US police say there were no bodies found at a house in east Texas, where an anonymous caller claiming to be a psychic said there was a mass grave.

US media earlier reported there were up to 30 dismembered bodies including children buried there.

A Sheriff’s Department spokesman says they found no indication of bodies anywhere on the property.

Authorities say they have a name and number and are trying to trace the caller.
