On October 21, 1966, a 111-foot coal-waste spoil tip collapsed on the Welsh village of Aberfan. The slurry engulfed several homes and the Pantglas Junior School, a tragedy that would create a cultural grief lasting decades.
Beyond the tragedy, what shocked many was the number of alleged premonitions about the Aberfan disaster before it happened. One came from 10-year-old Eryl Mai Jones, who told her mother a night before the disaster that she had dreamed of the school being destroyed.
Several more came forward with their unique premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster, to the point that psychiatrist John Barker opened the British Premonitions Bureau. Fully convinced they could use this information to avert future disasters, he and his team began collecting specific predictions before tragic events occurred.
Two people, Kathleen Middleton and Alan Hencher, became the bureau’s “stars” after making astonishing predictions about plane crashes, RFK’s assassination, floods, earthquakes, and disasters involving astronauts. But were all of these legitimate? How much of them were coincidences, results of confirmation bias, or vague guesses? Or is there a hidden truth connected to these premonitions? Some researchers suggest they are very real… but it’s not as paranormal as we might think.
