This is my favourite coincidence story from a tv programme years ago. A man was having a day off work and he decided to go walking in the remote hills of the Lake District. He stopped for a break and a flask of tea near to an emergency phone. (In the days before mobiles these were dotted about in case you got into difficulties in a remote spot) whilst he was there having a sandwich and enjoying the peace, this phone began to ring. Feeling a bit bemused, he answered it and found it was a colleague from the personnel dept of the company he worked for. She was saying ‘sorry to call on your day off but can I just ask about …’ at this point, utterly confused he stopped her and said ‘how are you ringing me on this number?’ And she said ‘I’m just ringing your home phone number from your personal file’ . He explained where he was and when she looked at his file to check, instead of dialling his phone number, she had dialled his employee reference number, which just happened to be the number of that emergency phone, that he had just happened to stop by for a break at that moment!

I'm from Wisconsin and my parents were shopping at a grocery store in Bullhead City Arizona and ran into one of our neighbors in the check-out line.

When I was 15 in upstate New York, my car's wheel fell off on a lonely country road at midnight. I walked to a house to call for help. I met the person who opened the door and he was staying there for the summer from New York City and played the piano. I thanked him and left to wait for the tow truck. 16 years later, I moved to Seattle. The first week there, I went to check out Nordstrom's Department Store and heard the piano. I walked to it and listened to the guy play the piano for 45 minutes. When he took a break, I introduced myself and complimented him on how great a pianist he was. After talking to him for a few more minutes, we realized, he... was the one who opened the door at midnight on the other side of the country to call my tow truck.

My favorite coincidence is the one that happened to my grandfather. He was in WWII and he signed a dollar (it was a whole thing; look it up if you're interested). Then 40 or 50 years later, he was at a yard sale in his small hometown. He wrote a check, and the man recognized his signature. He gave him back the bill and I still have it in an album! Yes, it's crazy the bill made its way back to his small town, but what's even crazier to me is that the guy recognized his signature! If he hadn't (or my grandfather hadn't paid with a check), then we would've never known.

My mom had a similar experience to the book one. She borrowed a library book and went on vacation, someone stole her luggage including the book...

She knew me since I was very young and she went to my church. She brought it to me. We live in a tiny town (1 mile sq) hundreds of miles from the ocean.

My dad was stationed in Tokyo post WWII. He was in a bar and (unusually for 1945ish) stepped outside for a cigarette when a high school classmate walked by. They were from a tiny town of 800 people--25 in his graduating class. Neither knew the other had even joined the army or had any communication in many years. He used to tell that story and say “And THATS why you can never plan a perfect crime…..an unexplainable coincidence will mess the whole thing up”.

My one and only crazy coincidence is one day when I was working at a shoe store, a man walked in with a woman that looked so familiar. It bloomed on me that he looks exactly (and I mean EXACTLY) like my buddy from high school, but older. So I presumed it would be his father. So I waited until he bought shoes because we usually ask for full names and addresses. When he bought shoes, I waited to hear what his last name was and it was my friends last name! I then asked how my buddy was doing in the sense that it was his son. Then he replied that he’s never had kids and didn’t know who I was talking about..... Mind was blown.

Back in the 1970s, Anthony Hopkins was working on the movie The Girl From Petrovka. He wanted to read the book it was based on, so he hunted for it through numerous bookstores in London. He gave up and sat down on a bench waiting for the train. Right next to him was the book. Not only that but it had the signed name of the author in it with notations all over inside. Years later when working on A Bridge Too Far Hopkins met with the author of Petrovka, George Feifer, and explained about the book he found. It turned out to be the only copy the author had had in his possession. Hopkins gave it back.

