Some Twitter users have recently been sharing tweets warning that the French physician and seer Nostradamus (Michel de Nostredame) predicted there will be a zombie apocalypse in 2021.
In popular culture, the zombie apocalypse is a fictional future event when civilization collapses due to an army of the undead overcoming the living.
The idea of a zombie apocalypse has captivated popular imagination and spawned an entire genre of TV shows and films, such as The Walking Dead, iZombie, Santa Clarita Diet, Shaun of the Dead, and Train to Busan.

Nostradamus is widely regarded as the world s leading authority on prophecy and predictions, even 454 years after his death. The French mystic and writer published during his lifetime (1503 to 1566) collections of cryptic predictions many believe have accurately warned us of the future. Nostradamus s followers claim he correctly predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in 1933, the coronavirus pandemic and the Great Fire of London in 1666 - but what did he have to say about 2021?
