The Strange Coincidences Archive

One Friday, I went to a LAN party to play counterstrike and my mom was talking to me about car accidents and illegal drugs being the highest cause of teen death. The next day two of my classmates died in a car crash which involved alcohol…

I am in year 10 this year, and my ICT teacher once taught my mum ICT when she was in year 10.

When I was child (from ages 1 to 5) may family lived in Thailand due to my fathers work. I went to an international school, with children from all over the world. One of my friends was a Dutch boy called Dominic, who was in my class. At the end of the school year, I said godbye to all my classmates, as I was leaving to return to England.

My parents had decided to take a scenic route back to England, stopping India, Egypt and France on the way back. While in Egypt, my father and I were walking around the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops/Kufre – the great pyramid) when, from around a corner, Dominic and his father rounded the corner.

The strange thing was, being only five at the time, neither Dominic nor I found this even slightly odd. Our dads, of course, were flabergasted.

I went to a house warming party of a new friend of mine and met her friends. I got a little too tipsy and starting jabbering on about how into serendipity i am. In the middle of it, I asked a guy listening what his name was… I didnt hear what his name was, but his friend responded with his name and “his initials are S R I, like sri lanka” I stopped in amazement and further explained, ” The word Serendipity comes from the word Serendip, the origional name of Sri Lanka” I dont know if she knew, but it blew me away.

My boyfriend is a musician, he writes songs, and lyrics as he’s working to pass the time…We text each other back and forth during the day to keep in touch. He began to text me some lyrics, (not knowing he was contacting me) I text him to ask him a question…

Chris’s Text: Two soul mates meet in the absence of time and create an unknown form of energy. How does it feel to be the focuse of an ineffable dream?

My Text: How does it feel to be the focus of an ineffable dream?

After our texts were sent, we were pretty blown away that we had the same thought at the same time and were both relaying it to one another simultaneously.

A friend and I were walking down a road to a park one dark night and were talking about how scary it would be if a car crashed into the house next to us and dissapeared without a noise… the next day, we walked to the park to find that a car had crashed into the driveway of the same house.

COINCIDENCE OR FATE

Recently, a very stange happening was reported just down the road from here.

During the morning a licensed lady jockey was thrown from a horse and suffered a very bad compound fracture to her left leg. Fortunately, her daughter who was riding with her was able to seek help from her husband nearby. She was admitted to hospital for urgent surgery.

During the afternoon her husband a licensed horse trainer was riding the same horse. Without warning it threw him and he fractured his right leg!

In racing jargon would that mean that they ‘struck a double’?

A couple of years ago, I had a Dream that I was walking down the the sidwalk, And this little girl came up to and smiled At ME!

Then, About 2 years ago, I was walking down the street and I see that little girl crying on the curb by herself. I go to her and ask whats wrong.She looks at me ,smiles, and says “Nothing”

My computer has this problem and it basically blinks comes on and then turns off. i was just surfing the net and lookin at this webstie and looked at some coincedenses.when my brother came in the room and shut light for no reason i was about to shout at him when nearly at the exact same second the screen shut and then my brother opened the light and guess what…

yeah the screen opened again. i told him to do that again and guess what happened again…

the light shut and the computer shut then it was on again when the computer came on.

freaky ehh???

In 1999, my sister and I started dieting with one of the well known diet conglomerates.

My sister was doing tremendously and I wasn’t. I was literally starving myself and not losing an ounce. After 12 weeks, my sister was down 25 lbs. and I was down 0.02 of a lb.

I was awakened one night with pain so intense just to the left of my stomach. It felt like someone trying to push a baseball through my small intestine and it was the kind of pain that makes you not know if you’re going to woof your cookies, or deal with ‘tother end. I was on the toilet, wastebasket on my lap, rocking back and forth and then took myself back to bed and fell asleep again. I had the exact same thing happen the next night.

One of the ladies I supervised called me the next morning at work to say she was very ill during the night, and had no sleep, and would be in a little late. When she arrived later and we discussed her ailment, it was identical to my own two episodes. We diagnosed ourselves with the flu and said no more. Two women working within feet of each other with identical symptoms, has to be the flu – right?

More time went by and I had a third episode and again, it is really quite unpleasant, kind of like giving birth but there’s no prize at the end.

In the meantime, unbeknownst to me, my sister was having identical episodes, but she didn’t tell me the symptoms, she said she had galbladder attacks, well after a few of these, she tells me what the symptoms are and they sound an awful lot like mine, only I think hers were worse because they didn’t stop. They came more often and more intensely and started wrapping all around to her back. Many a night her husband took her to the hospital where they gave her something for the pain and sent her home.

Meanwhile, the woman I worked with ended up having her galbladder out because she too kept having the attacks we had both thought were the flu.

One night after midnight, my brother-in-law takes my sister to the hospital because she’s having the attack of all attacks. This time the hospital keeps her and surgery is performed at 8 a.m.

Just about 8 a.m., our elderly mother is awakened by a pain so intense under her left breast she thinks she’s having a heart attack. The EMT‘s are called and – my Mother, ever the comic – says “there I was in my knickers and a smile, with these two handsome boys looking after me…” My Mom was having her first, ever, galbladder attack. What she didn’t know what that my sister was in hospital, that very moment, having her galbladder removed. My brother-in-law hadn’t wanted to telephone people during the night. Later, after several galbladder attacks, my Mom had her galbladder out too.

I still have my galbaldder and have had no further problems. I think the common thread was the dieting. My sister and I had joined the diet club, my workmate had joined the same diet club but in a different part of the city. My Mom had recently been diagnosed with diabetes and was on a low fat diet to regulate her blood sugar.

Still, for a condition that isn’t transmitted like a cold or the flu, it does seem rather usual for all four of us to have had our problems at the same time.
