The Strange Coincidences Archive

when im browsing the web, i sometimes look down at the time without thinking about it. Its strange how often all three numbers are the same

As I read through this post from way back I looked “down at the time” it was 11:01

My wife and I. Our paths have crossed in the summer of ‘87 on a one in a lifetime trip for both of us. We don’t remember exact dates. This detail came out years later after we met in ‘95 half way across the world.

We’re both tauruses our birthdays are one day apart. May 1st and April 29th.

When we watch movies, or look at something we gasp, laugh… etc… exactly the same way and same intonation.

I think of her, or talk about her, she calls me within minutes. Sometimes I catch myself thinking of her and all I can say is oops and she calls. Once it happened while I was explaining this to someone. It was funny.

When we first met we went out to eat. When we put down our glasses with coke. We looked at eachother. That was the first time we realized we had connection. We picked up the glasses at the same time, drank put down the glasses and there was same amount of coke in each glass.

The most amazing:

In ‘97 we both had pagers. She paged me in the morning. I called she said she’ll be on 5th floor of the library until 5pm studying for test, also that she forgot her pager. We were going to meet after 5 at her place.
I finished school early that day 1PM. I wanted to surprise her so I bought flowers. Had keys to her place. It was an in and out job so I parked in 30 min loading zone. Ran upstairs left flowers in middle of the room, wrote a little note. Ran out, as the door slammed I realized I left my keys inside.
Didn’t want my car towed so I had to hang around. I was not on the lease so manager would not open doors for me. She forgot her pager. All I had was the number from one of the payphones somewhere in the library when she paged me in the morning. I had only 3 quarters = 3 phonecalls. Wanted some good samaritan to find a girl with curly black hair and tell her to come home. I call once, someone picked up and hung up. I call again same thing happened. With my last quarter I made the call. Someone did pick up, I heard “Hello?” with a familiar voice. Hello.?..?” I said with disbelief. She asked “What are you doing?” I said what is she doing? She said she didn’t feel like studying anymore so she was on her way home.

By all means we’re not a perfect couple. We’re on the same wavelength only when we’re in harmony. Meaning when we both in good standing with eachother without anger, guilt, etc… when we both feel pure love for eachother.

One more little detail. We’re of different cultures, religions, skin tone, yet we connect on this intuitive level.

We don’t believe in coincidences anymore. Everything happens on purpose. Great website!

Hope you don’t mind the length.

There are alot more things that happen to us on daily basis, like seeing 11:11 or 2:22 (happened today actually.)

I am happy to share this with you. If you have any thoughts, comments or questions feel free to contact me. Wish you all there is…

Where do i start…...well I decided to do my family tree on a website, just for a record to pass onto my son. After registering I was contacted by a lady in the other side of the world, she was trying to seek infomation on her husbands birth mother. He was 57 and only found out he was adopted 5 years ago, when his adopted father died he discovered his birth certificate and realised his true birht mothers name. It matched my grandmothers name so naturally when a name match was established we spoke via email. I enquired to my father about this situation and asked if this could be possible. My father was open minded as there was alot of missing links when he was a child and never knew a father etc.

as communications went on photos were exchanged and the likeness was amazing. My grandmother had passed away and with no real idea as to the possibility of my father and her husband being related.

In the time that we exchange emails and various infomation I kept stuimbling upon coincidences, a numnerous amount, I found it fasinating and exciting all at the same time.

I did a search of the address that was on the birth certificate of this man on the other side of the world, I search a street called heddon place, there were 2 matches 1 in Birmingham where this guy was bornm and 1 round the corner from where we grew up in leeds. strange.

my father changed his name by depol and the new name matched his (soon to discover) brothers wifes name and my dad changed his name in 1968, his brother in married 2000.

I met my partner, my name is michelle and I have long curly blonde hair- im a leo. When my partner was talking to his mum he was told of a new horse bought by his parents and they told him its names, its racing name was ” golden girl michelle.Its stable name -leo” he hadnt told them about me.strange, all this went on arround the same time.