The Radiolab podcast has an episode on Stochasticity which is a scientific term for randomness. They actually interviewed the Laura Buxton's and found out that despite all their similarities, they had quite a lot of differences as well. The newspapers and tv stations that reported the story just focused on the similarities. It's a fascinating podcast about how we find order in chaos and focus on the similarities while dismissing the differences when trying to attach meaning to things

A few years after leaving high school I had a dream about two close friends and a concert we had gone to. Next day an old friend called and told me those two friends had died in a car crash the previous evening. They were in separate cars, both were the drivers and they hit each other head on. Freaked me the hell out and I don't understand even thirty years later how that happened.

I have a weird story. When I was growing up in Pittsburgh PA, my parents bought a house that the original owners left some things. One of them was a mantle clock. This clock would not tick. Then when it was announced that Harry Truman was on his death bed that clock started ticking by itself and would not stop. Finally when His death was announced the clock stopped working never to work again. I was watching a PBS documentary many years later were Harry's son was being interviewed. Behind Him was a mantle clock just like the one We had!

In 1965, when I was a teenager, I went with my parents on a driving/camping vacation, stopping in Mesa Verde National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Wind Caves National Park, with a day-jog up to Mount Rushmore National Monument. Everywhere we went, there was a woman my mom kept seeing. My mom didn't know her, but there was something identifiable about her so that my mom knew it was the same woman. On the way home, we were going to stop in Zion National Park, but one thing and another delayed us, so we wound up stopping at a National Forest campground near Salt Lake City. There was a tiny postage stamp of a National Monument near it, which we had never heard of before, called Timpanogos Cave, so we decided to go down to the Monument visitors' center and tour the cave. We were going to have to wait for the tour, so we went into a little theater in the visitors' center to watch a slide show. The theater was just darkening as we went in and sat down in the back. When the show was over and the lights came on, and the other family in the front (they were the only others there) stood up, my mom was surprised to see this same woman. My dad was surprised to see her husband, who was his supervisor at work. Yes, they had been at all the same places we had, and had intended to go to Zion, but had been delayed, and had just decided to go to this little Monument they had seen on the map.

Not only a Cabin Boy, but pirate as well!! Him and Richard Wayne Kerr would hang out together. Their friend Wayne Conner was married to a real nice girl. The leader of their little group was Jack Kingman. Eventually they all got off. Now Wayne Conners wife she’s oriental her name is Faye Quans... All of Wayne’s buddy’s want to meet her. Now when Wayne and Faye were dating. He was very hard on her. You see he did not want to come off like a cabin boy. Wayne was very sensitive when it came to Faye. She enjoyed his testy nature. She works hard and comes first with him. Now Richard Wayne Kerr, his buddies called him “dick” for short, and Jack Kingman were just trying to get ahold of them selves and come to grips. You see in taking matters into their own hands they were able to get off. Their buddy Richard “Dick” Parker was eaten at sea. You never think it could, but stay on deck or might you be eaten.

Hmmm, I wonder what what are the odds of a construction worker blowing a kiss at a girl, especially one that's staring at him?

I always think of all the myriad times I might dream of a loved one or just an acquaintance and.... nothing. Unless their is an EVENT that coincides with said dream would I even notice it or have a memory of it. As someone said, we remember the hits and forget all the misses.

Years ago I made my first visit to London from Sydney. Not really knowing anyone there I decided to try to locate an old colleague who had moved there years earlier, my only assist being he was a travel agent who I thought had moved to a town called Hove, near Brighton. So I caught the train to Brighton then bus to Hove and visited every travel agency until I found one that knew him but said he'd moved to eastern Europe. So I sadly bus & trained back to London and caught the bus back towards my hotel. As downstairs was crowded I went upstairs and of course who was sitting in the seat immediately facing the stairs? How many buses are in London, and bear in mind I'm legally blind so if he hadn't been in that very seat I wouldn't have had enough vision to spot him anyway. I went with him and had a lovely night staying at his home, back in Hove, where he did still live. He'd only come to London for the afternoon to buy something.

