The Strange Coincidences Archive

you know how johovah witnesses believe that you will live in paradise on earth forever. i was praying one night real hard about god letting my children live forever when it comes time but let me go. i told god that my children is not use to living life with the choice of freewill. but since i have lived with freewill all this time i felt it would be hard to live in a world without it. i was to the point of crying, anyway the next day i was at work and when i stepped out this man walked up to me and handed me a book. i told him thank you and walked on to my car. before i started it i looked at the book he handed me and it said there is a gift god gave you that is almost as great as love and its FREE WILL!!! i was speachless and i when i went to go talk with the man who give me the book he was gone.

I came across an old schoolmate’s name on facebook profile the other day and wondered if it was this person, thought nothing major of it, I did not join any group or anything, so my name would not appear anywhere as being a part of this persons network. The next day there was a mail from this very same person in my inbox. This is a person I had not seen or heard from in 20 years.

I could tell loads of these stories because this sort of thing actually occurs to me on a regular basis..some are more spooky. I had a dream an old family member was near dying and it was very realistic – in real time, hospital setting at night looked real and I felt this sadness but there was no outcome. The next day I found out this person had a heart attack and had to be resucitated. This has all been happening at the same time as I was dreaming.

I still think about how weird this was!
I was watching a movie (“Happy Feet”) at home. In the movie a song by Queen (Somebody to Love) was played. I thought to myself “I haven’t listened this song for years!” and then I promised myself that I was going to see the videoclip in Youtube after the movie was over.
When the movie was over I went to the computer. While it was starting up I turned on the Stereo I have next to it. The song that was playing was Somebody to Love by Queen.
I was so surprised! The strangest thing is that I haven’t listened to that song for YEARS and then, in the same day, I listened twice.
This might look a fiction story but it isn’t. It happened to me.
Thank you.

My friend, Andrew has a brother named Ethan. Ethan and I are more alike than you would think. Here are the strange similarities.

-Our best friends are both named Grayson.
-We both like a Beth.
-Our names are both Ethan.
-We are both the same age and in the same grade.
-We both love love horror movies and punk rock.

This may be a bit strange or ‘love centric’ but my ex- and I were talking and I will admit, I still had feelings for him. Well we were talking about what had happened between us (we were best friends before & we are again now. We were ALWAYS right beside each other) Well about two weeks later he’d found out that his girl friend was cheating on him, and since we’d gotten back to being friends he came over and we were talking for a while. He was starting to use the ‘you and I’ sayings again and admitted that he wasn’t over it. We started going out again (this was in seventh grade, now we’re seniors and are still together) and well, our sixth year anniversary he said ‘look down’ and I did, and I didn’t know what he meant, but he’d borrowed my laptop a few weeks before, and right on my keyboard outlined in lime green paint the letters ‘u’ and ‘i’ were right beside each other.

I guess to me it was kind of coincidental that the letters on computer key boards are right beside each other, neh?

Hi ;) I haven`t my own coincidence story. I`m writting to you because I like your web site. I was looking for some subjects about coincidence because I`will take oral exam (English)in this weekend.

I was driving with my two kids across the Mackinac bridge in Michigan’s upper penninsula. The Bad Company song “shooting star” came on the radio and at that very moment, my daughter woke up and from the back seat said “Shooting star, mommy.” Then the most incredible shooting star dropped from the sky and we both watched it as it seemingly took forever to fall.

The other night it was storming very badly. I had a 1 1/2 hr drive from my ex’s house where I took my son to stay. The whole way home there was fierce lightning and every time the lightning struck, I got a shooting pain in my right temple. It was pretty scary and I thought I would have a seizure. Well, I started thinking about any past injuries that I had there that might be causing the pain and I remembered that an older girl names Aggie knocked my off my bike and my I hit my temple on the corner of a picnic table and it knocked me out cold for a couple of minutes. My mom was at work and the neighbor lady helped me and said I was fine. No one took me to the doctor.

Well, the very next day after the storm, I had to pick up my dad and take him to the doctor. When I was driving him back to his house, he blurts out “I can’t stand that Aggie” I was blown away – I didn’t see her but he described her. Well, after I took him home, I saw her – yes, the very same Aggie who knocked my off my bike. I had that headache for three days and I had not thought about her in 30 years and there she was walking down the street in a completely different town. Just weird.

I was talking with my friend Cindy on the phone a couple of weeks ago and I told her about my secret fantasy of getting a tazer (for protection, as I had been attacked and raped previously). And in my fantasy, if anyone ever tried to hurt me again, I would just taze them and knock them out, etc. She started shreiking. Apparently, she was flipping throught the TV channels while we were talking and there was a news story about the newest form of home parties for women that are supposed to be bigger than tupperware parties, or candle parties. The subject: Tazer parties. My TV was off and I had no previous knowledge of the subject of the newscast. Stuff like this happens all the time to me – I have lost track.

i was reading a book one day and in the book there was a boyfriend and a girlfriend singing “Stairway to Heaven” to each other and then realized that the very same song was playing on the radio.
