THE TRUTH ABOUT PSYCHIC DETECTIVES
11 videos
This is an 11-part talk given by Benjamin Radford at an event sponsored by the National Capital Area Skeptics on April 14, 2009.

Psychic detectives seem to be everywhere on TV. Many of them claim to find missing persons, and solve cases for police and the FBI. But how good is the evidence for their claims? Drawing on a decade of personal investigations and case studies, Benjamin Radford will reveal a side of psychic detectives that you won't see on Medium or Larry King Live.

This segment contains discussion about an episode of Psychic Investigators entitled Vision of Murder. For copyright reasons, we cannot include clips from the show.

Benjamin Radford is the managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer Magazine.

I am glad DonExodus2 linked this in one of his videos. The Vaccines lecture was great, and I was surprised to see so many people believing that, for some reason, raw mercury is in vaccines (when in reality it is ethylmercury, something much different). Just another example of the media propagating misinformation.
