Teams of people with psychic powers?

Anyone know of any films which have a Team of psychic investigators (eg telepath, empath, telekinetic etc)

like Rose Red (2002), The Legend of Hell House (1973) and Nightflyers (1987)?

Push (Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle, Djimon Hounsou)
Link: Push (2009)

X-Men:
Are you interested in superhero films? X-Men is the series with the most psychological powers.

Twilight:
Some of the Vampires have additional special abilities. In the later books and movies, these abilities become much more important. Examples: Alice can see the future. Edward and Aro can read minds. Bella's mind cannot be read by others. Etc.

The TV series' Firefly and True Blood both have a psychic, along with various other types of characters.

Poltergeist (1982)
Ghostbusters (1984)
The Fury - more of a school than a team
Puppetmaster - a group of psychics

Wait.

Are the investigators themselves psychic? Or are they investigating psychic phenomenon?

Cuz I interpreted it the first way. And in my examples they weren't really investigators -- they were just teams.

Kinda looking for people who are psychic etc who are investigating psychic phenomenon preferably ghosts

Okay. Got it.

That's very specific. If you want to see more stories like that, you might need to write them yourself. No, I'm just kidding. Here are some more possibilities for you.

I think these are closer to what you are looking for (but they only have SOME of the elements you're looking for): -->

X-Files
Species (1995, Ben Kingsley, Natasha Henstridge)
The Ghost Whisperer (TV, Jennifer Love Hewitt)
The 4 Harper Connelly murder mystery novels (Grave Sight is the first one.)

These all have people who are investigating (or tackling) problems in a world with paranormal phenomenon. They only have a maximum of one psychic each. Although Harper Connelly does consult with 2 other psychics occasionally in books 2 - 4.
