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

Ooh, i actually have one!Whilst drinking in my local establishment (i say local, more like a 45 minute walk away, but it was the only non-scummy place in the area), a young lady came over to me. Now this is unusual in itself as i'm an ugly bastard, so i was a little confused already. I became worried when she said "Excuse me, is your name *my name*?". A little confused i confirm that her assumption was correct. At this point i'm a little worried: do i know her from school? Did i brutally murder her cat?
Things took a more creepy turn when she said "Is your mother's name *her name*?". Now at this point I was ready to report her as a stalker, but confirmed her second assumption. "You used to live in Gibraltar didn't you?" was her third comment. Now by this point I was dumbstruck, some of my closest friends don't even know I lived in Gibraltar, it's just not something i mention much (for no particular reason, i just don't feel the need to tell people).
At this point I believe she sensed my confusion and said "I think my dad was in the navy with your dad. He owns this pub".
Dear lord! Turns out i'd been drinking in an establishment owned by a good friend of my dad's for years and not known it! Turns out my dad didn't even know he still lived near us and was just as shocked as me.
I still don't get free beer from the place though.... bastards.
