		<description>You&#039;re exploring premonitory fiction in novels, but what about the more popular forms of entertainment media in our own age?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Surely many are familiar with the tale of how eerily similar the infamous events of 9/11 were, when compared to the plot of the X-Files spinoff The Lone Gunmen&#039;s episode in which a plane controlled by a computer program crashes on the WTC.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think it would be also interesting to investigate if there are cases of premonition in popular music, like rock &amp; roll songs.</description>

		<description>Great article, but you&#039;ve left out my favourite: the 1898 book Futility by Morgan Robertson. It&#039;s supposedly about an unsinkable ship called the Titan, which collides with an ice berg on it&#039;s maiden voyage. As far as I can remembe the description of the Titan is surprisingly similar to the Titanic in other ways as well. But again, this story is said to have been written some 14 years prior to the Titanic tragedy!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thinking about this I realize it&#039;s been years since I saw this story, has it been debunked?</description>

		<description>Wow! Another great example. Here&#039;s one more for ya: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;H.P. Lovecraft also wrote in his most famous work, The Call of Cthulhu, that the sunken city of R&#039;lyeh was found at 47°9′S 126°43′W, close to what is known today as the oceanic pole of inaccessibility. In the 1990s, a strange noise was recorded deep beneath the Pacific Ocean using submerged hydrophones, which seemed to emanate from the same general location. Experts with NOAA, along with several respected biologists including marine biologist Dr. Phil Lobel, offered opinions on what caused the sound. Many felt the noise maintained several &quot;acoustic hallmarks&quot; of a large animal. The difference between this noise and, for instance, known whale song, is that this sound suggested acoustically something large enough to devour a Blue Whale! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Affectionately named &quot;Bloop&quot;, it was never conclusively identified... which begs the question: did Lovecraft predict the presence of a gigantic monstrosity beneath the Pacific ocean with one of his strangest occult fiction stories?</description>

		<description>I found an example of precognition provable in fiction.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Stephen King&#039;s book, &quot;Dreamcatcher&quot; (about the invasion of Earth by an alien with repulsive albeit somewhat humorous methods of reproduction) written in 1999, published in 2001 and reprinted in 2003, there is a scene containing a singular one time reference of main character Owen Underhill&#039;s family, wife and daughter KATRINA and RITA.  The names were psychically transmitted from one character to another, as proof of the psychic phenomena and to gain that person&#039;s attention.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I thought that pairing of names was coincidental and strange as hell, as they were not linked in any way until the epic destruction caused by hurricanes of the same name in 2005.  I suppose it is possible that the folks picking hurricane names were Stephen King fans, but they still could not have purposely picked this pair of names knowing these storms would prove to be so destructive.  And the letters of these storms are not adjacent; there is no reason for King to have paired them that I am aware of.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stephen King has got some amazing ideas about the structure of the universe, and has said in other books that he, as the author, channels alternate realities.  Anyway...I just thought that was a trip, and tangentially related.</description>
