Jacqui Poole Murder Case

[mstricky]

The Daily Mail headline is.............The Psychic Detective .......and continues.............The baffling murder of this barmaid was solved by a medium and for the first time science has actually confirmed that her intervention was genuine and can be proved beyond reasonable doubt

Some details from Dr. Bruce Greyson:

He was in the front row of the audience at the Royal Society of Arts for a debate between Rupert Sheldrake and Lewis Wolpert, the British skeptic. During the question-and-answer period, Monty rose to speak in support of Rupert, and in mid-sentence his voice faded and he lost consciousness from a heart attack. Two doctors in the audience immediately tried to resuscitate him, but he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. He was 79 and had had a triple bypass. He died as he would have wished, championing the cause of survival.
"

I don't suppose anyone has had the decency to contact Monty, since his death, to find out what the rest of the sentence was going to be.

Sounds like the Daily Mail is keeping to its usual high journalistic standards.

Daily Mail....quote:

This month the respected Journal of the Society for Psychical Research published the results of a major investigation into the tale that Christine Holohan revealed to the police officers. Guy Lyon Playfair and Montague Keen, the researchers behind the paper, say it is the first case of a murder being solved thanks to the intervention of a psychic that can be proved beyond reasonable doubt
Sources in the National Criminal Intelligence Service say officers regularly turn to mediums to help them solve the more difficult cases in the hope, however slim, of discovering fresh leads.

The mail has just spent a fortune luring back from the Express Jonathon Canier. Fleet street's highest paid astrologer.

It is therefore hardly surprising that they will dress up as news a story promoting psychic tosh.

Max, you appear to have inadvertently inserted the word ‘respected’ into you last post.

Cainer is in the latest Randi newsletter as I expect you know. He's always been one of the most verbose of the tabloid astrologers. Blinds with pseudo-science. A lucrative career obviously.
I'm suprised the Daily Mail hasn't found a way to blame the Poole murder on asylum seekers though.

Sue
what have you got against Shih-tzus?

Sue
what have you got against Shih-tzus?

Nothing at all. They're adorable. I used to clip dogs and cats and horses to trim them up. I've shaved a few bald because they're so matted, tarred, etc there's no hope of getting the hair clean and unmatted. When you're done, all you get is eyeballs and a little nose left over. Cute little fuzzy dogs... those are the best to trim... they're so neat and tidy looking when you're done. Unless they jerk at the last moment. Then they might end up with an uneven cut.

A Shih-tzu?

Isn't that a zoo with no animals?

(Sorry, someone might not have heared it)

Getting this thread back on track, I am surprised there wasn't much reaction to the fact that science has comfirmed that a dead barmaid passed info to a psychic about her murderer.

max,

...I am surprised there wasn't much reaction to the fact that science has comfirmed that a dead barmaid passed info to a psychic about her murderer.

There isn't much reaction because it hasn't happened. The Keen/Playfair report has been discussed here, and an alternative (non-paranormal) explanation has been offered. There is no proof here at all, just the usual collection of "interesting coincidences" that lead people to conclude "couldn't just be chance! - Must be something in it."

Next.

You are in denial. The Mail published the outcome of the inquiry into the incident and reported that SCIENCE has confirmed that the dead barmaid spoke from her grave. Now you asked me for some sort of proof of research , well, surely you must now take a scientific finding to be reliable or is it a no no for a tic tic again because your mind is closed

 

[thaiboxerken]

Because "Mail" published that science confirms it does not make it so. That article fails to support this assertion with scientific evidence. There is no science in the article.
