25 Strangest Historical Coincidences Ever That Will Creep You Out

[@justiceLaw0000]

I use to work at a boutique in North Jersey. On lunch break I would share my lunch with a homeless man that always spent time on a bench near the boutique. He was very polite and was down on his luck. This went on for about a year then I had to move away. I moved to another town in South Jersey near Wildwood. I was on lunch break one day and ran to wawa to grab a sub and a few other items. When I went to pay I realized I left my wallet in my other purse. I was so embarrassed so I apologized the the girl at the counter and left. Less than a minute later I heard some one call out “young lady,” I looked back and the man behind me had paid for my lunch and was bringing it out to me. When we were face to face we both recognized each other. It was the homeless man. We both were wide eyed and so thrilled. I gave him a hug and this was years later. He had gotten a job and was doing really well. He told me he’s always been generous with people because of what I did for him. I will never forget him and our story. Life is full of surprises. His name is Robert. I hope he’s doing alright.

Many years ago, I was dropping a movie off at Blockbuster video when i locked my keys in the car. While unsuccessfully attempting to use a coathanger to open the door, I said loudly, "Where's a professional car thief when you need one?" A car had just parked next to me, and the driver said, "right here." Turns out, he was a repoman! We were married a year and a half later. He unlocked my car and stole my heart. ❤

One year, I went to Girl Scout camp about 2 hours away from home. That night, I had a nightmare that my daddy had passed while I was away and I didn’t get to hug him bye. I awoke right after, so upset that I gave myself a fever and my leader had to call my parents to come and get me in the middle of the night. My mother was so angry, but Dad just held me and said it was ok because he’d missed me too. That was early Sunday morning. The next day, Mom went to work while Dad was still sleeping. I went to check on him when he wasn’t up by 10am. He wouldn’t wake up. I called Mom and she called an ambulance. They took him to the hospital and he passed about 4 weeks later. Never came back home. But if I’d not gone home that Sunday, I’d have never been able to hug him again because he was in ICU the whole time after I’d found him unconscious.

In 1971 I was on a US destroyer in the Mediterranean doing surveillance on the Soviet fleet. One day, a Russian Cruiser got kinda aggressive in their shiphandling, we were standing on the main deck in the chow line, somebody said oh shit! I looked behind me, there was this Cruiser headed right towards us, they cam within a meter or less. On the Cruiser, there was a line of Russian sailors doing the same as us, waiting for chow! I could see that we all were (in a manner of speaking) in the same boat! 😊 Years later, I'm an engineer on merchant ships, had a junior engineer that was from Ukraine originally. We're talking and he tells me that the first time he saw an American was when he was on a Russian Cruiser and they just about rammed an American destroyer! I asked when was that? 1971! Yup! He was one of those Russian sailors I saw...

Once driving home in the pouring rain after a terrible day at work, with a migraine and horrible menstrual cramps, I experienced a miracle. I was less than a mile from home and I caught a red light. When it turned green, I pressed the gas but my car stalled. I cursed, not wanting to get out into the torrential downpour and deal with whatever the problem might be. I put the car in park and turned the key. As the engine immediately fired up, a car came blazing through the intersection going around 80 mph. I would have been directly in its path if my car hadn't stalled. Shaking I thanked God and proceeded home, my car never stalled again.

My husband's good friend G moved out of state and for several years they only communicated by phone. Every now and then G asked my husband to come visit, but he was always busy with work which made that difficult. One day my husband decided that he was going to carve out time to visit and booked a flight for a couple days later. He had an awesome week in Florida with G and his wife fishing, beaching, relaxing, golfing, and antiquing. The day after my husband got back home G's wife called in hysterics letting him know that G died from a widowmaker heart attack. G wasn't super young but was a very active, fit, and healthy guy. He had recently got a clean bill of health at a regular checkup. We were all SO grateful that my husband felt pulled to make time for that trip to have one last hurrah with his good buddy. ❤

When my daughter was born I was in the waiting room at the hospital with another man whose wife was also having a baby. The babies, both girls, were born at pretty much the same time. I didn’t know the man, had never seen him before. Six months later we’re having our daughter baptised in a Catholic Church that was the local church to the area where we had recently moved. The priest said there would be another baptism at the same time. When we got there, you’ve guessed it, I recognised the father as the very same man who had been in the waiting room with me.

