Does anyone have any guesses for non-supernatural ways she could have predicted these things?

In England, Midsummer Day falls on Sunday June 24, 2018, the feast of St John the Baptist.

I was unaware that Midsummer was a product of religious insanity. My bad.
Still, the Gregorian shift will have knackered that too, wouldn't it?

Doesn't sound like compelling evidence for the supernatural to me, in fact I wouldn't even go so far as to say it was puzzling at all.
If I predicted that my 4 year old car would break down within a year or so, would that be more or less likely than her capture, and what supernatural agency would be more believable to you if it did break down with only a month to go?

Hermit wrote:By the way, what is an "ambivalentskeptic"? Is that someone who is always a sceptic, except when he is not? Asking because I have a vision of you as a believer in the existence of some supernatural power who pretends to be a sceptic.
