The Strange Coincidences Archive

Several years ago I was sat with a friend in a cafe. My friend commented on my Casio digital watch that I was wearing. He said something along the lines of, that I’d had that watch for sometime. I replied saying that I’d had for just over 5 years and not had to replace the battery since I bought it. I then looked at my watch to see a blank display, although the watch had been working fine, just a few minutes before. I took it to the local watch repairer, who told me the only thing wrong was that it needed a new battery!

my friend and i were playing cards when my friend decided to randomly select cards. My friend & I both selected the same number at least 5 or 6 x. 1:number one, my friend selects a 5,6,10. I did 6,8,7. Both equal 21. Next, 9,9,4 & 9,8,5. Similarity, 22. Then, 6,6,5 & 6,6,5 ! Both 17. Later, King,Jack,5 & The exact King and Jack face. (note there are 3 possible faces.) My friend’s brother was told to re shuffle several times. Yet we seemed to get it every time!!!

On November fifth a few years ago I discovered my brother had been in a serious car accident. At the wake a three days later I found myself attempting to read a book which I had started weeks before.
As I opened the book and began settling into it, I realized that right there on the page a character began to mention that it was November Fifth- Guy Fawkes’ Day, and the reason for their celebration-
though not mine…..the same date it was three days earlier when my brother became irrevocably injured.

If that is not creepy, then what is?

i was attending librarian studies and had this coed friend of mine, Mary, who insisted repeatedly on introducing me to a friend of hers named claudia, because she thought claudia and myself would make a nice couple eventually… anyway, that never happenned. I finished with studies and got lost with Mary for two years because i had to go to the Army (in Greece, joining the army is obligatory). We were supposed to honour an historical anniversary and my division went to this village for the event.When that was over we took the rest of the day off and there i was hanging out on this bar where i met a girl named claudia. When she told me her name i replied that she was the 1st “claudia” i’d ever known and told her the story about mary etc.Then she smiled and told me she was the Claudia Mary was telling me about! We had our laugh and then i returned with my division to Athens while she returned to her parents’ house when she finished school the same summer. Two years later, i was driving one day on National highway trying to get to a cinema on time. I was late and the meeting was with Mary, who i hadn’t seen in two years. She had also told me that i would finally get to know her friend claudia who’d be with her that night.So i arrive at the movies’, park the car and meet with the two girls… this was not the claudia i met during my army service! what are the odds of that?!

This happened many years ago. A friend and I went to see The Omen at the local theater, after the movie we went to a diner, where we had a late lunch. When my friend received the bill, he laughed, the total was $6.66. (anomymous)

I was watching the oldest Exorcist on TV on Sunday night. The next day, I get to work and there is a note posted on the host stand that said, this lady left her sunglasses at my work and that “Linda Blair” would be there to pick them up. I consider that a coincidence but I don’t know what to think about that.
Thanks

I was surfing the web the other day and stumbled onto a site called sneeze.com…...just then my 5 yr. old daughter walked by and sneezed twice. this led me to coincidence.com

It is a bit odd actually.
It started when a band came out called The Rasmus and the lead singer Lauri Ylonen. I use to have a dream about someone who looked exactlly the same (Im unsure why). The weird thing is I can’t get someone out of my mind called Nicholas Barrett from my primary school and he also looks like him. I have had a number of coincidences happen to me which are weird. Anyway my point is that the coincidence lies somewhere deep as I feel like I know Lauri and I know I actually love Nicholas. I am really stuck and I would be really greatful to hear from anyone.

My Cousin James’s coincidence occured in a 24-hour period on thursday Dec. 2nd. It “so happened” that James glanced at the time when it was “1:11pm, 2:22pm , 3:33pm, 4:44pm and 5:55am” Does any one know the odds of this? thank you,Please DO NOT INCLUDE my name and email
