Default Sensing Murder

Last year we had a new show go to air in Australia and New Zealand called 'Sensing Murder.' The producers interviewed 500 clairvoyant/mediums in both countries and selected the best ten.

With each segment viewers were shown a re-enactment of an unsolved murder reconstructed from information available to the public. Producers then selected 3 psychics from outside of the area and without giving them any information at all, sat them down separately in a room with a photo of the victim placed face down on a coffee table. The physics each gave all the information they could get before turning the photo over. They were then given a map of the country and asked to pin point the location of the murder.

After locating the murder scene, the physics were taken to the area and asked to physically take the camera crew to the exact place. Psychics were purposefully chosen who had very little of no knowledge of the area eg; Aussie psychics solving NZ murders and vise versa.

All three psychics selected for each segment were interviewed and taken to the locations at separate times and had no contact with each other. The detail and correlation of the information they were able to give was incredible. Some were far more exact than others, being able to give names, dates etc. All were able to accurately describe the victim, state how they were murdered and locate the exact location of the murders.

At the end of each show the information given by the psychics extended far beyond what was publically known and what was known was confirmed. The producers left the added information with the viewers.

On Tues night I watched a follow up to the show. The producers had been approached by a man who was a member of the skeptics society and was a expert in body language and worked for the police sitting in on interviews and detecting when people are lying (as a human lie detector). He was invited to join the crew during a session with a psychic.

The case they'd selected was a bit different. The police report stated that the lady in question had died after falling downstairs and being exfiated on her own blood. The lady's son (an extreme radical) had protested for many years that his mother had been murdered and the police were with holding. again the pschic was given no information, only a photo placed face down.

The skeptic was interviewed at the start of the show and said he had watched the series and could duplicate whatever the so called psychic did using cold calling. He sat in the room with the psychic, a camera man and sound man. Within five minutes he was completely baffled. After going on location he was a confused emotional wreck. He said the experience had turned all his beliefs inside out and he had no choice to believe that the psychic had in fact communicating with dead lady.

During the second half of the show they did a follow up on the previous cases they'd investigated. In some incidents local police who'd watched the show made contact with producers and were interviewed thanking the psychics for information that lead to arrests. In all the cases they stated that the psychics gave information that was only known to the police directly involved with the case. Interestingly some police (mainly in the larger cities) refused to comment or become involved.

Oh I should mention that during the session with the skeptic, the psychic stated several times that she didn't believe the lady had been murdered and was confused as to why she'd been called in. Her final conclusion was that the lady had died exactly as stated in the police report. The lady's son who'd been campaigning against the police for 20 yrs refused to accept the psychics findings even though he could personally verify evidence she gave that wasn't in the police report.

Just goes to show that some people will believe what suits them to spite clear evidence to the contrary. But good on the skeptic for his honesty.
Sorry this is so long but I just had to share.

Steve taped an episode of that show for me to watch but our DVR erased it before I could watch it. But maybe I can catch it again. Sounds intriguing.

It's a shame that programmes on tv like sensing murder, are really designed to sell advertising in the breaks. It kind of takes the edge off a sharp subject and undermines the sincere and authentic abilities of the clairvoyant personalities involved. I just hope that public views and reactions don't cloud the minds of those of us with this true ability.

I'm in Auckland and find that my fellow local New Zealanders are actually impressed with all of it.
Film and television producers seem to have alternate agendas on the topic.

Or do they? What do you think?

This is tangental, but the original producer of the Sensing Murder show(s) was, in fact, the same person who produced "The Secret", Rhonda Byrne.

I just find it interesting. Thought someone else might, too.

I can't say I notice the ads. Don't watch much TV and when I do ad breaks are my chore time (dishes and stuff) so they're kind of wasted on me.

Hi, glad you enjoyed the story.
The mediums on 'Sensing Murder' have certainly raised the bar for the rest of us. I've experienced a ground swell of clients since the show went to air and they expect me to be as good as those guys. We all work differently with our own specialty areas so some clients may get more than they bargained for but its all good when it gets people thinking outside the square they live in.

Its great to meet others expectations of this. It's even better to go the extra distance for them, I totally agree with you.

Once we can accept that who we are is not our physicality it opens a whole new frontier of 'who the 'bleep' are we.' This life we are living today is one episode in a much larger movie. Wouldn't it be cool if our governments through heaps of money at uncovering that mystery instead rocks and gases hurtling through space.

Oh there's more...
Then the question would be 'how many other forms can we take?' and are there other ways to exist that are better than this form. Rather than trying to find another planet man can exist on after we've destroyed this one. The question may be 'is there a way we can change form and relate to each other better?'
