Couple years ago, ABC ran a story about a "faith healer" in Brazil, and were very one-sided, that is, talking up the "miracles" this fake in Brazil claimed to do.
Now they run this story about a woman who has "visions."
And once again the story is totally one-sided.
Pam Ragland was watching a TV report about the search for an 11-year-old California boy missing in a rural town miles away when she felt something wasn't right.
Ragland said she began crying and then a haunting vision popped into her head: A young boy lying on his side with his eyes closed.
The boy, Terry Dewayne Smith Jr., wasn't sleeping and by the time Ragland's visions stopped, she had led detectives to his decomposing body behind his house in the Riverside County community of Menifee.
The remains had been partially buried in a shallow grave under a tree more than 60 miles from Ragland's Orange County home.

Woo in popular culture in much more benign than the woo than makes war.
