Sometimes traditional methods of murder investigation fail and law enforcement seeks unconventional ways to solve a crime. One of those unorthodox ways is asking psychics for guidance. And there have been crimes that have been solved with the help of psychics. The Jack the Ripper case was never solved, but a psychic was brought in to try to help. Most people have probably never heard this piece of the mysterious case. But this psychic just may have solved the crime.

Samson in the Bible had superhuman strength and this strength was connected to his hair. His parents were told by Yahweh to never cut his hair and Samson was raised to know that he must never let a razor touch his head. For anyone who knows the story, it isn't Samson's hair that gives him strength, but Yahweh. There is no one else in the Bible that Yahweh showed this specific type of favor towards. Samson was like a precursor to Superman, only he wasn't an alien. He was human. The strongest human in the history of mankind. This kinda makes Samson a superhero.
