r Ray Robinson and Jimmy Doyle

5.舒格·雷·羅賓遜和吉米·多利

準確預言自己死亡的十位名人(下)

Champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson made a bizarre prediction regarding his opponent's death. On June 25, 1947, he was supposed to fight Jimmy Doyle. In the days before the fight, Robinson made several complaints about a realistic dream he had where he killed Doyle in the fight with a left hook. The dream had troubled him so much that he made several attempts to back out of the fight.

"拳聖"舒格·雷·羅賓遜曾做了一個關於他對手之死的夢,這個夢詭異而靈驗。1947年6月25日,羅賓遜對戰吉米·多利。在賽前不久,羅賓遜就一再念叨說,他做了一個特別逼真的夢,夢見他在拳臺上用一記左勾拳將多利打死了。這個夢讓羅賓遜感到不安,他甚至好幾次都想着要退出比賽。

A priest was brought in to reassure him that the dream wouldn't come true and that he should proceed with the fight, to which he eventually agreed. Robinson was winning the fight, and in the eighth round he delivered a massive left hook to Doyle's head, knocking him unconscious. As the referee deemed Robinson the winner, it was soon realized that Doyle was a lot more than just out cold. He was rushed to a hospital where he died without regaining consciousness. Robinson's dream had played out exactly as he had imagined it.

一位神父安撫羅賓遜,告訴他那只是個夢,不會成真的,勸他繼續參加比賽,羅賓遜這才答應。比賽過程中,羅賓遜一直處於優勢地位,在第八回合,羅賓遜一記左勾拳有力地擊向多利的頭,將其打倒在地,昏迷不醒。當裁判準備宣佈羅賓遜爲最後贏家時,大家才意識到倒地的多利不只是輕微的失去知覺。他被火速送往醫院救治,然而卻再也沒有醒來,恰恰應驗了羅賓遜的那個夢。

4.皮特·馬拉維奇

Pete Maravich played basketball for both the Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks throughout the 1970s, and he's commonly regarded as one of the best basketball players of all time. In an interview with the Beaver County Times newspaper in 1974 Maravich made an odd comment regarding his death, saying, "I don't want to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at 40." In what's either an incredible coincidence or a very sick joke, Maravich died in 1988, after 10 years in the NBA, at the age of 40. Even more disturbingly, Maravich died despite being in seemingly perfect health because he was suffering from a rare and undiagnosed heart condition after being born without his left coronary artery.

20世紀70年代,皮特·馬拉維奇曾效力猶他爵士隊(Utah Jazz)和亞特蘭大老鷹隊(Atlanta Hawks),被認爲是史上最優秀的籃球運動員之一。1974年,在Beaver County Times報紙的採訪中,馬拉維奇曾說:"我可不想在NBA打十年球,然後40歲死於心臟病",這一奇怪的言論恰恰印證了其日後的死因。或許是純屬巧合,也或許是造化弄人,馬拉維奇死於1988年,時年40歲,正巧效力NBA10年。更不可思議的是,馬拉維奇雖然看着非常健康,但最後卻死於一種無法診斷的罕見的心臟病,心臟先天缺少一條左冠狀動脈。

Twain

3.馬克·吐溫

While Mark Twain is most known for his accomplishments in writing, it's a little-known fact that he's also said to have accurately predicted his own death. Twain was born in 1835 following the appearance of Halley's Comet, which comes about once every 75 years. A year prior to his death in 1909, Twain reportedly 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." Sure enough, the day following the comet's closest appearance to the Earth Twain had a heart attack, killing him on April 21, 1910, at the age of 75.

衆所周知,馬克·吐溫以其文學成就聞名於世,但大家可能不知道他還曾準確預見了自己的死。土溫出生於1835年,正巧趕上75年迴歸一次的哈雷慧星劃過長空。據說在土溫逝世的前一年1909年,他曾寫下如是文字:"我在1835年與哈雷彗星同來。明年它將復至,我希望與它同去。如果不能與哈雷彗星一同離去,將爲我一生中最大的遺憾。上帝無疑說過:茲有兩種莫名其妙的怪物,他們既同來,就該同去。"巧的是,一年後的1910年4月21日,哈雷彗星到達距地球最近點的第二天,時年75歲的吐溫心臟病病發而死。

cess Diana

2.戴安娜王妃

準確預言自己死亡的十位名人(下) 第4張

In what seems to be more of a conspiracy theory than a prediction, it was recently discovered that Princess Diana predicted her demise months before it actually happened. A letter written by the Princess to her trusted butler, Paul Burrell, explained strange feelings she had about getting into some sort of car accident. It was thought that Diana had been given some information by people who were close to the Princess about a plot that was in the works against her.

