Keith Charles, the medium, has been dubbed ‘The Psychic Detective’ by many, so it seemed a fitting title for his book. He gained this name from his extensive work with police department who draft him in to use his divining skills to shed light on difficult cases. Keith has just returned form the US where he has been helping the Philadelphian police and Chatshow were lucky enough to track him down and give him a questioning. Apparently he knew we were coming, hee hee.

Keith started out in the police force. In Part 1 Jo asks him how his extra communication skills related to his police work. At a young age Keith didn’t know what a medium was but sensed that he had special abilities. He tells us about how he came to tell his superior on the police force about his ‘hobby’. And how his colleagues initially ribbed him but then came to him for advice! Part 2: Keith has worked with many police departments using his psychic skills, including those in Australia, Japan, UK and Philadelphia, a trip which he’s just returned from. He tells us more about his travels and discusses how he deals with the sceptics while working on cases – he’s more than happy to be judged on his results! Keith acknowledges that psychics can’t solve crimes but can supply the police with more information to work from.

In Part 3 Jo asks Keith why the police are turning to psychics to gather information, particularly on murder cases. They discuss the tragic loss of Keith’s son Mathew and how he sometimes helps his dad when working with children. Although Keith obviously finds it very frustrating that he can’t hug Mathew, he’s glad he can feel his presence. Keith offers advice to people who become obsessed with contacting deceased loved ones and Jo exposes him to the cheesy dips!
