Some say the MV Joyita was always cursed, others laughed it off. What is beyond dispute, is that on one hot day in October 1955 the ship and its 25 passengers and crew set sail on a routine journey from Samoa to the Tokelau islands.

In the early hours of Tuesday 15th May 1979, 23-year-old David Booth awoke from a terrible dream, sweating profusely with tears in his eyes. In it, he watched as a silver American Airlines plane fell from the sky and crashed right in front of him.

Then he had the dream again. And again.

Soon he began to wonder, what if it wasn't just a dream?
