The Strange Coincidences Archive

Opening my post this morning, I received my new four number pin code for a new credit card which I recently applied for and the number is exactly the same as my existing pin code for a completely different debit card!

What are the odds of that???

My story is rather similar to that of KillerGL. I go about my daily life only to uncover coincidence upon coincidence intertwining the fabric of my life. I do perceive myself as observant but still the regularity is unnerving. Trying to remember them is to erode their mystique, so here a couple of my nuggets that I find hard to forget:

When travelling around the world I made a really good friend in my Aunties partner, Dave. I was going through a defining choice in my life and he told me about his past mistakes, a timely intervention with hindsight I may add. When I found somewhere to live in another part of the city (pop. 4,000,000) I went back and had a few beers with Dave. We discovered that I was living in the exact flat where he had grown up, even remembering the tiles on the kitchen floor. I didn’t know where he had lived before that moment. Needless to say we had more than a few beers after that.

While in this foreign city I went to a Rugby game with 80,000 (there or there abouts) people and remarked to my mates that I only knew two other people who would be there. Two minutes later though I was introducing the lot of them.

Then recently I was talking to my girlfriend about some old friend’s mum who had a certain dislike for me. The next day we met my girlfriends mum and she told me about how she had had a conversation with the certain lady and that she sent her best regards with no prompting from myself. Ok there was a big chance of this happening but the locality of the events was just hilarious for both me and my girlfriend.

On July 31st 1997 I was spending quality time with a now long lost but much loved girlfriend. Exactly three years later on July 31st 2000 I saw for the last time another girlfriend with whom I was to break up with the next day. This gives me bitter sweet reasons to mark in my memory the date July 31st each year.

As I’ve mentioned above I broke up with the second girlfriend on August 1st, speaking to her for the last time on August 14th 2000 (the first evening The Weakest Link was broadcast on UK TV). Weeks later I uncovered the first letter she had ever written to me dated August 14th 1998.

100% True!

What are the chances of these things happening?

I know the whole seeing certain times on clocks is getting pretty cliche, but for the past few years I have been seeing 9:23 and 9:11 all the time; not just on clocks either…EVERYWHERE. I still have not found out if this means anything (probably not) but its just kinda weird.

This always happen to me, always and i’m going crazy !

I see something I can notice somewhere. For example, the name of someone. Something you rarely see, or haven,t seen since a long time. Then, after seeing it, not much time after, you heard about it or see it again ! AHHH!

Example : I got the idea like this, to read The Art of War from Sun Tsu. That doesn’t happen often. Then, like tne minutes after, i’m going on a gaming website where a game designer put a quote from Sun Tsu. Oh damn. And that’s just one example from many. And when I say many, I mean MANY.

I had an Art teacher back in Highschool that kinda creeped me out. She was very pretty and had eyes that looked as though they could see into your soul. Anyways, i began to notice that where ever i was, she was there as well. When i was busy doing something, she would pop into my head and sure enough when i looked around there she was. This went on for about a year. Day after day after day; the same thing. So at the end of the school year, i approached her and asked why i would see her all the time, but she had no idea what i was talking about. I told her that everyday i would see her at a certain time, or when ever or where ever i happened to be in the school, she would be there. She had no idea what i was talking about. So i gave up on the situation and decided that it was just one of those weird things that happened.(I guess you could say an attraction on a subliminal state). Years later (13 to 15 years), i am questioning my sexuality and thinking that possibly i am bi. So i go on one of those bi-chatrooms and happened to discuss my wierd predicament to someone online. I told them that it would be nice to get answers as to whether or not i am sexually attracted to her. So the person asks me if i would like to see her again or someone who looks like her but is younger than her. I said yes i would, that way i could possibly get the answers i need. About 2 weeks later,i was in the mall and happened to look over and saw a woman that looked exactly like her (hair colour, height, body type, and eyes(exactly—even hazel like hers). She even looked at me as though she could see right through me like my teacher did. But this woman wasn’t her , because she was young like myslef. We made eye contact and smiled at each other, but nothing came of it. I didn’t have the courage to talk with her, i just felt very nervous and a bit weirded out around her. I have never seen this woman since that day in the mall, but now i know for sure that i was attracted to her.
Coincidence? or Cosmic Phenomenon? All i know is that this REALLY happened to me and i know what i experienced back in highschool and that day in the mall.
If anyone could explain why this happened to me in Highschool and then
13 to 15 years later in the mall, then please feel free to e-mail me and let me know. I somehow don’t think it was just coincidence!!

Hey my names Niall and anytime i look at a clock (which i rarely do anyway) its 99% of the time 7:21 which is also the day after my birthday and was the day i was supposed to be born, but that is not the coincidence, recently i was walking through town and saw a flyer for a band called ‘the 7:21’s’ which shocked me quite alot because i feel quite related to this time in a strange way thats hard to explain, but wait theres more even more recently i was at a concert in nottingham where reel big fish were playing we got to the gig at (surprise surprise) 7:21, i met a girl at this gig and have became friends with her and she was telling me all the bands she had seen which included the 7:21’s i told her how i always thought this band was scary due to the coincidences and amazingly i found her brother is the bass player for the 7:21’s all of this has made me think either that everything happens for a reason or that everything is connected in a strange way we just have too look hard too find it if any1 else has a connection with 7:21 please e-mail me

I was reading some coincidences on this site and came across one that contained 2 coincidences in it. The first one was where this girl correctly guessed a bartender’s name…Josh. First of all my name is Josh. Then she went on to say that she was born in 1989. So was I. Finally I looked at the date the coincidence was posted on the site. It was on July 29th….my birthday

rally strange things have been happening to me and my family lately and i dont know whether it is a coincedence or just something or someone telling us something. about a month ago me and my sister heather woke up at the same time to see a figure in our door ways and it scared the living hell out of both of us. about 2 weeks ago heather and my mom were home alone and they heard something or someone walking down the hall to the room they were in and they got up to see what it wass and no-one was there.last friday at 6 24 am my mom got a text message on her cell phone from my cell phone an empty text…my cell phone is dead i dont have a minutes or a battery for it so i wouod liketo know how the hell she got even a enmpty text message from my cell phone that has been in my drwer for a month without minutes or battery in it so it is dead. we did not think of that as much as when she was home alone the same afternoon and she heard the front door open but no-one was there. saturday night we were in the kitchen my sisters in the living room and my brother on the phone and my dad was upstairs well the doorbell rang but no-one was there this morning i woke up with my aunt judy’s hankerchief draped over me while i was sleeping the hankerchief has been on the same shelf for 2 years sense she died i have never unfolded it and never moved it once.

My brother and I were driving to work one day. Instead of going

’‘Hey theres Angelo!” OUR BOSS.

Out of all places he was there
