No matter, here is your chance to prove that you can predict the future in our annual old-year, new-year event. This tradition began in the Paranormal Forum, and that’s where we still post the annual invitation and where many readers submit their predictions for the coming year.
There are several categories for which you can make your forecasts:
- Best World Event
- Worst World Event
- Best National (U.S.) Event
- Worst National (U.S.) Event
- Greatest Scientific Discovery/Invention/etc.
- Awards Predictions (Oscars/Grammies/Nobel Prize)
- Surprise Prediction
- Other Predictions
We want you to participate, whether you think you’ve got a sixth sense or not. Just go to the “Your Predictions for 2007” section of the Forum and REPLY with your predictions.
You can respond to as many or as few of the categories as you want. If you prefer, you can also just e-mail your predictions to me at: paranormal.guide@about.com.
2006 Predictions
How well did our prognosticators do for 2006? You can read highlights of the 2006 predictions in this article. Unfortunately, we didn’t do very well. The only hits I could find include:
- “People with property near the coast will have a year free of worries about hurricanes.”
- “An investigation into Bush's administration’s activities; the chance of an impeachment will seem enhanced and may actually occur in 2007.”
- “Best actor Oscar goes to Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote.”
Major misses include:
- “Coalition troops will begin the process of pulling out of Iraq, as the insurgency dies a slow death.”
- “UFO aliens contact non-military or political people in high places.”
- “War will break out between Iran and Israel, with Russia behind Iran's back.”
- “George Bush is impeached or resigns.”
- “Death will be totally explained as well as ghosts, EVP, dreaming.”
I know we can do better this year. Get out your crystal ball, your scrying mirror, your tea leaves... or contact your spirit guides... then submit your best predictions for 2007. Hopefully it will be a year of peace and prosperity for all.
Your deadline for submissions is January 1, 2006. Once all the predictions are in, I’ll post highlights in a January article.
I predict we’ll do better this year.
