Predictions for 2007

[Carol]

As posted on my other site

http://groups.msn.com/ParanormalandPsychicInvestigations/

I finally have started to write down some of the predictions I feel will happen this year. Unfortunately I have been so busy lately and with computer problems that I only have part of it finished (More predictions written down on my comp that's getting fixed).

Anyways below are some of the one's I wrote down that I can recall.

Recently I posted on this message board under a different topic heading regarding some predictions for this year. I talked about how I felt this year would be another wild one in terms of weather (unusual amount of tornadoes and hurricanes). I also feel that there will be some devastating earthquakes felt around the world and tsunami's. The places I feel that will get hit by earthquakes include, Japan (more tsunami related), Philippines, Italy, Iran, Russia. Also on this list I feel that Africa will be hit very hard with Earthquake related activities. I am not able to hone in on the exact area but just feel that they will get more than their share of bad luck this year with weather and Earthquake related devastation. Central United States will experience extreme weather in way or tornadoes and also drought. I feel the same for the Western Provinces of Canada. Especially when it comes to drought. I also think we will have another very hot summer this year and will be experiencing periods of black outs.



Well beside the mentioned items above, I also feel this year will be a big one in terms of UFO sightings and reports from around the world. You can already see that trend happening in the news posts that I have been putting up on the message boards. I even will go as far to say that some government officials may even come forward and admit in a round about way that we have been visited by beings not of this world. This may also come in the form of more documents being disclosed to the public by countries other than the U.S. with the U.S. admitting for the first time there is a possibility of life on other planets but not coming forward with the evidence to back up this claim. Some of the places I feel will come forward include France, Russia, Finland and Germany.



Also this year I feel there will be a HUGE amount of loss and devastation in regards to the war in Iraq. I think that eventhough more troops have been sent in to fight, this will only do the opposite and there will be no peace in sight. I also feel that we will experience more large scale terrorist attacks while troops are overseas fighting. Also there will be conflict with government officials in having troops there from other countries, which in turn will strain relationships with the various countries. I still feel a double cross of sorts with a country supplying weapons to Iran and its surrounding nations to fight against the U.S. This will of course strain the relationship that the country has with the U.S. The two countries I feel that might do this are France and Russia.



I will post more once my comp is back up online. In the meanwhile if anyone else has any predictions for this year, I would like to hear about it.

Quake rocks Japan, kills 1, injures 170

KANAZAWA, Japan - A powerful earthquake struck central Japan on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring 170 others as it toppled buildings, triggered landslides and generated a small tsunami along the coast. The quake was followed throughout the day by aftershocks.

The magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 9:42 a.m. off the north coast of Ishikawa, Japan's Meteorological Agency said. The agency issued a tsunami warning urging people near the sea to move to higher land.

A small tsunami measuring 6 inches hit the shore 36 minutes later, the agency said.

The morning quake toppled buildings, triggered landslides, cut power, interfered with phone service, broke water mains and snarled public transportation. At least one person was killed and 170 others were hurt along the country's Sea of Japan coast, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

Television footage of the quake showed buildings shaking violently for about 30 seconds. Other shots showed collapsed buildings and shops with shattered windows, streets cluttered with roof tiles and roads with cracked pavement.

"We felt violent shaking. My colleagues say the insides of their houses are a mess, with everything smashed on the floor," Wataru Matsumoto, deputy mayor of the town of Anamizu, near the epicenter, told NHK.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki confirmed the death of a 52-year-old woman. NHK said she was crushed by a falling stone lantern.

"We are doing our best to rescue the victims," he said. "We are also doing our best to assess the extent of the damage."

The quake knocked down at least 39 homes in Ishikawa and damaged another 143, the FDMA said. Most of the injuries and damage were concentrated in the city of Wajima, it added, about 193 miles northwest of Tokyo.

