Did Mark Twain predict when he would die?
Mark Twain, known for his humor and wit, was born shortly after Halley's Comet appeared in 1835.
In 1909, Twain is quoted as saying: “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.”
Mark Twain was in London in 1897 on a speaking tour worldwide. While he was in London, a rumor started that he was seriously ill. This was followed by a rumor that he was dead. The story goes that an American newspaper printed Twain's obituary. Supposedly after that, when asked about all this by a reporter, Twain said: The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
However, his prediction was accurate—Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.