3:10 something similar happened to my grandma. She was browsing the boxes at some outdoor antique shop when she began to exam some old school newspaper clippings, only to find that they were the articles she'd written probably about half a century earlier or more. The shop owner sold them to her for a reduced price.

Man you’d think they’d have had time to hammer out all these glitches in the Matrix by now...

The same thing happened to me that happened to Anne Parrish. When deployed in Afghanistan I picked up a book named "With the Old Breed", in 2008. I read it and turned it back in. In 2020 while stationed in the Phoenix area , there is an annual used book fair. I had been looking for the same book because I had really enjoyed it in Afghanistan, and lucky found 1 copy. After getting home I realized it was the exact same book I had read in Afghanistan. It had the same USO stamp and even had the same piece of paper that I had left in it in Afghanistan. Crazy right?

Lived in France for a year and at some point a friend went to visit me so we could go backpacking thru Europe for 3 wks. One day, we were sitting on a train on our way from Geneve to Milan and were talking about a guy that we met during our youth in Mexico, but totally lost track of his whereabouts for the past 10+ years. The next day we bumped into him in front of an old castle near downtown Milan. He was living in Russia but went that day to Milan to spend the holidays with a friend he met in college.

I had heart surgery when when I was 12 and there was another girl in the same hospital room who had the same full name as me, the exact same birthday, and our moms had the same name. The surgeon ended up moving me to a different room, so he wouldn't confuse us and do the wrong procedure on the wrong kid.

They probably both were both anxious to see that day (50th anniversary of adopting the Declaration of Independence). When it came, they relaxed and nature took its course. At least that's one explanation I've heard.

When I was about 12, I had a dream that two small planes took off from the same airport. One of them turned around and crashed into the one behind. I saw them fall from the sky in flames and they fell into a body of water. A few days later, I saw in the newspaper that two small planes had taken off from the same airport in Wisconsin somewhere, one turned around for whatever reason, smashed into the other one and both ended up exploding (both were full of fuel) and falling into a lake, killing both pilots. This accident happened the day after my dream, so it's not like I could've heard it somewhere. I don't think people believe me when I tell this story but I'll never forget it. When I was that age, I had maybe 5 dreams where I saw events that hadn't happened yet. And then just as fast as they had started. They stopped. lol

Wtf!! I always thought I was alone in this. For an entire summer when I was nearly 12 I dreamt about plane crashes the night before or a few days beforehand. Never failed to end up actually happening. This was the year TWA flight 800 happened too. It used to disturb me so much because I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening or help anyone...in every dream I'd be in the passenger area of the plane. But, exactly like you, it stopped happening after several major incidents that one particular summer. I'm nearly 40 now, not crazy, still am highly intuitive, have told maybe 1-2 people about that time in my life because it all seems so absurd... But it absolutely did happen. Now I just trust intuition to tell me when something's wrong so I don't have to watch plane crashes in my sleep. Although, I can't say intuition has really ever told me anything nice even still. Oh well. 😐 I definitely believe both of you if you say you're being truthful. Wonder why and how the fuck that happened to us in particular? Tf were we supposed to do with that information?!

I was living in NYC at the time and was taking a nap at the time it occurred at about 10 or 10:30 pm. I had a dream of two people on a dark NYC street. One shot the other and a crowd ran up to them. One guy shouted hyterically at the shooter, "Do you know what you've done?!" The dream woke me up so I turned on the news and there was the story--they had broken into regular programming. And I'm thinking to myself, "I just saw that!" Later, I heard that there was a by-stander who said to Mark Chapman, "Do you know what you just did?!" So creepy. Well, I'm glad I'm not alone in this!

I had a "synchronous dream" once back around 1990. It was extremely vivid and memorable. I dreamed that I was wandering through the wreckage of a giant military transport that had crashed on top of an apartment building. There were screams,bodies, victims crawling around, etc... I woke up from it and learned a couple hours later that a 747 had crashed on top of an apartment building somewhere in Denmark about the same time I had my dream. And the footage on TV looked just like what I had seen in my dream. I've never had another instance like that before or since. Just that one time, but it really weirded me out.

