The world is filled with coincidences. They happen all around us and sometimes we fail to notice them. Some of the eerie coincidences throughout history have no explanation as to why they happened. Whether they happened for a reason or simply because of sheer luck, these crazy coincidences throughout history are the coolest. Here are 8 such incidents that will surely blow your mind.


1. ‘Jim Twins’: Twins who were separated at birth turned out to have the same life.

At the age of just 4 weeks, identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer, were separated and raised apart.In 1979, at the age of 39, both men were reunited and found out that they had some astonishing similarities in their lives. Even though the twins were adopted by different families, they both lived a mere 45 miles apart, both in Ohio.

Both the families had dogs that were named “Toy”. The creepy part does not end there. Both Jims were married twice; once to a woman named Linda and the second to women named Betty.The Jims also had children who shared the same name, as well as drove the same Chevrolet cars.

They both were appointed as sheriffs in different Ohio counties and had the habit of smoking. The Jim twins case have been used by many experts as a part of the nature vs. nurture debate and as evidence supporting telepathic connections between twins.

Wow

2. The Hoover dam: Father and son who worked on the Hoover dam, died on the same day, 14 years apart.

Built between 1931 and 1936, Hoover dam was named after President Herbert Hoover.

The dam is a major supplier for flood control, river regulation, and improved navigation. Until its completion, 96 people lost their lives from drowning, falling rocks or slides, falls from the canyon walls, accidents involving heavy equipment, etc.

On December 20, 1921, a man named John Gregory Tierney was among the crew surveying locations for the dam. Sadly, Tierney became the first casualty of the project when a flash flood swept him away, claiming his life.On December 20, 1935, 14 years after the first fatality, a worker named Patrick William Tierney fell to his death.

Patrick’s death was the last fatality recorded during the project. Also, Patrick William Tierney was J.G. Tierney’s only son, who died the same day as his father.

3. Mark Twain: Born shortly after the arrival of Halley’s comet, predicted that he would die when it returned– and he did.

Halley’s comet is a short-period comet that is visible to the naked eye from Earth. One of the most peculiar things about the comet is that it passes by Earth every 74–79 years. The last time it was seen was in 1986 and is next expected to appear in 2061.

Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1835, the same year that Halley’s comet appeared.

The American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer was quoted saying, “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and Iexpect to go out withit. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almightyhas said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.’”

Twain’s prediction became a reality since he died on April 21, 1910 at the age of 74; the same year Halley’s comet passed by Earth.

4. The taxi driver who killed two brothers riding the same moped, one year apart.

Among all the coincidenceslisted in this article, this one might be the hardest to believe.

The story surrounding two brothers, 17-year-old Erskine Lawrence Ebbin and Neville, is very much real and their story was documented by The Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph on July 21, 1975.

In Hamilton, Bermuda, 17-year-old Neville was riding a moped when he was hit by a taxi and killed. The taxi was carrying a passenger, who unfortunately had to witness the incident. One year after the incident, the same taxi driver was carrying the same passenger when it hit and claimed the life of another man.

The man was Neville's brother Ebbin, who was riding the same moped.

Can u imagine

5. Titanic: 14 years before the tragedy, a book predicted the Titanic disaster.

The story of Titanic is familiar with everyone thanks to James Cameron and his movie.

More than 1,500 perished on the fateful night of April 14, 1912. Even though there were several warnings informing them of ice at sea, the Titanic was travelling near her maximum speed when her lookouts sighted the iceberg.

What’s more creepy is the fact that a book written and published in 1918 by Morgan Robertson reflects the same story. The book titled “The Wreck of the Titan” was published 14 years prior to the Titanic disaster.

The ship in Morgan Robertson’s book was eerily named Titan and it hit an iceberg on the starboard side of the ship on an April night.

When the Titanic encountered the same fate as Morgan Robertson’s book, people started accusing him of clairvoyance.

Robertson denied any superficial powers involved in the creation of his book and he claimed that his story was purely based on his experience with maritime practices and shipbuilding.

6. Henry Ziegland and the haunted bullet.

In 1883, Henry Ziegland, a native of Texas walked out on his girlfriend. The woman, who couldn’t endure the pain of a broken heart, decided to take her life by committing suicide.

Upon learning the news of his sister’s death, her brother vowed to take Ziegland’s life. He managed to track Ziegland down and shot him; then turned the gun on himself.

However, Ziegland managed to escape, since the bullet only grazed his face and then lodged in a large tree behind him. He considered himself to be a lucky man and went on to live his life.

Years later, Ziegland decided to cut down the tree, which still had the bullet lodged in it. He wanted to finish the job with the least effort and so went on to use dynamite to blow up the tree.

Unlucky for him, the explosion dislodged the bullet and sent it straight towards Ziegland’s head, killing him instantly.

7. A Nebraska church exploded in 1950. No one was injured because every member of choir was coincidentally late in arriving.

The West Side Baptist Church in Beatrice, Nebraska always held their choir practice at 7:20 on Wednesday evenings. On Wednesday, March 1, 1950, there was an explosion in the church.

The explosion was so strong that it shattered windows in nearby homes and even caused a radio station to go off air. The fifteen members were always on time, except on that particular day. Two of the women were delayed by car trouble, while the minister, his wife and daughter were delayed since they needed a dress to be ironed at the last minute.

Others were late because of miscellaneous things such as waking up late from naps and so on.

Even though the church suffered severe damage, none of the 15 people had a scratch on them because of being late.

Wow!!!! really eerie.

[b]8. Edwin Booth: John Wilkes Booth’s brother saved Abraham Lincoln’s son.

[/b]John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865.

While you may be familiar with him and the story surrounding the incident, you may not know much about his brother, actor Edwin Booth. Less than a year before his brother assassinated the 16th President of the United States, Edwin saved the life of Lincoln’s eldest son.

In 1864, Lincoln’s eldest son Robert Todd Lincoln was travelling to Washington DC by train. As Robert was waiting on the train platform, he lost his footing and fell backwards onto the tracks.

Lucky for Robert, Edwin Booth was there to grab him by the collar and pull him back to safety. Robert recognized and thanked the famous actor.

All na fiction jawe
