Recently, more and more people live by the principle: "Everything depends on us, we ourselves build our destiny." A person who cannot overcome circumstances is considered a weakling.
Yes, people no longer believe in the intervention of higher powers, chance and coincidence. It’s just stupid to deny what has always been and will be.
Life is unpredictable, and sometimes fate throws up surprises that cannot be explained. Coincidences and accidents can be both happy and not very. Even if you are a realist, it may happen that your outlook on life changes. Perhaps this will not happen to you, but to close relatives or friends.
In the meantime, nothing extraordinary has happened in your life, read our article, and you can believe the impossible. Below are the 10 most incredible matches.
10. Double salvation
This story happened in the USA, in the city of Detroit. Joseph Figlok was walking along the street when suddenly a child fell on top of him. The man did not expect such a “gift”, so both were injured, but survived.
It turned out that the baby fell out of the window when left unattended. His mother was cooking dinner, and the one-year-old was alone in the room. A year later, the story repeated, Joseph again passed under the windows where this family lived.
The child again fell on the head of his savior. Amazing coincidence! The man saved the baby’s life twice, although he didn’t even try to help him. There was no third time. Probably because Joseph did not take risks and changed the route.
9. Bad day
Nobody has long believed in the forecasts of astrologers, but several centuries ago everything was completely different. At least the king of France Louis XVI listened to the opinion of his personal astrologer. And he did it right, but it still didn’t save him.
The astrologer predicted to the king that the 21st was a bad day for him. No matter what the year and month was, Louis followed the prediction; he did not plan anything important for this day. Unfortunately, this did not save him.
June 21, 1791 the king and his wife were arrested, the revolution began. On September 21, France was proclaimed a Republic. On January 21, 1793, the king was executed, his head was chopped off.
8. Roman Prediction
In 1898, Morgan Robertson's new novel, The Abyss, was released. The plot is based on the fate of the passengers of the Titan liner. It was the first voyage of the ship, and, you guessed it, the last. "Titan" collided with an iceberg, few survived. Too few boats were on the liner.
After 30 years, this story actually happened. The legendary Titanic sank and claimed many lives. Surprisingly, even the numbers coincided. Robertson must have had the gift of foresight. The book killed 3 thousand people, on a real airliner - 2207. The number of boats also differed slightly, on the Titan there were 24, on the Titanic - 20.
7. Poker
In this story, we will not talk about luck cards, but about an unusual coincidence. In 1858, player Robert Fallon won $ 600. Upset rival shot the "lucky", it seemed to him that Robert was playing dishonestly.
Oddly enough, the men continued to play. But nobody wanted to take the place of the murdered man. Then the players went outside and began to offer passersby to play poker. One young man agreed. As an initial bet, he was given the Fallon win.
Apparently, Robert's place was happy, the guy won about 2 thousand dollars. True, the police arrived who asked the young man to give Robert's winnings to his relatives. Then it turned out that the guy who took Fallon's place was his son.
6. The Story of Edgar Allan Poe
It seems that not only Morgan Robertson, but also Edgar Poe possessed the gift of foresight. Once he wrote a story about a shipwreck. 4 people survived, they ended up in the open sea without food and water on a small boat. When people were completely distraught from hunger, they decided to eat Richard Parker's young.
A few years later a similar story happened in reality. A boat was discovered with three passengers - victims of a shipwreck. Before there were 4, but hunger made them commit a terrible crime. Jung was also called Richard Parker. The most amazing thing in history is that none of these people have read Edgar Allan Poe's story.
5. Guardian angel
After this story, it is easy to believe that each person has his own guardian angel. The famous artist Joseph Aigner had great talent, but could not always control his condition.
Sometimes he was attacked by bouts of despair, the artist did not want to live. When he was 18, he decided to hang himself on the rafters of his parental home. Suddenly a monk appeared who convinced him not to do this. After 4 years, Joseph again wanted to commit suicide, but the monk managed to prevent the tragedy.
After 8 years, the artist was threatened by the gallows, he became a revolutionary. The monk intervened, Aigner was pardoned. When the artist turned 68, he all achieved what he wanted, the man shot himself. The monk took him on his last journey, it was he who buried Aigner.
4. Case at the hotel
This story can be considered quite ordinary, there is nothing extraordinary in it. Just a coincidence. Mr. George D. Brison did not have time to check into the room when the receptionist handed him a letter. The line to the addressee read: "Mr. Brison, 307 number." George was surprised, he did not tell anyone that he would stay at this hotel.
When the man read the letter, he realized that it was addressed to his namesake. Before, another Mr. Brison was renting a room; this letter was written for him.