Accident and coincidence is not same

One Friday night (about 30 years ago) I walked into a pub (long since closed) looking for friends. They weren't there. However I looked around a corner and sat in a group was someone who looked more like me than felt plausible. The nose, mouth, chin and receding hairline. It was like seeing a twin you've never met or known about. I went cold and left immediately. I never saw them again thankfully. I've never mentioned it before to anyone. I don't know what I was scared of but it spooked me so much that I went straight home.

I was able to trace my ancestors and my boyfriend's ancestors back to the same town in Germany, where there was a business by both names (Horne & Bauer). Both families immigrated within 10 years to the same town in Ohio. My boyfriend grew up in Michigan, but moved to Ohio for school. We got an apartment together, and found out that his great great grandparents bought a house 100 years ago just a half block from where we live now. He never knew any of this, since his dad knew almost nothing about his family's ancestry. So weird. Basically, our families knew each other in Germany in the early 1800s, and somehow we met in 2012 at a cookout that neither of us planned on going to.

Stephen Tyler while touring someone's house who just moved into his neighborhood, he noticed their piano. Asked them some questions, it was his parents piano, the piano he learned to play on, and the piano he had written dream on.

One day in 1930’s, when Joseph Figlock was ambling alone in the street of Detroit, a baby fell off a fourth-story window and luckily landed on him, neither was injured.

I'm from the Netherlands, and I ran into my classmate in New-York, on a free ferry that leaves every 20 minutes.

I attended university in a small US town, and one of my roommates was a Hungarian girl named Eva. We got on quite well, but lost contact after graduation. Over a decade later, I was with some friends at a pub in Germany. A friend of theirs, who I didn't know myself, just happened to walk in, and joined us. In the course of our conversation, I found out that he was Hungarian. When I mentioned I used to know a Hungarian named Eva, he got a strange look on his face and asked what her family name was, and where I'd met her. It turned out that after graduation, Eva had met him at her first job, and they were together for several years before breaking up. So he'd travelled half-way around the world, only to encounter his ex's old roomie in a pub! 😊

This was in the 90's and I had got my first computer with internet, and I had just some days before searched my name and only one other person in my country had the same first and last name.

The year leading up to a trip to the UK at age 12 I had a reoccurring dream in which I could see my feet bathing in a rushing stream as I say on the banks, then looked up to survey the rolling water, the trees, the clearing, etc. It was very vivid and specific, including the boulders in the center of said stream. Then one day on our trip, travelling through Wales, we stopped for a picnic, walked a little ways into the forest by the side of the road and there in the clearing we came upon was the exact setting from my dream.

When it started happening my first thought was; I have been here before - I saw everything in the order I had in the dream although it was my first time - that was when I saw the cement crib, it took all of my strength to get the horse off course. Not deja vu, I had had the dream nearly a year before the incident happened.

I have a couple of these that happened to me pretty recently, while in my geography class we had to introduce ourselves to the class along with our favorite vacation spot. I said Alaska and then looked at a map and saw Guatemala. While looking at the map I thought to myself “I have to go to Tikal someday” and immediately after that the next 2 students to introduce themselves, who didn’t know each other, both said their favorite spot was Tikal.

