Dixie Yeterian

Dixie Yeterian was a pioneering figure in parapsychology and metaphysical exploration whose life’s work beautifully bridged spiritual intuition and empirical investigation. Holding an M.A. in psychology from University of California, Santa Barbara, she possessed a rigorous academic foundation that uniquely informed her extraordinary career, allowing her to blend practical psychology with transcendent esoteric knowledge.

As a renowned psychic detective, Dixie collaborated closely with law enforcement agencies across the US, employing her exceptional extrasensory perception to help solve seemingly insoluble cases—ranging from missing persons to homicides. These successes are vividly chronicled in her landmark 1982 book, Casebook of a Psychic Detective (Stein & Day), a compelling blend of true crime and metaphysical insight that showcased her ability to deliver tangible results where conventional investigative methods failed. Her work assisted detectives and demystified psychic phenomena, establishing her as a highly trusted bridge between science and the intuitive world.

Dixie’s profound influence extended into the public spotlight during the 1970s and 1980s. She hosted the weekly television show Aquarius on CBS, where she delved into parapsychology alongside scientists and fellow intuitives, and engaged listeners daily on her talk radio show on KLOM. Dixie was featured in numerous documentaries, including the BBC’s Strange But True, which host Michael Aspel noted was “possibly the most astonishing story we’ve ever featured.”

A dedicated educator, Dixie taught parapsychology courses at the University of Alaska and guest-lectured at universities across the nation. She led private classes and seminars for over five decades. Her first book, Exploring Psychic Reality (Crown Publishing, 1976), emerged directly from these teachings.

Honoring a sacred promise, her daughter Shannon Yeterian and devoted friend Marty Ross Vining have brought her literary legacy to full fruition. Working with extensive historical transcripts, audio recordings, and unfinished manuscripts, they have preserved the absolute authenticity of her literary estate, including her newly completed book, Exploring Soul Evolvement. They continue to develop Dixie’s rich archive into future book releases, ensuring her profound spiritual curriculum remains accessible for generations to come.
