  • The Aberfan Disaster

    From Jim Singleton@RICKSBBS to All on Friday, May 02, 2025 13:25:28
    On October 21st, 1966, a devastating landslide bombarded the small village of Aberfan, Wales, burying 116 children and 28 adults. After the horrific event, psychiatrist Dr. John Barker wrote a book entitled Premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster, on account of 76 letters he had collected after the incident that seemed to indicate a large number of people had premonitions about the landslide before it happened.
    If one person predicts a tragedy, well, maybe it's luck. But what about dozens? The most famous premonition about the landslide came from Eryl Mai, a schoolgirl who told her mom about a dream she had a day before the disaster. In the dream, Mai said her schoolmates and her were suddenly surrounded by something dark and black. She was convinced something bad was going to happen to her and her friends. Sadly, she was right.