My little cousin and i once went to a barbershop around the corner from where i lived at random one day back in the early 90s. There was a news story on the tv about Mardi Gras. The two barbers started talking about "going home" to NOLA for Mardi Gras. I asked the barber cutting my hair if that is where he was from and he said yes. I told him that is where my grandmother was from. He asked me what her last name was and i told him. Its a french name. He said it a few times and said he didn't recognize the name but said he knew some folks but with a similar sounding name. Knowing how southern people spoke and with their accents (and mispronunciations of names), i asked him what their first names were. He began naming my grandmothers older brothers and sisters! I stopped him and named the rest of them. He said "yes, thats them". I told him who my grandmother was and he told me that he came out to los angeles back in 1942 on the train with my grandmother, her first husband and her best friend! Turned out he was best friends with my grandmothers older brother and their families knew each other since elementary school. My grandmother had been deceased for about 6 years at that point so i called her older sister who was well into her 70s and she remembered this man. Tripped me out!

One Sunday after the church service, we had put both babies in the double stroller and getting ready to walk home, someone asked us if we would like a lift home. We thanked them but refused as it was more hassle to get the children out of the stroller, collapse it, put the children in the car etc etc than it would be to make the short walk home. On the way out of the hall someone else stopped us and offered a lift. On the way out of the front doors yet another person stopped us to offer. My husband and I commented to each other it was weird ... no one ever offered us a lift home (probably because it was such a short walk). So we set off down the road, and just ahead of us a car lost control and mounted the pavement. If those three people hadn't stopped us to offer a lift, we'd have been right there on the pavement, and we'd have all been killed.

I had been 18yr for about 5 months. I lived in eastern Washington and had a opportunity to go snow skiing at Jackson hole Wyoming. Long story short my ride had Fallin threw. So without thinking it through I decided to hitchhike. Keep in mind I had skis on my shoulder. The first car that stopped were 2 college age girls headed home for Xmas. And they would be driving through Jackson hole. After skiing my buddies family had to leave the condo (rich friend let me stay with them at a condo. They were going to Montana to see family). My friends mom gave me enough $ for a bus ticket home, but her son convinced me( while out drinking ) that he would pay me back if we spent the money. Well that fell through and they left. So I headed out to hitchhike home. The snowbanks from the plows were so high that I didn't think the drivers could see me. It began getting dark and I was honestly scared. Wyoming is vast and absent of people. I decided I would ditch my skis ($300 was a lot of money back then). As I headed down the snow bank to throw away my skis I heard a cars horn. It was the same 2 college age women headed home. I have often thought back on that fateful evening and today believe those 2 women were angels. I was so naive to the world. I believe it was 8 degrees outside when they picked me up. Not a winter goes by that I don't think of the 2 girls who picked up a stranger with snow skis hitchhiking. As I write this I just want to say thank you! I was a young 18 and they were early 20s. I don't know if I would be here today without them. I never saw them again. But I never have forgotten them. They were the first people I remember saying "pay it forward". I have paid it forward lady's. Thank u again

One week later I was on a tour on a bus , we got off and had a stretch , we decided to go to a nearby cafe , my partner went to the toilet whilst I sat and got into the shade . Suddenly behind me a man said “ are you Linda’s son ?” I looked round there was a man that looked familiar , but i was struggling to place him . He had a West Midlands accent . He stood up stretched out his hand and said “ tell your mum I’ll Finnish the back garden next week!” Smiled and said I’ve got to go back to the bus now I was astonished to realise this man was the gardener who had been mowing the lawn the day I left the Uk at my mums house .

I told him I lived at Westerhope and he said oh I used to live there in the 1980s. Then he said my street name and I said that is where I am. We both said number 21 at the same time and laughed.

