From Tesla's "iPhone" to Elvis' miraculous touch: when historical figures became not only icons, but also prophetic stars - stars of clairvoyance.
Who among us has not ever thought that he would like to know what the future holds? Well, if you thought psychic abilities were reserved only for those who dabble in tarot cards and crystal balls, you're wrong. History is full of famous people who claimed to have prophetic abilities. And no, we are not talking about those who predicted that one day they would invent something as revolutionary as... the bicycle.
Nikola Tesla: More than just an inventor
Prophecy: Tesla announced the development of wireless communication and the smartphone.
Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, was known for his inventions, but he also had some "magical" moments. Flashes of light and vision? Who would have thought that Tesla was actually a secret magician who predicted the arrival smartphones? He may also have had a time machine in his workshop. Who knows? He had all the signs of clairvoyance.
Elvis Presley: The King of Rock'n'Roll and… Healer?
Prophecy: Elvis used his hands to heal people and claimed to have psychokinetic powers.
Elvis, the king of rock'n'roll, was not only a singer and dancer. During his concerts, he may have healed people with his touch. And no, we're not talking about those who fainted at his singing. Elvis claimed to have psychokinetic powers. Maybe he was actually a secret superhero? He had all the signs of clairvoyance.
Mark Twain: Writer and… Fortune Teller?
Prophecy: In a dream, Twain foretold the death of his brother and the year of his death.
Twain, a famous American writer, had not only literary talent but also some prophetic dreams. He may have been a fortune teller in a previous life or had a crystal ball on his desk. He had all the signs of clairvoyance.
Abraham Lincoln: President and… Priest?
Prophecy: Lincoln had visions of his own death and predicted the outcomes of battles.
Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was not only a politician. Together with his wife Mary, they were heavily involved in the priestly movement. Perhaps Lincoln had a secret room in the White House where he communicated with spirits. Or was he really a wizard from Hogwarts? He had all the signs of clairvoyance.
George Washington: Father of the Nation and… Prophetic Military Leader?
Prophecy: Washington experienced three spiritual flashes that foreshadowed future wars for America.
Washington, the first president of the United States, may have had some prophetic visions of America's future. Perhaps he was in fact a sorcerer or had a secret book of prophecies. He had all the signs of clairvoyance.
In a world where anything is possible, these historical figures are proof that the line between reality and fantasy is very thin. Perhaps we too have hidden abilities that we have not yet discovered. Who knows, you might be the next one to predict the future!
