There have been times when I can say, "I predicted this", however they have always been AFTER the event.

It is possible to predict what is to come, but until it happens it has not been a prediction, only a thought, an idea, a possibility. After the event however it is possible to say how close to the facts this earlier "prediction" was.

I predicted something had happened to our service personnel when they were fighting in the Falklands back in 1982. I was sitting at a VDU, at work one evening, around 6pm. I suddenly heard a whining noise in my head, but no-one else heard it. However, it made me sit very still, and I was almost in a trance. I mentally asked questions trying to understand why something like this noise should happen just then. In the past, the whining noise had always been a sign that someone somewhere was trying to mentally communicate with me but I could do no more than get the noise which represented a signal similar to a telephone ringing.

When I asked if something had "happened to our boys in the Falklands", I suddenly heard the intensity of the whine increase, and a terrible feeling of death overwhelm me. By this time a work colleague noticed I was not typing but staring into space and asked if I was alright. Yes, I replied, but told her that something had happened to our people in the Falklands. I had to leave my station and go into a rest room. The rest of the shift team were told what I had said, and although they were concerned the male members especially quietly laughed at my words.

Later, the "lads" went out to the local pub for "lunch"; the women stayed in the workplace. The lads suddenly came back early and their faces were very sombre. We were told that there had been a news broadcast on the pub's tv and two of our ships had been set alight by weapons and many people were killed. This was now 9pm. No-one laughed at my predictions again.

Strangely enough I learned later that 10 Downing Street were informed around 6pm, three hours before the broadcast. Could it be my mind intercepted this call? Was it telepathy rather than prediction? I don't know. All I do know is that I somehow knew something serious had happened, and this was the first time people were killed or injured in that conflict.

I leave it up to you to make what you will of this information.
