Friday, not quite the 13th, not quite the apocalypse
I ran across this article on 13 apocalyptic scenarios that never happened, including a reference to
The Amazing Criswell:
PSYCHIC NEWSREADER
TV Newsreader turned psychic Charles Criswell King - "The Amazing Criswell" - said in 1968 that the world as we know it would cease to exist from August 18, 1999. He did however get one prediction right - in March 1963 he announced that John F Kennedy wouldn't run for re-election in 1964 because something was going to happen to him.
Reminds me of the movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. How Hollyweird!
