In 1777 while encamped in Valley Forge , George Washington had a vision that has been recorded and now sits in the Library of Congress. More than 4,000 words long, the vision contains the future of America, with lines such as, “Son of the Republic, look and learn, I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them .”

Many people believe these lines written in 1654 by Nostradamus predicted 9/11:

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb. The third big war will begin when the big city is burning

John Edwards is believed to talk to dead relatives of participants on his TV show Crossing Over. Some believe his talent lies in his ability to do cold readings, which is a sleight-of-tongue technique fast-talking artists or so-called readers use. Cold reading has many methods whereby the reader can get out of a blatantly wrong guess with extreme speed. So fast that, unless you listen very carefully or are able to review a transcript of what was actually said during the reading, few would ever notice.

Edgar Cayce gave more than 14,000 prophetic readings between 1901 and 1945 covering more than 10,000 topics. When individuals came to him with a question, he would place himself into an induced sleep state in order to see the future. For many years the information dealt mainly with medical problems. Eventually the scope of his readings expanded to include such topics as meditation, dreams, reincarnation, and prophecy. The transcripts have provided the basis for over 300 popular books about Cayce's work.
