Art Bell welcomes Beverly Jaegers, founder of the U.S. PSI Squad, the only known group of trained psychic investigators who assist law enforcement pro bono. A third-generation police family member and professional journalist, Jaegers describes how she learned her skills not through natural ability but by studying Soviet-era research into human cognitive abilities during the Cold War.

Jaegers recounts her verified prediction of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster five years before it occurred, describing a malfunctioning wraparound ring on a booster rocket. She details the coffee futures case where her remote viewing of a crop failure led an investor to earn nearly two million dollars. She also walks through serial killer investigations where she pinpointed body locations on utility maps and provided suspect sketches to police.

The discussion expands into whether remote viewing can peer through time, the differences between male and female intuitives, and the ethics of using psychic ability for financial gain. Jaegers firmly rejects the notion that profiting from trained sensitivity carries any cosmic penalty, comparing it to any other developed skill. Art asks about the nature of consciousness after death, and Jaegers confirms her belief that life continues in some form based on her field investigations.

Key Moments

  1. Stopping a frog's heart at a distance: Jaegers says the Soviet Iron Curtain dropped on psi research in 1964 after a Russian operator successfully stopped a frog's heart by remote influence, and the operator died from the energy expenditure.

  2. Remote viewing live dinosaurs: Jaegers says her US Psi Squad is currently working with paleontology teams to remote view dinosaurs while alive, helping scientists know where to dig.

  3. Predicting the Challenger O-ring failure: Jaegers describes a sealed-envelope reading on March 13, 1981 in Atlanta in which she saw a wraparound ring on a booster rocket that wasn't seated properly, leaked, then exploded - five years before Challenger.

  4. Coffee futures call from a sealed envelope: On a TV show, a Texan caller mailed in a sealed envelope; Jaegers saw failing red-berry bushes and predicted a crop failure. He invested $24,000 in coffee futures and made nearly $2 million, buying her a house.

  5. Nine years calling the Dow at 90 percent: Jaegers reveals she has run twelve months of Dow predictions every year for nine years for a New York newsletter publisher (Financial Foresight) with a documented 90 percent accuracy rate.