I have a friend that I went to high school with, and we lived in the same neighborhood. I was in my 50's when I had a dream that had my friend in it. When I woke up, I felt I had to attempt to find him. I remember he said at one time that he worked at a marina where we grew up. I drove there and actually found him there. You might say, "well, he works there." Talking with him, he asked how I knew he would be there, because he hadn't worked there for 10 years and was only there because someone needed work on a boat. So, he normally didn't go to the marina. Just happened to be there.

I met a girl and we got together. We lived in different houses but the same city. One day, she was driving my car and got home to her house but didn't have a key to her house because she had my keys. For whatever reason, she decided to use my key to open her door to her home and lo and behold my house key opened her door to her house. Also, it turns out her house key opens my door with neither being hard to put into the door or hard to turn. It's a perfect match. We're also married now.

[@cheapbastard990]

That's actually about a 1 in 30 chance if the locks used the same stock key, and even better odds if the factory isn't truly randomizing them. Car makers used to be seriously bad about only using a handful of combinations. Until the 1980s it was pretty common to have one key fit 20% of cars with the same model. My aunt once accidentally stole a car identical to hers. She's bought it new only a few months before and got into someone else's when leaving a shopping mall. She didn't know it until she was stopped for driving a stolen care a few days later and when finding out where it was stolen from and when they put tho pieces together and they found her car still where she'd left it.

Not trying to take away from this sweet story, I know how near & dear they are. So as a warning, if this is YOUR sweet story, you may find the rest of this comment disappointing, please don't shoot the messenger. It is still a necessary psa, imo, and that's why I decided to share. I'm surprised that it is not more widely known that it is not uncommon for keys to work in multiple locks- the reasons why are explained well in this Quora post- Reposted from Quora (link below): "Answer to I purchased two of the same door lock sets and the keys are identical and open the locks out of different packages. Is this common? by Buster Ecks Yes, surprisingly common. When it comes to the production and manufacturing of locks, each manufacturer typically uses a handful of “like” keys. So it’s not at all uncommon or surprising that if you and 15 other people buy the same brand lockset that 2 or 3 of you will have the same key and can unlock each other’s doors. Why? Easier quality control and replacements. It’s far easier to make and keep paired 1 of 5 keys that work in a lock than to do the same for hundreds keys. It’s with this in mind that you’d want to hire a locksmith to re-key your locks thus giving you a far more unique lock that no longer works with the default keys. It’s at this point that many people say “I spent $20 on a lock, why would I spend another $50 to have someone re-key each?!” My response: security for the most expensive item you own and housing for other pricey items. To be fair, each manufacturer and even product line is going to have a few unique keys. So don’t expect to obtain 5 different Kwikset keys and expect one to work on a Defiant lock. But in the end, it’s worth noting the old proverb that locks are for honest people." www.quora.com/I-purchased-two-of-the-same-door-lock-sets-and-the-keys-are-identical-and-open-the-locks-out-of-different-packages-Is-this-common/answer/Buster-Ecks?ch=15&oid=249726132&share=9437507b&srid=ErpTX&target_type=answer

In 2014, I was assigned in my new job to a town in the Phillipines approximately 1,000 miles from home. I had to drive by a town which I visited 20 years back because my ex-girlfriend lived there. I haven't seen her in ... well... 20 years. Driving the company issued car, memories kept rushing back, my ex-gf and me, dating, spending our youth like forever, snacking under a tree in a park. When the traffic lights went green, I had to drive in slow motion. It felt like my tires were so lazy rolling and there seemed a magnet pulling me back as I leave the town. So I u-turned and decided to relax at a McDonald's. In line for my order, on the other cashier line was my ex-gf who I haven't seen for 2 decades. Our eyes met and locked for 15 seconds. We froze. After we said each other's hello, we sat facing each other. But she had to leave fast as her husband is waiting outside. I didn't know what to feel.

