SENSE & SPIRITUALITY REPORT #10

The Truth about Psychics

Talking with Helen Palmer

by
D. Patrick Miller

In 1979 an investigative reporter for Mother Jones magazine named Jeffrey Klein decided to write an article debunking what he called “the psychic renaissance.” As he expected, most of the psychic practitioners he interviewed proved either phony or unreliable. But Klein met his match in Helen Palmer, a former anti-war activist from New York who became one of the San Francisco Bay area’s most renowned intuitives. Impressed by reports from Pal-mer’s clients whom Klein contacted at random—most of whom found her insights “stunning”—Klein decided to test Palmer’s abil-ities himself. Challenging her to a “blind reading” of five colleagues on the magazine’s editorial board (who were completely unknown to Palmer), Klein reported that Palmer’s descriptions were “astoundingly accurate.”
