Well, the Bible says God created everything, for those who follow the Bible. That includes evil, but my point doesn't have to do with God creating evil. Or maybe it does...because any tool that can be used for good can be used for evil. The Bible says God gives people free will, so you have a choice to use your gifts, talents, skills, as well as material things in the world, and power (most of all), for good or evil. And some with the gift of psychic abilities use them for one or the other, perhaps some somewhere in-between, if such persons exist at all. Most definitely, there are people with a different gift--the gift of being good at deceiving and conning--who use that to selfish and evil means. I think deception and trickery can be used for good--such as to catch bad people, but again, you choose how you use your gifts.
