Interesting. I had a remarkable coincidence happen to me. When I was 14 I spent a few weeks in Mississippi visiting family. I met a girl and was just crazy about her. I left and we wrote each other letters for about a year. When I was 17 I was driving home from my after school job and I picked up a hitchhiker—here in Washington state. We started talking and I asked him where he was from. “Mississippi” he says. “Oh I know a girl in Vicksburg” I say. He tells me he’s from Vicksburg and asks me her name. When I told him his jaw went wide open. “That’s my sister!” I took him to my house and kept him overnight. We called Kim and spoke a while. I gave him another ride the next day to the bus. I lived way out of town in the country. 3000miles and 3 years apart. Quite a coincidence he was there that night, and even stranger that I picked him up. It was the seventies though.

That is crazy! It’s amazing when probability takes a nosedive. It’s incredible the number of things that have to line up for something like that to happen.
Stuff like that happens to me also, so much so that I started researching it. I wrote an article about it. You might like it. It has some trippy stuff.

I’ll check it out. I had another similar thing happen. I was winter backpacking/snowshoeing cross country in a place I had never been. I actually freaked a little when I saw another person. It was a kid that used to be in my troop from about 15 years prior. He was a fat kid back in the day, always hated hiking…and there he was. We had a nice chat and off he went. Pretty cool.

Man that’s insane!
I had one once where I went to a friends wedding in louisiana. We go 2 hours out of our way to a house in a swamp to meet one of the older relatives of the wife who doesn’t go out anywhere.
We are walking up to the only house for miles and someone on the porch called out my name.
It ended up being someone from my Navy days (years ago) who was on my Aircraft Carrier. He was just in the area driving through and stopped to visit another person at the house that day.
These things happen.

Wow! It would be interesting to see this in the big picture. I did see a girl one time that is my twin (I know right) but I was at the mall in Utah visiting my brother. We looked at each other and it was super perplexing/uncomfortable for both of us. She was the female version of me, and i the male version of her. Identical opposites. I wish now i hadn’t been so stunned and found out about who she was. That would be interesting.

The twin thing is crazy. I know people in my family who keep mistaking strangers for people they recognize.
It was the catalyst for my whole series. I wanted to see if it was happening to others.

It happens so much that a lady made a business out of finding your twin.

Honestly, if we were to stop and think about it, we all could come up with a similar scenario.
– Yes, even I could tell about a time, far from home (several states away), very early in the morning (3 am), meeting someone I know (my next door neighbor).

We could but it wouldn’t be anywhere as interesting as this.
Except for that time I saved that martian who’s hybrid child killed Kennedy.

Kennedy would have gone on to do great things – if that martian/hybrid hadn’t done that. 😔
