Psychics are normally the sorts of frauds who will, for a fee, tell you your loved one is in some sort of a heaven, perfectly fine, loves you and all of that swell stuff.
Which James Randi points out is generic and useless.
But some people believe it and every now and then a psychic will make a try for something not so generic and useless, like in this case in Belize.
Two kids go missing, a psychic says they got eaten by the crocs in the local crocodile sanctuary. The mob somehow forgot that psychics are frauds more suited to seperating grieving families from their money than finding missing children.
Boom, no more crocodile sanctuary. The mob killed 17 crocodiles, destroyed the owners house as well as a lab, and the visitors facilities. The kids are still missing by the way.
Nice business making things up and saying you “just know.”
*Thanks PZ Myers
And maybe the kids were snatched up by swallows and carried to Florida.
Good article and display of the dangers of an altered perception.

Feed the generic negitive filler articles to the crocs.
