3 in 1992 French artist Rene Charbonneau, commissioned by the city hall of Rouen, painted the painting \u2018 Joan of Arc at the stake. His model was a young student, Jeanne Lenois. However, the next day after the canvas was hung in the spacious exhibition hall, reagents exploded in a university laboratory. Zhanna, who was there, could not get out of the room and burned alive. Much was written about one significant coincidence. In 1944, on the eve of the landing of the Allied troops in Normandy, an interesting crossword puzzle was published in the Daily Telegraph newspaper. It included code names for the secret operation. Such as, for example, “Neptune”, “Utah”, “Omaha” and even the main designation is \u2018 Jupiter". The investigation into the case of \u2018 information leak" was carried out for a long time by army counterintelligence, which, no matter how hard it tried, could not detect any malice. The creator of the crossword puzzle turned out to be an old man school teacher, puzzled by his result no less than the inspectors themselves.

4 no less mysterious story happened to American astronaut Neil Armstrong.
In 1969, as soon as he stepped on the surface of the moon, he said: “I wish you success, Mr. Gorski.” The specialists from the mission control center could not understand what kind of Mr. Gorski the astronaut remembered. Returning to earth, Armstrong said that once, as a child, he, playing hide and seek with his peers, ran into the yard of his neighbors, whose last name was Gorski. Through open window the screams of the quarreling spouses could be heard. “Impotent lousy,” Mrs. Gorski screamed. - it’s easier for the neighbor boy to fly to the moon than for you to satisfy a woman: when Armstrong actually flew to the moon, a remark he heard in childhood suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he, shocked by the incredible coincidence, unexpectedly uttered a phrase that seemed absurd at first glance .

5 in 1896, second-rate science fiction writer Morgan Robertson published in London the novel “The Death of the Titan” about the first and last voyage of the largest passenger ship, which died in a collision with an iceberg. The fictional “Titan” and the real “Titanic”, which died in April 1912 , coincided appearance and ship characteristics, number of passengers and even the number of victims. The book "Titan" also died in April 1912...

These coincidences are so incredible that they could not have occurred to any science fiction writer. Science fiction writers simply would not dare to write such a thing, for fear of being reproached for its defiant implausibility. Only life itself has the right to intertwine the threads of human destinies so intricately. No one would dare accuse her of lying.

Actor Anthony Hopkins received main role in the film "Girls from Petrovka". But not a single bookstore in London could find the book on which the script was written. And on the way home on the subway, he saw on a bench this particular book, forgotten by someone, with notes in the margins. After about a year and a half of filming, Hopkins met the author of the novel, who complained that he had sent his author’s copy with notes in the margins to the director, but he had lost it on the subway...

A dogfight from the past

The famous writer Mark Twain was born in 1835, on the day when Halley's Comet flew near the Earth and died in 1910 on the day of its next appearance near the Earth's orbit. The writer foresaw and himself predicted his death back in 1909: “I came into this world together with the American writer Ann Parrish, who was on vacation in Paris at that time, and came across her favorite children’s book in a second-hand bookstore - “Jack Frost and Other Stories.” Anne bought the book and showed it to her husband, talking about how she loved the book as a child. The husband took the book from Ann, opened it and found title page caption: "Ann Parrish, 209N Webber Street, Colorado Springs." It was the same book that once belonged to Anne herself!

King Umberto I of Italy once stopped at a small restaurant in Monza to have lunch. The owner of the establishment respectfully accepted the order from His Majesty. Looking at the owner of the restaurant, the king suddenly realized that in front of him was his exact copy. The owner of the restaurant both in face and physique strongly resembled His Majesty. The men got to talking and discovered other similarities: both the king and the owner of the restaurant were born on the same day and year (March 14, 1844). They were born in the same city. Both are married to women named Margarita. The owner of the restaurant opened his establishment on the day of the coronation of Umberto I. But the coincidences did not end there. In 1900, King Umberto was informed that the owner of a restaurant where the king liked to visit from time to time had died in a gunshot accident. Before the king had time to express his condolences, he himself was shot by an anarchist from the crowd surrounding the carriage.

Inexplicable miracles have been happening in one of the supermarkets in Cheshire for 5 years now. As soon as the cashier sits at the cash register at number 15, within a few weeks she becomes pregnant. Everything is repeated with enviable consistency, the result is 24 pregnant women. 30 children born. After several control experiments that ended “successfully”, during which the researchers placed volunteers at the cash register, no scientific conclusions followed.

