Web Bot, or the Web Bot Project, refers to a software program designed in the late 1990s, originally to predict stock market trends, but was later claimed to be able to predict future events by tracking keywords entered on the Internet.[1] The creator of the Web Bot keeps the technology and algorithms largely secret and sells the predictions on his website, halfpasthuman.com.

Predictions
Listed are some of the events which the Web Bot is claimed to have predicted prior to them occurring[2][3]:
- September 11 attacks - In June 2001 Web Bot predicted that a catastrophic event would occur within the next 60-90 days.
- Northeast Blackout of 2003 - The Web Bot reportedly predicted the power outage in the Northeastern United States in 2003 accurately before it occurred.[4]
- American Airlines Flight 587
- Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
- Dick Cheney hunting incident
- 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake[5]
Events which were predicted but did not occur:
- October 7, 2008 - Web Bot predicted that between September 22 and September 27, 2008, precursor events would lead up to a "main turning point date" on October 7, 2008 which would be more significant than the September 11 terrorist attacks and then major emotional turmoil would continue for nearly five months.[6] Interestingly enough, the dates do correspond however with the stock market crash of 2008, and within a few weeks of its eventual stabilization the following year.
Future events which have been predicted will occur:
- October 25, 2009 - A catastrophe starts on October 25, 2009. It could be that the H1N1 flu virus reaches a level of extreme lethality, or Israel bombs Iran. In reaction to this crisis, the Obama administration will be thrown into major chaos ten days later.[7]
- End of the World in 2012: The Web Bot has reportedly predicted that a cataclysm will devastate the planet in the year 2012, possibly a reversing of Earth's magnetic poles.[8][1]
