Robert Allen Fahey, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was raised a Catholic. Early in life, he could see and hear spirits, predict future events, had dreams of prophecy, and given warnings to be careful of his talent and experiences, as they had more to do with the unexplained. To help him grow up psychic, his mother nurtured his ability by playing 20-questions on a game Ouija board. To prevent labels defining him as being unusual, he learned to keep his ability a secret by listening to his spirit guides who lead him to study hypnosis and self-hypnosis.