Famous American actor Charles Coghlan, who died in 1899, was buried not in his homeland, but in the city of Galveston (Texas), where death accidentally found a touring troupe. A year later, a hurricane of unprecedented force hit this city, washing away several streets and a cemetery. The sealed coffin with Coghlen's body floated at least 6,000 km in the Atlantic for 9 years, until finally the current brought it to shore right in front of the house where he was born on Prince Edward Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

A tragicomic incident recently occurred in Sofia. Thief Milko Stoyanov, having successfully robbed the apartment of a wealthy citizen and carefully put the “trophies” in a backpack, decided to quickly go down the drainpipe from the window overlooking a deserted street. When Milko was at the second floor level, police whistles were heard. Confused, he let go of the pipe and flew down. Just then, some guy was walking along the sidewalk, and Milko fell right on top of him. The police arrived and handcuffed both of them and took them to the station. It turned out that the guy Milko fell on was a burglar who, after many unsuccessful attempts, was finally tracked down. Interestingly, the second thief was also named Milko Stoyanov.

Can it be explained by coincidence? tragic fate American presidents elected in a year that ends in zero?

Lincoln (1860), Garfield (1880), McKinley (1900), Kennedy (1960) were assassinated, Harrison (1840) died of pneumonia, Roosevelt (1940) of polio, Harding (1920) suffered a severe heart attack. An assassination attempt was also made on Reagan (1980).

Last call

Can the documented episode be considered an accident: Pope Paul VI’s favorite alarm clock, which regularly rang at 6 a.m. for 55 years, suddenly went off at 9 p.m., when the pope died...

These coincidences are so incredible that they are hard to believe. Nevertheless, life intricately interweaves the threads of human destinies.

Letter with prophecy

Writer Evgeny Petrov had a strange and rare hobby - all his life he collected envelopes from his own letters. This is how he did it: he sent a letter to some country. He made up everything except the name of the state: the city, the street, the house number, the name of the addressee, so after a month and a half the envelope was returned to Petrov, but already decorated with multi-colored foreign stamps, the main one of which was “The addressee is incorrect.”

In April 1939, the writer decided to disturb the New Zealand Post Office. He came up with a town called "Hydebirdville", a street called "Wrightbeach", house "7" and the addressee "Merilla Ogin Wasley". In the letter itself, Petrov wrote in English: “Dear Merrill! Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Pete. Brace yourself, old man. Sorry I haven't written for a long time. I hope Ingrid is okay. Kiss your daughter for me. She's probably quite big already. Yours Evgeniy.”

More than two months passed, but the letter with the appropriate note was not returned. Deciding that it was lost, Evgeny Petrov began to forget about it. But then August came, and he waited for a reply letter. At first, Petrov decided that someone was playing a joke on him in his own spirit. But when he read the return address, he was no longer in the mood for jokes. On the envelope was written: "New Zealand, Hydebirdville, Wrightbeach, 7, Merrill Augin Wasley."

And all this was confirmed by the blue stamp “New Zealand, Hydebirdville Post Office”. The text of the letter read: “Dear Evgeniy! Thank you for your condolences. The ridiculous death of Uncle Pete threw us off track for six months. I hope you will forgive the delay in writing. Ingrid and I often remember those two days that you were with us. Gloria is very big and will go to 2nd grade in the fall. She still keeps the teddy bear that you brought her from Russia.”

Petrov had never been to New Zealand, so he was amazed when he saw in the photograph a powerfully built man hugging himself, Petrov. On the back of the photo was written: “October 9, 1938.” Here the writer almost felt bad - after all, it was on that day that he was admitted to the hospital in an unconscious state with severe pneumonia. Then, for several days, doctors fought for his life, not hiding from his family that he had almost no chance of survival.

To sort out these either misunderstandings or mysticism, Petrov wrote another letter to New Zealand, but did not wait for an answer, since the second one began world war. From the first days of the war, E. Petrov became a war correspondent for Pravda and Informburo. His colleagues did not recognize him - he became withdrawn, thoughtful, and stopped joking altogether.

In 1942, the plane he was flying on to the combat area disappeared, most likely shot down over enemy territory. And on the day the news of the plane’s disappearance was received, a letter from Merrill Wasley arrived at Petrov’s Moscow address. Wasley admired the courage Soviet people and expressed concern for the life of Evgeniy himself.

