The 1966 Aberfan Disaster, in which a mountain of waste from a coal mine collapsed onto a Welsh village, killing 116 children and 28 adults, left a long-lasting mark on the British psyche.<\/p>\n

But some of its effects seemed to echo not just after the catastrophe, but somehow before it, breaking the 'time barrier': two of the children who died at Pantglas Junior School reportedly dreamed about the vast mudslide and drew pictures of it before it happened.<\/p>\n

Psychiatrist John Barker wondered if there was some scientific reason behind these visions of the future and set up the British Premonitions Bureau to investigate them.<\/p>\n

One particularly mysterious case that Barker investigated was the Hither Green railway disaster in South London.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Guy Fawkes\u2019 night, 1967, a packed commuter train on its way from Hastings in East Sussex to Charing Cross station derailed near the Hither Green maintenance depot. Eleven of the train\u2019s 12 carriages \u2013 many of them filled with standing passengers \u2013 keeled over killing 49 and injuring 78.<\/p>\n

Barker found two people who had foreseen the horrifying crash.<\/p>\n

Alan Hencher, a London-based telephone engineer who had already predicted a tragic air crash, was hit by a crippling headache at the moment of the train disaster and had to go home from work. He said he had foreseen a huge train crash in London.<\/p>\n
