SUDBURY, Mass.- A Massachusetts "forensic medium" says she used her otherworldly gifts to find Babe Ruth's piano at the bottom of a pond.
Sheila Marie of Medway said she was recruited by historical investigator Kevin Kennedy to help locate the piano reputed to have been tossed into Willis Pond in Sudbury during partying decades ago, the Boston Herald reported Wednesday.
Marie described herself as a "forensic medium" who uses her powers to find lost objects and assist in police investigations.
Kennedy said he has long been searching the pond, where the piano was rumored to have been submerged decades ago, so he brought in Marie despite his skepticism.
He said his skepticism was short-lived after divers acting on Marie's directions discovered the piano veneer.
"I was sold on what she is," Kennedy said. "I placed her at a point where (Babe Ruth's) cottage was and had her face the pond. I'm not sure how it works but she gave us compass points, the divers looked and she found the veneer where it wasn't supposed to be."
The veneer pieces are now in the possession of the Sudbury Historical Society, where officials said the piano is likely to be restored and donated to a museum.

Let me guess - its near the dock.
Just about as far as a bunch of drunken ball-players could carry a 500 lb piano and not get wet.
Sitting on the dock of the bay?
Betting it was all about publicity.
Hmmm.. I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa is in there.
Less than a mile from the home of a terrorist wannabee:

Kevin needs another hobby...
Colonel, USAFR
Was she a short medium at large?
She should have gotten a Yamaha.
He's now seaching for Acker Bilk's lost clarinet.
I'm so relieved to hear they've found that piano.
Such a noble mission for one's life.
I wonder what he'll do with his time now?
Well at least one Kennedy will search a pond for something that was lost.
“WHERE’S CURLY’S DESK?!”
Odd, I thought the piano was found and dredged up back in ‘04 in an attempt by Red Sox faithful to remove the “Curse of the Bambino”.
If it was found on the bottom then I too have the “gift”; on to the next mystery.
Okay, they found some pieces of veneer. So where is the piano?
By the way...moving a piano is some kind of serious lifting even if it is a small upright. The steel supports and strings and everything make for an incredibly heavy piece of furniture. It usually demands professional piano movers.
Wait, let me ask my spirit guide where his lost deck chair might be.
He may have found it on his own, had he left the dock.
