It was 1979. I had just moved to Budd Lake, New Jersey, and within a year, I found myself in the middle of something much bigger than I could have imagined.
That story—the one that set everything in motion—is in my book The Life of a Psychic Detective. But this? This is the part you haven’t heard yet…
👮 The Call That Changed Everything
New Year’s Day, 1982. I picked up the phone and called Chief Detective Ross English.
“Ross, I need you to come over. Right now.”
“What is it? Just tell me over the phone.”
“That’s the point. I can’t. Get over here.”
Ross showed up—not alone—but with the Chief of Police, the Lieutenant, two other detectives… and 29 photographs of every officer in the department.
They sat in my living room. The energy was thick. I pointed at the Chief of Police.
“Bill, you had a bug under your desk. You need to keep it there if you want to trace who planted it.”
His face went pale. He had already removed it.
“Can I hold it?” I asked.
He handed me a small black device. I held it, paced with it, and then:
“It was bought in September. At the Radio Shack in Morristown.”
Ross and I went the next day. We found the receipt.
💥 The Sergeant and the Explosives
Then came the photos. Spread out on my couch.
One face jumped out at me.
“Him. The sergeant. He’s stealing guns and ammo from the evidence room. Selling it to criminals. He’s moved to Pennsylvania… he’s hiding more than just weapons. He’s got two barrels of explosives and a plan.”
“How do we catch him?” Ross asked.
“Hide someone in the evidence room. He comes in every day. But be careful—this isn’t just theft anymore.”
The next day? He was caught. Guns recovered. The FBI showed up at his home. Ross called me:
“We’ve got the warrant for the guns.”
“What about the explosives?”
“Damn. I forgot. Thanks.”
That sergeant later struck a deal, served a short sentence… moved to Florida. They kept an eye on him. Soon after?
He murdered someone.
Life in prison.
🔍 Real Work. Real Risks. Real Records.
This isn’t a ghost story. It’s real. The kind of real most people never see. But I wrote it all down—because it matters.
Whether you’re a writer, a spiritual seeker, or someone just trying to understand what’s real and what’s not: write it down. Every detail. The dialogue. The emotion. Even the self-doubt.
Because here’s the truth…
🧠 Trust—but verify.
I don’t just trust my intuition blindly. I want proof. I crave confirmation.
When the pieces fall into place—when the receipts match the hunches—that’s when I feel the real power of this work. That’s when I know I’m not just imagining it.
🧩 Practical Steps for You:
- Write down your own “impossible” moments. What did you feel? What did you know that you couldn’t prove yet?
- Don’t romanticize intuition. Question it. Study it. Test it.
- Start small. Confirm the tiny things—then watch your confidence grow.
🎯 The Takeaway
There’s no curtain here. No smoke and mirrors. This is the real Wizard of Oz moment—and you're invited behind it.
I’m not special. But I am experienced.
I love what I do. And I do what I love.
