Electric People Episode? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone know which episode it was in which Unsolved Mysteries did a short episode on people who could turn on and off electrical appliances or televisions just by sitting near them? I'm trying to find out the term that is used for these people.

I remember that one. I think the term you are looking for is psychokinesis.

The term I was looking for wasn't psychokinesis but it was more like "scanners" or "spanners" or something like that.

That too.

I'd prefer calling them con artists

Thanks for giving me the clue I needed to find the term for the electric people! I just typed "psychokinesis" in the search box and the second or third subject in the search box was what I was looking for! The term for these people is "Sliders". I only had the clues that it was something like "scanners" or "spanners" and that I thought I saw it on Unsolved Mysteries. I'm now convinced that you can find anything on the internet!
