Eerie Echoes: Psychic Visions of the Titanic Disaster With Terry Keefe

1 hour 30 minutes

In 1912, the RMS Titanic, touted as the "unsinkable" marvel, met a tragic fate, plunging into the icy depths of the North Atlantic. With over 1,500 lives lost, the disaster shook the world, marking a pivotal moment in maritime history and leaving an indelible legacy of human resilience and sacrifice.

Premonitions of The Titanic

Passengers cancelled their tickets for Titanic's maiden voyage out of apprehension; a famous social reformer who died on Titanic, was warned in 1911 that he would be in danger from water in April 1912; inhabitants of the remote islands of Fiji were aware of the sinking before reports of the collision reached the Pacific; a dying girl who, on 14 April 1912, saw a big ship sinking in the water and mysteriously knows the name of the violinist in Titanic's orchestra. These are just a few of the numerous claims to psychic foreknowledge of the ship's sinking. Within days of the widely-publicised disaster of 1912, stories began circulating of extraordinary omens and individuals who supposedly had supernatural premonitions of the disaster.
