Psychics, Crime and the $100,000 test
About this episode
Adam Shand explores the role of psychics in crime-solving and the challenges of proving psychic abilities.
For more than 20 years, Adam Shand has asked detectives across Australia: has a psychic ever genuinely helped solve a crime? In this episode, Adam speaks with Richard Saunders from Australian Skeptics about the $100,000 prize awaiting anyone who can prove they possess psychic abilities under controlled conditions. The money is real—but can anybody pass the test? Together, they examine the claims made by psychics, the techniques that can make their predictions seem convincing, and why families and investigators may turn to the supernatural when conventional leads have run out.
