Investigation Brings Surprise Response From TV
Psychic

Griffing, SAL Staff
Last
week the Lightning ran an exclusive report on
ubiquitous TV Mystic Miss Cleo, which showed her
connection to San Antonio "psychics' by way of
help wanted ads in the Express News. We also outlined
the ways in which Miss Cleo's company rakes in an
estimated $400,000,000 per year.

original series of stories)
Besides
getting the most response from readers in the two
year history of the Lightning, some surprising things
happened.
Though
we were never able to contact the actress that plays
Miss Cleo in the commercials, we did received an
unsolicited email on Sunday. Since we never got an
official response, we reprint the letter in its
entirety, as it purports to come directly from Miss
Cleo, complete with her signature. It is addressed to
"Adam," an undercover name we used in our
investigation.
