Types who might host lifeless parties? (8)
I believe the answer is:
psychics
'types' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for psychics that I've seen before include "People with extrasensory powers, like mediums" , "People with occult powers like mediums" , "Mind-readers" , "They claim clairvoyance" , "They claim the ability to see the future" .)
