The Strange Coincidences Archive

This coincidence isnt paranormal or anything but its just kind of wierd! OK in many of my classes at school there is a girl who iscoincidentally related to my life in many ways. The first is unimportant and not so unusual, she got the top braces taken off of her teeth taken off of her teeth the day before i had mine taken off. This may seem like it is not very interesting but wait it gets stranger… when i got my retainer (the day afetr she got hers) i complained about its taste. I learned that she had recently recieved the sam e dental work so i talked to her about it. I began to describe the retainers falvor saying “it tastes just like…” and she finished my sentence with “nail polish remover” which was exactly how i was about to describe it. Here is where things get wierd, about two weeks later both of us forgot to wear our retainers on the SAME day. Finally the big twist is that the girl has the same first and middle name as my mom : Tracie Lynn! I don’t know how to explain that!

Back in 1994, I was working at a pizza restaurant as a delivery driver (mama’s pizza in Tucson, Arizona), and said that I had to quit because I was getting a new car. Two weeks exactly after quitting, I got hit by an 18 wheeler semi truck at the exact corner of the pizza restaurant in my new car. I walked out of the car immediately after the accident without any serious injuries. I went back to work at that same Pizza restaurant several months later and was going to quit again with the excuse that I had a hand injury. I was going to wrap a bandage and pretend I was injured. A week later, I cut myself for real prying frozen hamburger patties apart and my hand was paralyzed for 3 months. This was the most bizarre coincidence of my life. Later I was haunted by the ghost of the owner’s dead father of that restaurant. I left Tucson shortly after this, totally weirded out

my parents own a donut shop on rosecran in hawthorne city, LA county…. my mom’s sister who is my aunt, and her husband also owns a donut shop on rosecran but this one is in the san diego county how weird is that?

At my workplace this girl was doing a driving test, also her twin sister was also taking her driving test at the very same time.

They both passed on the very first test they had taken (this is a very rare thing to do)
They both got the same amount of points and same amount of faults.

But they still passed.

nearly every time my fiancee and i look at the clock it’s a strange time.

Examples:

2:22, 12:34, 9:11, 4:44, 10:10, 12:22, etc.

its 90% of the time without fail. It’s happened ever since we met.

From 1966 to 1979 I worked in Derby, UK, in a company with about 800 employees.

I have moved to South West France, living out in the country.This is 1000 miles away from Derby.

In the next village (1 mile away) lives a man who worked at the same place as me, even same the department.

We did not immediately recognise each other when we first met. He is now over 80 years old and I have recently grown a beard.

This is not my first post – I had a similar experience about 18 years ago when my wife and I met our next-door-neighbours when we went away on a short holiday to Tunisia. Neither us or our neighbours knew that the others had gone on holiday.

Don’t know if this is a coincidence or not maybe a bit of luck,Just before christmas i was in a queue waiting to pay for my lottery
ticket in a shop approx 2 miles away from where i live, when i approached the counter i reached to my pocket and took out my pre filled lottery slip which i know previously i had 2 x Pounds 10 notes and a Pounds 20 note wrapped around the slip,(which i knew i had just before i entered the shop),only minus the twenty pound note,
as you would i checked all my pockets the floor around where i stood but nothing.
I paid for my ticket out of a Pounds 10 note,fuming that i lost some money,i got in my car checked all around the dash board between the seats etc which i knew it wasn’t there…nothing.
2 weeks later i finish work and walk up to my back door, which i might add my garden is communial and has no fences, there in the middle of the lawn is a dirty but neatly folded twenty pound note, although the day earlier we had some severe gales.
My Pounds 20 note or someone elses???
By the way i didn’t win the lottery.

I’ve been in three car accidents , none of them very serious. During all three acidents the band “Boston” was playing on the radio. I don’t listen to Boston in the car anymore! If a song by them comes on the radio, I turn it off quickly.

When I was about 20, in the 1970s, one Saturday afternoon I was reading a book about visualization, which stated that you can create by visualizing. Since my friends and I were going out that night to a nightclub to meet guys, I thought I would try the book’s theories by vizualizing meeting someone that looked like Robert Redford. I took a nap and by the time I woke up, I had pretty much put the whole thing out of my mind. That night, as I sat with my friends at the club, a guy went by our table that looked just like a young Robert Redford. I was so startled I did a double-take. When he saw me looking, he came back and asked me to dance. After the dance, all my friends also commented on his strong resemblance to Robert Redford. Unfortunately, I guess I failed to visualize past the appearance, because he had just come to the US from some European country, was working as a bus boy, and spoke very little English, so we couldn’t really communicate well or form a friendship. I was, nonetheless, a little spooked and very much awed by the experience.

I watched a tv program about ghost hunters where the girl hunters were in one room asking for a sign that someone was there and the phone rang but there was no one there. And one of the girls expressed a wish that the phone would ring again, but it didn’t.

The men were in another room, again, asking for a sign that someone was there with them and the phone rang. But there was no one there. Then it rang again and one man told another to just unhook it. Then he went on asking for “signs”.

I thought this was hilarious as the men received no more signs after unplugging the phone. I joked about how silly the men were to unplug the phone.

The next day I had a call on my caller id, from myself. It had my own name and number listed as if the phone called itself. Then a few days later two policemen knocked on my door as I was getting ready for work and asked if I was alone. They said they got a cell phone call from a child and the locator placed the phone at my house but I was the only one home.

Previously, my boss had received a call on his private line from someone who claimed to be my landlord and asked him for my phone number. Naturally, my real landlord already had my phone number but no one I know, including me, knows my bosses private number.
