Speaker 1: Welcome back, Strange travelers of time. Tonight, we're diving headfirst
Speaker 1: into the mind of Edgar Casey, the Sleeping Prophet, the
Speaker 1: man who turned napping into a full time career. While
Speaker 1: most of us dream about being late for work or
Speaker 1: forgetting to wear pants in public, Casey dreamt about world wars,
Speaker 1: pole shifts, and ancient civilizations with deathrays. That's right, His
Speaker 1: subconscious was basically Netflix, but with higher stakes. In this episode,
Speaker 1: part one of our two part series, will unravel twelve
Speaker 1: of Casey's most famous predictions, the fall and rise of nations,
Speaker 1: the return of Atlantis, even weather gone wild. Some sound
Speaker 1: eerily accurate, others sound like he stayed up too late
Speaker 1: reading pulp magazines. But either way, they'll keep you wide
Speaker 1: awake tonight. For those new to the party, Casey was
Speaker 1: known as the Sleeping Prophet because he gave his predictions
Speaker 1: while lying on a couch with his eyes closed, drifting
Speaker 1: into trance. He wasn't exactly Madam Zelda at a carnival.
Speaker 1: He didn't use crystal balls or tarot cards. He just
Speaker 1: napped and out came visions about everything from world wars
Speaker 1: to the lost City of Atlantis. Some of his prophecies
Speaker 1: were weirdly accurate. Others, let's just say they aged about
Speaker 1: as well as milk left in the sun. But that's
Speaker 1: the fun of it, isn't it. Tonight we'll dig into
Speaker 1: twelve of Casey's wildest predictions, each one stranger, more colorful,
Speaker 1: and occasionally more hilarious than the last. So grab a blanket,
Speaker 1: get cozy, and let's go dream diving with Edgar Casey.
Speaker 1: Russia as the hope of the world. During the height
Speaker 1: of World War Two, Casey shocked his followers by saying
Speaker 1: that Russia would one day become the world's great spiritual savior.
Speaker 1: Now you've got to imagine the timing here. In nineteen
Speaker 1: forty four, Stalin was running the show Gulags, Secret Police,
Speaker 1: and Absolute Paranoia. If you told Americans then that Russia
Speaker 1: was the hope of the world, they'd probably check your
Speaker 1: forehead for fever. But Casey clarified it wasn't the Russia
Speaker 1: of tanks and tyrants. He saw it was a future Russia,
Speaker 1: one reborn into compassion, justice and spirituality. Instead of exporting communism,
Speaker 1: this Russia would export kindness. Did it happen, Well, let's
Speaker 1: just say Casey may have been overly optimistic. Some argue
Speaker 1: that the spiritual revival happening in underground Russian churches today
Speaker 1: might be the seed he saw. Others say this is
Speaker 1: proof Casey's trance visions occasionally veered into pure fantasy. Either way,
Speaker 1: the Russia prophecy remains one of his most quoted. China
Speaker 1: as the cradle of Christianity. Casey once declared that China,
Speaker 1: not Rome or Jerusalem, would become the cradle of Christianity
Speaker 1: as lived, not just Christianity in name, but in action. Compassion, mercy, charity,
Speaker 1: bold words, especially since China at the time was struggling
Speaker 1: under warlords, famine, and the looming rise of communism. Christianity
Speaker 1: there was more or less a handful of missionaries dodging bandits.
Speaker 1: Fast forward to today, and things get interesting. Estimates suggest
Speaker 1: tens of millions of Christians now worship in China. Some
Speaker 1: even say it could outnumber European congregations. For some believers,
Speaker 1: this is Casey's prophecy coming true in slow motion. Of course,
Speaker 1: skeptics say Casey just got lucky throwing darts at a globe. Still,
Speaker 1: it's pretty compelling to imagine the world's biggest atheist state
Speaker 1: quietly becoming home to a vast underground church movement. If
Speaker 1: nothing else, it shows Casey had a flare for the unexpected,
Speaker 1: a preventable world war. Before World War II, Casey issued
Speaker 1: a warning. He said humanity was heading toward a global
Speaker 1: conflict unless we changed our ways. He even predicted fighting
Speaker 1: in Europe and Asia, battles across the Pacific, and fiery
Speaker 1: destruction in cities. Now, you could argue that almost anyone
Speaker 1: reading the news in the nineteen thirties might have seen
Speaker 1: war coming. But Casey wasn't just predicting war. He was
Speaker 1: warning against it, saying it could be avoided if people
Speaker 1: shifted their consciousness toward peace. Imagine the what if if
Speaker 1: world leaders had listened to a man in Kentucky lying
Speaker 1: on a couch, maybe millions of lives could have been
Speaker 1: saved instead. The prophecy came true almost to the letter.
