Perhaps
you have experienced strange
previews of future events. These premonition, or coincidences, as you
prefer,
are often startling and very realistic.
One such alarming glimpse into the future was experienced by the wife
of a
Swedish industrialist.
One night in 1939, Mrs. Axel Wenner-Gren started up the stairs on her
way to bed. It was past midnight, and most of the lights had been
extinguished. Only at the landing at the top of the stairs was it still
bright. Suddenly
a figure appeared before her on the top stair. It was a man, drenched
to the skin, as though he had been swimming. In his arms he held the
body of a
child. Across the child's forehead was a deep cut, which was bleeding.
Mrs. Wenner-Gren screamed, and the figures vanished. Upset and shaken,
she
described the apparition to her husband. He decided that she was
suffering
from nerves and suggested that they go off on a trip on their yacht,
the Southern Cross.
Shortly afterward, on the night of September 3, the yacht went to the
aid of
the Athenia, one of the first ships to be torpedoed in World War II.
The very
first person to come aboard the yacht was a drenched man, holding out
before
him the body of a dying child with a deep gash across the forehead. The
figures were the ones Mrs. Wenner-Gren had seen at the head of her
stairs, at
home!
