Man accurately predicted the future 20 years ago in this eerie letter
<p><span>Tradesmen have discovered a letter hidden inside a bathroom wall in a Rozelle home in NSW containing predictions of the future made more than 20 years ago.</span></p>
<p><span>The letter was written by Greg Wilkinson, now 61, who included a photo of him and his wife Roslyn Green on their wedding day.</span></p>
<p><span>“Hello whoever you are,” the letter starts.</span></p>
<p><span>“This letter was put into this stud wall on Easter Saturday, 15th April, 1995. It is pissing down and so a good day to be renovating.”</span></p>
<p><span>“Ros reckons you will be reading this in the year 2020. I built the wall, and I reckon closer to 2060,” he wrote.</span></p>

<p><span>Greg details in his letter that he and his wife purchased their house in 1987 for $170,000, describing it as “uninhabitable” and undergoing renovations.</span></p>
<p><span>Greg also revealed how his wife Roslyn was expecting a child and “because she is an inquisitive type” knew the baby was going to be a boy.</span></p>
<p><span>Greg was sailing in Croatia when the letter was uncovered by the tradesmen. He told Fairfax his wife tragically died from breast cancer two years after the letter was written.</span></p>
<p><span>“I feel quite emotional having seen it. All that water under the bridge for me and the world. My beautiful Ros looking back at me from the past,” he said.</span></p>

<p><span>In his letter, Greg made predictions about the future including how Islam would be the “next ideological problem” facing the world, plunging parts of the world into a “holy war”.</span></p>
<p><span>He also predicted China would be the next big economic superpower, warning Australia could be a target if it decided it needed more space.</span></p>
<p><span>Greg also described life in 1995, explaining how the price of a loaf of bread was $2.25 and “surfing” the internet was a new craze.</span></p>
<p><span>“Hope I haven’t made the future look too bleak, but if one focuses on the problems of today, they would probably seem bleaker. We’re however, having a ball,” he said.</span></p>
<p><span>“We hope you enjoy living here as we did”.</span></p>
<p><span>The letter was posted to Facebook and has attracted attention due to Greg’s accurate insights.</span></p>
<p><span>Greg has thanked users for their encouragement commenting on the photo, “What a hoot. You have all been so kind and complimentary.”</span></p>
