Amazing fact #158
In may 1812 a Cornish innkeeper had a dream on three successive nights
about the shooting of a leading politician in the House of Commons. He had no idea of the identity of the man in his dream but a friend said the description matched that of the Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval. Several days later, news reached Cornwall that Perceval had been shot dead in the House of Commons. |