Two days later we got another new student, a blond 4th grade boy who looked a lot like the 5th grader, but this one from Kentucky. It was very uncommon for our school to get new students from so far away, let alone within two days of each other… but the real coincidence was that the two boys had met before, in an arcade at one of those big commercial rest areas in some far-off state they both were traveling through to get here, maybe Kansas? They had played some video games, neither knowing the other was also moving to Vancouver, Wa. It’s been more than 40 years and it’s still one of the neatest coincidences of my childhood as those two boys both felt they had a ready-made friend within days.

speaking of…When I was 17, a senior in high school, my teacher asked me to walk a girl to the parking lot to get picked up by her mother because she was getting bullied. I did and off she went. That only happened once. Later that day I went to my job working at a full-service gas station. From time to time, a disabled man (quadriplegic, I would later find out) would drive his van into the full serve lane for gas and occasionally to get air in his wheelchair tires. I would happily fill them to the proper pressure and off he would go. A few months later, I got into an accident that left me quadriplegic, exactly the same injury that he had. after I realized what being a quadriplegic meant, I remembered reading a book on the Vietnam War when I was a sophomore. It wasn't a book about the war, it was about the injury a soldier sustained in battle. He was quadriplegic. About a year later, I moved into my own apartment. One day, sitting by the pool, a man in a wheelchair entered the pool area. It was the very same man that I would help at the gas station. I thought, "well that's certainly ironic." I would see him from time to time and would play chess on occasion. A month or so later, I went out to the pool and he was out there with a young girl. He introduced her as his daughter. I immediately recognized her as the very same, bullied girl that I walked out to the parking lot that day. My mind was blown. I don't think all of this was coincidence. I believe it was "the universe" preparing me for what was to come. It made me believe that I was destined to live the life I'm living, awful as it may be. 38 years later and in bad health, I'm conflicted as to whether I'm supposed to let life run its course to the end or if I'm "allowed" to take matters into my own hands, if you know what I mean. I'd prefer the latter, because I'm really tired and this is getting old. 🙂

One person brought up the Amityville Horror, a movie I had never seen but had vague recollections hearing about as a kid. He described it as a haunted house movie and said it was based on a true story. Intrigued, I decided to do research about it during my upcoming break. I learned it had to do with the real-life family member murders of Ronald DeFeo, Jr. who killed six members of his family on November 13, 1974. When I read that date, I was shocked. I looked at the clock on my computer and it was a few seconds after midnight and the date on my computer said "11/13/2004".

First a now married couple in the United States was both at Disney land separately with their own parents and siblings when they discovered that in pictures as children the couple were pictured together, only without knowing until they were married. Exactly like the Asian couple you showed, only this couple was from the u.s. and pictured as small children. Second, that three times ship wrecks have happened, in the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s, about 80 years apart, each time only one person survived. The person's name was Hugh Williams. They were no related, but still had the same name, and were sole survivors.

Around 1990, my employer in North Carolina sent me to New York City for meetings with an associated organization in midtown Manhattan. During a break, I chatted with one of their department heads, and mentioned my retired parents lived on an island on the NC coast. I was explaining where that was when he said "I know - my father was born there," and his parents had moved North in the 1930's for better opportunities. The next day he brought in an old family photo of a child's burial in 1915, in a family plot next to my father's place. The photo contains the only known image of one of my great-grandmothers, who, with several of the others, later took up residence in that plot. I'd heard that you can find anything in NYC... this confirmed it for me.

I photograph cemeteries and saw a monument I was fascinated by. James Allen McPherson he was an author and taught at the writer's workshop. Not two weeks later my friend asked me to meet her at the bar. She was talking to a guy and I was looking at my phone, when I heard him say, that he was Jim McPherson's class. When I pulled up the photos I had taken he was gobsmacked. He told me some great stories and passed along writing advice to me that JAM had given him. I have goosebumps just remembering the situation. I truly feel like I got advice for the beyond.

