We all wonder what our last words might be. Most of us imagine something profound or loving, a final message for those we leave behind. Well, there are some really strange stories of people who did more than just say goodbye. Some famous people seemed to know exactly what was coming, and it’s something unsettling: a clear, final thought that happened to come true, word for word. These are the moments when a person’s final prediction became reality.
#1: Mark Twain
Halley’s Comet brought Mark Twain into the world in 1835, a huge entrance for a man who would live a great life. He never forgot his cosmic connection to the celestial event. In 1909, as the comet was scheduled to return, Twain told his biographer that he expected to leave with it. “The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together’.” He died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, just one day after the comet made its closest pass to Earth.
