- History
Real Name: Dorothy Margaret Allison
Occupation: Psychic Detective
Place Of Birth: Jersey City, New Jersey
Date Of Birth: December 29, 1924
Background: Dorothy Allison, a housewife and psychic from Nutley, New Jersey, has assisted police departments in hundreds of investigations. The authorities believe her abilities are genuine and have been amazed at the details she has come up with for their cases. Sergeant Don Vicaro of the Nutley Police Department said that seeing Dorothy's predictions come true was the most amazing thing that ever happened to him.
Dorothy has lived in New Jersey all of her life. She has four children, and her husband, Bob, is an engineer for a construction company in Manhattan, New York. When she was fourteen, she had the first indication of her psychic abilities when she had a vision of her (apparently healthy) father's death. In the vision, she saw a mourning wreath on their front door. Three days later, he died of pneumonia.
Dorothy was understandably upset when her prediction came true. She believed her abilities were "evil". However, her mother, who was also psychic, told her she had a gift. She said Dorothy did not need to worry and would not always see bad things. She said Dorothy would go far with her "talent" but told her not to use it for profit.
Dorothy's mother also warned her that she needed to be courageous enough to stand alone and stay strong in the face of skepticism. Despite her mother's reassurances, Dorothy spent years wishing she did not have her abilities. At one point, she became a "parlor psychic" and read people's futures.
Then, in 1967, Dorothy had a detailed dream about five-year-old Michael Kurcsics, who had disappeared after falling into a creek in Nutley. She went to the police and accurately described his clothing and the area where his body was later found. Following her accurate prediction, police departments contacted her, asking for help solving cases.
Since the Kurcsics investigation, most of Dorothy's cases have been homicides, and many of the victims have been children. She often keeps photographs of the victims and stays in touch with their families.
