Shipton's mother lived in King Henry III's time. She made many accurate predictions that made her prophetic talent often the subject of " dissection " at the 17th-century British Royal Palace.

One of the famous stories related to the Royal Palace is about Cardinal Wolsey. According to Shipton, he might just see Yorkshire and not be able to get there.

In 1530, Wolsey suddenly came up with a conflict with the king, causing him to find a shelter in the North. He was going to Yorkshire.

However, when he saw Yorkshire, he caught a messenger with the king's summons, demanding that he return to London to receive punishment for his actions.

Prophets of Mother Shipton

Because of predictions about future events, Shipton's mother is known as a witch, a prophet.

She saw the future of Princess Jane Gray's ascension, as well as the execution of Queen Mary of Scotland and the defeat of the Spanish fleet at the hands of Francis Drake.

It was not until 1646 that her prophecies were re-collected and printed into a collection of "Prophecy".

The latter said up to 18 articles happened exactly as predicted, including the massive fire that destroyed London in 1666.

Researchers for her predictions said even Shipton saw the coming of the Internet in the future.

Mother Shipton died in 1561 (another figure was in 1567). She is not buried in the " holy land " (the land used to bury followers of a religion), perhaps near Clifton, England.

Petrified well

The Petrifying Well Cave , not far from Shipton's mother cave, is said to be associated with images of the demon's son.

This cave is shaped like a skull of a giant. At the same time, it was covered by the curse of demons .

According to the people, whatever touches its water is turned into stone . Many objects were turned into stone, such as bells, teapots, bicycles, teddy bears and even Victorian hats.

The objects are affected by the petrified curse.

John Leyland, Henry VIII archaeologist, was the first to officially explore this cave. He said that before that, many people bathed in wells, drank water here and had cured.

However, after everything was affected by the flow of petrified water, people began to fear and did not believe in the divine healing spirit of the well anymore.

They did not dare to approach the well and rumored that the well was subjected to the devil's curse and feared that if they touched the water, it would be petrified.

After years of analyzing the composition of water in the well, scientists concluded that the water here is capable of petrifying the objects because the mineral content is very high in the country.

Heritage of Mother Shipton

Today, it is believed that many of the facts surrounding Shipton's mother's life were created by Richard Head.

He was the editor of his predictions, but his claims were not accepted due to the lack of information about Ursula's biographical details.

Decades after her death, no one remembered these things, so he was said to be the " creator " of it. At the same time, Head was certain that the prophecies were written by Mother Shipton.

Whether it's true or not, Shipton is still an important part of British folklore. The cave where Ursula was born is a mysterious place and attracts many tourists to it for centuries.
