1. Titanic and the mummy’s curse. There was a rumor that the Titanic was carrying an Egyptian mummy “with a deadly curse” and that was the cause of the disaster. Although it was denied, the story was still widely circulated many years later. Photo: Pinterest.
2. The novel that “predicted” the Titanic disaster. In 1898 – 14 years before the Titanic sank – writer Morgan Robertson wrote “Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan”, about a ship named Titan that sank after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The terrifying similarities led many to believe that it was a prophecy. Photo: Pinterest.
3. Billionaire “near death” because he forgot his watch. American billionaire Milton Hershey – the father of the Hershey chocolate empire – booked a seat on the Titanic but canceled at the last minute. The initial reason was said to be that he forgot his watch and changed his schedule. Photo: Pinterest.
4. The letter that predicted death. A passenger named Esther Hart wrote a letter to England on the fateful night, in which she described a “strange premonition” about the trip. The letter got wet in the sea but is still preserved and on display today. Photo: Pinterest.
5. The cat that heralded disaster. A cat living on board the ship named Jenny – who was treated as a mascot by the crew – is said to have abandoned the ship just before departure, taking her litter with her. Some sailors believed it was a bad omen and withdrew from the voyage. Photo: Pinterest.
6. The music box that saved and the strange dream. A passenger named Edith Rosenbaum carried a lucky pig-shaped music box that she believed had been "predicted" to save her. When the ship sank, the pig's music soothed the fears of children in the lifeboats and helped everyone stay calm. Photo: Pinterest.
7. The man who miraculously survived twice. A Japanese sailor named Masabumi Hosono survived the Titanic amid discrimination for “not dying like a man”. But it is worth mentioning that he also escaped death from a major train accident in Japan a few years ago. Photo: Pinterest.
