UNITED STATES. One of the most impressive TV documentary series being shown right now is “Psychic Witness” which not only recounts the role played by psychics in solving various US crimes, but also contains testimonies from police officers regarding the value of that assistance. Most were initially sceptical but changed their minds when confronted with the accuracy of the psychics’ statements or predictions.
This series, in turn, has led to various newspapers and publications interviewing the psychics involved and carrying other stories about their gifts.
It will also provide much-needed ammunition to silence those sceptics who dismiss the role of psychics in crime-busting and even maintain that police never make use of psychics.
 Carol Pate, one of the psychics featured in the TV series, says she has been helping law enforcement agencies with her gift since the age of 12. In doing so, she takes on the conditions of those she is tuning into. “I have been stabbed, shot, hit by a train, had my head chopped off, mutilated,” she revealed.
“Psychic Witness” and other TV programmes have dealt in depth with one of her cases in which a 17-year-old boy, Tyson Efird, was abducted by two men in 1991. Two days after the kidnapping his family turned to Pate for assistance.
Holding a picture of him, the psychic told the boy’s mother that he was alive.
Pate recalls: “I saw them playing Russian roulette. I did see sexual tortures some of it. I saw the room he was being held in, felt it, felt his fear.”
Tyson’s mother, Anita, confirmed that the psychic kept saying the word ridge and she got them to within half a mile of where it was subsequently discovered he had been held hostage – in Ridge Road.
The teenager eventually persuaded one of the men to let him go. When told by his family what Pate had told them, he was able to confirm the accuracy of her statements. “It kind of brings cold chills up your spine if you think about it,” Tyson comments. “How would one person know this: only things I knew? And the other two men that held me? It’s just really unbelievable how a person would know that.”
Despite that, he still has doubts about psychics in general. “But I believe in Carol Pate,” he adds.
