238 | The Premonitions Bureau: Chasing The Impossible
October 21st, 1966. A sleepy Welsh village named Aberfan lies hushed beneath a gray dawn. At 9:13 a.m., the earth itself betrays it. The colliery spoil tip, swollen with rain, collapses in a roar of black sludge. It swallows Pantglas Junior School whole.
144 lives vanish—116 of them children. Their voices are silenced beneath the weight of coal waste. The nation mourns. The National Coal Board shrugs off blame. But amid the grief, whispers begin to surface. Whispers of dreams. Of warnings. A girl who saw the blackness coming. A boy who drew the end. A woman miles away who felt it in her bones. Could this tragedy have been foreseen? Could it have been stopped?
Today, we step into a strange corner of history—a tale of two men who dared to ask that question, and the shadowy experiment they built to chase the impossible.
This is the story of The Premonitions Bureau.
