The UK voted to leave the EU. Donald Trump is President of the United States of America. And Beyoncé is pregnant.
All facts.
All facts a mysterious Twitter user predicted several months before they happened.
Yes, the people of the internet are losing their minds over the discovery of a seemingly psychic account operating under the handle Beyoncefan666.
We’re going to overlook the fact that this Nostradamus put Queen Bey’s name anywhere near Satan’s call sign, because… well, we’re a little frightened that he/she may have special powers/be able to travel through space and time.
Here’s why.
First, there was this Tweet in June, 2016, five months before the US presidential election.
On that same June day, came this – nine days before the UK said “EU later:
Yes, okay. In both cases, Beyoncefan666 did have a 50-50 chance of accuracy: Trump v Hillary Clinton (their party’s presumptive nominees at that point) and ‘Yes’ v ‘No’.
But then came this on 22 July last year:
FACT. Yesterday, February 2, the singing superstar announced she is indeed with child. Okay, two children. But still.
There are other predictions, too - all pop culture and politics related. From the timing of Lady Gaga's album to the outcome of X Factor UK.
Beyonce's pregnancy-announcement photos.
So, who is this person? And what kind of wizardry is this?
The only clues this Tweeter has given about their identity is that he/she is from the UK and "a parkwood intern". Beyoncé does have a management company called Parkwood Entertainment based in New York, so if our Tweeter works there it would provide him/her with unique insight.
But it doesn't explain the foresight.
That, our mystery Tweeter puts down to being "low key psychic".
For the sake of healthy scepticism, let's go ahead and assume that's not true.
How then? After all, unlike Facebook and Instagram, you can't back-date posts on Twitter.
All we can guess is that the account was previously private and the user posted dozens of predictions, then went public after deleting the ones that turned out to be wrong.
For the believers out there, we'll leave you with this:

Well, you don't need to be a psychic to predict that America will be 'crashing and burning' under Trump's leadership. That is cognitive base level human common sense. A drover's dog could have figured out what the result of his leadership would be. But, I still cannot wait for it to happen and am going to enjoy it! :D
Who is causing all that 'crashing and burning'?
A poster wrote, Rosa Parkes refused to get off the bus, she didn't trash the bus.
All this outrage from the left has been magnificent, the more rioting and damage the left does the more people will turn against them, it's happening already.
The push back is coming.
You will lose and lose badly and it will be spectacular.
Rioting and damage? Really? Two incidents? Sorry, but face the facts. The push back is here, and Trump will crash and burn spectacularly. It is already happening. And I hope all those that voted for him lose their home and livelihoods. It is the only way to teach them.
What a horrible petty thing to say. People have the right to vote for whoever they wish to. Just because our political views are different does not mean I wish bad things to happen to others. Wishing for a loss of home and livelihood is absolutely horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Ordinarily I would agree. But Trump is evil and abhorrent, and he will see America burning. Those who were warned but still voted for him, deserve what they get. I think that is pretty fair, understandable and straight forward.
