There were so many adults in the 90s that believed esp was real.

A lot of the media at the time was very pro-"Mysticism" and things of that nature. Typically there were two characters, a true believer and a skeptic, and the skeptic was always vilified with the believer turning out right at the end. X-Files, one of the most popular shows of the 90's, ran on this.

Police used psychics to help solve murder cases and Ms. Cleo was seen as legitimate.

Were you a child in the 1990s? The police were not using psychics with any regularity as their evidence cannot be introduced in courts.

I dont think many believed a TV commercial psychic had any powers.
