Bizarre Premonitions
After having nightmares for ten consecutive nights about a
DC-10 crash, Cincinnati office manager David Booth called
American Airlines on May 22, 1979. Three days later, 273
people died when an American DC-10 crashed at Chicago.
In 1896, German psychic Madame de Ferriem had a vision of
bodies being carried out of a coal mine at Dux in Bohmeia
in bitterly cold weather. A year later hundreds were killed
by an explosion in a coal mine in Dux during a cold spell.
"Fugitive" star David Jensen had a dream in 1980 where he saw
himself being carried out in a coffin after a heart attack.
His psychic's advise to go in for a physical came too late,
for two days later Jensen died of a massive heart attack.
On the morning of April 14, 1965, Julia Grant, wife of US
General Ulysses S. Grant had a strong feeling that she and
her husband should get out of Washington. As they were
leaving, the couple passed John Wilkes Booth on his way to
assassinate President Lincoln at the theatre. Grant was also
found to be on Booth's death list.

LAGOS, Nigeria - A witch "spelled" big trouble for a man
when she allegedly stole his tallywacker. It is widely believed in
Nigeria that witches have the power to steal men's sexual
organs by an incantation or a handshake. The woman had been
stripped and beaten by a mob before being dragged down a busy
road half-naked, although witnesses admitted to police that
they did not see the actual theft take place. They reported
that they just took the man's word as he "held tightly on to
his trousers." ......{eek2}

PORT ST JOHN, Florida - A Florida man was in for quite a
shock after climbing a power plant transformers to avoid
being caught by police. The 35-year-old man was being pursued
by police officers in Port St John, Florida, after a domestic
dispute with his estranged wife. He slashed all four tires on
their car, ripped off the windshield wipers and fled before
the police arrived. To avoid being caught, the man climbed
over a barbed wire fence surrounding a Florida Power and Light
power plant. According to Deputy Bruce Dowdy, "There was a
loud boom and a puff of smoke," said Deputy Bruce Dowdy. "We
observed him coming out of the power structure on fire."
About two-third of homeowners in the outlying area lost
power for about 30 minutes following the incident. The man,
who remained conscious, burned most of his upper body and
head. {fire}
------------------------------------------------------------
TIMISORA, Romania - While engaged in the heat of passion, a
41-year-old man suffocated to death from car exhaust fumes in
his own garage. Vasile Cotovanu started the engine of his car
to keep warm while having sex to 35-year-old neighbor Viorica
Muresan. Obviously engrossed in what they were doing, neither
noticed that they were suffocating. The pair was found by the
man's son who called an ambulance. Muresan remains in a coma
in a nearby hospital.
------------------------------------------------------------
SAUDI ARABI - A group of baboons out for revenge waited
at the side of a mountain road for the driver that had killed
one of their own. The primates laid in wait and ambushed the
driver on the same mountain road in southwest Saudi Arabia
where the baboon had been run down earlier in the week. After
spotting the car responsible for the death, one of the apes
screamed out a signal to the rest to attack, provoking the
frenzied stone throwing. Although the driver was able to
escape, the apes reportedly broke the windshield of his car.

OHIO - Drew Barrymore won over America's heart in E.T. and
recently packed a powerful punch in Charlie's Angels. Now,
students at Oberlin College will be allowed to receive one
credit toward their final degree if they choose to study the
life and times of the young actress. The course has been
organized by the Experimental College, a student-run
department which has previously given students the chance to
study the Art and Science of Home Brewing and Whiskey
Appreciation. The final exam for the Barrymore course involves
students performing a satirical sketch based on a scene from
one of Drew's films

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - One thing you will never lack in this
hotel is plenty of ice. That's because Sweden's annual all-
ice hotel is growing in size to accommodate increasing demand,
with about 10,000 guests already booked for its chilly rooms.
That's right, an all-ice hotel. Apparently the tradition began
11 years ago when the owner of the village inn started making
ice and snow displays to attract tourists to the little town
of Jukkasjaervi, just outside of Stockholm. When tourists
started sleeping in the igloos for the novelty of it the
idea was born. The current structure has 45 rooms and 15
suites. But don't think you'll be roughing it at this five
cube hotel. Guests also get a breakfast buffet, a shower
and a sauna in facilities about 100 yards from the building.

UPLAND, California - When Maria Blackburn opened the abandoned
storage unit she bought at auction, the last thing she expected
to find was a body. But enclosed among wedding pictures,
champagne glasses and other personal effects was the body of
Robert Bourk. The details of Bourk's death have not been
released, but his widow, Darlene Bourk, has been charged with
the murder. Upland police Lt. Ed Gray said Bourk would have
remained listed as missing had his wife not failed to pay the
self-storage facility.
