The Strange Coincidences Archive

A few years ago I, every time I looked at the clock it was 7.47 and shortly after noticing this, I started doing a lot of travelling. I soon came to know that when I started seeing 7.47 on the clock a few times in succession, that I was about to take another plane journey – it lasted for quite a few years.

Last Friday night, my mother and I waited on line for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” to be released on Long Island, NY. We must have been the tenth group on line, and my mother took note of most of the people in front of us. I was unaware of them completely.

Today is Wednesday, she takes her students to a Native-American museum in Manhattan. One of the first people she sees is a person that was standing on line waiting for Harry Potter to be sold.

Later, on this Wednesday, we went to the Apple store, on Long Island, in hopes of purchasing a computer. Well, we were unable to, however on the line we saw a girl and her father, that my mother remembered standing on the line waiting for Harry Potter to be sold.

Astonishing, isn’t it.

Hi,

Just want to know if this has happened to anyone else. For the past week to 10 days My sister and I (who are very close) constantly seem to look at our clocks/watchs/computers at exactly 11.11, just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone before or if 11.11 means anything to you? Probably nothing but would be interesting if anyone knows anything. Cheers.

At school camp earlier this year, I was talking to someone from a group of people from a different school. She was asking about the names of my friends who were also there. After i told her a few, she said things like “Yeah, he looks like a John” or whatever. Then she said “What do I look like?” (she hadn’t told me her name yet) and I said “Hmm… you look like a Sarah” She turned to her friend who was standing near her, but clearly in another conversation, got her attention, and said “What’s my name??!!!!” Ans her friend looked puzzled but said “Sarah”. I was like whoa!!! (I dont think its that freaky, but im realllly bored at the moment…)

why is it that whenever you ring the wrong number on a phone it is never engaged?

i recieved a letter from work yesterday with a list of all the employees leave dates i noticed the name of someone i did not know and thought that they had an unusual name one which i had never come accros before the name was tamburrini, as i was reading some of the stories posted here i came accros one written by a stephen tamburrini

I was driving along and I had an itch on my neck. At the same time a person (I think it was a middle teenager boy) scratched his neck! Weird or what!?

My mother-in-law had gone to the hospital to see a friend of hers, last name Sexton, and answer the phone for her to screen calls. She did this most of the day, and then came to our house which is near the hospital. As she was visiting, the phone rang. Since the caller-id had the same last name Sexton, I handed the phone directly to her, assuming it was someone calling via cell-phone from the room. This was not the case. In fact, it was a relative of the person in the hospital trying to reach her, but calling from a different state, and was under the impression she was calling the room. To clear up the confusion, we asked how they got our number, but they did not get it at all. It turned out the hospital had the same exchange and first digit as us, XXX-6000. The friend was staying in room 318, so they had simply dialed XXX-6318, our number.
