Golden Coincidence And A Message From Grandpa

Kayla sent me these two coincidence stories. Thank you Kayla.

I have two coincidences that I thought I would share with you after reading the majority of the ones on your website.

Saved in the gold mine
The first incident occurred almost 17 years ago when I was just a baby but my Mom told me about it.

My Dad works at a gold mine in the pit. In case you have never seen one it is basically a deep hole in the shape of an oval with shelf like roads stacked from top to bottom for both stability and machinery movement purposes.

My Dad was working a shovel which is used primarily to clean up the roads and moving large rocks that could be hazardous to workers. He was working on one of the shelves when my Mom called him. He told her he would call her back in five minutes - which would give him time to get to safe area where he wouldn't be in the way of other equipment.

When my Dad was safely able to call my Mom back and talk to her he heard over the radio that a shelf had just collapsed. This was the area that mere minutes ago he was just at.

Had my Dad been there for just a couple more minutes it would have been a sure death. My Mom said that she just had an overwhelming desire to talk to him and says she is so thankful she did.

My second coincidence occurred very recently, only a month or so ago.

The same message received from Grandpa
It was about a week before Thanksgiving and we received a call from my Grandma who told us that my Grandpa had passed away. I was instantly in tears and it took me a good while to calm down. When I finally did my Mom and I started talking and reminiscing. She mentioned that it was odd because when she was 19, a week before Thanksgiving, her Grandpa passed away. I was 19 as well.

I kind of thought it was odd and didn't really think anything of it, actually I kind of chuckled and said, "Well thanks for that tradition."

It really got eerie a week later. I had this dream in which I was talking to my Grandma. All of a sudden my Grandpa's ghost was standing there and I talked to him. My Grandma thought I was crazy because she couldn't see him and thought I was talking to myself. Right before I woke up my Grandpa said to me, "It will be alright."

When my Mom got home from work that night I told her about the dream and she just looked at me like I was crazy. Turns out a week after her Grandpa died she had that exact same dream, and her Grandpa told her the exact same thing.

Uni Supermarket Naughty Photos Coincidence

A short coincidence today from someone with the unlikely name of Anon!

"As a uni student I worked at the local supermarket part time. A new colleague came in and told me he had just moved into a new flat over the weekend and found some naughty photos of me in a cupboard!

It turned out that a uni friend had moved out of the flat and had left a few photos, including some of me, in a cupboard. The embarrassment!

I thought this to be quite a coincidence."

Lost Wallet At Heathrow Terminal 5 Coincidence

A coincidence story today from Harry about losing his wallet in London's Heathrow Terminal 5.

"I arrived late on a flight into London Heathrow's Terminal 5. As my mobile wasn't working I made my way over to the nearest pay phone to call my wife. To make the call I used a pre-paid phone card which I kept in my wallet.

I spoke to my wife and told her what time I would arrive home and then headed for the Gent's toilets, leaving my wallet in the phone booth.

I suddenly realised what I had done and rushed back to the phone booth, but there was no wallet to be seen. I started to panic a little as this held my credit and debit cards, cash and other important documents.

I wasn't too sure what to do and started walking around looking for a Lost and Found section or perhaps someone who could help me. Terminal 5 is usually very busy. I noticed a smart looking woman in a business suit and, for some unknown reason, picked on her to see if she knew if there was a lost and found desk.

She looked strangely at me and asked what the problem was and I told her about my wallet being lost. She asked what it looked like and I straight away told her without thinking as to why she would have asked this.

She opened her bag and said, "Is this it?"

I couldn't believe I had asked the person who had actually found my wallet out of all of the hundreds of people milling about. After I had verified it was mine, by giving her my name and descriptions of what was inside, she returned the wallet to me.

I offered to buy her a coffee or a drink and she said a coffee would be fine, if I would buy her a bun as well! We talked and I found out that she knows my wife's sister. It seems to be a small world at times."

Atlantic City Police Solved A Crime By Coincidences

A bike valued at $500 was stolen from the beach block of Elberon Avenue, Atlantic City. The unnamed owner of the bike says it was taken from her garage. Luckily she was able to catch the culprit on her home surveillance video.

