Future prophecy from Mother Shipton (England 1559)

Yeah, she was probably pissed at the time she wrote it. Thats why she lived in a cave, alone. Apart from loads of cats...

Apparently she stunk.

I loved Mother Shiptons prophecies. It would be great to prove she really lived and wrote them.

I still reckon the prophets are time travellers stuck back in time trying to warn future generations.....

If they were, why did they talk in riddles? If you've got something to say, just come out and say it - stop tangling it all up in weird crazy bullshit.

Her prophecies are so interesting. Some of the best out there. Ty OP!

The most famous claimed edition of Mother Shipton's prophecies foretells many modern events and phenomena. Widely quoted today as if it were the original, it contains over a hundred prophetic rhymed couplets in notably non-16th-century language and includes the now-famous lines:
The world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty one.[6]
However, this version did not appear in print until 1862, and its true author, one Charles Hindley, subsequently admitted in print that he had invented it.[7] This invented prophecy has appeared over the years with different dates and in (or about) several countries (for example in the late 1970s many news articles about Mother Shipton appeared setting the date at 1981[citation needed]). The 1920s (subsequently much reprinted) booklet The Life and Prophecies of Ursula Sontheil better known as Mother Shipton[8] stated the date as 1991.[9][10]

Among other well-known lines from Hindley's fake version (often quoted as if they were original) are:



A Carriage without a horse shall go;
Disaster fill the world with woe...
In water iron then shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat.
