Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.
He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.
What spoooky* coincidences have you encountered?
* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

Prison!My Grandfather was in the RAF in his youth (as a rear gunner in the Lancasters, if you care), and after the war he was posted to Rhodesia.
Many years later, he's back in the UK and he's running his farm, and he's a member of the Rotary. One day, all the old boys go down to Chelmsford nick to play darts with the inmates. As they're being shown around, a huge, black arm shoots out of one of the cells, and grabs my Granddad.
Carnage ensues. Prison Warders go mental, my Granddad likely shits himself, and the prisoner lets go, and says:
"I know you."
To my Granddad. Who responds with a tactful:
"Not bloody likely!"
Turns out (to cut a long story short) that this huge great convict was a little boy in Rhodesia, and he used to clean my Granddad's boots for a penny a time (or whatever the equivalent is...)
I dunno if it's spoooky, but maybe straaange!
