The Strange Coincidences Archive

The way my friend and I met was the biggest coincidence of our lives.
I was always being picked on, and had very few friends at any time. My family was kind of worried about me, and my aunt mentioned something about a distant relative who was about my age, liked the same things I did, and her name was Shelbi.
Well, one of the guys who had been picking on me was making fun of my name while we were waiting for the camp bus. This girl was close-by, drawing, and when she noticed the guy being hateful she said something to him about it and he shut up.
[She was the first person to ever stand up for me. o.O]
We became friends. She liked drawing too, so I asked her to teach me.
She taught me a little and we sat on the bus together.
I made several friends at that camp. I was pretty happy.
One day, my parents told me they couldn’t afford to keep me at the camp that month and said that when they got more money they would send me back.
I promised my friends I would be back, and then left, believing I would be back.
I didn’t get to come back.
Well, the next year I was going to a new school. I didn’t know ANYONE.
As I was walking through the hall on the first day, I caught the eye of someone walking the opposite direction down the hall.
Our eyes caught and we just stared for a second.
Time seemed to stop or slow and I was thinking.. “I know her!”
We met again later that evening. She was the girl from the camp.
We both had noticed the wierd situation where our eyes had caught, but we didn’t think much about it.
Well, one day my cousin was staying at my grandmother’s house.
His friend was staying the night with him.
The friend happened to be Shelbi’s brother and they were cousins somehow!
Shelbi was the person my aunt had mentioned.
We are now best friends and do everything together.
Since going to the camp, several of our old friends have reappeared.
There’s more to all of this but I’ve allready typed enough.

Whenever I would think about one of my old friends and how I missed them, I’d hear from them again very soon after that.

Many years ago my two cousins found a monkey. Their last name was Love.. The next day I read the newspaper the paper said that two boys named Love had found a monkey. They were not my cousins and they were not related. Later that same day I was reading the coincidences section of the Saturday Evening post. It said that two unrelated boys had found a monkey and that their last names were Love but they weren’t related. Neither Loves in the magazine article were my cousin and neither of the boys were related to my cousins.

About a year ago, out of the blue, I had a dream about two kids, a brother and a sister that went to elementary school with me. These are people that I didn’t personaly know or had seen for over 20 years.

In the dream, the boy looked normal but the girl was a bright light that in the dream communicated with me telepathically. This light, communicated to me feelings of happiness, peace and love. I woke up feeling as if I needed to get in touch with or at least find out about these kids.

So, I get to work the next morning and decide to look up their names on the Internet. I’m thinking that maybe the meaning of the dream is that they are famous artists and that it should be interesting to find their work.

First, I typed in the boy’s name and nothing came up. When I typed in the girl’s name I found a webpage that was a tribute to her. As I look through the webpage I realize that the girl had passed away two days prior.

The days went by and I couldn’t stop feeling that I needed to share this story with her family, so on Easter day I wrote in her website the story of how I came to find the webpage. Till this day I don’t understand this coincidence but somehow I feel that the girl wanted me to tell her family that she is in a better place and at Peace.

It was fifth grade. My friend, TJ, called me up to sleep over and I asked my mom and she said yes so I was going to sleep over his house. 5 minutes later, I remembered my grandma was taking me to the rec the next morning so I couldn’t go. I called him back and told him I couldn’t. Whenever I slept over, we slept in the basement. That night, at my house, I was playing with fire. His house happened to be burning down at the same time. The fire was in the basement where we would have slept. His dad died in the fire trying to save his grandpa who also died. I remembered after the fire how that day had a few instances relating to fire. A girl had asked me if I liked playing with fire and I said I did but wasn’t a pyro. There were many crazy things about that night. It happened three years ago. The reason I’m posting this now is that last night, I had a dream of the same thing happening, only I was at the house during the fire. That forever changed my life.

A most INteresting coINcedence? Watching nature programs on tv,
I came to realize that many of the nature program hosts had the letter sequence “IN” contained in their names. Check out these names on the INternet:

1) MarlIN PerkINs

2) Steve ErwIN

3) Jeff CorwIN

4) AustIN Stevens

5) BINdi ErwIN (Daughter of Steve and wants to
follow in his footsteps)

Is it some fractal pattern…? Nature being very fractal and these people connected to the natural more than most modern people.

Maybe its an INternational conspiracy…......

Or maybe it’s just my imagINation…...........

I was staying over night at my friend’s house over the summer. We sleep in the basement and there’s a tv down there,a mini fridge, and a microwave. So that’s living right there. All day he was telling me about this movie called “The Scecret” and supposively after you watch it and underdtand it, you will be able to get anything you want.
So he put it on and he fell asleep and I watched. The movie was full of stories of people who can use the secret and they recieved some sort of fortune that they had hoped for. It was so wierd and made me feel all mystical. It began to thunder outside and it was raining really hard. There was a sheet over the window so no light can come in. It was pouring so hard out. when the movie was over, it was pitch black in the room and i went to sleep. There’s only a futon down there. It was folded into a bed so we had to sleep side by side .
I laid down and i noticed my friend’s foot was on my leg. I decided to see if the secret really works. I did what it said and a couple seconds later…he moved his foot away. then i noticed the storm was getting pretty bad. I tried it again, wishig the storm would go away but as far as I knew when I went to sleep, the storm was still going. I woke up to the sound of a lawn mower. I moved the sheet and it was a bright, sunny, hot day. cioncidence? or real?

It was my girlfriend’s and my aniversary on november 18th. it was one year. We had our separate plans for the day and neither of us new the other one’s plan. I got up early, went to her house and made her breakfast. Later on that day a gave her a silver bracelet. We spent the day together and that night,she made me dinner and gave me a bracelet with our names on it. It was so weird and totally unplanned. We made meals for eachother and got eachother a bracelet.
