper lab tests (check out Uri Geller for many improper lab tests). And note: I don't care how nice these people are. Scientific proof is what matters, and that is definitely missing.

While I should get rid of this spam, the post it commented on is just an amusing link it made, and its own made link doesn't work, so I'm leaving it there...
