Police turn to Occult?
The Workers Voice has learned that an
eminent parapsychologist (whose fees, according
to him, are "not insubstantial"),
was recently brought to Bermuda by the local
police and "taken to places where a
crime had been committed. "
For the infonnation of the layman, a
parapsychologist Is a trained, professional
investigator into the realm of para-normal
or spirit occurrences.
We wonder if his findings hod anything
to do with the recent a c t i v i t i e s of United
States frogmen off the North Shore in Devonshire?
