Do you believe in psychic abilities recently mind readers and psychics have
become more and more popular that's fine if
you're seeing them for entertainment or for fun but when they get involved in
real police investigations things can go seriously wrong luckily
though many of these fake psychics get busted
and sometimes this takes place in front of millions of people
live on tv laurie macquarie this one comes from the tv show inside
edition lisa guerrero a reporter is sitting down
with macquarie laurie macquarie is a famous psychic she
charges people to find out what happened to their missing kids for 400
but during the interview lisa pulls out the photo and says what happened to this
girl macquarie then says i believe it was a
violent person i'm gonna show you something okay okay
yes does this girl look familiar yeah she does
i work this case this is a girl who you said was beaten
and killed okay she doesn't even take a moment to think and simply says this
opinion but that's when lisa guerrero says the
child in this photo is me so really lisa trapped this
psychic with a photo of an alive girl which is her
of course there was no violent passing to this girl as she's literally
interviewing the psychic it's pretty hilarious to see this
psychics reaction as it's instant karma this little girl is me
and you told somebody that she's dead wait a minute you didn't disappear
i'm right here well that's interesting isn't it but it's pretty sad to know
that she must have done this to many parents
who knows what kind of wrong information she's given over the years
sylvia brown in 1999 a girl named opal joe jennings was taken
from her grandparents home when she was playing outside this took place in
saginaw texas and no one was sure where she went
for four years no one knew where opal jones was
unless you asked one woman psychic sylvia brown
she performed a reading for jennings grandmother on the tv show montel
sylvia said she's still alive to jennings grandmother she said that
opal joe jennings had been put into forced labor but
months later it was found that opal had actually been taken out by richard lee
franks opal joe's body was found in 2003 and
examiners said that she'd passed away within minutes of being taken by richard
so this means when sylvia said that she was taken into forced labor this was a
total lie jose chua in 1977 police arrived to a
burning apartment inside they found the body of teresita
bassa and they also found a large blade near her private investigators were
stumped and for months they had no leads on the case
but that was until one cop named joe statula was contacted by a man named
jose chua chua claimed that his own wife remebius
was possessed by teresita his wife channeling the spirit of
teresita called out the name alan showery
so they blamed this man for what happened to teresata but it later turned
out that this was nonsense remebius worked with
both terraceta and allen at a hospital it turned out she simply did not like
allen as she was frightened of him so luckily an innocent man did not go to
prison for nothing but sadly the case remains unsolved to this day
nancy meyer one day an elderly man named sylvester tonette was nowhere to be seen
search parties went out but no one could find him that is unless your name is
nancy meyer nancy meyer a psychic gave some readings about this missing man
but detectives william mclennan and will greenway say that she did not help at
all they said nancy's predictions were very
general all nancy said was that he was near some
railroad tracks and a body of water but that's pretty much the entire area
around where this guy lived carlos assaf psychics for many years it
was thought that carlos assaf had taken himself
out but in 2009 local cops reopened the case
that's because a group of psychics came forward and said what they thought
happened to carlos the psychics said that they saw a lion
or horse and the name tony fox they also say that they believe
carlos was strangled and also made to drink bleach
and gasoline the police immediately set out in a big
investigation they went to carlos's favorite pubs which had the words
lion and horse in their names they also looked into a known criminal
named tony fox but after they looked around the house
they found no signs of bleach or gasoline anywhere
and the cops later said these psychics were making it up
joe power a few years back shannon matthews never came home from
school of course there was a gigantic search party with the community and
police helping out but another man psychic joe power was
also on the case she worked with shannon's mother karen
to try and find her the psychic told karen that shannon was
likely taken from school he also said he thought a man named mick
or mike may be responsible but despite his psychic abilities power
never realized the person responsible was staring him
right in the face it turned out that the mother karen was responsible
canon had hid sharon away that's because she wanted the 50 000 pounds of reward
money she wanted to cash in on the 73 000
reward so really karen is the villain here but
joe powell also got exposed as being a pretty bad psychic
sylvia brown this is yet another bad reading from the psychic
sylvia brown but the worst of her readings have to be this one the case of
holly crewson in 1995 holly crewson vanished from california with no trace
eventually holly's mum gwen de la cruzin met with sylvia brown the psychic at
this point holly had been missing for nearly seven years and they were getting
desperate sylvia brown told gwendolyn that holly
was in los angeles working as a lady of the night
of course this is a sad thing to hear about your own daughter because of
sylvia brown's reading the family often went to la
they went around very dangerous and nasty areas trying to find their
daughter but what holly's parents nor sylvia
brown knew was that holly had already been found
her body was found one year after she vanished in 1996
however she simply was not identified 10 years on she was finally identified and
silvia was put to shame as her psychic reading was fake
sadly though gwendolyn passed on before the body was ever identified
this meant she passed on thinking her daughter was alive and working as a lady
of the night this has to be the biggest stain on
sylvia brown's track record jon catchings one day sherry irely an 18
year old girl vanished one psychic named jon catchings
thought that daryl j wilson was responsible catchings
and a detective went to wilson they tried to say that
they thought he was responsible but this led to wilson taking himself out
this only strengthened the idea that he was responsible but it was later found
that william scott smith was responsible for taking sherry's life
smith said that daryl had nothing to do with it
it turned out daryl was very mentally unstable and a visit from the psychic
and a detective sent him over the edge this is an
example of how psychics can sometimes ruin lives
noreen renee one day arthur herbert was flying a plane but the plane never
landed and he was never seen again after years his sister got desperate so
contacted noreen the psychic rene said that she'd found the crashed
plane which was false she also said that arthur survived
the crash she said that he limped away into the
forest somewhere never to be seen again but he was later found and medical
examiners proved that this psychic was lying it turns out that arthur passed on
as soon as the plane hit the ground but now it's time to make your voice
