This Facebook user has managed to fool over 2 lakh people overnight with 1 status! Confused? Well, a user by the name Pablo Reyes shared a December 2015 status on his Facebook wall in which he had made predictions of ‘Death of Muhammad Ali’. ‘Death of Prince’ and ‘Death of Harambe the Gorilla’. In this, he also predicted about Hilary Clinton being appointed as the 1st female president and about the Death of Donald Trump. The post read,
“Call me crazy but in 2016 Hillary Clinton will be the first female president, the world will go crazy over the death of a gorilla, Prince will die, Muhammad Ali will die, Kimbo Slice will die, Donald Trump will die. The USA will experience the worst mass shooting .. I’m not trying to scare anyone, but you’ll remember my name.”
Yes, Pablo’s Facebook status had received around 97k likes and over 1.37 lakh shares. Users were convinced as well as shocked, since some of the predictions he made in 2015 came out to be true this year! Surprised as to how he knew all this beforehand? Well, thanks to the ‘Edit’ button!
Pablo has very smartly used the ‘Edit’ button to fool everyone. Well, he had posted a completely different status last year on 27th of December 2015, which he just edited and re-shared. Moreover, this status was edited on 13th of June 2016 at around 8 a.m, i.e. 24 hours after Orlando shooting (One of his prediction in his edited status).
See his December 2015 post!