My weird coincidence was when I was in the army. I was posted to a unit (my first, actually) and immediately started getting a metric arse ton of regimental duties to do. 24hr long Guard shifts mostly, with the occasional on call "duty driver" too. All low ranked soldiers were expected to take turns with these duties and you'd expect a certain amount, generally once every couple of months, more if you pissed off someone "from on high". Except I was getting them pretty much every week, sometimes multiple times per week. This went on for about 6 months and I was seriously wondering WTF was going on, as were the guys I worked with and some of my superiors. It turned out that there were two other guys with the same name in the unit (Initials "GIF". Yes, as in the image format. Yes, my parents were nerds in the late 80s.). These two other guys also happened to come from the same area I came from. We were all the same rank and all had very similar service numbers (one digit different, with the same last 4 digits. Most military stuff just went by the last 4 digits + name, because that's generally "good enough".). So yeah, I ended up doing the duty shifts for those two other guys, and myself. The bastards. I had the last laugh though. The rest of my 3 year posting at that unit, I only did one more duty (because a guy went down sick the morning he was due to start it) aaaand on that shift I got to hang out with Sir Patrick Stewart because of that.

My craziest coincidence was that I was looking for a job a few years back at a mall's Starbucks. Ended up not getting it and was told by the employer that I wasn't "bubbly" enough. 2 years later I was volunteering for a large, city-wide event that had about 10,000 volunteers. There were about 30 different jobs you could potentially take. So I was scheduled one with a specific time, date, floor, and room to start working in. They also randomly picked out partners for us to work with and it turns out the employer who rejected me at that Starbucks was my partner for volunteer work. We kinda just laughed it off and they had apologized while informing me that they didn't stick at that Starbucks for long. But the fact that we both decided to volunteer at this event, we both picked the same job, on the same day, selected for the same time, on the same floor, and that we were both partners was crazy to me.

So my parents and I were on a camping at the small river Maggia in Switzerland when I was a kid. I played with a little green and white lego duplo boat and when I didn't watch out it was carried away by the current. the river Maggia leads into the Lago Maggiore then into the river Ticino, the river Po and eventually into the Adriatic sea, that's the ocean EAST of Italy. The boat had my name written on it with permanent marker, a bright yellow piece of cord knotted on the front of it so I could pull it and some very destinctive teeth marks from... when I tried to eat it. A few years later we were on holiday on Sardinia, an island to the WEST of mainland Italy. We went on a little hike along the coast when I found that very same boat in the surf on a beach. It was kinda dirty and pale from the sun, but it had traces of the permanent marker, a piece of the yellow cord and the bitemark. I have no Idea how it got there. I first thought that it was just carried there by the currents, but for that to happen it first needed to travel down about six or seven hundret kilometers down the river and then over 2000 km around mainland Italy. And it somehow had to go through multiple hydroelectric plants on that route. So maybe someone found it somewhere downstream and then proceded to lose it again nearer to Sardinia where it swam in the water long enough to get pale. My friends suggested that my parents made another boat look the same and placed it on that beach for me to find. But that doesn't make much sense either as I didn't play with lego duplo anymore at this point, so it wasn't of much value to me anymore. And as I was the first of us arriving on that beach, putting that boat there without me or my brother noticing would have been pretty tricky. And they somehow would have needed to get a boat that looked like it was already in the ocean for a while. I'll probably never know how it got there.

I actually have two of these coincidences, though one is secondhand. My high school friends family took a trip to Europe and while travelling in Luxembourg they decided to take a short cut through an alley way. Coming down the opposite end of the alley way towards them were their neighbors from 2 houses down from their hometown. Neither family told the other that they were taking a trip to Europe. (I also knew both families and confirmed both sides of the encounter) The one that happened to me personally was just after high school. I went into the military and after Basic Training I was supposed to go to a base on the Gulf of Mexico. That base was currently being hit by a hurricane, so my transfer was delayed. They had to figure out something for us to do, so we ended up sanding a B-52 (a big plane) by hand for some general's retirement. During this fun stuff, I struck up a conversation with the guy next to me. Turns out he was from the same town as me. Also turns out he lived 1 block from my old home. He lived on one side of a dividing road and I lived on the other so we went to different High Schools. We also had Many of the the same friends but had never met or heard of each other. And there we were, sanding a B-52, by hand, in a different state from our homes, talking about the friends we both knew and the things happening on the street we mutually shared, and having no clue that we even existed to each other until then.

