Edgar Cayce

Japanese: ケーシー（英語表記）Edgar Cayce

1877‐1945
America's greatest clairvoyant and prophet. Born in Kentucky, he became aware of his clairvoyant abilities after a spiritual experience he had as a boy with his grandfather, who had died in a horse-riding accident. From around 1909, he made approximately 15,000 predictions and clairvoyances (especially illness diagnoses) by putting himself into a hypnotic state and answering questions, and it is said that his accuracy rate was over 90%. He is famous for predicting World War II in 1936, but his timeline of predictions extends to the end of the 20th century, and so he is still attracting attention today, along with the predictions of Nostradamus.

アメリカ最大の透視能力者，予言者。ケンタッキー州に生まれ，落馬事故死した祖父との霊交体験を少年期に得たことから，透視能力を自覚した。1909年ころから，みずからを催眠状態において質問に答えるという形式で約1万5000件の予言と透視(とくに病気診断)を行い，その適中率は90％以上にも達したといわれる。36年に第2次大戦を予言したことは有名だが，彼の予言年表は20世紀末にまで及んでいるため，ノストラダムスの予言とならんで現在なお注目されている。