In the early 70's I was stationed in the 296th Army band in Japan. One night several of us were drinking in the barracks (it was the era of the military easing up many rules.) At one point Dan Fonstad, picked up his trombone and played taps. When he finished the lights went out in the building. We all had a huge laugh thinking someone else in the building -- hearing taps -- turned the lights off. However, when we looked outside the base was dark, the lights were out for the entire camp. A thunderstorm miles away struck a power station plunging the base into darkness exactly when Dan finished taps..

I was a photographer at a rap show in Atlanta and took pictures of an unknown rap group from the county. During editing I saw this guy in the photos that I’d met that night and thought was the most GORGEOUS man I’d ever seen. I asked around about him to see if anyone knew his name or when they would be preforming again. I had to see him. I never got his name and never saw him at another show. A year later I was in solitary confinement in a county jail and a very very cute guy with a shaved head brought my meals every day. He started putting letters wrapped in plastic in my food to talk to me. It was wild trying to communicate like that since we weren’t permitted to speak to one another. About a month into the stay I was handcuffed and led to the sally port going to court. In case I got released he put his ID bracelet in my uniform pocket to be able to remember his name and ID number and kissed me right there behind the guards backs. When I got to look at the bracelet my whole face fell off, in the photo he had long, longer than shoulder length dark hair and I recognized it was the guy from the photos at the rap show. In jail he had a shaved head. My powers of manifestation really truly brought us together in the worst way. Three years later, a year after he got out of prison we got married… smh life is wild…

She was chanting “earthquake, earthquake” trying to bounce me. I was annoyed that she was wrecking my bed and so I asked her to stop it. She kept it up and asked me why? I said if you keep it up you’re gonna cause an earthquake. I was new to California and was fearful. SURE ENOUGH moments later there was an earthquake!

Those who have studied mathematics, and many different fields of science can tell you that there are numerous coincidences that can occur in seemingly impossible circumstances. The human need for finding meaning in an otherwise random and meaningless universe can make these coincidences feel like the product of fate or some kind of cosmic influence. The fact that our existence is so random and completely out of our control is frightening to many people. The need for meaning in a meaningless universe leaves us feeling so inconsequential and small.. I think that is even more of a reason to cherish the miracle of our existence.

I was driving along (I may have been doing 5 over the speed limit) and I suddenly had an overwhelming feeling to slow down. I slowed to the actual speed limit. Not much farther up there road a car ran a stop sign to my left which ended at a T with my road and he crashed into a telephone pole. I stopped and rushed to see if he was ok. The roads were slick from rain and heavy fog. Just as I got to his door a cop car comes to a screeching halt and I realize with horror that this man was running from police. I run back to my car and get to the store and just sobbed. If I hadn't slowed down he would've hit me. I was lucky he didn't have a weapon. The second time was I was in my tiny 2002 Kia Rio with 3 friends and we were driving along a main road that have many cross streets that have stop signs but we had the right of way. That same feeling from the previous incident came over me again and so I slowed down. Minutes later a huge black pickup truck barrels through the stop sign to my right and just missed hitting us. Everyone in my car went silent for several minutes. Then everyone started freaking out. I told them of my previous experience and all our minds were blown simultaneously.

A few months ago, I was coming home from a medical appointment, and passed the last major shopping center before the turn into my neighborhood. Something in my brain yelled, “Cat litter! You need cat litter! They’ll hate you if you don’t change the cat litter!” So I pulled into the shopping plaza, and as I was searching for a parking spot, it occurred to me why it felt familiar: I had been here two days before, picking up cat litter-I just hadn’t taken it out of the trunk. I took another thoughtful lap or two, deciding whether I needed anything else from the Walmart, or some fast food from one of the franchises. Nope! So having wasted about six minutes of the early Nashville rush hour, I pulled back into traffic, disgusted to find that slow but flowing traffic had come to a near halt. I sat and inched while sirens swirled closer, and as I was waved around by an early first responder, saw that the wreck - a commercial van had t-boned a compact car, like my own - was in the lane and within a car length of where I would have made my turn. I certainly will never know whether that little car would have been me … but I am grateful my brain found a way to get me off the road.
