Psychic Detectives

As some readers may know, I've posted some essays on my Web site detailing the evidence for psychic phenomena (they can be found at http://michaelprescott.net/essays.htm ). Some folks get pretty exercised when they hear anyone speak in support of such claims. A while ago, one outraged emailer - saying that if ESP were real, it would be used in crime solving - challenged me to name a single psychic who ever worked for law enforcement. Having never studied this aspect of the subject, I had no ready answer.

If only Court TV's documentary series Psychic Detectives had been airing back then! It's a serious, levelheaded look at real cases in which psychics provided key information that led to the solution of major crimes. And it's a hit, as it deserves to be.

Psychic Detectives airs on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM, Eastern Time. Check your local listings for the time in your area.

Intelligent, groundbreaking shows like this one are putting skeptics on the defensive - and I say it's about time.
