Predictions That Foretold Actual Real Events

#1 Sharon Tate

In 1966 actress Sharon Tate became very unnerved at her boyfriend;s house in Benedict Canyon, Las Angeles. She informed him that she sensed something very eerie in the house. Before she fell asleep she saw a vision of the house's former owner, only he had committed suicide many years before. Panicked, she fled from the room, only to see an image of a person tied to a railing with their throat cut. In the years that followed, she told many of the vision and insisted that the person hanging from the railing was herself. On August 9, 1969, she was killed in the house by a murderous cult, The Manson Family, and left with her throat cut, hanging from a railing.

#2 Flight 171

In May of 1971, a man named David Booth began having vivid nightmares of what he described as a jetliner veering off the runway, flipping over and catching on fire. He informed the Federal Aviation Association of his dreams and visions. Surprisingly, officials listened to him and decided the plane in his vision was likely a DC-10. On the exact same day as Davids final nightmare, American Airlines DC-10, flight 171, crashed and flipped over the way he had predicted it, down to the finest details.

#3 Nostradamus

Philosopher Nostradamus is known for predicting many things, some of which came true and some that did not. He is widely credited with predicting the rise of Hitler, Napoleon, and even the 9/11 attacks. He wrote about a great fire caused by terrorists in the name of religion at 45 degrees. Experts believe this is the foreseeing of the attack on the Twin Towers since NYC lies at 45 degrees latitude.

#4 Barret Naylor

The events that took place on September 11, 2001, rocked the entire world. As a result of the situation, many theories began to take shape about the events. Wall Street executive Barret Naylor claims to have had two foreboding hunches that may have likely saved his life. In 1993, while riding a subway train to work, he had an uneasy feeling telling him to return home. By doing so, he missed a bombing that took place that day at the World Trade Center. The same thing happened on 9/11. He followed the exact same routine and went home instead of to work. When he turned on his television he saw the horror he just barely missed.

#5 Logan Dryer

Logan attended Sandy Hook Elementary School until two weeks before the tragic shooting that took the lives of 20 children and seven teachers. His mother became worried when Logan, 5-years-old, would return home from school every day in terror. She later found out that he was also having extreme panic attacks while in class. In his own words, he said, "No, no, it's not a safe place.I'm scared." His family believes he was saved by inherited psychic ability passed down to him from his grandmother. After his panic attacks, his mother refused to send him back to Sandy Hook, ultimately saving his life.

#6 Ezra Stiles

By analyzing population growth in Europe, Ezra Stiles, then president of Yale University, predicted in 1783 that America's population would reach 300 million in 200 years. A little over 200 years later, the U.S. population hit 300 million. Stiles also predicted that the earth would be covered in water and unable to drink any of it, causing historic deaths. Perhaps he was off on this, but with the rise in sea waters and the droughts plaguing the world, this could come true in time.

#7 Mark Twain And Haley's Comet

Mark Twain isn't known to be a fortune teller but he did make two startling predictions that came true. He was born the same year that Haleys Comet was visible to people on earth, in 1835, just two weeks after the comet passed by. In his 1909 autobiography, he said 'I came in with Hayley's Comet in 1835, and it is coming again next year and I expect to go out with it.' He added,'The Almighty has said here are these two freaks, they came in together and they will go out together.' He died on April 21, 1910, the day following the return of the comets passing by the earth once more. He also predicted his brother's death just two weeks before his own, also with extreme accuracy.

#8 Tana Hoy

Tana Hoy is a well-known psychic who not only claims to see the future, he claims to see spirits who see things as well. In 1995, while doing a live radio program, in North Carolina, he predicted a deadly terrorist attack on a building in Oklahoma City. Only 90 minutes later, tragedy struck at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building when Timothy McVeigh and his accomplices orchestrated one of the worst terrorist attacks on US soil. He had been having the same vision for over four months, and had reported his tales to the FBI but was not taken seriously.

#9 Philco-Ford

Philco was an early pioneer in electronics, beginning in 1892 as a maker of carbon arc lamps, and eventually becoming the most popular early manufacturer of radios. The company was bought by the Ford Motor Company in 1961, and in recognition of their 75th anniversary, they produced a short film speculating on life in the far, far future. Its title: "Year 1999 A.D."

In the video, they predict online shopping and bill paying, electronic funds transfers, compact home laser printers, and even "instant written communication between individuals anywhere in the world", a perfect definition of email, long before the Internet was a twinkle in anyone's eye. When this video started making the online rounds in the mid '2000s, it was scarily accurate enough to be thought a hoax, until confirmed by Snopes.

#10 Streaming Video

In 1987, film critic Roger Ebert predicted video-on-demand services Netflix and Hulu. He predicted high definition, wide screen television sets, then went on to tell Omni Magazine reporters that "We will have a push-button dialing system to order the movie you want at the time you want it, there will be no more video stores or tapes." He continued to say that video tapes would become obsolete, and people would someday use lasers to play and create music and video recordings. He said people would be able to sit at home and dial up anything they wanted to hear or watch and it would just arrive.

Hello, Netflix.

#11 John Watkins

In December of the year 1900, John Watkins wrote a story for The Ladies Home Journal that included his predictions for the future. Among the many predictions he made in his article was that by the year 2000, the world would be using chemicals to make animals and plants bigger. He said that there may be strawberries as big as apples for his great, great grandchildren to consume. As we see GMO foods take over the market, we notice a big difference in the size and shape of our fruits and vegetables. He was spot on when he added that big companies would make money from enhancing the production of beef, poultry, and wheat.

He also wrote; "Ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishment similar to our bakeries of today." Freeze-dried and packaged foods, not to mention electric refrigerators, were still far on the horizon."Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a hundred years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later . . . . photographs will reproduce all of nature's colors."

#12 RMS Titanic

In 1898, a prolific short story writer named Morgan Robertson wrote a novella called "Futility, Or The Wreck of the Titan." The book detailed how the largest ship ever made crashed into an iceberg and sank. Sound familiar?

The RMS Titanic sank under those exact circumstances 14 years later, and there are written accounts of passengers having anxiety attacks before boarding the ship. It had to be towed out to deeper waters and was almost sunk by the tow boats before it even left its destination.
