Witnesses to the Unsolved: Prominent Psychic Detectives and Mediums Explore Our Most Haunting Mysteries [ペーパーバック]

Witnesses To The Unsolved: Prominent Psychic Detectives And Mediums Explore Our Most Haunting Mysteries by Edward Olshaker examines the use of psychic phenomena in the form of "psychic detectives", "remote viewers", and mediums who have assisted in the solution of homicides and the searches for missing persons through the use of case examples as the deaths of Vincent Foster; Martin Luther King, Jr.; Kurt Cobain; and others. From the mystery surrounding the death of Secretary of Commerce Ron Borwn, to the fate of former CIA chief William Colby; to the violent deaths of financial magnate John Markle and his family. Especially recommended reading for students of Metaphysical Studies, Witnesses To The Unolved offers fascinating insights into the use of psychics and psychic phenomena as a means of solving crime in more than one-third of major police departments across the United States today.

Former New York Times writer Edward Olshaker has years of experience as a journalist interviewing psychic detectives and spiritual mediums about some of the most well-known cold cases in history. In this book,?Olshaker covers many of the prominent mysterious deaths of the last few decades, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., White House deputy Vincent Foster, rock icon Kurt Cobain, and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown.

The supposed suicide of Kurt Cobain is the most intriguing unsolved case in the book. How could someone with three times the necessary lethal dosage of heroin in their system shoot themselves with a shotgun? Psychic, astrologer, and healer to the stars Philip Solomon's psychic communications with Cobain seemingly proves the theory that Cobain had actually been murdered, although the motive for the murder and who committed it is still shrouded in mystery.

Another captivating section reviews the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and discusses the potential for a government conspiracy. This includes a lengthy section on who the assassin James Earl Ray was and whom he was working for. Olshaker also takes a detailed look at Dr. King's alleged psychic inclinations and his uncanny ability to sense danger.

In addition to insights, such as that more than a third of police departments across America use psychics to solve crimes, Olshaker's work also emphasizes that there is indeed evidence of soul survival after death.

If there are any problems with Witness to the Unsolved, it is in the selection on mysterious deaths. There seems to be some sort of underlying political agenda to a majority of the homicides/suicides reviewed. Where are the in-depth review and psychic evaluations of some of the most famous controversial deaths in modern history, such as John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, Jim Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix?

A 2006 finalist for the Independent Publisher Book Award and an Independent Book of the Year, Witness to the Unsolved is a fantastic treatise on the world of psychics and psychic phenomena as it relates to solving crimes. In fact, Witness to the Unsolved could be utilized as a textbook for students of metaphysical studies and for police academy cadets on how psychics can aid law enforment in solving mysterious crimes.

This highly original book reads like a true-life version of the hit series "Medium," interweaving the insights of top police psychics/mediums with the extensively researched public record, as the author assembles the pieces of each case like a jigsaw puzzle. The still-unsolved assassination of Dr. King takes on a whole new dimension here with the exploration of four alleged coverup murders (of a witness, a journalist, and two judges found dead while reviewing James Earl Ray's appeal), and the hotly debated Vincent Foster mystery takes an unexpected turn. The psychic detectives are among the world's most highly regarded, including two recently seen solving crimes on Court TV's "Psychic Detectives" and the Biography Channel's "Psychic Investigators." The Foreword by Colin Wilson, recounting his own journey exploring psychic phenomena, is also eye-opening. The book's conclusion includes a revealing look at the amazing (yet under-reported) results of recent laboratory testing of mediums at the University of Arizona and in the UK. Ironically, in a book that probes some of our most tragic mysteries, I ended up comforted by evidence of the reassuring reality revealed in the work done by skilled police psychics and mediums--that we are infinitely more than mere mortal bodies, and that the souls of these famous victims--and our own souls--are immortal and indestructible.
