Could the CIA be using psychics to track down Osama bin Laden?
As far-fetched as it sounds, the CIA did fund a project, during the Cold War, to see whether the use of the paranormal could help them with information about the Russians.
The scientists in charge at the respected Stanford Research Institute concluded that psychics did have the potential to provide useful data.
Lynne McTaggart, author of a new book about the paranormal, claims that the scientists were right, and the CIA is still using them today.
She talks to Jenni and journalist Joe Nickell of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, about whether this is just another hoax or whether psychics really can solve crimes.
