It would be cool to see into the future, right? You would able to predict the dining hall menu for the next month, know if your will crush decides to make a move, or if you will strike it rich in your life. Many individuals try to hone in on their sensory perceptions and make claims about the future from what they feel. We may have seen these people in film with a crystal ball or on the street in a psychic studio, and while the idea of having your mind read sounds thrilling, there is always that one skeptical thought in the back of your head that reminds you clairvoyants are scams.
Real deal or otherwise, there has been one psychic (or should I say, psychics) making their way into the mainstream through YouTube: a psychic duo known as The Psychic Twins.
Linda and Terry Jamison, identical twin psychics, are known most notably for their 1999 prediction about September 11. In an interview on the Art Bell radio show "Coast to Coast AM", the twins forecasted that a terrorist attack would strike in “South Carolina or Georgia, by July 2002. And also the New York Trade Center – the World Trade Center in 2002." Since their prediction they have starred and performed on "Saturday Night Live", appeared in a number of documentaries and written a book together.
Now, they are making a place for themselves in the YouTube world. In a typical video, the twins invite a popular YouTuber onto their show where they either let the YouTubers ask questions about their future ("Will I have kids?" "Will I marry?") or predict events that will occur sometime in the nearby future. A video uploaded by YouTuber Shane Dawson in December of 2015 features The Psychic Twins, who predict the terrorist attacks in Belgium in late March of 2016.
The twins claim they are a shared soul with two bodies, so they can read each other's mind and have even experienced identical nightmares. In that same video with Shane Dawson, they explain the technique they use to get readings on future events called automatic or channel writing, where "blocks of energy" guide the twins' hands onto a piece of paper instead of consciously writing. Some people claim their clairvoyance comes from this idea of "twintuition" (twin intuition), a bond twins can share where they can finish each other's sentences and even know what the other twin is thinking.
A wild concept, indeed.
They may be fairly new to the online community scene but for starting a YouTube channel in August of 2015 and amassing over 415,000 subscribers, the message is clear: people are interested in the mystery, magic and skepticism around psychics.
