JAMIESON TWINS

Linda and Terry Jamison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Linda and Terry Jamison (born 1955) are a pair of American identical twins who claim to be psychics who claim to have predicted the September 11th attacks two years ahead of time.[1]

While being interviewed on the Art Bell radio show on November 2, 1999, they claimed that through an automatic writing process, they were predicting that there would be a major Bin Laden attack on the federal government and the World Trade Center in 2001. Also, according to an article in Woman's Own magazine, and a documentary on A&E, they correctly predicted that John F. Kennedy Jr. would die by plane.[2]

As of 2007, the twins work as psychics on local talkshows, making predictions about celebrities and Academy Awards.[3]

Biography


They grew up in the small town of West Chester, Pennsylvania, attending East Bradford Elementary School, and later Henderson High School. Their parents, Jane and Philip Jamison, were writers and painters. According to a 2006 documentary on A&E, Philip is a watercolor artist of worldwide renown.[4][5] The women have an older brother Flip, who has not displayed any psychic abilities.

The women themselves obtained fine arts degrees from Temple University (Tyler School of Art), and for a while worked as performance artists. They had their own performing arts company, "Pop Theatrics," which would perform music, comedy, dance, and acrobatics in New York and Washington D.C..

In their 40s, they began refocusing their career as psychics and convention speakers. Terry has been married and divorced, and the twins presently share a home in Los Angeles.

Criticism


Critic Leon Jaroff, who generally refers to all psychics as "charlatans", has pointed out that the Jamison twins are frequently incorrect.[6] For example, in December 2003, they incorrectly predicted that Saddam Hussein would be killed by U.S troops in early 2004 (he was actually executed after a trial in 2006), and that Pope John Paul II would die in June 2004 (he actually died in April 2005). They also incorrectly predicted that actress Jennifer Lopez would announce that she was pregnant by 2004,[7] or June 2005[8] (she did not become pregnant until November 2007).

Stephen Robert Irwin (February 22, 1962 – September 4, 2006), known simply as Steve Irwin and nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an Australian wildlife expert and television personality. He achieved world-wide fame from the television program The Crocodile Hunter, an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series co-hosted with his wife Terri Irwin. Together, they also co-owned and operated Australia Zoo, founded by his parents in Beerwah, Queensland. He died in 2006 after his chest was fatally pierced by a stingray barb.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship MV Steve Irwin was named in his honour, christened by his wife Terri, who said "If Steve were alive, he'd be aboard with them!"


Early years of life


Born on his mother's birthday[1] to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Irwin moved with his parents as a child to Queensland in 1970. Irwin described his father as a wildlife expert interested in herpetology while his mother Lyn was a wildlife rehabilitator. After moving to Queensland, Bob and Lyn Irwin started the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles.

Irwin became involved with the park in a number of ways, including taking part in daily animal feeding, as well as care and maintenance activities. On his sixth birthday he was given a 12-foot (4 m) scrub python. He began handling crocodiles at the age of nine after his father had educated him on reptiles from an early age.[2] Also at age nine he wrestled his first crocodile, again under his father's supervision.[3] He graduated from Caloundra State High School in 1979. He soon moved to Northern Queensland, where he became a crocodile trapper, removing crocodiles from populated areas where they were considered a danger. He performed the service for free with the quid pro quo that he be allowed to keep them for the park. Irwin followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a volunteer for the Queensland Government's East Coast Crocodile Management program.