Takeshi Hachimine, seismology and tsunami section chief at the Meteorological Agency, said the affected area was not considered earthquake-prone. The last major quake to cause casualties there was in 1933, when three people died.

"After the powerful earthquake, aftershocks will continue," Hachimine said.

Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. The last major quake to hit the capital, Tokyo, killed some 142,000 people in 1923, and experts say the capital has a 90 percent chance of suffering a major quake in the next 50 years.

In October 2004, a magnitude-6.8 earthquake hit northern Japan, killing 40 people and damaging more than 6,000 homes. It was the deadliest to hit Japan since 1995, when a magnitude-7.2 quake killed 6,433 people in the western city of Kobe.

Powerful quakes in 1703, 1782, 1812 and 1855 also caused vast damage in the capital.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter of Sunday's quake was 225 miles northwest of Tokyo. The USGS measured its magnitude at 6.7.

[Stubborn Justice]

huh....forgot about this. Was it in your 2007 predictions, or was it a dream or premonition you had about a bridge collapse? It just dawned on me....the bridge collapse in the USA last month.

[Carol]

I totally forgot all about that until you mentioned it. It was a dream I had about a bridge collapsing. I believe it was in the beginning of the year. I tried searching for it but didn't find anything thus far. So if you or anyone else has any luck with it let me know.

Here is an article with a few pics about the bridge collapse. I also posted this article recently on the Paranormal News message board.

Bridge Name Game: Reeves/McDaniel



August 1, 2007: The I-35W Bridge collapses.

Taking a couple Fortean and Mothman sidetreks, here is more pondering in the wake of the I-35W Bridge collapse. While reading the accounts about the fall of the Minnesota bridge, I noticed two names popped up, Reeves and McDaniel. Hang in here with me as I let that Fortean part of my brain wander and wonder.

Jay Reeves, 39, was one of the first people on the scene after the collapse. He tried calling 911, but all the lines were jammed. Then, he heard the sounds of children?s screams from the school bus.

?I opened my car door and was greeted by the screams of lots of kids. Screaming kids are good. That means they?re alive and full of a lot energy,? said Reeves, a trained paramedic and the public safety coordinator for the Minnesota American Red Cross.
Associated Press, August 2, 2007.

It struck me in one of those ?coincidental? sort of ways that how strange it is a Reeves, the head of the Red Cross there, would be driving by. But we are use to such things happening because they do.

The witnesses? name, Reeves, is among those special family titles that have been pinpointed as playing a magnetic role in the ?name game.? John Keel once told me that people named Reeve/Reeves have a lot of strange experiences. Many monster witnesses have been named Reeves. A glance at the indexes of Fortean Times will show a sprinkling of Reeves and Reeve, as witnesses and contributors.

A man named Reeves was the primary witness in a now famous Brooksville, Florida UFO case. As Jerome Clark has written: ?A man so obscure as to be barely known to most other residents of the rural area where he lived, John F. Reeves, 66, became the focus of international attention in 1965, when he reported an encounter with a UFO and its occupant.?

Contactees Bryant and Helen Reeve reached celebrity status in the 1950s after writing their book, Flying Saucer Pilgrimage. Much has been written of the tragic coincidences whirling around the lives of the actors (George Reeves and Christopher Reeve) who played the television and movie Superman (a fictional character who was an alien come to Earth to assist humans) or the ?superman? (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix.

There is a reason it?s called the Name Game.

December 15, 1967: The Silver Bridge - U. S. Highway 35 collapses.

Needless to say, the Minneapolis bridge collapse reminds many of the Silver Bridge fall of 1967, as I mentioned immediately on August 1st. The mainstream media is catching up with that feeling, and the Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer re-visited the site of the Silver Bridge collapse. They turned to the mayor for a reaction. Point Pleasant Mayor Marilyn McDaniel was ?a stay-at-home mom with three babies in those days. Her husband worked in Ohio and had returned home on the Silver Bridge maybe 30 minutes before it collapsed.?

