Have you ever had a bad dream, or an ominous feeling that…something terrible was going to happen? Some take those feelings very seriously indeed. They might even change their plans in light of that foreboding.

However, many others would simply put this all down to superstition, worry…or plain overthinking.

Today on Our Curious Past we explore a series of disasters that culminate in a catastrophe that would devastate a small Welsh town in the 19th century. Yet we will learn that a staggering number of people sensed that the incident would happen.
