* In ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'', when [[spoiler: Ghost Roy]] is trying to find a way of commuincating with the living, he attempts to speak to a psychic, and for a moment thinks she can hear him, but is frustrated when she claims to be communing with the spirit of a dog instead.

** In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS22E6 The Witches of Angel Ridge]]", Hattie Bainbridge admits that she has resorted to information gathered by moles due to, in her words, her gift no longer coming through for her. This plays into the MaybeMagicMaybeMundane situation at the end where she is able to talk down the murderer with the use of his dead lover's pet name for him: did she genuinely make contact with the dead lover or was this another titbit picked up from her moles?

** In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS8E5 Second Sight]]", Barnaby is able to prove that Max Ransom and Jimmy Kirby are both faking psychic abilities. Barnaby also doesn't believe that "Romani Rose" has powers. Subverted when three other members of the Kirby family show the unexplained ability to see future events, see winning gambling numbers and foresee danger. The fact that this psychic talent seems to be InTheBlood helps solve the secret parentage of one of the murder victims as
well.
