Sight Seers is an investigative documentary series that follows the work and travels of a unique pair of clairvoyants with a unique way of seeing the world. Mark Joly and Laura Byrnes have teamed up to probe mysteries and offer concrete solutions to what appear to be paranormal problems.
Mark was born blind but ironically from an early age discovered he was endowed with second sight through a unique form of palm reading. When he touches the hands of others he gets flashes of images and symbols that he has learned to interpret.
Laura discovered her ability to communicate with spirits in childhood. She honed her psychic gift over the years and eventually made the decision to leave her career as a schoolteacher to pursue her passion. Like Mark, Laura also has a visual impairment. But she’s able to correct her impairment by wearing special glasses that give her 20-20 vision.
The Sight Seers complement one another – the more senior Mark reads people and Laura reads places. Mark needs Laura as his tour guide and eyes, and the rookie Laura looks to Mark, a veteran psychic with much wisdom and life experience, to share with his younger business partner.
Mark and Laura use their special psychic talents and turn to help from outside scientists and experts to investigate paranormal mysteries, uncovering clues and making arguments that either prove or dismiss the paranormal. To help shed light on the mystery are experts in dream analysis, psychologists, geologists, meteorologists, private investigators, historians and parapsychologists.
Together they’re a crack team of investigators who tackle mysteries and solve a series of fascinating paranormal problems on Canada’s East Coast. Each case calls for a slightly different approach and roster of experts, depending on the details of the story. At the end of each episode they either have a clear opinion or with the results of their investigations the viewer can decide for themselves what scenario is most probable.
