A novel that unsuspectedly described the spy next door

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. (Source: Science Digest)

Joseph Figlock was walking down a Detroit street in the 1930s, minding his own business, when a baby fell from a fourth floor window straight onto his head. A year later, the same child fell from the same window, again landing on Figlock. Luckily, in both cases, Figlock and the infant survived their unexpected meetings.
This one is more than a coincidence.

Dandsome:
A pair of twins separated at birth went on to live remarkably similar lives.

Both were given the name James by their adoptive parents. Both grew up to become a police officer and marry a woman named Linda. Both gave their sons the same name (spelled slightly differently): James Allan and James Alan. Both men’s families had a dog named Toy. And both divorced their first wife and then married a woman named Betty.
Like seriously