Speaker 1: It remains one of Casey's eeriest predictions, not because he
Speaker 1: foresaw it, but because he practically begged humanity to avoid it,
Speaker 1: and humanity shrugged earth changes and sinking coastlines. If you've
Speaker 1: ever seen those maps online showing Florida underwater, you might
Speaker 1: be seeing case fingerprints. He warned that the Earth would
Speaker 1: undergo massive earth changes, a series of natural disasters that
Speaker 1: would sink coastlines, raise new lands, and force humanity to
Speaker 1: redraw the map. Florida, he said, was toast, parts of
Speaker 1: California would break off into the sea, even entire chunks
Speaker 1: of Europe would vanish beneath the waves. Followers prepared for
Speaker 1: the worst, building bunkers and studying Casey's readings like weather reports.
Speaker 1: Now did Miami sink? Not yet? But rising seas, hurricanes,
Speaker 1: and earthquakes have kept Casey's Earth changes prophecy alive in
Speaker 1: modern disaster culture. Whether you think he was right or
Speaker 1: just really dramatic, his apocalyptic weather forecast remains one of
Speaker 1: his spookiest the Sudden Pole Shift. Casey didn't stop at
Speaker 1: sinking coastlines. He went further, predicting a sudden pole shift.
Speaker 1: He described it as the Earth tipping on its axis,
Speaker 1: causing instant chaos, earthquakes, floods, and storms everywhere. Imagine waking
Speaker 1: up one day to find that your compass points to
Speaker 1: Brazil instead of the North Pole. Scientists actually admit poles
Speaker 1: do shift, but slowly over thousands of years. Casey's version
Speaker 1: was a one night horror show. His followers braced for
Speaker 1: the sudden flip, while geologists rolled their eyes. And yet
Speaker 1: every time the news reports the magnetic poles drifting faster
Speaker 1: than expected, people whisper, was Casey right? It's the prophecy
Speaker 1: that refuses to die. Half science, half sci fi thriller,
Speaker 1: Atlantis Rising again. Casey was obsessed with Atlantis. He insisted
Speaker 1: it wasn't a myth, but a real civilization destroyed by
Speaker 1: its own greed and misuse of power. And here's the kicker,
Speaker 1: He said, parts of Atlantis would rise again in the
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty Right near the Bahamas. In nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: scuba divers near Bimini found what looked like a giant
Speaker 1: underwater stone. Road headlines blared Atlantis discovered. Casey's believers erupted
Speaker 1: in triumph. For them, it was undeniable proof the prophet
Speaker 1: had nailed it. Of course, geologists later said, calm down,
Speaker 1: it's just natural limestone. But try telling that to someone
Speaker 1: who's been waiting for a lost continent to reemerge. To
Speaker 1: this day, Atlantis and Casey's name are practically inseparable, and
Speaker 1: divers still flock to Bimini, hoping to swim down main
Speaker 1: Street Atlantis the Atlantean deathrays. But Casey didn't stop at
Speaker 1: Atlantis Rising. He described Atlantean technology in wild detail, energy
Speaker 1: crystals that could power flying machines, heal the sick, or
Speaker 1: shoot death rays across the ocean. Basically, Atlantis was ancient Wakanda,
Speaker 1: but with worse luck. In his telling, the Atlanteans, it
Speaker 1: became so greedy with their tech that they blew themselves
Speaker 1: sky high, sinking their empire forever. It's the ultimate warning tale.
Speaker 1: Don't mess with energy you don't understand. Fans of Casey
Speaker 1: have linked these visions to everything from UFO sidings to
Speaker 1: Nikola Tesla's experiments. Skeptics say he was just dreaming up
Speaker 1: science fiction decades before it hit movie screens. Either way,
Speaker 1: his Atlantean prophecies are some of his most vivid and beloved.
Speaker 1: California Dreaming of disaster, Casey singled out California, warning that
Speaker 1: parts of the state, especially Los Angeles and San Francisco,
Speaker 1: would one day fall into the sea. Now, Californians already
Speaker 1: live with earthquakes as a fact of life, so hearing
Speaker 1: that your whole city might one day slip off into
Speaker 1: the Pacific wasn't exactly comforting. His vision fueled endless Big
Speaker 1: one theories. Hollywood picked up the idea too. How many
Speaker 1: disaster movies have we seen where California is swallowed by
Speaker 1: the ocean. Casey may not have been the first to
Speaker 1: imagine it, but he stamped it into prophecy lore. So far,
Speaker 1: California is still holding on, But every major quake, from
Speaker 1: San Francisco in nineteen eighty nine to Ridgecrest in twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen gets people whispering. Was Casey right? Is this the
Speaker 1: beginning Japan's fate? Japan too got a special mention in
Speaker 1: Casey's readings. He said it would one day disappear into
Speaker 1: the sea. For an island nation sitting on one of
Speaker 1: the most active seismic zones on Earth, this was more
Speaker 1: than a little unsettling. Casey's vision gained eerie resonance after
Speaker 1: the twenty eleven to Hoku earthquake and tsunami, which devastated
Speaker 1: Japan and killed thousands. The images of entire towns swept
Speaker 1: away by water were hauntingly similar to Casey's warnings. Did
Speaker 1: he mean total destruction or just partial devastation. Believers the
Speaker 1: ate it endlessly. Skeptics argue it's a broad obvious guess.
