1761年

In 1761, two earthquakes struck London: one on 1月8日, the other on 3月8日. William Bell, in his codex, predicted that a third earthquake would hit, destroying London and beginning the apocalypse, on 4月5日. He was imprisoned in Bedlam asylum, and his predictions proved inaccurate. (PROSE: Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses)
