The Strange Coincidences Archive

On several occasions, I may be out shopping for instance. I will see a stranger that reminds me of a person I haven’t seen in a while. Before the end of the day I would run into that person I waa reminded of.

I could also be doing random things like watching tv, reading, or driving my car while listening to the radio. I would see, read or hear something insignificant. Almost instantaniously something like a tv show or commercial, a sentence in my book, or a radio program would correlate to what I was doing. For example I was reding a book, while tv was on. As I was reading, the book mentioned “Atlantic City, NJ”. Next thing I know in the background a commercial for the Atlantic city tourism comes on. This happens almost daily to me.

On June 5th, 2004 I took my cousin to a party in San Jose. This evening would be the first night that my cousin, Claudine, would come down from San Francisco to party with me. When we arrived at the house, there were already at least 100 people there and we were greated by my freind’s housemate, Caz. Caz and my cousin, Claudine, hit it off and ended up hanging out all night long. Meanwhile, I was introduced to a boy named “Bug” and WE instantly hit it off and hung out all night long!!! Caz and Claudine are engaged to be married , and “Bug”,aka Jason, and I are engaged to be married as well!! We have been couples since that day!! If we wouldn’t have went to that party we would have never met out future husbands!!!

Okay, this one’s sad but strange and true…..
My mother had been sick for 8 months with Colon Cancer. Being an only child, I was very close to her. As a child I remember thinking that it was odd that my mom always told me that she wanted to be creamated when she died. It seemed as if she told me this every year or so and it was odd because she had a will that said so and it seemed that it didn’t need to be said if it was on paper. So when she got sicker and was weeks away from death I stayed at her home with her and her husband. As she suffered more, all I wanted was for her to be out of pain and if that meant that she needed to pass on then… so be it. I sat at her bed side late on night as she slept I saw a glittering figure at the head of her bed. I have been able to sense and communicate with spirit guides before and I tried to tune in to this entity to see if this was her spirit guide. I asked the figure if she was my mother’s spirit guide and she told me yes, and that her name was Isabel. She told me that my mother was going to pass away on May 14th, 2005 and that I shouldn’t worry. I immediatly cried and didn’t want to believe it. But, sure enough 2 days later at 6:30 am May 14th 2005, my mom passed away. Now, you might think that’s it but there’s more….when she passed away, my stepfather went out side to take a breath of air and discovered that her favorite dog, Rusty, had drowned in the pool that morning! My step father asked me that morning, what did she want done after she died? Well, I knew she wanted to be creamated from how she always told me so. Funny how she always wanted me to know that. I guess maybe part of her knew she was going to die young.

This one’s silly but still strange. My mom passed away and I had to clean out her office. My fiance was in town from Boise,( I lived in California) and he went with me to help. We walked up to the front door of her office building and I saw a cute plastic pink bicycle button and picked it up. Delighted by my new treasure I didn’t realize how strange it was that I had found it.( I used to ride my bike there to have lunch with her once in a while) About three weeks later( in Boise,Idaho) my fiance and I were shopping in a thrift store when he was milling through a basket of misc. pins and keychains and he found the same bicycle pin in yellow! I frequently thrift shop and I have never seen anything like it before or after. Needless to say we now have matching bicycle pins we found in two different states! And for our one year anniversary (a week later) he bought me a bicycle!!!Weird.

A friend of mine was hosting 3 guests from Spain at his home and I met them at a party he threw while they were there. 2 days later, I was walking the streets of downtown San Francisco with a co-worker telling her about these 3 guys that were staying with my friend from Spain. Seconds after I finished telling her about them, we turn a street corner, and who do I see walking towards us??? The three Spanish guys! How strange that they were in San Francisco walking the same path as us! Needless to say I spooked my co-worker out.

Hey Ya’ll…

Today my Wife Patricia was going to pick up dog food for our 3 dogs after work. Well, she forgot to get the food. Since I was going to the gym which is right next door to the pet store, I told Patricia that I would pick up the dog food.

When I was in the pet store, I notice a friend of mine from work looking around. As I was looking for the bag of dog food that I needed, my friend walks down the same isle. We both say hi and I asked what he was in the pet store for. He said dog food. I said, yeah me too. We both needed the same food in the same size bag.

This is not that spectacular of a coincidence but it’s worth mentioning.

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

My husband and I were taking a ride around the country lanes, on his moped, one hot summer early-evening recently. The lanes were completely deserted. As we were riding along we saw a small young red squirrel running back and forth across the right side of the road about a hundred metres in front of us. It kept running back and forth in front of our path so that we had to slow right down, and as we approached it at almost snail-speed we got a puncture and were able to stop safely immediately. That’s when the little squirrel ran off into the undergrowth. Would we have skidded if we’d been doing our original speed? Did the little creature somehow prevent an accident? Who knows. All I know is that I have always especially loved these little fellas, as l love all animals. This incident is ingrained in my memory now.

This is a weird occurance of coincidence. I bought one of those cd discs for my computor, which gives me access to the UK voters register. I tried to use it to find an old friend who lived in Cambridge, but was’nt getting very much luck. To trace on these discs
you have to put in the name and the location, and it comes back with the full address, provided the person still lives at that location.
No joy, so I put my own name in, basically to see how many persons there were in the uk with the same name as myself. It slipped my mind that I still had the village near cambridge listed. It came back with a person of the same name (christian and surname) as myself, residing at the address my friend had been living at. I managed to get a telephone number to see if this occupant may have known where my friend had moved to. I explained who I was and how weird it turned out to be. The lady I spoke to gave me her name and that was the same as my sister, when we had last seen my friend.

Like John Paul Bell further down this page…..
I to get to see the same numbers frequently, on a daily basis.
I get to see the numbers, 48, 484, 84 & 848, all the time anywhere.
Also during the day when I look at my watch, the time is frequently made up of the numbers 1 2 3 4 like 2143 1342 etc.
