Still very rookie on this vast message board, I'll post to the general thread related to Doomsday prophecies, rather than starting a new thread on a specific date of a failed doomsday prediction.
This one is one I've heard about by word of mouth only, and cannot find any written documentation on.
In early 1965, I was told by both kids at school, and one teacher, that there was a report on CBS Evening News, about a woman possibly in Colorado, who had gotten the word directly from God Himself, that the "End of the World," would occur on March 16 of 1965.
Just what kind of disaster, natural, or human made would cause the World to End on that date, was not specified, but this woman and her followers were planning to survive the catastrophe by staying in a cave, with oxygen tanks.
I have mentioned this on other message boards and have found other people living way back then, who also remember hearing about this failed End of the World prophecy, but they do not know the details either.
I have not joined Newspaper Archive, but have had some limited use of their search engine, and have gotten results from my searches on March 16 1965 Doomsday Prediction, but not being a member, have only gotten total numbers of newspaper stories in different states of the USA, with no specific newspapers or dates in 1965 of the reports.
Had anyone else here on the board heard of this apparently mostly forgotten and obscure Doomsday prediction?
