People never lose their fascination with psychics. America has its fair share of very popular and famous psychics. Some psychics have been so successful in their work that they are producing television shows. Here is just a short list of famous American psychics.
Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was considered the greatest American psychic of all time. He is also considered the most documented, with more than 14000-recorded readings at the Association for Research and Enlightenment or A.R.E. He was called “the Sleeping Prophet” because he could diagnose an illness in his sleep and wake up with the remedy. Some of his most famous works include, earth shifts and weather patterns, Altantis, and reincarnation. Cayce’s methods involved lying down and entering into what appeared to be a trance or sleep state, usually at the request of a subject who was seeking help with health or other personal problems (subjects were not usually present). The subject’s questions would then be given to Cayce, and Cayce would proceed with a reading. At first these readings dealt primarily with the physical health of the individual (physical readings); later readings on past lives, business advice, dream interpretation, and mental or spiritual health were also given.
