Watching the Fugitive reminded me of David "Harry O" Janssen the star of the original tv series. I recall years ago someone on local radio telling Janssen's life story, or more specifically his frequent premonitions including of his own death. Trying to look it up online the only such reference I can find in a cursory glance is the report (by a professional psychic after the fact, mind you) that Janssen had had - and rang to tell her about - an Abraham Lincoln type vision of his own body being carried off to the cemetery, 2 days before he died of a heart attack. Of course one might speculate his heart was screaming out warning signals picked up in his dreams. I don't on the face of it see prior premonitions of his described online.
It got me thinking anyway to try and gather all such celeb encounters, of whatever provenance, in one place. Along with the Janssen story was a newspaper report in the early 80s about Lindsay "Bionic Woman" Wagner "My mother and I were booked on that American Airlines DC-10 that crashed shortly after takeoff at the Chicago airport,” she said. “But 10 minutes before we were due to get on I had a psychic flash that warned me of disaster. I begged my mother to change our flight and an hour later we learned that all 271 people onboard had been killed. I haven’t doubted a single premonition since."
Tele Savalas story of picking up a phantom hitchhiker appears in countless paranormal anthology books, with the precise details altering from book to book, but Savalas himself can be found recounting it in his own words on youtube (If nothing else it belies the article in FT a while ago which claimed no first hand phantom hitchhiker stories could be found, they were always FOAF.)
Other tales that comes to mind are Alec Guinness forewarning James Dean of his car crash, Melvyn Bragg's youthful suffering from OOBE's (the most intriguing to me, which he described on a This Morning interview was that he saw the "ghostly" part of himself on the ceiling from the perspective of his still conscious physical self on the sofa. a reverse of the usual experience, which I've never heard of before), and Michael Bentine's seeing skulls imposed on the faces of people he encountered who were about to be killed..including his own son.
Anyway, it seems someone has collected a whole lot of other such star-studded NDEs and encounters with ghosts in one place. If you can think of any not included in it, please share. http://www.psychicreach.co.uk/web/quick-links/celebs-psychic-experiences-39/
