The Twins said "that there would be terrorist attacks on ...federal buildings and ... the World Trade Center ...by 2002."[2]

World Trade Center and Federal Buildings terrorist attack prediction in 1999

While being interviewed on the Art Bell radio show (Coast to Coast A.M.) on November 2, 1999, The Psychic Twins predicted that there would be a terrorist attack on federal buildings and the World Trade Center in 2002. The actual quote is, "We are seeing terrorist attacks on federal government – excuse me, federal buildings. Particularly South Carolina or Georgia, by July 2002.[3] And also the New York Trade Center – the World Trade Center in 2002, with something, with a terrorist attack."[4] However, the predicted date was incorrect as the terrorist attacks actually occurred on September 11, 2001. According to an article in Woman's Own magazine, and a documentary on A&E, they also predicted that John F. Kennedy Jr. would die by plane.[4] It was also predicted from the Psychic Twins that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony would not stay together as a couple on La Fusion TV in 2009.[5]

Al-Qaeda terror threat predictions in Europe

This prediction was made in the After Dark magazine, the official magazine for Coast to Coast AM.[6] In the news on September 29, 2010 it was announced "Al-Qaeda plot to attack European cities uncovered". Yahoo News, September 29, 2010[7] It went on to say "Intelligence agencies have uncovered an Al-Qaeda plot to launch attacks in Britain, France and Germany by Pakistan-based extremists."

Their parents, Jane Bethel Gray and Philip Jamison, were writers and painters.[15] According to a 2006 documentary on A&E, Philip is a watercolor artist of worldwide renown.[16][17] The Jamison Twins also have an older brother Philip Duane Jamison III, nickname "Flip", who has not displayed any psychic abilities.

Education and career

Terry attended Penn State University for one year, and Linda attended the University of Delaware, both then transferred to Temple University's Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Pa. where they obtained fine arts degrees. They later worked as performance artists.

The twins endured different illnesses for many years. They had stated "they went through many treatments and doctors to find relief".
