Now Available: Witnesses to the Unsolved
April 23, 2012
We are fascinated by the use of psychic detectives and mediums to obtain information about historical events that remain mysteries—especially when what they reveal can be corroborated retroactively. And that’s just what journalist Edward Olshaker has done in Witnesses to the Unsolved: Prominent Psychic Detectives and Mediums Explore Our Most Haunting Mysteries. Now available in paperback (and soon as an ebook) for the first time, this award-winning book reads like a cross between Medium and Unsolved Mysteries. Among the cases covered are the deaths of Martin Luther King, Jr., White House deputy counsel Vincent Foster, singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain, Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, CIA chief William Colby, among others. Probing the unsolved are Olshaker’s highly regarded cast of police psychics, including Nancy Myer, Robert Cracknell, and Bertie Catchings; and prominent mediums Betty Muench, Janet Cyford, and Philip Solomon. The result, says Colin Wilsonin his foreword to the book, is “a remarkable piece of investigative journalism.”
