Dutch journalist, skeptic and critic of parapsychology
Piet Hein Hoebens (29 September 1948, Utrecht – 22 October 1984)[1][2] was a Dutch journalist, skeptic, and critic of parapsychology.
Hoebens is most well known for debunking the claims of psychic detectives.[3] He worked as a Dutch journalist and investigated claims of paranormal phenomena. He was a staff member for the newspaper De Telegraaf for 13 years and a member of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
He was an associate of Marcello Truzzi and contributed to the Zetetic Scholar regarding the claims of psychics such as Peter Hurkos and Gerard Croiset which he found to be bogus.[4][5]
Hoebens killed himself in October 1984.[6]
