Some times in life weird things happen and sometimes the things that happen are current a series of events that seems like a pattern that we like to call coincidence. But the coincidences that you and i have seen in our lives are nothing compare to the insanely freaky coincidences that have gone down in the past. So this week, i gathered the most astonishing ones to share with you.
Here they are the 10 freakiest Coincidences in History
1. The Futility Of the Titanic
In 1898, right when Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called futility was described as the Median voyage of a luxury Ship called the Titan that sinks. The book was published just 14 years before the titanic sank and the similarity between the book and the actual event is mind bugling. In the book, the titan was called Unsinkable so was the Titanic. Both ships were British owned vessels around 800 ft long and both hit an iceberg and sink. In the book the titan sank at Midnight in April 400 miles from Newfoundland. The Titanic sink at Midnight on April 14, 1912 400 miles from Newfoundland . The titan had 3000 passengers and not enough life jackets while the titanic had 2207 passengers and well you get the idea.
2. The King's Double
In the year 1900 in Italy, king Umberto I went to a small restaurant for dinner. The king immediately recognized the restaurant owner because he was his exact double both in face and build. After talking, the man discovered even more similarities, they were both born at March 14, 1844. They were both born in the same town, they both married a woman name Margarita and the owner opened a restaurant in the exact same day Umberto was crowned king of Italy. If that wasn't enough, on July 29 that year the owner of the restaurant was shot and shortly after so was King Umberto. That's really crazy.
3. The Ohio-Space Connection
There is a really odd connection between the space of Ohio and space/flight. In 1903, the wright brothers demonstrated the world's first functioning airplane from Ohio. The first American ever shot into space was John Glenn whose from Ohio. Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon guess where he is from Mars, No -Ohio. In fact a total of 25 Astronaut have come from that state so many that NASA actually has a page dedicated to them. Well if you wanna be an astronaut you know where to go. I'm serious they will accept any one. John Glenn was dangerously unqualified when they accepted him. It seems like all you need is your ID to say Ohio and you're in.
4. King Louis' Bad Day
Around 1760, when king Louis XVI was a child He was born by an astrologist to always be on guard on the 21st day of each month. What followed was bizarre. On June 21st of 1791, he and his queen was both arrested following the French revolution. On September 21st of 1791, France abolished the institution of royalty and proclaimed itself a republic. And Finally, on January 21st of 1793 King Louis XVI was executed by Guillotine.
5. The Cannibalized Boy
In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe released his own novel called the Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. The story is about four men that survived a ship wreck on a stormy sea are forced to kill and eat a boy called Richard Parker. The disturbing coincidence is that 46 years later, there was a ship called the Meghan Hart that was ship wreck with only 4 survivors and well you can see this is going. In order to survive the 3 men were forced to kill and eat the 4th survivor who is a boy named Richard Parker.
While fighting in Flanders field in 1918, there was a flash of lightening and Major Summerford was knocked out of his horse and paralyzed from his waist down. Only six years later in 1924, he retired and moved and moved to Vancouver where one day he was fishing and lightening struck directly beside him paralyzing his entire right side. Miraculously, despite all that just 2 years later, he fully recovered and was able to work again until 4 years after that he was directly shot by lightening permanently paralyzing him. I should also mention that four years after his death lightening struck his tombstone destroying it.
6. The Unlucky Major SummerFord
7. Twin Boys With Twin Lives
In 1940, two identical twins were separated at birth and adopted by different families. Unknown to each other, both family named each boy James. Without knowing each other both boys grew up pursuing a job in law enforcement, they both had skills in carpentry, they both married a woman named Linda, they both had boys they each named James Allan, they both got divorced and remarried to a woman named Betty and they both had a dog named Toy. This was all discovered when they reunited 39 years later, in 1979.
8. The Lee Family Curse
Bruce Lee died in 1973 following the production of what has become his final movie 'Game of Dead'. The Movie was based around an actor that gets shot after a prop gun accidentally goes up. What's creepy is that, exactly 20 years later in 1993 , his son Brandon Lee was shot and killed when a prop gun accidentally went up while shooting the movie 'the Crow'. If that wasn't creepy enough, Brandon Lee death occurred just 2 months before the release of Dragon and the Bruce Lee story which is a movie about a demon that battles Bruce Lee and then goes after his son. This story is just all round unfortunate, not just for the Lee family but also for the prop guy that was responsible for the gun.
9. The Mysterious Monk
Joseph Aigner was a well known painter in the 19th century who was unhappy with life. Because of this, at the age of 18 he attempted to kill himself but he was interrupted by a mysterious Capuchin monk that he did not know. When he turned 22, he again attempted to suicide only to be again interrupted by the same monk. When he turned 68, he was finally successful in ending his own life but surprisingly the funeral was conducted by (you guessed it) the same mysterious Capuchin monk.
10. Left-Handed Presidents
There is weird pattern that exist right now related to American presidents. More than half of the last 14 US presidents have been left-handed. Not impress? but what if i say over the past 2 decades, almost every single presidents/candidates have been left-handed. In 1992, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Ross Perot all left-handed. And yes the current president of the United State of America Barack Obama is left-handed. If you still don't think it's a coincidence, keep in mind that only about 12% of men globally are left-handed so this pattern statistically is incredible. May be left-handed people are just naturally superior and smarter than the rest of us. Ohh never mind.