I then came to this channel, where you mentioned Petra, Jordan in one of your videos. Because it had been mentioned twice in one day, I thought I'd google some pictures of it. After looking at those pictures, I went on Facebook. One of my friends had just posted a photo album of pictures from....Petra, Jordan. The photos were from seven years earlier. She'd just picked that day to post them for whatever reason. I'd heard of Petra before, but it had never been a place I thought about consciously before. Then suddenly in the span of a few minutes, I encounter it three times. I know this is a very minor coincidence, but stuff like this happens to me constantly. I'll be reading a book and an exact date is mentioned. It turns out to be that same date as the day I'm reading it. Or I'll be watching a movie, and a town I've just visited for the first time two days earlier will be mentioned.

I had Friday evening shift alone, went my rounds to make sure everything was in order, turned off and locked. On Sunday that same weekend I had ice cream with my grandma in our local cafe, while enjoying the sun. Suddenly and out of nowhere this urgent feeling hit me over the head, that I had forgotten something VERY important at the office on Friday. My chest became heavy, my hands started to shake, I need to go there right now or something bad would happen. I tried to fight it, because I thought it was ridiculous to go all they way back to the office on a Sunday afternoon, when I had to go back the next day anyway. But I couldn't sit still, I had to leave my grandma there at the cafe and rushed to the inner city district. With every step the feeling got worse. I ended up running to the office like someone's life was on the line. As I swung the old outer door open and entered the hallway, I smelled a little bit of gas. It was enough to get my attention, but not enough to alarm me. A lot of old buildings operate with gas, and sometimes you'd smell it a little bit. My mind was set on the office, I checked everything, but there was no problem. I was puzzled, what the hell was going on? I closed and locked everything and again I smelled gas in the hallway. It was not fleeting, but persistent. My super serious lawyer boss lived in the same building with his family in the upper floor. Hesitantly I called him to alert him about the gas smell. Alarmed, he called the gas distribution company. As the service person arrived to measure the gas concentration and I knew that things were taken care of, I went home. The next day I came to the office in the morning, still puzzled about the previous evening. Before I could sit down I was called into the office of my boss. The service person had detected small, but yet many gas leaks in pipes all over the building. The gas leakage was minor, but it was good that it was discovered, the gas was turned off and a renovation would start immediately. He thanked me several times and shook my hand. I left his room still confused. This horrible urgent feeling I had on the previous day was about a couple of tiny gas leaks? That's it? Still puzzled I continued with my work. The renovation lasted months and soon they started digging up the whole street in front of the building. After two months there were still digging a gigantic hole into the ground and were not working on the building anymore. We still didn't have heating or gas in the building. One day my colleague came to me, pulled me to the side and said "Listen, I talked with the workers. Yes, there were gas leaks in the building, but the real problem was the big gas pipe outside leading to the building. As they renovated the pipes in here, they discovered a gigantic hole in the much bigger pipe outside. The workers said, that if they wouldn't have turned off the gas when you discovered the smell on that Sunday, the whole building block and street corner would have exploded within a matter of days." My heart sank into my stomach. All the families living in this and surrounding buildings, all my colleagues working here in the office, the small businesses on street level, the thousands of cars passing through this street every day. All could have been gone in a matter of seconds. I don't believe in God and am not religious, but for some reason I was alerted that Sunday. Until this day I don't know why I went back to the office or what made me go. But if I wouldn't have gotten that feeling or followed it, I wouldn't be here to write this. Is this coincidence? Is this synchronicity? What is the mathematical probability for this? I don't know.

Great story either way. The world is so full of mystery.

My friend had a cricket in her house keeping her awake. She finally saw it, grabbed her workout shoe and smacked it but it was gone so she looked on the shoe bottom for the cricket. Somewhere, earlier that day she had stepped on a "Jimmy-the-Cricket" sticker and he was smiling back at her. She never found the cricket but she showed me the shoe with sticker the next day.

