THE PROPHECY OF BLACK FRIDAY : The Aberfan Disaster | Chilling True Events

from Obscurata | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories

On October 21, 1966, a coal waste tip collapsed onto the Welsh village of Aberfan, burying a school and killing 144 people — most of them children. But in the days and weeks before the tragedy, strange warnings surfaced: a little girl’s dream of blackness engulfing her classroom, eerie drawings, and letters describing disaster. This is the haunting true story of the Aberfan disaster — a devastating man-made tragedy, and the chilling claims that some saw it coming before the mountain gave way.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/oct/14/aberfan-the-tragedy-that-shook-a-nationhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-37712646https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofWales/The-Aberfan-Disaster/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/world/europe/aberfan-disaster.htmlhttps://www.britannica.com/event/Aberfan-disasterhttps://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/aberfan-disaster-1966https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/aberfan-disaster-school-tragedy-1966-12056823https://www.historyextra.com/period/20th-century/aberfan-disaster-1966-facts-children-deaths-cause-queen-elizabeth-ii-visited/https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/may/06/the-haunting-legacy-of-the-premonitions-bureauhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/articles/200511/the-premonitions-bureauhttps://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-11-16/the-crown-aberfan-disaster-true-story/https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/story-survivor-little-girl-who-12064537https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-37704998https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160921-the-premonitions-bureauhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/aberfan-tragedy-queen-elizabeth-hillsborough-b2208320.htmlThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Thursday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.
