The Strange Coincidences Archive

I had to take care of my parking ticket. I went to the City Hall. I was told to go to 7th floor. I got in the elevator, as the doors were closing I wanted to hold the door but I didn’t. At the last second someone swiped a manila folder as the doors were an inch or two away from eachother. A man walked in, I wanted to say hello but I hesitated. He glanced at my ticket and asked if I am going to the parking ticket office. I said yes. I am the guy you want to talk to – he said – I am not lying – he added. I think he saw my facial expression.

Same park bench, (few posts below). As I was walking towards it tonight, I thought to myself – it’s odd that sprinklers never run (don’t like wet shoes). I sat on my regular spot. Not even 5 minutes into star gazing sprinklers go off – never happened before. I’ve been there 1000x same bench same spot.

It’s actually a fountain 20ft diameter satellite dish shape with 4 benches around.

The sprinklers are pretty powerful at the university campus. I thought they were going to get me but I sat still. One sprinkler lightly sprayed my left shoe. Second set of sprinklers went off. I freaked out because they were about to get me. So I thought. They only misted the bench. I sat back down and looked around. All the other benches were well watered. Except where I sat. I got some mist on me and few drops when wind was blowing south but otherwise I was ok.

I did get my shoes wet as I walked back through grass.

My Ex girlfriend of recent went to Germany for Work. She wrote me on Tuesday that she was to meet a friend in Athens the next weekend.
So, Weds. night I turn on the TV and flip to a random program I think it was the history channel. Low and be hold, the next program was about Greece and the Parthenon. Then, the next night on my space, I got an invite to join a group out of Austria no more then 5 hours from where she is staying. Weird.

Every day I run into my friend’s grandmother either at the store, the libary or the gas station or some other place around town. There is no chance that she is following me or me her, so it is quite strange that I see her everyday somewhere in town. Its starting to creep me out. That is my coincidence.

every time something happens I look at the clock and it says 11 11 I could be driving along and look and it is 11 11 I could be doing different things and the numbers 11 11 always come up. It is getting to the point that it is scarry. This has been happening for a couple of months now. Any suggestions?

Last night I sat on the same bench as in the post below. I saw a girl maybe 30 yards away talking on a cellphone. I could not hear her at all. I thought to myself “do you need to talk (about something to me)?” – I directed the question at her. After few moments she started crying – I definitely heard that but I did not approach her.

Last night I was asked to go out. As I passed by our new city hall building, I noticed a new embelishment in the concrete of the sidewalk. A compass with world directions. I passed by it but for whatever reason I turned back and acknowledged it. I thougth to myself, what could that mean? I met up with my friends down the road and we went to a club. $5 cover charge and a rubber stamp on my wrist yes it’s a compass.

Few posts down below, I mentioned about connection with my wife.

She’s visiting her family 600–700mi away. We weren’t exactly talking when she left Thursday. Needless to say, I kept on mowing over our issue in my head (splitting or divorce). I realized that I could not live without her. It was about 2pm on Friday. I called but her phone went straight to message. Great, she turned off her phone because she doesn’t want to talk to me – I thought. I put the phone down.

That moment my phone rang. She called me psycho (instead of psychic (inside joke)), we laughed and told eachother we can’t live without each other.

We were calling each other at the same time; that’s why her phone was busy.

OK, this is from the strange barrel.

I dreamt of UFOs Friday night, just hundreds of them everywhere. So last night after the compass thing (two posts below this one). Instead of going home I went to sit on a bench for a bit and look at the sky. It must have been between 1 – 2 am.

I kept on looking at the sky after a while I saw an object. It kept on course south to north. It was bigger than the stars. No sound, no lights or blinking ones at that – although the illumination was pale orange but so are our city lights. So it could have been ambiant light.

I’ve seen birds before illuminated in the same way and gliding in a straight path.

I didn’t see any wings this time. The strange part is that the object continued up into the sky, changed it’s path of flight. At least that’s what I observed. I saw it for at least 5 minutes, before I could not distinguish it among the stars. I could have sworn it wobbled and changed direction really high up.

The stranger part is that when I could not see it anymore. I saw another one a bit further back and it did the same thing, went up to the same general area of the sky.

Issues:

Balloon from a dealership, which that’s what I thought at first but the size of it was way bigger than a 3ft diameter balloon. I had few trees and buildings for refrence. It was close enough to see what it’s not and too far away to see what it is. So it was a meteorological balloon. Fine, I’ll buy that but who lets these out at 1 am on saturday night? However, air traffic is lighter then, so it makes sense. One thing I can’t explain is color intensity. If it’s ambiant light from city lights it would have faded over time but it didn’t. I’ve seen sattelites before, definitely wasn’t it. There was no wind last night either, although yes at highier altitudes could be different.

The wobbling could have been my eyes. I’ve stared at a star before and “saw” it move around.

Just realized it’s not the first time I’ve seen objects like this in the area.

one day when i was at a beach house previousley owned by my dead uncle my mum announced she was going to go for a walk, and off she went, about 30 secondas after she left i started running after her, when i caught up to her i said mum i am coming with you, she suddenly said not with no shoes on your not ( i was’nt wearing shoes at the time,being a teenager i objected and said no but she gave me the keys th othe beach house and off i went.
when i got back to the house the key i had got dropped as i picked it up it got caught in the deck and bent, when i eventually got it out and tried to put it in the lock it woul’nt go in, so i ran back to my mum and we continued walking, when we got to the beach we met mygrand ma and we walked for about a kilometer, i was entertaining my self by walking on the sand dunes, but my grand ma had just told my mum that the sand dunes had been collapsing, so she told me to get off them, so I jumped off as i landed on the sand a branch under the sand peirced my foot, it went through the bottom and out the top,after the operations to remove the branch my grandma told me that my uncle who had recently passed away did the same thing to his foot when he was the same age as me at the same stretch of beach.