When researching the passed which I could I also discovered that my nan lived in dorset nr a place called maiden newton- my partners mums maiden name was newton.

There were many more little coincidences and after a while I thought wow, these arent everday things are they, really remarkable coincidences.

Eventually for peace of mind a dna test was done a man in australia and my father. It was positive really amazing. my father grew up not knowing any family and all that time he has a brother.

A neighbour of my dads has the same surname as my dads original name and on the day I was contacted by lady is Oz, my dads neighbour gave my dad a plant, his stars said you will be given gift and receive a message from overseas.That was quite a good one.

The story goes on, we would love to meet our new found family but unfortunatley financial situations are preventing at the moment but one day we will all get together and have a big hug and laugh about it all.

hi, i just heard today that when my dad was helping my little sister find a good way to tie her teddy bear to her swing he turned away to do something else and when he looked back at my little sister, she had already tied her bear to the swing the exact way my dad had just thought up of

This is weirdd.. k me and my brother are twins, and for some reason i decided to go onto this website today cuz i was bored, and low and behold, i see my brothers account of his coincidence dream which what this site immediately made me think of. and he didnt post it when it happened, he for some reason decided to post it like 5years after it happened, so like what are the chances that he waits 5 years to post an old account of coincidence on a random site only for me to go on this site not even 2 weeks later and see his name?? by the way, my bro is the one who tells of his prophetic dream about sept 11 the night before it happened, he’s Brian M, I’m brandon m.

The following happens to me ALL THE TIME. I can’t explain it. It’s gotten to the point of really freaking me out. I’ll go to bed thinking of a movie or a song, and that’ll be the first thing I see or hear on the radio or on tv when I get up in the morning. It’s not so much music, as it is with movies or tv shows. For instance, last night I went to bed with the “Philadelphia” song in my head. I thought to myself, “I haven’t seen that movie in a long time, I should rent that tomorrow night. I turned on the tv this morning, and “Philadelphia” was playing on A&E. What are the odds of that? I used to think nothing of this. But, like I said, it happens to me so often, that It has to mean something.

My coincidence occurs infrequently, but to often not to go unnoticed. It really frightens me because I am a well moraled person. Well here it is, I occasionally see the numbers “666”. For example, with one of my previous jobs I was a cashier and in three times in one day the total of someone’s transaction would come to 6.66. Or if number cards fell in front of me they would fall in that order showing 666. If I was counting something my total would come to 666. Or I could be looking at highway signs and somehow these numbers become coherent. This is a very odd, scary, thing. Every so often I see this scary occuring coincidence. And it makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t know why a loving person constantly observes this, but that is my scary account.

My husband was married prior and had a son that died from short bowel syndrome at age 2.
When we married we had two great kids. My son was six months old when he became very ill. After two weeks of home therapy antibiotics, he was placed in the hospital.
My husband’s son had been in the same hospital many times due to his illness and it was not so much of a coincidence that we ended up in one of the same rooms his son had several years prior.
But
We had two of the same nurses.
We had the same surgeon – he had done 17 surgeries on my husband’s son and was retiring that day – until he saw my husband. He said whatever was wrong he was going to do the surgery. He stayed onboard for 16 long days and did two surgeries on my son before he retired. We were his last surgery.
They finally diagnosed my son with an infection that had started in his intestines – or gut.
We entered the hospital on his son’s birthdate.
My husband’s father died on the 22nd. My husband’s first wife’s mother died on the 22nd. My husband died on the 22nd.

i was randomly repeating the word “please” for fun.then when i turned to face my storybook(still saying the word “please”, mind you),the first word i saw was “please”

Another weird coincidence happened to me three hours ago. I have quite an unusual surname and moved from UK to rural France about 9 months ago. Today myself and my wife went to see our lawyer about a problem we have. When we arrived and announced ourselves his secretary looked nonplussed but showed us into the waiting room. Sitting there was a man and his wife, also with the same name as us. They had made an appointment with the same lawyer on the same date at the same time as us. They are from UK and have just moved over here – they live about 40 miles from us and the lawyers office is about half way between. And today is my birthday!!
