Wikipedia, 17 July 2014 (Andrew Jackson Davis (August 11, 1826 - January 13, 1910) was an American spiritualist, born in Blooming Grove, New York; in 1843 he heard lectures in Poughkeepsie on animal magnetism, as the phenomena of hypnotism was then termed, and found that he had remarkable clairvoyant powers; in the following year he had, he said, spiritual messages telling him of his life work; he eventually became known as "the Poughkeepsie Seer")
