“Mind-Blowing Coincidences: 24 Stories That Will Make You Question Fate!”
Not mine, but my friend’s story. Her cousin moved to Japan and noticed that someone in their building had the same last name (looking at the apartment buzzers or mailboxes or wtv). It’s a relatively unusual Moroccan Jewish last name, and obviously they’re in Tokyo so that’s pretty weird to begin with to see a non-Japanese name let alone the exact SAME name.
So they knock on the door and are like “Hi… this is weird but I’m you’re neighbour and we have the same last name… are we possibly related?” and it turns out the neighbour was a branch of their family that had gotten “lost” – nobody knew what had happened to them. It’s a MASSIVE family with literally hundreds of cousins in the same generation, and this particular bit of the family had just gotten lost in the mix. The parents would have known these people’s parents, and so everyone got back in touch and they got reconnected with the whole rest of their family! I thought that was crazy… what are the odds?
My wife and I backpacked around Vietnam for three weeks. One place we stayed in had a television so while I was waiting for my wife to get ready to go out one night I flicked on the TV to see what Vietnamese viewing was like. We could only get reception on a few channels and since the other two were Vietnamese talk shows I left it on a program that was doing current affairs in English. It was a strange mixture of footage from Australian programs so I recognised the presenter from TV back home.
I had the TV on for about five minutes while I waited and was about to switch it off when I looked up and saw my brother on the screen. The network was showing a program from Australia about marriage and it included couples showing excerpts of their wedding videos. My brother officiated at the wedding of one couple and so he was clearly visible on the screen for about ten seconds.
