Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Highlights Psychic Failure

from Skeptical Inquirer Audio Edition · host Benjamin Radford

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has generated widespread attention, but the failure of psychics to provide actionable help—despite their claims—highlights a critical gap between asserted abilities and real-world results. Benjamin Radford argues that this silence exposes both the lack of evidence for psychic powers and an ethical inconsistency, suggesting that verifiable, testable predictions are the only meaningful way to evaluate such claims.
