Some people believe that Edgar Cayce, an American man who lived in this century, had psychic powers. Cayce lived from 1877 to 1945 mostly in a small town in Virginia. He was not an educated man. As a child, he was a poor student, and attended school only until the sixth grade.
    When Cayce became a young man, he discovered he had the power to hypnotize himself. He could put himself into a very special mental state called a trance. While in this trance, he could answer many questions about people’s lives and futures. He could tell sick people how to become well. Often he answered questions about people’s health that even doctors could not answer.
    Cayce also answered questions about the future of the world, he correctly predicated when the first and second world wars would begin and end. He foresaw the Great Depression of 1929.
    Today in Edgar Cayce’s town of Virginia Beach, there is a special organization called the Association for Research and Enlightenment. At this place, there are films and lectures about Cayce’s predictions and philosophy. There is a bookstore and a library with all of his psychic "reading". If you are in the US, you can visit the Association and learn more about this American psychic.