This week Mayor McDaniel mourns for Minneapolis:

Our hearts go out to those people?.You don?t forget these things. They stay in your mind.?
Mayor Marilyn McDaniel, August 2, 2007.

McDaniel, of course, is a name familiar for its Mothman links.

This reminds me of my exchange with [John A.] Keel about the name game in 1973, when we were discussing the new reports out of Illinois, from Enfield. On April 25, 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDaniel returned to their home and Henry had an encounter with a thing that looked like it had three legs, two pink eyes as big as flashlights, and short arms on a four-and-a-half-feet tall and grayish-colored body, along the L&N rail-road tracks, in front of his house. I traveled to Enfield, interviewed the witnesses, looked at the siding of the house the Enfield Monster had damaged, heard some strange screeching banshee-like sounds, and walked away bewildered.

John Keel wondered aloud with me about these reports, as he had returned from Point Pleasant well aware of the vortex the McDaniel family had found themselves in. One of the first Mothman witnesses, Linda Scarberry, was, after all, a McDaniel. Her mother saw Mothman. The McDaniel home was the focus of MIBs, telephone troubles, and poltergeist activity, thus involving Parke McDaniel and Mabel McDaniel with the Mothman flap.

Keel had uncovered a 1870s story of an individual named McDaniel who had met up with the Devil in New York State?s Catskill Mountains. Western Bigfoot Society member Vic McDaniel led expedition members to where he had found a Sasquatch bed in August 1979. As the 20th century ended, Stanley V. McDaniel, a philosophy professor and member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research, began to make a name for himself, to turn a phrase, when he produced The McDaniel Report, and a book, The Case for the Face, on his research into the possibility of artificial objects on the surface of Mars.
Mothman and Other Curious Encounters (NY: Paraview, 2002)

John Keel discussed the 1966-1967 Mothman-McDaniel family troubles further:

The McDaniel family had been living in the twilight zone ever since their daughter and the others had first glimpsed ?Mothman.? Linda had repeatedly heard the sound ?of a speeded-up phonograph record? around her own home after the incident, and peculiar manifestations indicating the presence of a poltergeist began. Finally she and Roger moved into the basement apartment in the McDaniel?s home. The poltergeist followed them. Strange lights appeared in the house, objects moved by themselves, and the heavy odor of cigar smoke was frequently noted. No one in the family smokes. (The smell of cigar smoke is commonly reported in many poltergeist cases throughout the world.) One morning Linda woke up and distinctly saw the shadowy form of a large man in the room. The house was searched. All the doors were still locked. There was no sign of a prowler. The McDaniels? experience was one of many during the thirteen intense months of the Mothman flap.
Strange Creatures from Time and Space (Greenwich, CT: Fawcett, 1970.

Mabel McDaniel had seen Mothman on January 11, 1967, near Tony?s Restaurant in Point Pleasant; then later during March, had a run-in with one of those Mad Gasser/Springheel Jack-type fellows, the Men-In-Black. Parke McDaniel had likewise been frightened by the Men-In-Black on December 23, 1967. Keel felt the name McDaniel had a far greater recurrence in these matters than random?.

Keel himself has raised the question of name selectivity in his writings: ?Hundreds of thousands of phenomenal events have been described in newspapers, magazines and books, and hundreds of thousands of witnesses have been named in print. When dealing with such a large body of evidence?or population?certain laws of probability should surface. We might expect that more Smiths would see UFOs than anyone else, simply because there are more Smiths around. But, in actuality, the name Smith rarely appears in a UFO report.?

What Keel found was that unusual names were the point of convergence for the phenomena. He saw McDaniel, Reeves/Reaves, Maddox, Heflin, Allen, Hill, and others, as being selected for UFO and related experiences. The Smiths, Browns, Williams, and Johnsons?the four top surnames in America?are not the most frequent precipitant names to crop up. I would add that the most unusually named witnesses seem to have the more bizarre encounters.