In 2004 I, living in Scandinavia, was talking to my Dad who lives in Tampa, Fl and he asked me if I had seen a new movie called House of Sand and Fog and he mentioned having met a guy by the same name as the writer (Andre Dubus), most likely his father, at a poetry reading in the 60's. Fast forward to 2013, I've been traveling a couple of months in Kaukasus with my girlfriend. Having just arrived in Yerevan, Armenia I get a cheap SIM card for my phone and find out that calling the US is really inexpensive so I decide I'll call my dad in the evening, as I haven't talked to him since I left home two months earlier. After dinner and before we head back to our hotel for the evening we go into a book store and find they have a small section with foreign language books, probably 50-60 books in English. Nothing of interest except, of course, House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III. So when we get back to the hotel I call my dad, we talk a minute or two before I ask him what he's up to and he tells me he's just started reading a book he picked up in a used book store the day before...and of course the book is House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III.

On the coincidence front, I spent a lot of my last year at school in the art department, I really enjoyed drawing in chalk & charcoal. Turned out at the end of the year a lot of students artwork had gone missing. [We later found out one of the teachers had been selling the better stuff off.] Years later I was visiting friends after they got back from their honeymoon. He was showing me some of their wedding gifts. I looked at one of the pictures on the wall, it was of a rams skull, done in chalk & charcoal. I said that's one of mine & was told it couldn't be as it was bought as a present from an art dealer. I persuaded them to take it from the frame & there in the corner was my signature. It had only travelled a few hundred miles to get to him but I thought it was odd that it ended up in the possession of such a good friend after going missing decades before.

Consider: these coincidences are artifacts of the algorithms that create the imperfect simulation/game we exist in.

I had a guy convinced of this try to date me earlier this week. It was one of the first things he said about himself. It’s odd how many people are at least purporting their belief in a simulation.

My father told me of an instance of miraculous coincidence [when I was young, so I don't remember specifics], where a guy was walkin' down the street & as he drew level with a payphone, it rang. Since the guy was not in a rush to get where he was goin', he picked up the receiver & said "Hello". The person on the other end of the line said "Hi [guy's name]" & continued to converse... The guy was amazed, as the person on the other end of the line was his best friend, who [it turned out] had mis-dialled the guy's home number & got the payphone he just happened to be walkin' past at that exact moment... Unsure if this is a urban legend or not, but if it actually happened, then that's pretty amazin'...

I recently watched a video about a guy who desperately needed $15000 and just happened to land up at his old address one day when the postman was delivering a 'last notice' to HIM (not the new owner) to collect the $15000 that his deceased dad had saved in an account that the family did not know about!

When you think how many coincidences there could be, it’s amazing that there aren’t more of them.

I’ve had the “dream about someone and found out they died recently” a few times. I’ve also frequently run into long lost friends and acquaintances in random, crowded locations in New York and San Francisco. The one that really was strange though was when I picked up a book in a college library and found a photo of a guy I used to see (who I had very little in common with so much that I couldn’t figure out why I wasted my time because he was annoyingly dull) being used as a bookmark in the book. Granted he had gone to the same college, but it was very weird. It was a big library.

My grandpa was digging up floorboards in his daughter in laws house, in his daughter in laws hometown, which he lived in for a few years. He found a copy of the west Australian newspaper, which had an article from the town of Meekatharra, another town where my grandpa lived. The newspaper was from the 1960s, and was about how my grandpa's friend, who was on the council of the town of Meekatharra, had approved plans for a swimming pool to be built in the town. Not really a coincidence but still cool

I once interviewed for a job I was really hoping to land. When I didn't get the job, I was pretty disappointed. MONTHS later I dreamt that I bumped into the hiring manager at a grocery store and asked him why I was passed up for the job. I woke up and didn't think much of it. Later that day, I was in a different part of town and needed to pick something up at a grocery store in which I'd never visited before. As I rounded the corner down one of the aisles, I saw the hiring manager! I thought about striking up a conversation before I spotted his young child with him. Rather than create a potentially awkward situation, I decided to leave the man alone. It's one of those crazy stories I sometimes find myself randomly thinking about.

