Spirit Talk & The Professional Medium Issue 2 | Page 6

There seems to be little or no
doubt that US law
enforcement agencies use
psychics in the line of duty.
They freely admit the fact
publicly. It even generates
ratings for television stations
by airing such shows such as
P sych ic D etectives and
M ediu m .
Out here in Australia we are
not quite as Hollywood.
Australian television had a
fleeting foray into crimesolving spooks with Sensing
Murder but even that may
have been viewed as
trivializing serious crime and
personal loss in order to
showcase the talents of a
clairvoyant. Whilst it is true
that a lone wolf police officer
may consult a psychic or a
medium privately for direction
and clues; the boys in blue as
a collective like to play their
tarot cards a lot closer to their

chests; and are admitting
nothing.
It seems Mediums that
provide information to the
media are one of the main
reasons why our Police aren’t
so receptive to Agent Afterlife
getting in on the crime solving
action.

Ego thrusts the reader into
the spotlight and more often
than not without apparent
regard for an ongoing
investigation or the feelings of
those involved in the actual
case; particularly the victims.
As the world at large seems to
take the spiritual a little more
seriously though, should the
Australian Police?

There are no available
statistics that refer to the
number of well-meaning
psychics, authentic or
attention seeking, who
approach Police or victims of
crime because they think they
have the answers. There are
regular missing persons or
similar cases floating around
social media asking for the
help of mediums and one
wonders what sort of person
would post for the world to
see on Facebook that
someone’s child is dead,
murdered, raped or otherwise
never coming back. It’s news
right? Those who reported on
the Holocaust or World War 2
weren’t slammed for their
insensitivity so why should it
be inappropriate to post on
Facebook the last moments of
a personal life according to a
medium? Because it’s
personal and unsubstantiated
that’s why.