First coincidence: The Atlantic City police officer investigating the theft immediately recognised the culprit on the video. He was 48 year old John Turnure.

Turnure was taken into custody.

Second coincidence: While transporting the suspect the police officer noticed a man sitting on a bike, which was very similar to the one stolen. He investigated and questioned the man who identified Turnure as the person who sold him the bike.

The bike was returned to the rightful owner. Crime solved with the help of two coincidences!

A Premonition Or A Coincidence

Today's coincidence story from Jake is perhaps more of a premonition story or maybe some would say a message from a Guardian Angel. But, whatever, Jake arrived home safely.

"I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but it happened last week when I was in my car.

I was driving my normal route home from work on a wet evening and I had a feeling that I should go a different way. I decided to take some side roads instead of the main A road that I usually take.

When I got home my wife said she had been worried about me because she had just heard on the local radio that there had been a bad accident on the A road I would normally have taken.

Was it a coincidence that I had this feeling and went a different way and missed the accident? I don't know."

Milky Way Galaxy The Path Of The Souls

The following coincidence story, from Al, made me smile!

"I still can't get my head around this coincidence.

I was reading a book while I waited for my partner, Kim, to join me to watch a DVD we had been lent. The book was called The Sky and this is the sentence I read .. 'A milky trail to the heavens, the Milky Way galaxy is the path that souls. follow to the land of the dead.'

Kim came in with some chocolates and asked, 'What do you want a Milky Way or some Galaxy?'

For a couple of seconds I felt quite bewildered!"

126 Coincidence Got Tom A New Woman Friend

A coincidence story from Tom. Were the car number plates a sign of something to come?

"I'm called Tom and two months ago, when coming home from work, I saw two car registration plates which began with TOM. One of them I remembered the number as well: TOM 126.

That night my work mate asked me if I could give him a lift to pick up his young son, who was at a friend's house. My mate had problems with his car.

I went with him to the road as directed and said, "What number?"

He said, "126, Tom."

I parked outside and he went into the house to collect his son, but then waved for me to come in as well. The woman of the house made us a coffee. She was very attractive and I'm now going out with her!!

Was the number plate a sign I wonder?"

Penny's 1962 Penny Coincidence Story

A shortish coincidence example or story from Penny:

"I was born in 1962 and today as I was walking to do some shopping I stopped to pick up an old penny that was laying on the pavement. I noticed that the year of the penny was 1962 and I'm called Penny!

I was standing still while looking at the coin as a neighbour walked past me and said, 'A penny for your thoughts,' which was about right."

Was Michael Jackson A 3000 Year Old Egyptian

This coincidence has been around for a while but there are no doubt many who haven't seen it.

The photos above and right are of a 3000 year old limestone Egyptian bust.

But, who does this remind you of? The slightly disfigured nose, the wide eyes etc.

Yes, of course, it's Michael Jackson.

The limestone bust has been on display and one museum worker said, "The similarity between the limestone statue – which is about 3,000 years old - and Michael Jackson is astounding."

Don't think there are any known connection between Egypt and Michael but:

King Tut's DNA Reasons of Death were published - Feb 16, 2010 and
Michael Jackson's Autopsy Results were published - Feb 16, 2010

Maybe Michael Jackson was a man from another age. But, there again, probably most of us are!

A Muddle Of Names Coincidence

Today's story is all about the coincidence of names and comes from Alan S - as you'll see his name is part of the coincidence.

"I was walking home from the my new girlfriend's house early on Saturday morning. Unfortunately I had to go to work later that morning. It only usually takes me about 20 minutes but I met an old friend, Wayne T, I used to know from school and we got talking about different things. I hadn't seen him for about five years.

He told me all about his ex and the sordid details of how they had split up. He then said her name was Jenny P.

I told him my new girlfriend is also called Jenny P.

Fortunately, from the story he had told me, they were different girls but with the same name.

When I finally I got home I rang my Jenny. We talked away and I asked her about her ex. "You mean Wayne T?" she said.

This got me worried but it turned out that Wayne T definitely wasn't the same one that I had met earlier in the day. The names were just coincidences.

There was also one more coincidence. As I continued talking to Jenny she told me that her sister had phoned her and she had a new boyfriend called Alan S, which happens to be my name!!"
