The Strange Coincidences Archive

Both me and my brother worked for the same railroad. He was an engineer and I was a conductor at the time. One day we were both working but on different trains. It was the first day that the railroad issued cell phones to the engineers. The engineer I was working with asked me who I thought would be the first one to lose their phone. I said without a doubt my brother would. I few miles further down the track we had to stop and set out some cars. Mind you this is approx 120 miles from where we both started our trip and only my train was to stop there. I set out the cars and engine, and as I looked down in the snow there was a cell phone. My engineer was there also to help with the hoses, we both looked at each other and said “no way”. Sure enough I open up the case and there was a sticker with my brothers name on it.
I called him at the hotel he was staying at with it in Chicago and asked him where his phone was. He said he didn’t know. Turns out his second engine was giving him trouble and it must have fallen out of his pocket when he walked back to check it out.
I don’t know what the odds are of finding your brothers cell phone 120 miles from where he got it, the same day he got it and only minutes after telling someone that he would lose it. The odds of stopping on top of it and looking down in about a 3 foot section of rail and finding it.

My Mother in law and father in law have both passed away from the same type of cancer (pancreatic). Mother in law died in March and father in law died two years later, in the same month just two days apart. At the funeral our family was given peace lillies, one for mom and one for dad’s funeral. The lillies only bloom on days directly related to my in laws (birthdays, anniversaries, date’s of death). My Sister’s lilly bloomed two flowers on the date of my in laws anniversary and has not bloomed since.

September 18.2006 my daughter gave birth to her second child(a girl). she was 10 days past her due date. The same day, my niece gave birth to her second child(a boy). She was 10 days early. Both babies weighed 7 Lbs. 7 oz. My daughter’s baby was born at 4:25 am and my niece’s baby was born at 4:25 pm. They live in different states 800 miles apart!! In May 2005 my daughter’s brother died accidently(27 yrs. old). Seven days later(may 2005) my nieces’ brother in law died accidently( he was 27)!!!

In 2007 my husband and I spent our honeymoon touring New Zealand. We hired a car in Auckland and spent a month driving around the north island. We then flew onto Christchurch and spent the next month touring the south island in another hire car.
We went on a boat trip on Lake Te Anau whilst visiting the south island. Imagine our surprise when we got off the boat to collect our hire car from the shore and found it parked next to our north island hire car that we had hired a month before. It was definately the same car as we checked the reg plate and the chipped windscreen from where a stone had flew up and bashed it when we were driving around Auckland.
Weird world!

There’s been quite a few eerie coincidences in my life lately but I’ll pick the best one. I usually stay up late but this night I was exhausted and went to bed early, I suddenly woke up at 1 in the morning and decided to log into Yahoo where my pals were having a discussion about beliefs. I said in order to untangle the lies you’re all confused about, you gotta find your roots. I discussed a series of 7 dots found in neanderthal times and how it might have had religious significance. Then we talked about the number 7, one of the listeners was shocked because it was 7 days from their bday. Then we discussed the 7 colors (Roy g Biv) and their subconcious effect on the mind. From there I talked about the angle that light is reflected at to create a rainbow. At that point it started storming, kinda like it is now. Lightning, thunder, downpouring rain, the works. I checked the website to see whats going on, there was 42 counties under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 AM. Can you guess the angle that light is reflected to create a rainbow?

when i first got on to this website i went to random coincidence and the first one just happened to be mine.is that friggen amazing?

When I was younger I use to have dreams about people I had not seen for long periods of time. People I never kept constant contact with. After I would dream about them I see them within the next few days.

For example: I had not seen a family friend for years. No one had. We never kept in contact with him. I had forgotten about him. Then one night I dreamnt about him. Nothing speacial, just a dream with him in it. I woke up thinking wow I remember him. Then in the next few days I saw him. This happened a lot. I would know that I was going to see someone if I had a dream about them.

I haven’t had this experience since having my first child 4 years ago. But it was really interesting.

My experience was scary i was asleep.I was having a dream of a lady i have never seen.She was talking to my mother about sin and evil. When the lady saw me she ran towards me and began choking me. I suddenly woke up coughing and breathing like as if i had actually been choked. my tonsils were hurting so bad that i couldnt talk.I ran to the mirror and saw what looked like a hand print on my neck.My throat hurt so bad i was unable to speak for two days. I had the hand print on my neck for a whole day.
