C. B. Braganza

Calvin Brazan Braganza (September 14, 1889 - ?) was an American occultist and astrologer, self-described as the "Prince of Mystics", active in New England, and particularly Boston, during the early twentieth century. Among other things, Braganza claimed to be a Hindu mystic, hailing from Goa East India, and routinely offered newspapers his predictions of the future, including an announcement that Theodore Roosevelt's spirit had told him Al Smith would win the Presidency in 1928.
