Since Sally Morgan now has her Star Psychic show on ITV1, I thought I would bump up this article we wrote about her recently.

Just a day after we posted the below article on Sally Morgan, she has now changed her site and removed all of the "police cases" that we highlighted.

This is proof if ever was needed that we really can make a difference, however small, sometimes in life you have to challenge the claims made by these people, and in the end be confident that we can make a difference.

So well done to Sally Morgan for removing the claims, how about an apology now?

I will leave the article up as a reminder of the claims that Sally Morgan made.

So here we have Sally Morgan, the latest 'psychic to the stars', there seems to be a new one every week. I had a look at her website, www.psychicsally.com, and was not totally shocked to find she claims to be used for:

Quote:

Now, it seems to me that if you're a 'rising star' in the celebrity psychic world, you need to claim you've solved a few unsolved murders, found the odd missing body and "assisted the Police". Unfortunately many people do not actually look into these claims.For example, Joe Power, the Countries most un-psychic psychic claims to have 'assisted' the Police in a murder enquiry.

His assistance was to turn up at the Police Station with his views about what had happened. The Officer in the case was unable to see him (I wonder why) and he left a statement at the front desk for which his manger claims he was "given a receipt". Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you 'assisting the Police'.

So, on to Morgans claims. There was a handy link on the website to her "special purpose police and other investigations", I thought I had better take a look at them.


1) Claims to have talked to a very dead Reggie Kray.

Now this was not a special purpose Police investigation, this was for a TV documentary, so not really an investigation at all. Kray, we are told, confesses to her, a murder previously unknown, giving the identification of the victim, and the location of the body. This is massive news considering the interest in the Krays.

Well no, actually it isn't, as there has been no follow up to this startling evidence that I can find. The only confession Reggie gave was on his deathbed, to the murder of a man, possibly Teddy Smith. Strike one.

2) Psychic Sally Uncovers Company Thief.

Now I'm hoping that someone reading this will be able to help me out here. I have searched and searched for a a company called 'Sunbeam Gear' that distributes designer sunglasses, I cant find one, or reference to one, other than on Morgans site. Apparently it is at this company that Morgan claims to have worked her magic.
Once again this has nothing to do with the Police, but rather cleverly worded:

Quote:


Now doesn't that sound like they were advised by the Police to see her?

The Company, whoever they are, had a stock loss problem with designer sunglasses going missing. Apparently Morgan had her doubts about a number of members of staff, presumably the ones wearing shades, and together with the executives of the Company, hatched a cunning plan to find the thieves. The plan was to have Morgan

Quote:

yep, complete with clipboard.

Quote:

So she "saw" how it was being done. Dressed up as an employee, she witnessed members of staff stealing stock.
Thats not a psychic, thats a Loss Prevention Investigator, I know, Ive been one. Strike two.

3) Sally Discovers Dog Lost Underground Alive:

The Police call in Sally to find a lost dog. Actually no, of course they bloody didn't.

Yet another 'non-Police case'. Sally walks around a bit to try and find a lost dog. She doesn't find it but says it'll come back. It does. Amazing, truly amazing. I'm a convert... no, I'm not... Strike three

4) Psychic Sally Pinpoints Body of Girl Murdered Eight Years Ago:

Although Sally says that the names in the case have been changed, this is the Helen McCourt case in the late 1980's where Pub Landlord Ian Simms was convicted of her murder although her body has never been found. Tony Stockwell has spouted some nonsense about this case in the past and the amazing Joe Power has also made claims regarding helping the Police find her body.

Morgan makes some remarkable errors about a case she claims to have assisted with.

Quote:

Simms was not arrested trying to dump her clothes. Mens clothes and towels were found the day before Police even spoke to Simms, it was a month later that Helen's clothes and bag were found. Simms was arrested after he gave a Police statement and an earing was found in the boot of his car which was believed to have been one of Helen's.

Quote:

Things she couldn't possibly have known? She describes a belt buckle in the crack of the floorboards. The Police, as previously mentioned, found an earing in the boot of Simms car. They later found the back 'butterfly' clip from an earing in the flat above the pub, although it could not be shown to match the earing in the car.
I'm confused, where does the spoke of a belt buckle come into all of this...

Quote:

Some prefer to let matters rest?? Helen's Mother was quoted in 2002 as saying:

Quote:

Yet Morgan has 'pinpointed' the location of Helen's body?

In typical psychic manner, Morgan has made unsubstantiated claims and some serious errors. But hey, its fine to make yourself a celebrity reputation using the death of someones daughter, isn't it?
