Psychic Detectives #1 of 2
After a terrible tragedy struck Calgary when a missing boy was
found deceased after an intensive two week search, Adrienne
pondered if any psychics had tried to insert themselves into the
investigation. Use your psychic powers to imagine how much time it
took for her to find examples of these alleged intuitives offering
their opinions to the public and the police. She called on expert
Psychics Explained YouTube host and Skeptic Zone reporter Susan
Gerbic to help her navigate this heartbreaking, psychic cinema.
