Psychic Detectives: Using the Power of the Mind to Solve True Crimes

By Peter Hough, Jenny Randles, Peter Hough

Book Overview

Crime investigation is not always a matter of gathering hard evidence. Just as police officers sometimes follow a "hunch", people with psychic abilities have often supplied invaluable leads to help crack the most baffling cases. Through dreams, visions, telepathy, and a host of other means, psychics have also predicted and tried to prevent many serious crimes. Psychic Detectives allows you to enter their world, revealing their astounding experiences and the often heavy price they pay for sharing what they know.
Police agencies are generally reluctant to admit to the use of psychics during or even after the completion of an investigation for fear of ridicule from the public and other members of the law enforcement community.

Featured cases include: the Kennedy assassinations - Jack the Ripper - Charles Manson murders - Uri Geller's diamond find - David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") - Los Angeles Olympic Games bombing - Moors murders - Peter Sutcliffe ("The Yorkshire Ripper") - IRA bombing, Manchester - disappearance of Lord Lucan - Patty Hearst kidnapping - and many more ...