Years back when I was visiting Los Angeles (2,100 hundreds miles away from me), I was standing on the corner of the street and came across my grade school teacher of all people.

I know this post is three years old, but I feel like adding to coincidences. When my daughter was little in the ‘80’s I had bought her some down mittens. 30 years later, she went to a thrift store in another town and found mittens just like hers! When she turned them over her initials were on them in my handwriting!!!!! She immediately sent me a pic of them and YUP! They were hers!!!! It was my handwriting!!! Of course she bought them. Sweet returns! ❤️❤️

When I was 5, I once woke up in tears. When my mom came in to ask me what was wrong, I told her that I dreamed that my great grandmother had died. Later that day, my grandpa called and told us that his mother had died overnight. That has stuck with me for 33 years now and still freaks me out, probability or not.

I live in southwestern Slovakia in a small town called Kolarovo. The majority of the people here is Hungarian (80-85%). When my grandmother died she never told anyone that she wanted to go back to Hungary. Because after ww2 the population of southern Czechoslovakia and Hungary changed. Politicians figured that they want to move forcefully Hungarians out of Czechoslovakia and the Slovaks who lived in Hungary could take thair place(houses, animals, property). So the coincidence begins here. My stepfather is an anthropologist (he researches past culture and traditions) so he went down to the Budapest archives to search for data for his new book. He stumbled on a personal letter from my grandmother that somehow got to Budapest and ended up in the archives. She said that she always wanted to go back to Hungary and that she was in a relationship with the major of another town that she lived in... She probably decided that she would take this information into her grave. And if not to pure coincidence we would never know this. I hope that you could understand this :) Sorry for my bad English.

I have a brother, who is about 11 years older than me. We've never been close, and in my entire life, I've only been around him a handful of times, as he was never interested in hanging out with his birth family, once he had a family of his own. The last time I saw or heard from him was around 1999, or so. Back in the 70's, my wife and I went on a camping trip. It was an isolated campground, and several states away from the state where my brother and I both lived at the time. As I was setting up the tent, in an area I thought we pretty much had to ourselves, I was annoyed to hear some people over a near-by ridge. I walked the 30 feet or so to the top of the ridge, and there was my brother and his family, setting up their tent. We actually had a pleasant day or two hanging out, but then went back to our usual pattern of not interacting.

I had a childhood object show up 30ish years after I lost track of it. My dad carved a wooden race car for me when I was six or seven. It disappeared in a move soon after and I didn’t see it again until I accompanied my wife to a junk shop decades later. The shop was in the next town over from where I used to live, so it’s not as crazy a coincidence, but the likelihood of my going to the shop was basically zero before I met my wife, so there ya go.

This creepy "coindicende" happened to me: A few years ago I was interested in occuslitsm and liked to read about it occasionally just to learn something new. There was one particular Victorian/Edwardian occultist who I was reading a lot about; I was even fascinated by him. For a period of time he owned a manor house in Scotland (I obviously googled and looked at it on the internet). It this house he used to performed weird rituals. One day I sensed that his theories and rituals were kinda "evil". He suddenly just gave me a very weird feeling and I immediately "broke up" with him. The same night I dreamt of his former manor house in Scotland. In my dream I was inside of it and walked around and then it just went up in flames and burned down. Having a dream like that after "breaking up" kinda makes sense as flames or something burning down in a dream could mean that you are getting rid of something old in order to start anew. BUT the next morning, when I woke up, I felt the urge to google the house. First thing I saw in the news was that some tradgedy had happened during the night: the actual manor house in Scotland caught fire and burned down. No one knew what caused the fire.
