Many times in life, weird things can happen. Sometimes, things are too bizarre and strange for it to be just pure coincidence . When they happen, we feel a bit off or strange, or even shocked. Things that happen in wild ways to us are stories we feel as have to share. Thanks to these kind strangers, we can believe in miracles.
A clock that only works once a year.
“My grandparents had a big old clock. My mom inherited it. It has never worked right, she had tried to get it fixed on several occasions. The only time it chimes is on my grandmother’s birthday.” – Bebinn

Woah!
“A meteorite, or some spacely thing, slammed next to me when I was 6 years old. I was alone in the yard after dusk, and a bright twinkle in the sky caught my eye. A second later something whooshed into the ground about 20 feet away and flashed on impact. It left a burned, bare spot in the grass less than a foot in diameter.” – Scrappy_Larue
Talk about a major coincidence.
One Reddit user said they got a call from someone who asked about their son, Sean, and their sister, Sasha. She didn’t recognize the voice but assumed it must be a distant relative who she forgot. Turns out, it was someone who called the wrong number and had a niece, whose son’s name was Sean and whose sister’s name was also Sasha.

Family ties.
“One time me and an uncle both happened to wake up, probably from sleep walking, but get up from bed, get dressed and drive into work… at 1am in the morning. We live 3 hours away. We both did the exact same thing at about the same time. Just so happened to be that later that week we were having my cousins birthday party (his daughter) and it came up in conversation with him.” – nrw28

They could be meant to be!
“Found a pic on my hard drive of a girl I had dated briefly a couple of years earlier when I lived on the west coast, I look at it then close it not thinking anything more of it.

This is heartbreaking.

“One time when I was a teen I prank called someone and pretended to be a Serbian pimp looking for my [expletive] Rita. The person on the other end started to speak Serbian. I froze for a minute, then replied, “No, no hablo… adios.” I don’t know how many people speak Serbian in San Antonio, but I still have their number memorized.” – jdrouts
Stranger things.
“Was driving on a 2-lane highway with my friend and an absolutely gigantic wolf/coyote/freakbeast of a dog darted out and actually ran into the side of the car in front of us, did a huge back flip, landed on its feet more or less and ran across the road, all in the matter of 2 seconds. We’re still not sure what the [expletive] even happened…”- RedBarnBurnBlue

Coincidence? I think not.
“Not really weird, but me and my dad walked into a Footlocker, some kid and his parents walk in behind us and the ant-theft sensors go off, my dad whispers to me jokingly ‘Maybe it’s the metal plate in his head.’
His parents look at each other and say ‘Maybe it’s the metal plate in his head.’ Laughs were had.” – Catsonlsd
A Ghost?
Reddit user CouldBeAn_Alien said that their little brother had passed away 3 months ago, and they had been staying home sick from school. They heard something in the living room and when they went to see what it was, they saw a toy car rolling around the living room that was their brother’s.
Same name, different guy.
“I was travelling around the country on my motorcycle one summer. Stopped in Nashville and went to check into the hostel. I walked in the door the same time as another guy, he checked in then went to his room. Next I checked in and the front desk guy was super confused because he said he just checked me in. We were both very confused until he realized that the guy in front of me had the exact same name as me.” – Brancher
Double birthdays!
“Girl I work with has the same birthday as me, which is not strange really, what is strange is that her spouse and my spouse have the same birthday as well and even work in the same industry. Was seriously the most surreal conversation I’ve ever had.”- Van_Gone
