Edgar Cayce Foundation

During Edgar Cayce's lifetime, the records of his psychic readings were his personal property. After his death, they became the property of his sons, Hugh Lynn Cayce and Edgar Evans Cayce, and his secretary, Gladys Davis Turner. They were stored in the Cayce home and office.