Speaker 1: Earthquakes in Japan aren't exactly rare. Still, Casey's Japanese prophecy
Speaker 1: refuses to fade, especially after modern disasters gave it terrifying weight.
Speaker 1: The Return of Christ, one of Casey's boldest claims was
Speaker 1: that Christ would return, not necessarily in clouds and trumpets,
Speaker 1: but in a more subtle, spiritual way. He described it
Speaker 1: as a new age of Christ's consciousness spreading across the world,
Speaker 1: changing how people lived and treated each other. To Casey,
Speaker 1: it wasn't about one dramatic moment. It was about a
Speaker 1: shift in humanity's soul, a turning toward compassion and love.
Speaker 1: In his trance, he even suggested that this shift would
Speaker 1: begin in the late twentieth century. Believers point to the
Speaker 1: rise of global spiritual movements, new age practices, and interfaith
Speaker 1: dialogue as signs that Casey was right. Skeptics point out
Speaker 1: that world events since the nineteen eighty haven't exactly been
Speaker 1: overflowing with Christ like behavior, but Casey's softer, less literal
Speaker 1: vision of the Second Coming remains one of his most
Speaker 1: poetic prophecies the Great Economic Crash. Casey also foresaw economic
Speaker 1: disaster in the nineteen twenties. He warned of financial instability
Speaker 1: and a coming collapse if greed and speculation weren't curbed.
Speaker 1: Less than a decade later, the Great Depression hit. For
Speaker 1: Casey's followers, this was proof positive that the man could
Speaker 1: see the future. His timing, they argued, was eerily perfect.
Speaker 1: Skeptics counter that plenty of economists were sounding the same
Speaker 1: alarms at the time. But let's face it, economist warns
Speaker 1: of crash doesn't stick in the imagination the same way
Speaker 1: as sleeping profit predicts doom. And what's fascinating is that
Speaker 1: Casey's warnings didn't end with the depression. He hinted at
Speaker 1: future crashes tied to corruption and imbalances in the global economy.
Speaker 1: Every time Wall Street wobbles, people dust off Casey's words
Speaker 1: and wonder if the old napper saw it all coming.
Speaker 1: Medical miracles from the couch, not all of Casey's visions
Speaker 1: were apocalyptic. In fact, his bread and butter was diagnosing
Speaker 1: people's health problems in trance without ever meeting them. He'd
Speaker 1: rattle off treatments involving natural remedies, diet changes, and spiritual balance.
Speaker 1: Some of his prescriptions sounded downright wacky, castor oil packs
Speaker 1: for everything, weird poultices, and strict avoidance of fried foods.
Speaker 1: But here's the kicker. Many people swore they got better
Speaker 1: after following his advice. To this day, the Casey Foundation
Speaker 1: promotes holistic health based on his readings. Modern Medicine gives
Speaker 1: him mixed reviews. Some of his advice was solid eat
Speaker 1: more veggies, while other treatments had zero scientific backing. But
Speaker 1: the fact that he could reel off medical details while
Speaker 1: napping made him a phenomenon, and it remains one of
Speaker 1: the strangest parts of his story. And there you have it,
Speaker 1: the first twelve prophecies from Edgar Casey's dream Diary. We've
Speaker 1: surfed pole shifts, dodged sinking coastlines, and tiptoed through Atlantis
Speaker 1: like tourists with snorkels. Whether you believe Casey was divinely
Speaker 1: inspired or just really really good at daydreaming, his predictions
Speaker 1: remind us how much we love to peer into the future,
Speaker 1: even if that future involves Florida going for a permanent swim.
Speaker 1: But don't nap, just yet, dear listeners, because in Part
Speaker 1: two we'll explore Casey's predictions about reincarnation, Armageddon, UFOs, and
Speaker 1: the dawning of a new Golden Age. So grab your
Speaker 1: sleeping mask, keep one foot on dry land, and join
Speaker 1: me for the next round of the strange, the mystical,
Speaker 1: and the maybe true. Until then, stay strange.
