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

Poor little foxMany years ago when I lived in deepest, darkest Devon my brother and I were driving back home after a night out. On the side of the road we saw a little baby fox that was obviously injured. Being the caring souls that we were, we stopped and decided that we would take it home to see if we could help it.
When we got home we didn't think it would make it through the night so we went and woke up the local vet. He was a grunpy bastard at the best of times and was very pissed off at being woken up at 2 in the morning.
The fox was in the boot of my car and the vet told us that all he could do was put it down (probably because he wanted to go back to bed). The first injection he gave the fox; nothing. It was still breathing. He gave it another and, again, the little thing wouldn't die. The vet then gave the fox a third injection and at the exact moment the fox stopped breathing, the light in the boot of my car went "pop" and went out. 1 minute later it came back on. Very spoooky indeed!
We didn't really know what to do with it after that so threw it over a hedge. What else do you do with a little dead fox in the middle of the night?
