Best Answer

The Hale-Bopp comet is relatively rare - it only passes close to the Earth once every 76 years.

In the last pass, there were several groups that felt there were supernatural or mystical properties of the comet. Some of these groups were covered by the media, although I don't believe anything horrible happened.
