About this listen

Hello Seekers!

I've taken a hard left content-wise today and shifted gears into something that captured my imagination - and that is my absolute fascination with fortune telling and pre-cognition.

Since I was little and read about Lincoln's Ghost Train from a Time Life Book: Mysteries of the Unknown volume, I've been obsessed with people being able to foretell the future.

Today, on the Occulture Shock Podcast, I've cobbled together a short list of some of my favorite incidents, along with a little background on each. For example:

  • Did you know... that England had a Premonitions Bureau that was responsible for some of the most scientifically documented incidents of premonition in the world?
  • Did you know...that a man from Dublin trained in India to read palms and was so good, he amassed a fortune and, although now he is somewhat forgotten, almost all of his palmistry books are still in print and available?
  • And speaking of books...did you know...that the sinking of the Titanic was foretold YEARS beforehand by an author writing about an unsinkable ship meeting its demise in the cold North Atlantic waters?

(I also tossed a little section of Nostradamus in there for good measure too).

I hope you all enjoy and, as always, thank you for getting weird with me today!
