Narozen 8. 3. 1973 · Rotterdam, Schenectady County, New York, USA

David Wilcock (March 8, 1973 – April 20, 2026) was an American paranormal writer, media personality, and YouTuber. A significant figure in the disclosure movement, Wilcock suggested that he was in telepathic contact with space aliens. Wilcock graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz (SUNY, New Paltz) in 1995, where he studied psychology. He unsuccessfully applied to graduate school at Naropa University. Following graduation from SUNY, New Paltz, Wilcock worked for several weeks at a psychiatric hospital, according to religious studies scholar David G. Robertson, who was quoting directly from Wilcock's book, The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce? Interdimensional Communication and Global Transformation. Robertson reports that Wilcock's interest in the paranormal began in 1993 when he heard from someone who, in turn, heard from someone else, that it was "common knowledge at NASA that UFOs had been recovered from crash sites". He was later told by his girlfriend, Yumi, that a Shinto shaman said he would become a "famous spiritual leader", and, a roommate also told him he had a dream in which Wilcock appeared as a "wanderer". By the late 1990s, it had been suggested to Wilcock that he was the reincarnation of Cayce. From 2010 on, Wilcock hosted a YouTube channel that eventually garnered half a million followers. He regularly appeared on the History Channel program Ancient Aliens. On April 20, 2026, Wilcock died by self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Nederland, Colorado residence.
