Do you believe in psychics? Perhaps some of you identify as a psychic yourself or have visited one.

I personally believe there are those with knowledge that can’t be explained, and history is full of bold and unusual claims. Some of them are even true.

For this episode, we’ll visit a time in history when that was the case - when the claims of one psychic medium were proven to be correct.

Just a few days before Christmas, popular British musician Kirsty MacColl was vacationing in Cozumel after completing some work for BBC Cuba. The mother of 2 was enjoying a snorkel session at a popular coral reef arranged by a local tour guide. Suddenly a speed boat headed towards the tourist-filled, no-boating zone. With her son directly in the path of the boat, Kirsty made a decision that would save a life, devastate the musical community, and call into question the safety of tourists in Mexico.

Welcome to the carriage, travelers.
