Psychic Abilities
Abilities frequently claimed by psychic detectives include postcognition (the paranormal perception of the past), psychometry (information psychically gained from objects), telepathy, dowsing, and Remote Viewing. In murder cases, psychic detectives will often claim to communicate with the spirits of the murder victims.
As skeptics point out, however, not one of the alleged paranormal powers has been proved to exist.
