After President Abraham Lincoln, LBJ was our nation’s most psychic president. Since his childhood in Texas, LBJ had frightening dreams and nightmares, which continued while Johnson was in the White House[1]
It was through a dream that LJB decided to end the bombing of North Vietnam and not to run for a second term.
“Then, as often happens, Johnson’s answer arrived in a dream that was different from any he’d ever had before. LBJ “saw himself swimming in a river.” He swam from the middle of the water toward one shore, and then toward the other. However, no matter how much he swam, he could not reach the shore, but was simply swimming round and round. LBJ concluded the dream’s message was that he must free himself from politics. So the beleaguered president changed his strategy and ordered an end to bombing north of the twentieth parallel, a major shift in Vietnam War policy. A short while later, Johnson announced to the nation that he would not seek reelection in 1968.”[2]
“Also reported during the LBJ White House years were “phone calls from the departed.” According to one author and paranormal researcher, presidential family members received telephone calls but found no one at the other end of the line. When questioned. White House operators said they’d not been responsible for ringing the phones on those occasions. During the Johnson era in the 1960s, the White House phone system was not the digital system of today; it was entirely controlled by operators, who routed calls to the president or other family members by hand according to a strict set of rules. If the operators had not rung the phones of family members and an investigation uncovered no malfunctions to the phone system, who was responsible? Phone calls from the deceased may sound far-fetched, but are actually quite common. It takes only a tiny electrical charge to make a phone ring; and the spirit is actually some form of energy. It is not so unreasonable for the spirit to use electronical means to communicate with the living.”[3]
