“In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror…
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city…”
“In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning”
Nostradamus
Sounds right on to me, given what happened. Others disagree, claiming that Nostradamus’s predictions often made sense in hindsight and in a vague sense. Recent history was a better predictor to 9/11 than Nostradamus. The Al-Quaeda gave us plenty of warning when they attacked the WTC in Feburary of 1993.

Producer John Harrison and George Romero will begin shooting the next zombie movie, Diary of the Dead, in October. Harrison told iFmagazine it’s not a sequel to the popular zombie movies. The only difference I see in the plot is that a diary is going to be thrown in to chronicle the kiddie’s journey home. It will be interesting to see if anyone is left alive to read it.

I’ve watched a documentaries and read stories about the people who have missed doomed flights, and they’ve never failed to give me a chill. For several of these people, the premonition factor had nothing to do with why they never made it to the airport. Life made the decision for them, either through a subconscious choice or outside forces, such as their car breaking down.
The remaining would-be passenters experienced uncharacteristic anxiety attacks (or an overwhelming sense of dread that they couldn’t shake) that caused them to miss their flights. They took the next flight or stayed home, feeling like a crazy person. Later, they would hear that their intended flight had crashed, killing most or all on board.
Quoted from Atlantis Rising Magazine
For most people, the difference between a fear and a premonition is that fears are vague and not unusual. Premonitions, on the other hand, seem to come spontaneously, and often with great force and clarity. In fact, for most people, the problem is not recognizing a premonition, but acting upon it.
The Atlantis Rising article (see link above) give some chilling accounts of premonitions of famous disasters. I’ve included links to a more articles below, but the Atlantis is the best one on the subject.

The building that serves as the Napa River Inn was originally a family-owned mill, built in 1884. Located in the heart of California’s wine country, the Inn attracts tourists worldwide. Not everyone visits for the wine and culture, however. Many come to see the Inn’s ghosts.
The Woman in White
This ghost is believed to be the wife of Albert Edward Hatt, Jr., who hung himself in his family’s warehouse on April 1, 1912. Reports from hotel staff and guests suggest that she is looking for someone, possibly her beloved husband.
Robert Keig
Bought the Napa Mill Feed Store from Captain A. Hatt in 1912. In 2003, a couple saw walking down the staircase and asked him where the restaurant was.
The man said, “This is no dining establishment, this is Napa Milling and I’m the owner, Robert Keig.”
The couple walked past him, catching a whiff of hay and grain, and saw a picture of him, dated sometime in 1912. Imagine how they felt when they saw that Keig hadn’t aged a bit.
Rooms 207 & 208
Guests who come for the ghosts request these rooms because of the high level of paranormal activity. Room 208 sits above what is now the Sweetie Pie Bakery, the site of Albert Hatt’s death. The room is reportedly haunted by people dressed in period garb.
I’ve included two links for you to check out. The first chronicles the families that owned the mill, and the second contains spooky stories from the employees of the hotel.
