The video published by British medium Craig Hamilton-Parker, known as the "Oracle of Doomsday", on September 24, came to the fore again days later with news of a death coming from Russia.
After Hamilton-Parker suggested that a bacterial disease affecting the chest and lungs would emerge in the future, the development in Siberia sparked the question "Did the prophecy come true?" on social media. started the discussion.
'IT MAY AFFECT THE CHEST AND LUNGS'
In the video he published, Hamilton-Parker claimed that there would be a new epidemic in the future. Claiming that the disease in question would be bacterial, the British psychic claimed that the chest and lungs would be especially affected.
However, Hamilton-Parker's narrative was not limited to this. The medium also talked about two Tibetan monks who visited him at his home.
According to his claim, the monks explained that there was information about the upcoming epidemic in ancient texts and that a treatment that could be applied against the disease in question was mentioned.
Just a few days after Hamilton-Parker's statement, news of a death from the Siberian region of Russia caused the old video to re-circulate on social media.
THE DEATH OF A 28-YEAR-OLD RESEARCHER DRAWED ATTENTION
It was reported that 28-year-old Darya Shipilova, who worked at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Irkutsk, died after a severe lung infection.
It was reported that the young employee was hospitalized on September 29 and died on October 2. The fact that the institution where Shipilova worked was a specialized center conducting direct plague research caused the news of her death to attract more attention.
Then, a much more striking claim was put forward in some news. Accordingly, Shipilova may have accidentally broken a tube containing live plague bacteria in the laboratory and as a result was exposed to pneumonic plague. However, this claim has not been conclusively confirmed at this stage.
APPROXIMATELY 200 PEOPLE WERE TAKEN UNDER SUPERVISION
After the death of the young researcher, people with possible contact came to the fore. It was reported that approximately 200 people who were thought to have come into contact with Shipilova were put under medical supervision. News was published that more than 60 people working at the institute were isolated within the facility.
Following the developments, only one question stood out on social media: "Has the new pandemic started?"
However, there is currently no confirmed information that would enable us to say “yes” to this question. There is no officially confirmed statement that the incident in Russia is the beginning of a new epidemic.
SO IS IT REALLY A 'PROPHECY'?
Although there is remarkable timing between Hamilton-Parker's words and the death in Russia, there is not yet enough evidence to establish a direct link between the two events.
One of the most important reasons for this is that the medium's explanation does not describe a specific country, disease, date or event. The phrase “a bacterial disease affecting the lungs” alone does not indicate that he knew about the case in Russia.
Moreover, even if it is determined that Shipilova's cause of death was plague, this will not prove that Hamilton-Parker foresaw the event.
Associating vague and far-reaching predictions with subsequent events is known to be a common occurrence in prophecy claims.
IT ALSO CAME TO THE AGENDA WITH COVID AND TRUMP CLAIMS
Craig Hamilton-Parker had previously come to the fore with similar allegations. The British psychic had previously claimed that he predicted the Covid-19 epidemic. Some of the videos he published in 2019 and 2020 were brought to the agenda again as a "prediction" following the coronavirus outbreak.
Hamilton-Parker also claimed that Donald Trump had mentioned an assassination attempt on his life in one of his old statements.
Trump was attacked with a gun during his election rally on July 13, 2024, and his right ear was injured in the attack. After the incident, Hamilton-Parker argued that the attack in question confirmed his prediction.
However, there is no evidence that the medium's statements are accepted as a scientific prediction.
