Psychic's predictions for 2012 -- From 30 years ago. [CONFIRMED HOAX]

actually, the resemblence to that newspaper picture is very striking!

1. Crooked finger
2. The bottom lip has the same shape
3. Nose is similar shape
4. He might of put on some weight or some stretching has happened with the image somewhere.
5. Shape of the eye brows....ok so the newspaper he has got shades on, but you can clearly make out the upper profile of his eyebrows and they match the video too.
6. And clincher for me.....look at the hair, EXACT! Theres a piece of hair on that video still thats kinda in the middle of the 2 main masses of hair, just laying on his forehead....look at the newspaper, that same piece of hair is there, but only its swept to the left.

Either someones attention to detail in this hoax is IMPECCABLE...or its legit....and I dont know which is more amazing.

Oh Man!!

Just when I thought the hoax was finally verified, this little tidbit (newspaper article) pops up.

The plot thickens.....

Can anyone provide a translation for the article?

This is nothing more than a new hoax piece to this viral marketing. The name doesn't produce anything in Google which is strange considering he "killed many people". We don't even have the name of the paper. Don't make me look in the archives of every French newspaper just to show you this is not real, please.

Oh I agree with you. But they are persistent aren't they? I like how the Pope visiting Paris article is smaller than the psychic murderer one.

It would be very easy to fabricate a section of paper like that.

Still....I would like to know what the article states for entertainments sake

Ok ill play. I dare you to look in the archives of every French newspaper just to show you this is not real, please.

It's totally another piece of fabrication. They have either just photo shopped the picture [perhaps even photo shopped a little too to give a few years?] over a real article or constructed the whole article, probably the latter... the writing looks very... um dark and clear edged.. compare it to the writing and picture of the article underneath it which looks different. You can see the difference clearly on the headers.

I don't believe it. I can't find ANYTHING on this guy, and a convicted murder on the run for 22 years would have left a trace in the media bigger than that.
But I am waiting to see what documents this guy comes up with. I find the wording of the article bizarre- it just doesn't sound like usual journalistic jargon. It also does not give certain details which normally would be given- like it says the guy had been on the run for 22 years, after being given a jail sentence...... without saying for what!

My intuition is just screaming hoax still.

I'm the owner of www.tvqc.com/, the guy who comment on my site has personally contact me and send me the photo and i have his name and some more info.

here is the mail he sent me.

Bonjour monsieur,

Avant toutes choses, sachez que je prends quelques précautions à dévoiler ces documents.
Certes, l'affaire est passée, mais cette vidéo (qui doit être fausse à mon avis) me trouble au plus haut point.
La personne (ou le comédien) qui se trouve à l'image ressemble extrêmement à cette personne dont je vous parle.
Quant à la photo de l’émission, elle est évidemment fausse. Qui, en pleine fuite se montrerait devant des caméra de télé?
Voici la copie de presse qui relate son arrestation en mai 1980 (en pièce jointe).
Vous verrez que la ressemblance est frappante.
j'aimerais avant de dévoiler d'autres documents avoir la certitude que je ne risque rien car depuis la sortie de cette vidéo on est déjà venu me poser des questions.
Je ne prendrai donc aucun risque suplémentaire si j'estime que cela représente une menace quelconque pour mon entourage.
Et par ailleurs je compte sur votre discrétion pour ne pas dévoiler mon identité.
Je suppose que vous comprendrez.

Cordialement,

xxx.xxxx (i have his name)


Hello sir,

Before any things, i have to take some precautions to reveal these documents.
Certainly, the affair is form the past, but this video (who must be false in my opinion) disturbs me excessively.
The person (or the comedian) who is in the image looks like extremely like this person about whom I speak to you.

As for the photo of the show, it is obviously false. Who, in full runaway would show itself in front of camera?

Here is the copy of press that tells the arrest in in May 1980 (as attachment). (the newspaper clip)
You will see that the resemblance is striking.
I would like before revealing the other documents to have the certainty that I risk nothing because since the release of this video i already came to ask myself questions.
I would not take any risk if I consider that it represents some threat for my surrounding.
And besides I count on your discretion not to reveal my identity.
I suppose that you will understand.

Cordially

xxx-xxxx (i have his mail and name)

Ivewrite him back, and hope to get some more picture to add to my post
www.tvqc.com/2012/01/1980-un-medium-francais-parle-des-attentats-de-2001-et-de-2012-il-y-a-30-ans/

If i read the newspaper cut, below their is an article about Pope John Paul II, he visit France in
May 30 — June 2, 1980 - France
August 14 — August 15, 1983 - France
October 4 — October 7, 1986 - France
October 8 — October 11, 1988 - France
September 19 — September 22, 1996 - France
August 21 — August 24, 1997 - France
and he meet Jacques Chirac in 1983

If Pope John met Chirac in 1983 and the newspaper clipping shows a story beneath of just that - the pope meeting Chirac in 1983, then the story above isn't going to be about this guy getting arrested in 1980, right? calculations correct.... : / usually stories are reported on at the time of occurrence?

What is the name of the newspaper?

Cool, that's awesome that the comment guy actually backed up when he said. I think someone else earlier in this thread proved that the picture from the TV show was photoshopped. I will be checking back to see if you post any more pictures or documents.

Well I'm not currently at home but I've made a couple of quick searches and I haven't found a site for French newspapers archives, so it will be tough without knowing where this came from.

When you read the clip for the newspaper, the text is kinda weird, it's not written in french from France but more like a mixture between Canadian french and France french. (Their big difference between the two language like for American English and England English)

The newspaper looks abit to white for a 30 year old paper,what you think?

Yes. The image is also much too clean to be a scan. The fonts and lines are crisp, which would be unusual except for an exceptionally high-end scanner.

Also, the "noise" in the white space and photo is far too regular and consistent.

It looks to have been created in something like Photoshop.

I don't think that the newspaper clip was forged. It looks like someone scanned it and uploaded it. Im not sure why everything related to this story is considered hoax or photoshopped. The facts state otherwise. Didn't anyone read a few lines above?

Problem is the one who claims this guy killed his/her uncle and uploaded the newspaper pic is the same uploader on youtube who uploaded the photoshopped picture of him in the audience.

Reading back through the comments on youtube im not so sure,may have jumped the gun a little there

ETA- would it be worth looking through birth records for that name?

Regards to all

So, i gather this has proven to be a hoax? I read the first
8 pages, then skipped to the last page.

Are these the two same Sean McIver's, do ya think? If so, Sean McIver is "Global Head of Multimedia Solutions".

They sure look a lot alike.

Video Marketing

The eye brows are way off comparing these 2 guys, though the face does look similar.

Here a video of Shaun McIver in an interview, the voices aren't the same...
www.onlinevideo.net...

The arguments here seem to be leaning toward trying to disprove the video instead of trying to prove it's real, which always tends to lead toward a Hoax in the final outcome. I've read all but 3 pages worth of this thread and am highly skeptical about this video, but I'm not comfortable calling it a hoax based on assumptions and possibilities of what can be done to fake it. Seems premature to throw in the Hoax bin when so many assumptions have derailed the research, like assuming [email protected] is affiliated with HM2012.ca.

Yes, the eyebrows are way off. I figured they could be fake.

The hair could be a wig. And the man could be an actor. Or not.

I just thought the two Sean's looked alike.
