Men With The Mysterious Powers
Candy Jones, America's most successful
model of the 1940's, was a victim of mind control through a programme of
hypnosis possibly organised by sections of the CIA. One of the most important
factors in this case is that she was only able to recall these incidents of mind
manipulation through
hypnosis performed on her by husband Long John Nebel.
Candy was born Jessica Wilcox in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on 31st December 1925. Her mother seems to have been both puritanical and cold; her father
deserted them when she was three, after which Jessica and her mother moved to
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, staying with her grandmother. She grew to
love her grandmother more than her parents, hardly surprising as she once described
her father crushing her fingers in a nutmeg grater. The young girl's mother never
let her mix with other children, and she was often locked in dark rooms on her
own, where she developed strong relationships with imaginary friends.
One of these friends was
called Arlene, and though the other imaginary figures of her childhood were soon
forgotten, Arlene remained as a second personality, growing up with Jessica. Arlene's character was almost the opposite of
her own, with some of the
hardness and cruelty of her mother, and a sarcastic and cruel character, with a
harsh low voice, very different from hers. This split in her personality could
have contributed to making her an easy subject for hypnosis later in life.
At sixteen she entered and won the 1941 Miss Atlantic City contest, which led
to a job as official
hostess at the Miss America pageant, and lots of publicity. She subsequently became
Candy Jones, America's most famous model during the forties
While her so-called psychokinetic powers
are still highlighted as the greatest of her “psychic” abilities, Nina
Kulagina appears to have been a most gifted healer and “seer” with
abilities that rivaled the late clairvoyant Edgar Cayce. There are stories that Kulagina could
mentally see things inside people’s pockets and could see an image of a
person’s illness the moment she saw them. There appears to be little or
no documentation as to her ever utilizing her abilities to identify
disease, even though researchers discovered that she not only had
Casey’s ability to have visions of medical cures but could heal by
simply laying her hands on the patient. All available reports emerging
from behind the old Iron Curtain days focus on the woman’s strange
ability to move objects with her mind.
Everybody has heard of Nostradamus, but how much do people really know
about the man? Most people are familiar with some of his prophecies, but
there are a great many more which are lesser known; and there is also
much more to learn about him than just his predictions.
Nostradamus was also known as a healer and had a great interest in
medical science. However he soon turned his attention to the occult,
whereby he began to write annual almanacs which, when combined,
contained over 6000 prophecies in total. He normally published several
detailed predictions (called Almanacs) each year, as well as other more
general predictions which were titled Presages or Prognostications. Nostradamus is most famous for his apparent predictions of major world events. Some also believe that he has predicted World War 3 although no one
quote specifically predicts this occurring on any specific date.
Edgar Cayce was a man who touched the lives of many thanks to his
paranormal psychic gifts. During a sleep like hypnosis, he was able to
see into the future and change the lives of hundreds of people. There
has never been a prophet like him since Nostradamus.
If looked at by anyone, he seemed to be an ordinary man who loved his
wife and two children, enjoyed gardening and photography. He was a
Sunday school teacher and if left at that, you would think he was just
an ordinary lovable man. But he also had a gift of seeing into the
future which he used to help others. For the better part of his 43 years, he was able to place himself into a
semi-conscious state and he would be able to see both past and future
time. People would not restrict their questions to just ask about the
future
Cayce also known as “The Sleeping Prophet” was in the habit of lying on
his back, closing his eyes and folding his hands over his stomach after
which he would induce himself into a sleep like state. It was in this
state that he was able to give out any information asked about a person
as long as he was given a name and the place the person was at. His
readings were recorded and he kept one copy while another was sent to
the person who requested the readings. His readings were so accurate
such that they were documented and filed. There has never been a psychic
who has had his work documented as much as that of Cayce. There are
about 14000 recorded readings of his.
There are so many uncertainties
surrounding The Count of Saint Germain that he seems to be more of a
legend than a man. We can confirm that he walked the earth and had quite
a reputation in 18th century Europe, but it’s hard to extract the facts
from fiction. Those with a love for the paranormal would insist that
all the strange stories surrounding him are truth. Of course, we would
have to believe that he really was “a man who knows everything and who
never dies”, just like Voltaire had once noted.
The life of the Count of Saint Germain
was shrouded in mystery from the very beginning. While historians
generally agree that he was likely born around 1712, the rest is
unclear. Due to the way he came in the company of royalty with no verifiable
past, many attributed his youthful appearance to time manipulation. Some
thought he found a way to freeze time, for just himself, during sleep.
Others suggested he was from another time entirely and travelled freely
whenever necessary. Additionally, several people have claimed to be the
Count of Saint Germain over the span of several centuries.
J. Raoul Derosiers, a Canadian businessman, allegedly had one of the
strangest talents on record, he could, apparently, see deep into solid
earth. This x-ray vision was at one time known as ‘water witching’, but
nowadays is more commonly called water divining or dowsing.
According to the story, Derosiers had often suffered from acute
stabbing pains under his lower ribs but, although the attacks were
painful, they never lasted long, so he didn’t take too much notice of
them. In 1940, however, the attacks started to occur more frequently and
for much longer durations, convincing him that he needed to visit a
doctor. The doctor though the problem was mainly psychological, and
would be cured by rest. Accordingly he prescribed Derosiers sleeping
pills, and indeed, this appeared to work for a while.
