The Strange Coincidences Archive

When I was 17, I had a dream that my boyfriend Mark was shot and killed by his friend Dan because of some jealousy concerning me. I woke up really disturbed by this and tried to get in contact with my boyfriend. I couldn’t all day and the fear mounted. He called me later that night to tell me that the night before (the night when I had the dream) it was Dan and his girlfriend that had been shot and killed by a jealous x-boyfriend. This has always stuck with me.

Remember the American television show “Newhart”? Then you know the running gag of “Larry and his brother Daryl… and his other brother Daryl”. The show went off the air over 20 years ago but I still hear this line when I introduce myself as Darrell.

In the mid 1980’s, while the show was going strong, I worked at a bank where I was sent to a seminar with two other guys, from a different branch…Larry and Darrell (spelling may have been different). When we got to the class we took seats next to other.

The speaker asked each perason to give their name and which bank they were with. You guessed it, first Larry gave his name, and then Darrell gave his. Sure enough there was a couple of soft comments about “the other brother Daryl” and then I gave my name.

The speaker couldn’t ignore the chance to give the famous punchline. After the laughter sub-sided, he turned to the guy sitting next to me who said “you are not going to believe this… but my name is Darrell too!” Of course everyone cracked up. Out of about 50 people there were 3 Darrell’s in the class and we were all sitting in a row. Starting a new gag for the day of Larry… and his brother Daryl… and his other brother Daryl… and his OTHER brother Daryl.

the night before the massive tsunami near India/Sri Lanka/Indonesia, I was about ten and I had a horribly realistic dream that the town I was in was having a tsunami and the water washed away our house.. this was understanable since we were staying in a beach town visiting at my granfather’s house. It was so real, however, that I woke up in a terrified state and ran to my mother’s bedroom incoherently carrying on that I was scared of the tsunami that was coming.. my mother didnt know what i was talking about and sent me back to bed.. I had trouble falling asleep after that. the first thing I heard the next morning was my grandfather saying to my mom, ” so did you see the news about that big tsunami near Indonesia?”

there was no way I could’ve known about what was going to happen, and it had happened the exact same time as I woke up in fear about it. I’ve often found that kids have a weird sixth sense like that.. oh and another small, stupid coincidence is that I am currently visiting my grandfather in his new house while I write this and we had tornado warnings last night.. what’s it going to be next haha

In elementary school in Oklahoma, I had a crush on a boy named Roy. It was totally unrequited all through high school as he never had anything to do with me. Twenty five years later, I make friends with a guy on the internet named John who lived in Georgia and again, I have a bit of an unrequited crush. We lose touch after a year or so. Last summer, I’m googling the friends of old friends and old flames and end up finding out that both Roy and John now live in the same town in Florida. I found this out because John had posted a photo of the business where Roy works! No, I have no idea if they know each other. That would be spookier still if they did!

when the boy was just into his teens,, after a few days of rain,, he went tubing on a river,, he got stuck in a area they called mill ponds,,, police where on thier way there already cause some woman had seen us on the river and knew it was a bit ridiculous… they pulled me out with ropes and then had to get some guy (who came in after me) out who was just about to get washed under a bridge.. If I goolge up the families last name,, the small river is mentioned on the first page of our family historical bio,,

This is not a coincidence, but it’s odd, so I will throw it out there. I was messing with my computer (actually my husbands Dell) and somehow made the date 1980 by pressing 3 buttons. I’m sure it’s just random…but still goofy.

One time my husband said his cars digital thermometer and compas went blank just as his wooden cross fell off of the necklace part that hangs on his rear view mirror. The cross got stuck on his car lighter, which he does not use.

I have had feelings that I would be seeing someone I knew later in the day. Fir example: I said we are going to se @@@@@@ at the concert. Then I said it again, and she was behind me. It was a big concert!

I also just so happen to wake up in the middle if the night right as dimeone else is just waking up in another room.

One time I leaped out of bed stood next to my daughters crib (9 months old) and the puked a second later….basically it was at the same time.

My husband must have weird luck with electronics because EVERYTHING seems to break that’s digital and his: car AC, another car radio, car heater gauge, DVD player, the computer that has a weird date on it, our tv (in one year). And uf there is anything he doesn’t demagnetize, I drop it ;)

And there is this name that is stuck on my brain too, but I don’t know why….and a town too…???

Sometimes my iPhone does weird stuff too, but it’s probably because it’s a computer :)

This one is more funny than funky, but I was up late researching Kung Fu, and I accidentally hit my eye on my daughters crib—I got a black eye ;)

There are many more, but I don’t want to attract a funky vibe, so I think I’ll just think about fun happy stuff for a while.

I have had a handful of dreams where someone random from my past was in my dream, and then the next day I saw that person.

When my husband and I moved to a new city, I guess the birds thought it might be a bad idea because, while we were at the beach 4 of us got pooped on. We were near each other, but it was still odd.

I have rescued SO many dogs in my life because they ALWAYS came to my house (especially Beagles). I guess The dogs knew that I would help??? I am too busy to help now, so dogs don’t come to my house anymore.

One time I was in my front yard, and a little mini tornado came by my lawn and blew leaves all over me—JUST ME. I had a feeling someone I knew died. I called my mom and told her. She said all was well. Later that day she called and said my Great Aunt Ethel died around the same time I called my mom that day. I didn’t know her, but we were related.
