Mark Twain predicts his own death

Mark Twain, famous American author known for his literary classics Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, may not have been known as a psychic, but he accurately and eerily predicted his own death. Twain was born when Halley's Comet passed by earth in 1835.

 

He said:

 

"I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. 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 the day it appeared again in 1910. 

 

He also predicted the death of his own brother. He had a very vivid dream that detailed his younger brother's untimely demise.

 

In his dream his younger brother was lying in a metal coffin with flowers placed on his chest. Sam mentioned the dream to his sister but told his brother nothing. Instead he urged his brother, who also worked on the steamboats, to be careful and advised, "Don’t lose your head." Assigned to different boats they parted company. Later Sam learned that the boilers in Henry's boat blew-up. His brother was one of the casualties.
