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

My DadHe is South African but has been out of the country since the age of 20. Living in Thailand, England and now Mauritius.
About 3/4 years ago whilst we were still in Milton Keynes, England my Dad saw an ad for a South African food store near us. Eager to go buy some SA delicacies we set off unexpecting such an amazing coincidence.
So we buy our food and go to pay for it. Casually my Dad starts a conversation with the man behind the till. Old guy about 53 with no hair. He was Southa African (obviously) so my Dad asked him where he was from in SA. Durban he said. Cool, cool Durban was where he was from. What part of Durban. Umbillo. This was pretty cool, Umbillo was probably the size of a large village/town but was still quite a coincidence.
Then my Dad asked what road he used to live on. Turns out the guy lived a max of 50 yards from my Dad growing up, and my Dad had been best friends with his brother till he died in a motorcycling accident.
This guy has become our closest family friend and our whole family loves him. We can all trust him for anything and he's such a wonderful person.
So from a small road in Umbillo, Durban, South Africa to a small new city in England. The world is a small place.
Length, yeah.
