The Strange Coincidences Archive

I was driving with my daughter to France from Venice, I had a random set of CDs in the car and as we were past Genova I put in the one with Elgar’s 1st symphony. As it started I heard the overture “In the South” which was also on the CD and I had not heard for probably 3 or 4 years. As this piece started we passed a road sign to the town of Alassio, the sub title for the overture by Elgar is Alassio and I recalled this as we passed the sign. The odds of that happening I think are fairly low?

Every time I fart it REEKS..EVERYTIME! How weird is that?

Years ago I worked with a women named Kathy. She loved to read, especially self-help and inspirational books.

One day Kathy was very depressed and said she had been looking for a certain book, (“The Art of Living” I think) at her local library and found that someone had checked it out already. She rented this book frequently, she said.

I asked for the name of the book and almost fainted—I had the book at home. There were many Chicago libraries nearby but I happened to go to the one she uses.

She seemed very happy that I had the book (which I offered to give her). No, she would wait until I was done with it.

A few years back I had a “Big Brother” type of friend who was a high school teacher at a local school in our area. We were best friends for years & one day he had told me he had another “Big Brother” friend who was my age but was from New Jersey. He then went on to tell me he is from my home town in New Jersey.At the time I was living about 2.5 hrs. away from NJ in PA. He then showed me a picture & I could not believe he was showing a picture of my childhood friend who’s name was Arthur. It clicked as soon as I saw this kid’s face. I was 7 when I moved from NJ & I was about 15 or 16 when my big brother friend showed me this picture of this childhood friend. The part that cracked me up so was the fact that I said “hey is he name Arthur?” My Big Brother looked at me like “How’d you know his name?”

I was eating lunch at a friends house with several other friends and Nelson was away in New Plymouth. As I was eating, I dropped my fork. A few minutes later, I dropped my fork exactly the same way as I dropped it before. Zeny asked me, “was it a knife or fork?” I said fork. She replied, “Nelson is coming home.” Soon, Nelson did come home! Zeny was right. I wonder how the falling fork tells things like this.

Every time I look at the clock its almost always 1:23 3:21 9:11 or numbers that add up to 7. Like 4:37 3:47 or 5:27 but rarely do I see 5:27….I’m no math wiz but my bday 10/27/82 doesn’t seem to coincide with the other #s… Still weird thoe.

My mum’s friend was driving to Inglewood from her mothers house in 2006. As she was driving, the cars engine stopped. she pulled over to the side of the road. When she started the car, several times, the car would not start. But when she decided to go back to her mothers house, she started the car and it started alright. and there was nothing wrong with the car.

Three years ago, I worked with this lady in my high school library. She was an okay person. She wasn’t my fav but we got along just fine. I haven’t seen or thought of her since i graduated, two years ago. I was at work the other day and randomly thought of her. There was no reason, she just popped in my head and i had a feeling that i was gonna see her. The next day she came into my work.

This has happened to me more than once. Its such a strange feeling.
