In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young careless mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother's baby fell from a high window onto Figlock. The baby's fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck on its own, but a year later, the very same baby fell from the very same window onto Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath. And again, they both survived the event

When Norman Mailer began his novel Barbary Shore, there was no plan to have a Russian spy as a character. As he worked on it, he introduced a Russian spy in the U.S. as a minor character. As the work progressed, the spy became the dominant character in the novel. After the novel was completed, the U.S. Immigration Service arrested a man who lived just one floor above Mailer in the same apartment building. He was Colonel Rudolf Abel, alleged to be the top Russian spy working in the U.S. at that time.

Mark Twain was born on the day of the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835, and died on the day of its next appearance in 1910. He himself predicted this in 1909, when he said: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it".

In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man's bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver - and even carrying the very same passenger

When King Louis XVI of France was a child, he was warned by an astrologer to always be on his guard on the 21st day of each month. Louis ws so terrified by this that he never did business on this day. Unfortunately Louis was not always on his guard. On June 21st 1791, following the French revolution, Louis and his queen were arrested in Varennes, whist trying to escape France. On September 21st 1791, France abolished the institution of Royalty and proclaimed itself a republic. Finally on January 21st 1793, King Louis XVI was executed by guillotine.

Back in the eighties my wife and I set off together from our home in Wistow.
She was going to see friends in north Leeds, and I on business to Harrogate. She was just behind me as she left the A1 and I carried on to Harrogate. Approximately three hours later I was heading down the A1, and she came down the slip road and tucked in behind me! No amount of trying to construct that event could ever have been possible! |

"Two cabin crew swapped shifts so they would not be on the doomed Malaysian airliner downed by a missile in eastern Ukraine, after raising concerns about the safety of flying over the war zone.
Other senior pilots and cabin crew had flagged up fears about the flightpath in the weeks leading up to the tragedy." |

Back in 1985 my friend & I bumped into two girls coming out of a lift at our hotel in Rimini, after a few words & a brief apology we went our separate ways, two years later the same friend & I were on a skiing holiday & my friend who was the world's worst skier fell over most spectacularly at the bottom of a run, two girls standing close by were in stitches, I am very good at faces & remembered them straight away, when I said "bumped into anyone in a lift in Rimini lately " the look on their faces, if only I had my camera on me.

In the 1960s a friend of mine was on a photo Safari in Africa. He and his colleagues saw a tiger with its claw stuck in a trap. They cautiously approached it. The tiger seemed to know these people were trying to help it. They prised the trap open, the tiger gently sauntered away.
5 years later almost to the day he was on another photo safari with another group. They saw another tiger. As they cautiously approached it, my friend seemed to recognise the tiger. The tiger turned round and appeared to recognise him. They approached each other as if to greet one another. Of course it was a different tiger and my friend got eaten. No coincidence there unfortunately! |

Three or four years ago, Mrs Gin and I drove to Birmingham (from Bristol) to see the Specials at the O2. We drove up early so we could grab a bite to eat before the gig.
We wandered around for a while and came across a Pizza Express and decided that to go there for some food. After sitting down and ordering some drinks, I turned around to see my brother and his missus sitting there! They had travelled from Wiltshire to attend a completely different show on the same day and had also decided on the same restaurant for something to eat! freaky! |