戴安娜王妃的死,與其說是預言,不如說是一場陰謀論。不過最近有調查發現,戴安娜王妃在出事的好幾個月前,就覺出了不詳的預兆。她曾給自己特別信任的皇室管家保羅·伯勒爾(Paul Burrell)寫過一封信,信中她說總覺得自己會死於一起車禍。據說有王子身邊的親信給戴安娜王妃傳信,告訴她王子正在密謀準備"解決"她。

Written in October, 1996 following her separation from Prince Charles, she claimed, "This phase in my life is the most dangerous," and that someone was "planning an accident in my car." The letter even went as far as to name the individuals she thought would be responsible for the assassination. With the multitude of ways Princess Diana could have died or been assassinated, it seems odd that she died in the exact way she had expected. Now on one hand, the letter itself has been proven to be written in Diana's handwriting, but on the other it only surfaced when Burrell needed to market a book he wrote about her. Whether you call it conspiracy or coincidence you can't deny that it was a bizarre prediction.

戴安娜給管家的信寫於1996年10月,與查爾斯解除婚約不久,她在信中寫道:"這段時間是我一生中最危險的時期",有人"正在密謀一場致我於死的車禍"。在信裏,黛安娜還把自己能想到的可能計劃實施這場暗殺行動的人的名字寫了下來。令人感到蹊蹺的是,在那麼多可以暗殺戴安娜的方式中,戴安娜真的就如自己料想般死於車禍。雖然已經證實這封信的確是戴安娜的字跡,但因爲它是在管家伯勒爾準備出版其關於黛安娜生活的新書之際現世的,所以人們對該信的真實性仍有疑慮。不過,不管這是場陰謀還是純屬巧合,我們無法否認這個預言真的讓人很匪夷所思。

y Welsh

1.米奇·威爾什

Mikey Welsh, the bassist for Weezer, received a lot of media attention in 2011 after he supposedly predicted his death on Twitter based on a dream he had. Many years of drugs and battling personality disorders had taken their toll on the 40 year-old musician, though he had seemed in pretty good health. On September 26, 2011, Welsh tweeted that he had "dreamt I died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). Need to write my will today." He then quickly corrected his statement to "the weekend after next."

美國搖滾樂隊Weezer的貝斯手米奇·威爾什曾在推特(Twitter)上發文,說他夢見自己即將離世,該預言最終應驗,受到媒體廣泛關注。雖然這位40歲的音樂家看上去很健康,但多年的藥物濫用及精神崩潰已經透支了他的身體。2011年9月26日,威爾什發佈了一條推特,寫道"夢見自己下週會在芝加哥因心臟病而死亡,所以現在得趕緊立遺囑了"。很快他又更正"不對,是下下週末"。

In addition to these odd predictions, he had made a recent Facebook post advertising a piece of $250 art he had made that said, "if I am still alive at time of purchase, price to increase exponentially if I expire prematurely." Welsh then died in a Chicago hotel room at the exact time he had predicted. While the police feel drugs may have been involved, the toxicology report was inconclusive and the exact reasons remain a mystery.

除了這些邪門的預言,威爾什生前還曾在臉書(Facebook)上發佈過一條動態,給一幅他自己畫的藝術作品標價250美元:"如果你買這畫的時候我還活着,畫就標價250美元;如果你買的時候我已死去,這幅畫的價格將成倍增加"。沒過多久,威爾什就在芝加哥的一間酒店裏離奇暴斃,而時間恰巧是他所預言的那天。警方懷疑威爾什是服食過量毒品導致意外身亡,但毒理學檢測報告還未證實,所以其確切死因至今仍是個迷。
