The Strange Coincidences Archive

For the past 2 years atleast 3 or 4 times a week i randomly go to look and see wat time it is and the clock will read 9:11 then a few days ago i got a container of yogurt out of the fridge and i checked the expiration date and it said september 11. the about a week ago i was in traffic and got stuck behind a school bus and the bus # was 911 then i was playing a game called the sims were you have money to buy things like furniture well i had a little over 1000 dollars and i bougt a chair and my total amounth of money left went down to 911 dollars there have been many more but im just wondering if it is a sign because it freaks me out.

A few years ago my frends grandma had died in his bed room.Now he claims that she is haunting his house.He hears foot steps at night.He left hs camera on and captured a gohst hand pointing at a picture of his sister and his dog.

I was starting to read an entry on the site and the beginning said Hey Ya at the same time a song called Hey Ya started in my iPod. weird

When I was a teenager I went on a family holiday to Majorca with my younger brother, my mother and her boyfriend Paul. After we had been there for a day or two we noticed that Paul had only tanned in one place on his entire body. A small cirle of red skin had appeared on the centre of his chest and looked quite funny giving us a fair bit of amusement.

Then while we were out and about one day Paul spotted somebody that he recognised from his job back in England and went over to say hello thinking that it’s a small world we live in that you can go on holiday to another country and bump in to somebody from your job back home that you didn’t even know was on holiday, never mind the same country and place. But what really freaked us out was his friend was completely tanned all over his entire body except for a small white cirle on his chest that was untouched by the sun in exactly the same place as Paul’s burnt circle!!!

Just a short one.

As a child I regularly visited the co-op for my mum. Everytime you made a purchase you gave your store number and received a dividend later in the year. The number that I constantly repeated was 29988, coincidentally my first child was born on the 29th September 1988.

Last year i was writing an email from the family to a friend. Instead of writing everyones names at the end i just put our enitials , in age order,for short. D.A.V.E. ( Del, Angie, Vickie, and Elizabeth. ) I then noticed it was my grandads name!

One night me and my buddy were playing poker in our basement. Things started out ok intil we kept getting pcket 10’s, if no one knows what that is its when ur dealt two cards at the beginning and there both 10’s..well anywho we kept gettign these cards over and over again. We were really getting creeped out and were quite scared in oru basement. After a while things started dying down, so he threw a card at me which missed and landed on a pile of cd’s….that card that he thrown was coincidently a 10. Even more surprisningly it landed on a stack of 10 cd’s. We kept seeing this number many more times thta night. On a 20$$ bill which we used for betting there was a number 10 randomnly written on it, and a “broken” clock hanging up in our basement showed 10 oclock. ITs just so weird because we kept cutting the deck and turned up 10’s every time. I dont know what this means but defienlty we were creeped out:|

This is a rather light-hearted story which seems to amuse everyone who hears it.

I was driving to my work one morning and had stopped at a road junction when a driver came up quickly behind me and bumped the back of my car. When I got out to speak to him, he turned out to be a co-worker from my place of work! Not long after this, I was in my car again, this time in a different district, when the same thing happened – a driver ran into the back of my car as I waited to move off at a junction! This time, when I got out I found it was a co-worker from my second, part-time employment! Then, I was driving through a small town and, yes, you’ve guessed it, was about to move off when yet another driver ran into the back of me! Only this time, it was my WIFE (who said she didn’t see my car as she was busily waving at her sister, who was driving past on the other side of the road!)

Is this purely coincidence, or is there a conspiracy to kill me? (I hope it’s the first of these!!!)

My Fathers name is Tony Cole, he has a younger brother Toby and an Older sister Stacey. All 3 of them were born on the same day and same month of different years. August 28th. I asked my grandmother if she even tried to plan this and she said no. Even if she tried i don’t think all 3 of her children would have been born on the same day. I personally didn’t believe it at first. I thought they were just close and celebrated them on the same day so i looked at all 3 birth certificates and they all said August 28th. Weird huh!

I saw a book I wanted on the Net and typed in my request. The dealer acknowledged the order, but later in the day e-mailed to ask if I was the author of two books that had just arrived in her shop. I confirmed this. That evening I heard on the radio a man called Brian King speaking about a book of which he is the co-author: Beyond Coincidence. I called the book dealer to ask if she had a copy and she told me her sister had one which I could have.
