In 1910, Mrs. L. Hampton submitted an application to the City Council for a clairvoyance and palmistry license. Multiple similar applications are also preserved in the archive’s records. Throughout history, people have always been curious about what the future holds, so they can plan and take control of their lives. Careers such as clairvoyants and psychics have since seen a significant growth within the profession since the early 1900s.
