The Strange Coincidences Archive

It’s Raining Babies
In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young (if incredibly careless) mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother’s baby fell from a high window onto Figlock. The baby’s fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck on its own, but a year later, the very same baby fell from the very same window onto poor, unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath. And again, they both survived the event. (Mysteries of the Unexplained)
Swapped Hotel Finds
In 1953, television reporter Irv Kupcinet was in London to cover the coronation of Ellizabeth II. In one of the drawers in his room at the Savoy he found found some items that, by their identification, belonged to a man named Harry Hannin. Coincidentally, Harry Hannin – a basketball star with the famed Harlem Globetrotters – was a good friend of Kupcinet’s. But the story has yet another twist. Just two days later, and before he could tell Hannin of his lucky discovery, Kupcinet received a letter from Hannin. In the letter, Hannin told Kucinet that while staying at the Hotel Meurice in Paris, he found in a drawer a tie – with Kupcinet’s name on it! (Mysteries of the Unexplained)
Paging Mr. Bryson
While on a business trip sometime in the late 1950s, Mr. George D. Bryson stopped and registered at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. After signing the register and being given his key to room 307, he stopped by the mail desk to see if any letters had arrived for him. Indeed there was a letter, the mail girl told him, and handed him an envelope addressed to Mr. George D. Bryson, room 307. This wouldn’t be so odd accept the letter was not for him, but for room 307’s just-previous occupant – another man named George D. Bryson.

This is just weird to me… whenever it comes to dating guys, I always end up with someone spanish. For example, I’m with a guy right now that has blonde hair and blue eyes and when I met him, his name was Ricky, but now that I’ve gotten to know him. His realy name is Jose Ricardo Ramos. Also, I always listen to the spanish radio channel even though I can’t speak spanish, I seem to understand some of it. Coincidence? Or maybe I was spanish in a past life lol

One day a friend of mine slept over.
When we woke up I started to tell him about a ghost town in the us called Bodie. When I finnished telling my storie we turned on the tv and were amazed:
As soon as I turned it on a show started about that very ghost town and the host told exactly my storie! It was really strange because neither of us knew the show was coming, and to find that the show started as soon as I told about it!? We were amazed. Especialy after a week ago when i was trying to come up with a name for a pro snow boarder. I wrote down the name “silver bullet” and just after I finished writing it a man on tv(wich had been on all the time) started talking about a restaurant in a ski resort called silver bullet!
Pretty strange huh? Well these things with the tv just kept coming for about a month were I could almost predict wat was going to be on tv. Almost anything I talked about while the tv was on came on tv or was mentioned. Do you have similar experiences?

Once again a strange story from me, but this one is actually about my mom.
My mother went to Malasya for a press tour, she and a group of about 40 jounalists were transported to the hotel individually by bycecle taxi’s. My mother started a conversation with the driver who spoke fairly well English. Eventualy the driver told my mom that he had worked on Dutch ships.(Me and my family are Dutch). He showed my mother a sort of logbook of the work he had done an the ships and it turned out that they were signed by me mothers father(my grandpa)!!! Out of about 40 bycecle taxis she was randomly put in the one with a driver who used to work for her dad. All that in the middle of Malasya at the other end of the world.
Totaly strange.

I have been reading about all the coincidences here and they are very interesting, so I decided to tell my story. Well I dont know what you would call it, but I would like to hear from some people if they know. Thanks.
My boyfriend told me a dream he had about 2 months ago and then I forgot it. The dream was he was a my house and asked me for a deck of cards and we were sat at my dining room table and he was shuffling and cutting the deck into 3 piles and everytime he was telling me what the top 3 cards were and he was always right. This was his dream.
He comes to my home about a wk ago and we were just sitting and chatting and tells me to get him a deck of cards. I then know what he is about to do, and I only had a deck of Old Maid cards, if your not familier with these they have nursery rhymes characters on them, he looks at them and shuffles and cuts them and tells me what the 3 cards are and guess what he got them right, he did this about 5 times and everytime was 100% accurate. I then go and get a regular pack of playing cards and sure enought the same thing happens over and over and over, and he guesses what the top 3 cards are. I told him that was amazing, and I said if you show anyone else this they will be totally amazed, and he says nope becasue it won’t work anywhere else but here, and I wont be able to do it again. Its a one time deal. And he hasn’t been over since because of work, but you can be rest assured the next time he comes I will break the cards out again to see what happens.

Thanks for your time I love this site and the coincidences are great.

Yeah, I totally smoked some pot like the dude previously and went to a class reunion and noticed how everyone was a doctor or lawyer or owned their own business and wondered why I was still working at a FAST FOOD RESTURAUNT!!!!! It was a total coincidence that I have stayed at the same job these past 10 years while they actually made something of themselves! They were always really good in school and I always smoked pot back then too!! What a coincidence!!!!! Spooky!

It’s 15:31 here and my strange coincidence just happened 5 mins ago !! Am sittin watchin channel 4 here in the UK , Belfast infact , and an old 1950’s film was on tv and i was kinda watchin it and surfin the web , when i was kinda thinking about films i had seen in the past and a film called ” Time Lock” came into my head , it about a young boy caught in a bank safe and the race against time to free him , well anyways , this current film just ended and the announcer was giving details of tomorrows afternoon film and guess what!! yeah it’s “Time lock” !! i just googled the title and yes its the same film about the boy in the safe , strange eh… feel free to e-mail if anything like this has hapened to you cheers.

I used to have caller ID on my phone because I liked to know who was calling but my new phone didnt have that addition and i figured out that I didnt need it anyway. Before I’d answer I’d know who was calling, the same thing happened with text messages.Then I lost that phone and haven’t been able to do it since. Strange and rather creepy I thought.
