Amherst, NY - After a recent viral segment on E! Science Channel's Ghost Celebrity Matchmaker where self-proclaimed psychic and television personality Brabara Bloodstone claimed to have predicted the coronavirus pandemic in her 1992 book, Animal Angel Babies, some skeptical experts are speaking out.
"This is such an easily refutable myth," Ben Radford explained. "On page 92 of her book, right there in black and white, she predicted a worldwide outbreak of coorsyphilis. It never happened. There have been at most only a few cases, most of which were Matt Gaetz."
Radford, an author of several books on unexplained mysteries, critical thinking, and clowns for some reason, has debunked a number of Bloodstone's precognitive claims in the past, like when she predicted the softening of the Catholic Church's stance on Bigfoot. According to Radford, who is the deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer, a science magazine that focuses on a wide variety of pseudoscientific topics as well as cryptocurrency investment, it is important to remain open-minded when investigating unusual claims. "I don't deny the possible existence of psychic phenomena, and I'm a huge fan of the programming on E! Science Chanel, but I just haven't been impressed with her track record. Like when she predicted a 4th branch of the government made up of randomly chosen citizens, mandatory gay marriage in all 50 states, or allowing some plants, but mostly ferns, to vote."
