Mitar Tarabic lived in Kremna, Serbia in the latter half of the 19th century. An illiterate shepherd, a loner who enjoyed the company of his flock of sheep more than the company of people. Mitar started predicting things confiding what he'd "been told" to the local Orthodox priest, including -- it turned out with absolute accuracy - the time and circumstances of his own death. After Mitar died his nephew, Milos, inherited "the gift." The priest Zachary Zacharic wrote down the predictions out of pure curiosity. The Tabarics predicted there would be three World Wars and that the priest himself would die the same year the first war ended. When in fact Serbia was occupied by Austrian and Bulgarian troops in World War I and the Serbian army was bogged down in Macedonia, troops in the trenches had only one question for those who made it through enemy lines with news from Serbia: "Is the priest from Kremna still alive?"The priest died and the war ended in the same year - 1918.
