Description

In 1966, psychiatrist Dr. John Barker arrived in a Welsh village devastated by a coal waste pit collapse. What he heard there—accounts of dreams, dread, and warnings before the disaster—led him to launch a strange and unprecedented project: The Premonitions Bureau.

A place where anyone could report a vision of the future.

In this episode, we explore:

• The nightmare that predicted Aberfan

• How the Bureau collected and analyzed “warnings”

• The two dreamers with chilling accuracy

• The prediction that shook Barker

• And the one he never lived to confront

A story where psychology, intuition, and time itself get blurry.
