In the winter of 1905 in St. Petersburg there were two unusual people. The first was a miracle worker and prophet Rasputin. The second - English Earl Lewis Hamon. At that time, Rasputin still hoped to be represented by the royal family. And Hamon was already world famous soothsayer, astrologist and palmists. At the request of King Edward VII, he was the Russian Emperor horoscope and predicted the death of Nicholas II and his entire family. In addition to the fates of many people, he predicted the course of World War II and the establishment of the State of Israel.
Rasputin and the correspondence Hamon knew each other. So the old man made a personal meeting with him. Rasputin had seen the fate of Nicholas II in a rosy light, and Hamon wanted to convince that he was wrong. But he stuck to his.
- Then what do you think, waiting for me? .
- You die a horrible death at the palace. You will be threatened with a knife, poison, a pistol, - said Hamon. And he added after a short pause:.
- But for some reason I can see all the cold waters of the Neva, ganging up on you.
It seemed ridiculous to Rasputin, who saw himself as a savior Russia. However, the prediction came true in the English count accuracy. In 1914 a peasant named Gusev hit Rasputin a knife in the stomach. But he recovered, although a few weeks hovered between life and death. Two years later, his deception was lured to the palace of Count Yusupov. There Rasputin cakes and wine were treated with potassium cyanide, but the poison had no effect. Then in the chest Gregory drove five bullets, and then taken to the Neva, and thrown into the sagebrush. An autopsy showed that the old man was still alive when he was thrown into the water.
Murders in the Rue Sherlock Holmes.
In the early 90s of the nineteenth century in a house on the famous Baker Street, where Conan Doyle placed Holmes, a man's body found. Scotland Yard detectives have not found any evidence that might bring on the trail of the killer. Standing in a crowd of onlookers and reporters, a young man persuaded the police to allow him to inspect the room where the murder was committed.
Once inside, he stopped at the door and looked at the long room. Then he said: ... He's rich, on the index finger is signet ring, and in his lapel - a flower. This is a close relative of the slain ... The police, as usual, did not believe home-grown detective. But newspapers are exactly repeated his words. A few days later, the London newspaper reported the arrest of killer. They really turned out to be a rich boy with a ring, son of the murdered. A quick disclosure of crimes become possible thanks to a chance passer-by with the strange name of Cairo. Reporters immediately rushed to interview him. What they said Earl Lewis Hamon ( Cairo was his nickname ) was unbelievable, he asserted that can see both past and future.
' In those years, occultists, soothsayers, mediums were in vogue in England. Therefore, interest in Hamon was great, the newspaper wrote about it constantly. It soon became clear that his real name, William Werner, and his title of count is questionable. But it did not matter. The main thing that Hamon continued to work miracles: mentally ...
Storm ministers and kings.
However, missing and skeptics who thought the seer clever con artist who would like to bring it to clean water. Among them was Oscar Wilde, a writer, who was in those years at the zenith of fame. Wilde was a man brought up, so he did not name the Hamon in the face of a cheater, but at the meeting said that he did not believe he can know the future of human. Cairo did not argue, and stared into the face of the writer and said that very soon it is waiting for a scandalous expose, and jail and 4 years later he would be in exile. As it turned out, was not in vain. In 1895, accused of immorality (Wilde was a homosexual ), a famous writer, was imprisoned for 2 years in jail. After his release until his death, he was forced to exile in Paris.
' Just another Cairo - developed relationships with the great scoffer Hamon Mark Twain. He admitted that he hoped to expose a charlatan, but left with a brilliant story plot. But it was not all that he had received from Twain Hamon Count predicted, though in 1903 it will become a rich man. Then he was as poor as a Falcon.
Then followed the prediction of Field Marshal Kitchener Horace. He said Cairo: ... In 1916, becoming minister of war, Kitchener went to Russia for talks on joint action against Germany. The cruiser, which he sailed, was sunk by a German submarine. As predicted, the 66- year life Kitchener met his death at sea.
Thank Cairo grew, and with it increased social level of its clients. The first among the royal blood was Italian Umberto monarch, who asked in 1900 to see if he does not threaten anything scary. Hamon was enough at a glance to understand - after 3 months the King would be killed. As it happens, the seer did not know. Therefore, it is only cautiously warned Umberto. But it was not helped: exactly 3 months later the King was shot and killed an anarchist.
After a year in Cairo turned just ascended the throne of Edward VII of Great Britain. He wanted to know the date of his death. Seer wrote that the king, who was born in 1841, is destined to live for 69 years. A piece of this prophecy, Edward VII kept and was ready for death, which followed, as was predicted in 1910.
Then resorted to using Hamon Minister Joseph Chamberlain, worry about the fate of the eldest son of Austin. Cairo reassured him, saying that waiting for a brilliant career, but the most outstanding success to reach the younger offspring - Neville, who is destined to become prime minister. Both of his predictions have come true.
I can see through!.
During a trip to the U.S. newspaper asked prominent Hamon organize the verification of his prophetic abilities of an original way. He brought the plaster casts of hands of different people and asked to predict the fate of their respective owners.
Hamon has agreed to check. In her he made a sensational prediction, exposing the so-called ... It would appeal, it may take a few sensational trials and will be re- sentenced to death. Nevertheless, he will avoid penalty and will live many more years in prison ...
' As it turned out, newspapermen slipped Cairo casts of hands of some of Dr. Mayer of Chicago. Just days before he was arrested on suspicion of poisoning wealthy patients, insured for large amounts of. His cold-blooded murder rocked the whole of America.
Most likely it was that episode brought to mind Hamon to move to America. In 1930 he opened in Hollywood detective bureau. At first, thanks to his unique abilities, things went well. But then it happened irreparable: the Cairo lost his prophetic gift. As a result, he soon lost all that he had. Having lived the last years in obscurity and poverty, in 1936, Count Louis Hamon died in the free hospital for the poor.
Life is incredibly cruel, especially to celebrities: Cairo managed to predict the fate of many, and even the fate of the world during World War II, the fate of the people of Israel after (the creation of Israel in 1947 ). But to predict its own line of life he was not given.
