Jeane Dixon Cruel “Prophecy” - SS Scorpion

Some people might wonder how I wrote about the Scorpion in detail that’s unknown to the general public. In 1968, my ex was a submarine officer on a Mediterranean Cruise aboard the Runner, a diesel submarine also stationed in Norfolk. I was visiting my parents in Pennsylvania when the news that the Scorpion was “missing” broke. I looked at Dad who was a Naval officer and steel inspector during WW II, among the first to know when ships were sunk. I thought, “Grey Lady down.” We said nothing, but the expression on his face told me I was right.
Before I returned to Norfolk, I saw Dixon on Tom Snyder’s late night show. She said the men were alive and well, calling the Scorpion a “boat” because it was so “dear“ to her. The summer of 1968 was long and cruel for those who believed Dixon and hoped against hope the sub would return with her crew alive and well. Then, only selected personnel knew the Grey Lady was down - classified information.
After the Scorpion’s wreckage was found, Dixon was on a Virginia Beach talk show. She was so smug when she said she knew what happened to the submarine and spouted forth gibberish about a tube-like thing. I looked at her, thinking, “How dare you give people false hope, then after the Scorpion’s wreckage was officially found, tell people you knew what happened!”
It wasn’t until I was doing research for Was_Astrologer_Jeane_Dixon_Truly_a_Psychic that I thought of Dixon and her false prophecy about the Scorpion. A peculiar thing also happened. I was going through boxes and found a 1968 newspaper clipping about the Scorpion that I hadn’t seen since that fall. I’ve moved twelve times since….
