Robert Cracknell is a natural psychic, who had his first psychic experience at the age of seven years.
He came to prominence in the early ‘70s, achieving academic acclaim from the Oxford University Society of Psychic Research when he scored an 80 percent accuracy rating in an experiment in precognition and remove viewing.
He achieved notoriety by openly challenging the Spiritualist establishment’s claims that all mediums are controlled by guides and that their abilities are ‘gifts’.
As his reputation grew he became fascinated by criminal mysteries and became involved in several, assisting the police by giving psychic clues. His notable successes include the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’ case, the Janie Shepherd murder enquiry, to name but two; all described by Colin Wilson in the introduction to this book.
As a result of his psychic involvement in helping the police, during the ‘70s, he earned himself the title of ‘Britain’s Number One Psychic Detective’ and found himself fast becoming a household name!
He has also lectured extensively and has been the subject of numerous television interviews and profiles.
Bob Cracknell presently lives a less active lifestyle in the beautiful Mediterranean Island of Cyprus – the birthplace of Aphrodite – with his wife, Jenny, devoting his time to writing and enhancing his spiritual awareness with periods of total silence and isolation.
