“Top clairvoyant” refuses Skeptics’ $100,000 challenge – Australian Skeptics Inc

Ruthie Phillips, who bills herself as “Australia’s Top Clairvoyant-Medium”, has turned down an offer to be tested for the Australian Skeptics’ $100,000 challenge.

The offer was made to her by Australian Skeptics Inc committee member Richard Saunders on Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise program on September 9.

Saunders is chief investigator with Australian Skeptics Inc, and a judge on Channel 7’s The One psychic challenge series. He had been asked on the Sunrise show to talk about the prize and the fact that no-one had successfully claimed it in 37 years. This followed an article on ABC Online which featured an interview with former Vic Skeptics president Terry Kelly, outlining the history of the challenge and the opportunities it offers anyone with a paranormal ability.

The $100,000 challenge is open to anyone who can prove a psychic or paranormal ability under scientific conditions.
