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

Say Cheese...Went on holiday with a mate (see “They thought I was a sex offender” story) to a small resort in Corfu. One night in a bar got chatting to a nice couple who’d just arrived there. Turns out they’d been in Falaraki the week before and had moved up to this resort for a bit of peace and quiet. The girl had some photos of their first week on her digital camera and offered to show them to us. Now normally I’d rather barbeque a puppy than look at other people’s holiday snaps, but there really was bugger all to do in this resort, so I agreed to have a flick through. They of the school of photography of “And here’s me and Darren at the market. And here we are at the beach. This one’s just me on my own, Darren took it you see…” and so on, ad nauseum. The photos then changed to pictures of someone’s wedding.
“Oh, you don’t want to see those, they’re my friend Ann’s wedding last July, says the girl.
Except I *do* want to see them as I’d just spotted something in the background of one of the shots of the happy couple.
Me.
Yup, I’d been at the same wedding the year before and had managed to get into about 10 of the photos on this girl’s camera.
Well, I couldn’t have pictures of me turning up on random people’s cameras like that, so I killed her. Then ate her. (*)
(*) May be a lie added to spice up what is actually a really fucking dull (but otherwise true) story.
