He is highly respected researcher of psychic phenomena and has written many books, articles and documentaries on the subject of Remote Viewers in solving crimes. The following example is typical example of such cases. Personally, I am always amused by the usual run of skeptics who, mumbling incantations of materialism and fraud, seek to explain the obvious away.

Sixth sense helps solve case
Clairvoyant worked with officer to find two women

Bob Bridge,
Hoosier Times

Steve McClain, a veteran conservation officer with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, is a realist.

The Vietnam War veteran is a no-nonsense type of guy, not one to dabble with science fiction or the occult.

"I've always been a skeptic when it comes to people with that self-proclaimed sixth sense," he said. "When it comes to investigating a case, I believe good, hard police work is the best way to find out what happened."

But when good, hard police work came up empty in the case of a missing Bloomington woman back in December 1992, McClain relented and turned to the mystical magic of an Illinois psychic.

"Eileen Wall was a graduate student at IU," McClain recalled. "She left home and we found her car wrecked against a tree on Shadyside Drive."

The car was empty, with a large limb resting atop it.

"We looked everywhere for her," McClain explained. "We didn't know if she was injured, had fallen, or if she'd been picked up by somebody."

An extensive search, including helicopters with infrared scanners, boats equipped with sonar, dogs, divers and more than 300 volunteers, failed to locate Wall.

"We had no real leads," McClain said. "Her father had returned to the East Coast and we kept in contact every few days. He told me he was considering contacting a psychic and wanted to know if I knew one.

"I had just read about a lady in Illinois who had worked with the local fire and police departments over there. I talked to one of the guys at the fire department over there and he was convinced this woman could help us."

The woman was elderly and had trouble communicating on the telephone.

"The guy from the fire department offered to come over for a couple of days and help translate," McClain recalled. "The lady couldn't travel, so we talked to her by phone."

When McClain contacted the clairvoyant, she didn't waste time with introductions.

"She was all business," he said. "I provided her with the basics of the case and then she informed me she was in the lady's body. She said she was in a cave-like setting with rocks above her. She said she was situated in the fetal position, and a current of water was running across her legs."

McClain's skepticism soared.

"When I told her Monroe was a lake and there wouldn't be a current, she shut me up and insisted her information was correct."

McClain called her again the next day from the Moores Creek picnic area and said the woman accurately described where he was standing.

"Then she went back to the running water and cavern thing," he recalled. "At that point, she was frustrated and I was frustrated."

McClain received a call from dispatch informing his "article" had been located near Salt Creek ramp.

"When I got there we found an elderly lady laying in the fetal position in a deep ravine," he said. "There was a small stream of water running over her legs and a large outcropping of rock above her head."

It wasn't Eileen Wall.

"When I got home and called the lady in Illinois she stopped me in mid-sentence and said, 'Dear God, I was in the wrong body.'"

Once the clairvoyant regained her composure, she told McClain she could help him locate Eileen's body. She instructed him to return to where the car had impacted the tree.

McClain called her from the site and she began speaking as if she were Wall.

"I'm driving down the road and I don't feel too good," she said. "I just hit a tree and something has fallen on my head.

"I'm hurting. Now I'm running down a hill."

The woman told McClain to proceed to the shore.

"I called her back from the lake," he said. "We were just off a small inlet.

"She asked me if there was a large rock in the lake, and I told her there was. She asked me if there was a man standing next to a boat, and I told her there was.

"At this point I was somewhat intimidated. She was sitting over there in Illinois, yet it was like she was standing right there next to me. She could see everything I could see."

After a few moments of silence, the psychic said, "I want to come up but I can't. Somebody help me. I want to come up."

Nearly a month and a half after the day she crashed her car, Wall's body was discovered floating near the inlet.

"She had been wearing a bulky sweater and it appeared as if it had been snagged on an underground cable or some kind of projectile," McClain explained. "We think the sweater eventually worked itself free, allowing her to float to the surface."

McClain said he experiences an eerie feeling each time he reminisces about his conversations with the clairvoyant.

"I can't explain how she did it," he said. "She just knew things she shouldn't have been able to know.

"I still don't have a lot of faith in clairvoyants, and I still believe good, honest work is the best way to solve a crime or find a missing person. But there's no arguing this lady had some kind of gift. There's just no other way to explain it."
