She advised US presidents and even correctly predicted John F Kennedy's assassination - and now Jeane Dixon has warned the world will end this year.

Jeane was one of the most famous self-proclaimed psychics and astrologers in America.

She wrote seven best-selling books, including an autobiography filled with her predictions and a horoscope novel for dogs.

Chillingly, seven years before the death of JFK, who was shot as he travelled in a motorcade through the heart of Dallas, Jeane predicted he would be assassinated.

In the Parade Magazine on May 13, 1956, she wrote the 1960 presidential election would be "dominated by labour and won by a Democrat".

Jeane then went on to add that whoever won the election would "go on to be assassinated or die in office though not necessarily in his first term".

But this was the first time she had dipped her toe into affairs of state.

Born in South Caroline, Jeane claimed she had been approached by a fortune teller, who told her she would be famous for her gift and would help some of the world's most powerful people.

She initially worked writing horoscopes that were published across the US and started to make her first predictions using her crystal ball.

In the middle of World War Two, Jeane came to the attention of US president Franklin D Roosevelt, who called her to the Oval Office.

She claimed he asked her for advice on military issues and Jeane insists she told him the war would end before the middle of 1945.

Roosevelt died in April, 1945, so didn't live to see if some of her predictions came true, but Jeane's reputation as a psychic was now growing.

Her sensational claims about JFK caught the eye of one of her most powerful supporters, Richard Nixon, who was the US vice president at the time.

Jeane was invited to speak with him in the Oval Office and her meteoric rise to fame continued.

A commited Christian, she insisted her visions all came from God, which gained her many fans from the religious communities.

Her relationship with Nixon continued when he became president in 1969 and she met with him for a second time in 1971.

Jeane claims to have had a vision of a terror attack in 1972, shortly before the Munich Massacre at the Olympic Games in Germany that summer.

It seemed to be all the proof Nixon needed and Jeane is credited as being one of the reasons he formed a counterterrorism committee.

And it has been reported that Nixon wasn't the last president who sought he advice - Nancy Reagan and her husband, Ronald, were also said to be in contact with Jeane.

Chillingly, Jeane has also predicted that the world will end in 2020 when a 'war of armageddon' will break out to wipe out the planet.

Some of her other predictions have been eerily accurate.

She said there would be a huge shipping disaster in 1989, which was the year of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

The massive oil tanker spilled 37,000 tonnes of crude oil near Alaska and led to the deaths of up to 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 seals and 22 orca whales.

And one of Jeane's very famous fans says she foresaw her fame and wealth more than 40 years ago.

Oprah Winfrey met with the self proclaimed psychic in 1977 and it has been reported that Jeane told her she would have a huge career and millions of fans.

However, she certainly hasn't always been right and many of her wild predictions have never come to pass.

Jeane believed Russia would beat the US in the space race to become the first nation to send a man to the moon - she was wrong.

She also predicted that World War Three would break out in 1958, there would be a cure for cancer in 1967, a second holocaust in the 1980s and that Rome would rise again to be the biggest empire in the world.

In 1969, authorities asked for Jeane's help to find a missing six-year-old boy, Dennis Lloyd Martin, who had vanished from Tennesse. She was unable to locate the younger.
