Psychics and Missing People

This is one of the longer serious threads I have read. No serious derailments or the like. I think KellyJ needs to get an award or some such thing for this thread and the other things she has done.

Well she can have a big pat on the back from me.

I second that - big round of applause for Kelly.
 
The "Carla Baron" on Dead Famous and Fear is the "psychic." She lists it on her website. It may or may not be the "Carla Baron" in Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-rama. I've seen that movie--pretty forgettable, but it does have its share of unclad female bodies. If anyone cares to watch it, it's fairly easy to find.

Does anyone think one of these women is Carla Baron? I'm pretty sure the actress in front is "Carla Baron."

If so, embarassing pictures of her are as close as your local video store.

This site has a photo of the psychic Carla Baron.

Here is a video montage of psychic Carla Baron. In one portion, she channels Jim Morrison!

There does appear to be a resemblance to the soft porn actress.

Forum rules prevent me from writing what I imagine a psychic reading on the set of a porn movie would be like.

Only a predator psychic could make a job in the porn industry look respectable.
 
Gosh, you could make a great skeptical porn that makes fun of psychics.

'Yes, I see a big development in your future....ooooooo yeahh.....' :D
 
I'm not trying to start a fight. Just my $0.02 and I'll shut up about it.

Whether or not Carla Baron used to be a soft-core porn star really shouldn't be an issue. It's no more than poisoning the well. While the morality of acting in adult films may be an issue for some, the focus should be on her actions as a psychic. Refute her claims of having "helped find" missing people because that's what's important. "Oh yeah, and she used to be a porn star" is just petty, in my opinion, and says nothing one way or the other about her abilities to find people. I'm not defending her as a psychic, mind you, but if the point is that psychics do more harm than good, then let's focus on the psychic aspect and less on previous work histories that don't have anything to do with it.

Okay, I'm off my soapbox. Rant over.
 
Interestingly, her career hasn't really changed much. Before she was making sleazy B-movies with supernatural themes. Now she's making sleazy "based on a true story" movies with supernatural themes. I haven't seen Dead Famous or Fear but apparently she was playing a fictional psychic who happened to be just like "real" psychic Carla Baron. Now if in younger days she showed more skin, that doesn't bother me. She started getting jobs in a genre (B-horror) that pretty demands it, and eventually the clothes came off. I wonder if she thought it was a natural transtition from the pretty girl who gets butchered in the third act to the mysterious, somewhat more mature but still attractive, psychic who warns the pretty girl (and gets butchered for her good intentions)--and at some point, decided to play the part in real life.

She has apparently had more success acting for desperate people than she did acting for late night movie audiences.

All this assumes it really is the same woman, of course.
 
TSG has made a valid point. We could go on and on about Carla Baron's past in porn, whether it's true or not, but the reality is that the Carla Baron we need to be discussing is the one who's subjecting people searching for missing loved ones to emotional blackmail.

Enough is enough.
 
I don't really care if Baron was a soft porn star or not. My level of respect for her was at the bottom before, so it can't go any lower. As mentioned, I would only use this info as a very last resort for a family who was considering using her "services". There are some Christians who would ignore that the bible clearly states we are not to delve into this type of thing our of desperation. They may not be able to ignore that, coupled with what they would most likely deem as a huge morals issue. They would not want to associate with someone who did that for a living.

Who knows, I may never have to use it, but I did want to have it checked out for the record. I only have one family I assist right now who recently worked with her. I emailed them a couple of months ago, asking about the outcome, and they did not respond. Since they already have her guesses in hand, there is no reason to discuss anything else. At some point in time, I will ask them again about the outcome.

Just as an FYI for me, I'll check out all the links provided this evening when I am at home.

Thank you for all the kind words and support, everyone. It really means alot to me.

Since Delphi Ote is our cheerleader, I vote to have him wear a skirt and ponytails. Wouldn't we all like to see that? ;)
 
tsg is 100% correct. Pointing out Carla Baron's alleged previous work in soft core porn films is one of two things. If correct, it is an ad hominem attack, and has no bearing on her current career activities. If incorrect, and there is another Carla Baron, it is potentially slander. I would avoid mentioning it to anyone for any reason.

Ah, but if it is the same woman, it does have bearing on her current career activities. Not the nudity, but she is still acting in the supernatural genre. She is using her acting talents to advertise herself as a psychic, and vice versa.
 
Okay, Kelly. I have written an article about the dialogue between Dawn and the psychics. Emailed to you.

I looked up some stuff on the murder of her friend which I put in the article, but I will need Dawn to verify I got the facts straight.

Thanks!

The email is on its way to Dawn to proof. Thanks, Luke T. Your writings are superb, as always.
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned on the forum yet or not, but here in Vancouver a young fellow (Graham McMynn) was kidnapped a couple of weeks ago. He was found, confined by his kidnappers but safe and not very badly hurt, by the police yesterday. AFAIK, no psychics were involved.:)

Amazing on both counts:

No Psychics

He wasn't killed

I don't hear as much about the Canadian cases since we just work in the US, but there are so many that it's impossible to know about all of them.

That's great news! I look forward to seeing it.

I came across this post from a family member of a missing person. It was on a little-used private board on which I posted the link just in case. I'm glad I did. We've started a dialog now.

You continue to make a difference in people's lives, Kelly. Bravo!
 
Yes, whether Carla Baron was a porn actress or not, it has no bearing on her "psychic abilities."

It's like the people who keep going on about John Edward's career as a ballroom dance instructor - so what? Is there some sort of "acceptable" career path for a psychic?

As has already been said, it is, at best, an ad hominem attack.

Kelly, if you wish to save this (assuming it is true) as a "last card" to use with families who would be offended by such a career choice, that's obviously your call. Just know that it has no skeptical/logical basis as a criticism.
