In a 1967 session at Elwood Babbitt’s house, researcher Charles Hapgood records Babbitt entering a trance and speaking as the spirit of John F. Kennedy. The voice claims Kennedy regrets his presidency, saying it involved concessions and that his removal was driven by internal forces, including senators and underworld connections, rather than another country; it denies Lyndon B. Johnson’s direct involvement but predicts his sudden death and an unexpected near-term political change. The entity forecasts escalating global conflicts, tensions near Russia, and upheaval in China, but says nuclear weapons will not be used; instead, major earth shifts and natural disasters will cause humanity to turn toward spirituality and peaceful coexistence. It tells Hapgood his future work will have great impact and promises further contact.
