Strange Coincidences

[CAJ1]

A few years back I saw a fatal road accident and was first on the scene. I remember the song that was playing in the car at the time it happened, it was Stereophonics Handbags and Gladrags.

Today I got into work at 9am, got sorted and turned on the radio, the Stereophonics song was playing, I remember because every time it plays I think of the guy who died. It must have been about 9.10am.

I heard on the news tonight that a woman had been in an accident on the very same bit of road as the accident I witnessed. she had died at the scene at 9.10am which was the time I heard the same song playing.

Not reading in to it but its a bit of a coincidence! What strange coincidences have you experienced?

The unexpected disapearence of some crisps on a plate that I hadn't eaten and the appearence of snags.

It is weird how, when something happens which affects us, we become more aware of it. If (say) someone is diagnosed with an illness, suddenly you hear of lots more people who have the same condition.

The human brain is geared up to look for patterns I think so that probbaly goes some way to explaining it.

I find those sort of coincidences all the time CD,

Several years ago I went into hospital for an operation, my father came to visit and collapsed on my bed with and angina attack, he was taken to another part of the hospital. He requested "One day at a time sweet Jesus" to be played on the hospital radio for me. Twenty years later he went into hospital and I visited him, he was sleeping when I left him with my Mum at his bedside. On the way home they played the same song on the car radio it was just after 5pm. I knew that it was for me, and that he had passed away, just after 5pm.

Years ago I was on holiday in Canada and had this overwhelming need to ring my mum. So I rang her and she said "oh Ju, I was just wishing you'd ring".

I think they can be comforting ayg.

Thats true, you never really pay attention to things until something happens like that and then you put it all together. There's probably loads of coincidences that go un-noticed!

Thats strange askyourgran!

I feel a bit spooked at the moment because every time I seem to look at the clock it is 11.11 whether morning or night!!

Not quite on the same level but on my way to work yesterday morning I was thinking about how the MotoGP starts this weekend and in particular was thinking about one of the riders, Valentino Rossi. As I was thinking about it, a song came on the radio and in the background of it was a guy just singing the name Valentino. It was a bit odd.

Has your clock stopped pips? lol ;-)

That is a bit odd Milly!

[pips1]

haha no my clock hasn't stopped, it just seems to be happening a lot lately and I'm wondering if this time is going to be significant in any way - hopefully not in a bad way!

Its strange when that happens, I find if I wake up during the night, I wake up on following nights at exactly the same time. Hopefully it will be something good for you :)
