Could a psychic solve the case?

[Robittybob1]

A recent report may help to shed some light on why people continue to believe in psychic powers. The study tested believers and sceptics with the same level of education and academic performance and found that people who believe in psychic powers think less analytically. This means that they tend to interpret the world from a subjective personal perspective and fail to consider information critically.

 "According to a US Gallup survey, for example, more than one-quarter of people believe humans have psychic abilities – such as telepathy and clairvoyance."

"Believers also often view psychic claims as confirmatory evidence – regardless of their evidential basis. The case of Chris Robinson, who refers to himself as a “dream detective”, demonstrates this.

Robinson claims to have foreseen terrorist attacks, disasters and celebrity deaths. His assertions derive from limited and questionable evidence. Tests conducted by Gary Schwartz at the University of Arizona provided support for Robinson’s ability, however, other researchers using similar methods failed to confirm Schwartz’s conclusion."

This is often IMO because the testing methods are nothing like the situations that the premonitions occur.


"When professed abilities are subject to scientific scrutiny researchers generally discredit them. This was true of Derek Ogilvie in the 2007 TV documentary The Million Dollar Mind Reader. Investigation concluded Ogilvie genuinely believed he possessed powers, but was not actually able to read babies’ minds."

Did Ogilvie ever claim to read babies' minds?

It's like reading the minds of babies!
I can just remember the way they pull their faces when they load their nappies with poo.

Edit
It wouldn't have bothered me as an adult had I seen it about me, I would have laughed, but I shouldn't have imposed my standards on my daughter.  You are right, Rob

[Robittybob1]

We didn't even need to see our daughters face when she was a toddler.

All of a sudden this little voice would pipe up as she said , "Dirty game" and this incriminating bulge would appear.   She was a very early walker and talker

She beat her Grandpa to saying it.   

Choice subject, this, Rob

Should you be talking about your daughter like that?   That's so funny but also hard to believe.   Clever kid, I must say.

None of my children did anything like that.

Apologies for interrupting the debate. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas despite the awful year past endured by everyone to various degrees. I also want to thank everyone who has taken part in the debates also to varying degrees and to varying degrees of naughtiness at times. It would be a dull forum without all these little diversions and banter we often see. Thank you all for taking part.

Please go safe wherever you are around the world.

An American man took her? Well I never!

"I know she is at college in Minnesota".   I'll pay a bit more attention to those that are living in the USA and Minnesota in particular when they join my Facebook group.

[Minnesota received its name from the Dakota (Sioux) word for the Mississippi's major tributary in the state, the Minnesota River, which means “Sky-Tinted Water.”]

I think that in some ways Carols findings are amazing.  Thanks for posting them Anthro.

Many of her early psychic output follows what I sent to OG.  All of my work was thoroughly researched before sending and it is good to see her psychic revelations following a similar direction.

Her drawings are naïve, but there is a certain something about some of them that reminds me of peripheral people in the case.   I find her drawing of Madeleine in 2012 to be way off the mark because she has her facial proportions wrong, but the drawing that she shows in 2008 could very well be what Madeleine looked like then IMO.

I have spent ages trying to find the spot where that bridge with a (?)railway line crossing it and steps down to a bay is, but to no avail.  It looks like it is at the entrance to a fairly deep river.   Because I haven't found it, doesn't mean that there is no such place, just that I haven't found it yet.   And, of course, maybe never will

Hi Sadie, have a look at this small island, called Berlengas. It is to the north of Lisbon. Pictures of the bridge resemble Carol’s sketch. In my opinion.

My, you are working hard … and on holiday too!   I have already had quite a good look at Berlangas  and whilst the bridges have something about them, I don't see the railway and the steps up.  Do you?


Am a bit tired atm and have a big day tomorrow, but give me a nudge and I will try and spend a bit more time looking there afterwards.

When flying to Faro, or the Canaries, that island and the Peniche peninsular are always way marks to me.   I love watching the PT coast go by, because as we fly over, I think of friends I have out there and special places
