SALEM - Lawyers have the bar exam. Accountants have the CPA exam.
Should Salem's fortunetellers have to pass a test of their own to prove they're psychic?
City councilors, hoping to crack down on fraudulent fortunetellers, are trying to define exactly how a psychic can become licensed to set up shop in the Witch City. They want candidates to undergo a criminal background check and to either live or run a business in Salem for at least a year.
Via Swift [1], “Salem struggles to sort out psychic “free-for-all’ [2]”
Funny, Cassadaga also licensed their psychics [3]. Bunny actually asked the Reverend Ben [4] about this, and he said there was a board that certified all the psychics and mediums in Cassadaga.
Go figure.