In particular, he wrote: “I was scared when you started swimming in the lake. The water was very cold. But you said you were destined to crash on a plane, not drown. I ask you to be careful and fly as little as possible.”

Forgotten script

Actor Anthony Hopkins got the main role in the film “Girls from Petrovka”. But not a single bookstore in London could find the book on which the script was written. And on the way home on the subway, he saw on a bench this particular book, forgotten by someone, with notes in the margins. A year and a half later, on the set, Hopkins met the author of the novel, who complained that he had sent his last copy with notes in the margins to the director, but he had lost it on the subway.

Out of the blue

In the 30s of the last century, Joseph Figlock, a resident of Detroit, walked down the street, and, as they say, did not bother anyone. Suddenly from the window multi-storey building literally, a one-year-old child fell on Joseph’s head. Both participants in the incident escaped with minor fright. Later it turned out that the young and careless mother simply forgot to close the window, and the curious child climbed onto the windowsill and, instead of dying, ended up in the hands of her stunned, involuntary savior.

Miracle, you say? What would you call what happened exactly a year later? Joseph was walking down the street, not bothering anyone, and suddenly the same child fell on his head from the window of a multi-story building. Both participants in the incident again escaped with slight fright. What is this? Miracle? Coincidence?

Greetings from the Moon

When American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the Moon, the first thing he said was: “I wish you success, Mr. Gorski!” This is what the phrase meant. As a child, Armstrong accidentally overheard a neighbor quarrel - married couple with the last name Gorski. Mrs. Gorski scolded her husband: “The neighbor boy would sooner fly to the moon than you satisfy a woman!” And here you are, coincidence! Neil actually went to the moon!

Prophetic song

Once, Marcello Mastroianni, in the midst of a noisy, friendly feast, sang the old song “The house where I was so happy burned down.” Before he could finish singing the verse, he was informed about a fire in his mansion.

In 1966, four-year-old Roger Losier nearly drowned in the sea near the American city of Salem. Luckily, he was saved by a woman named Alice Blaze. In 1974, Roger, who was already 12, returned the favor - at the same place he saved a drowning man who turned out to be Alice Blaze's husband.

Sinister book

In 1898, writer Morgan Robertson, in his novel Futility, described the death of the giant ship Titan after colliding with an iceberg on its maiden voyage. In 1912, 14 years later, Great Britain launched the Titanic, and in the luggage of one passenger (of course, completely by accident) was the book “Futility” about the death of the Titan.

Everything written in the book came to life, literally all the details of the disaster coincided: an unimaginable hype was raised in the press around both ships even before going to sea due to their enormous size. Both supposedly unsinkable ships hit the icy mountain in April with a host of celebrities on board. And in both cases, the accident very quickly escalated into a catastrophe due to the captain’s carelessness and lack of life-saving equipment. The book “Futility” with detailed description the ship sank with him.

Sinister Book 2

On an April night in 1935, seaman William Reeves stood watch at the bow of the English steamship Titanian, bound for Canada. It was deep midnight, Reeves, impressed by the novel Futility he had just read, suddenly realized that there were shocking similarities between the Titanic disaster and the fictional event.

Then the thought flashed through the sailor’s mind that his ship was currently crossing the ocean where both the Titan and the Titanic had found their eternal rest. Then Reeves remembered that his birthday was the same exact date The Titanic sank on April 14, 1912. At this thought, the sailor was seized with indescribable horror. It seemed to him that fate was preparing something unexpected for him.

Strongly impressed, Reeves sounded a danger signal, and the steamship's engines immediately stopped. The crew members ran out onto the deck: everyone wanted to know the reason for such a sudden stop. Imagine the amazement of the sailors when they saw an iceberg emerging from the darkness of the night and stopping right in front of the ship.

Sinister Book 3

Edgar Poe wrote a gruesome story about how shipwrecked and food-deprived sailors ate a cabin boy named Richard Parker. In 1884, the horror story came to life. The schooner "Lace" was wrecked, and the sailors, maddened by hunger, devoured the cabin boy, whose name was Richard Parker.

Deja vu

On December 5, 1664, a passenger ship sank off the coast of Wales. All crew members and passengers were killed except one. The lucky guy's name was Hugh Williams. More than a century later, on December 5, 1785, another ship was wrecked at the same place. Once again, a single man named Hugh Williams survived. In 1860, again on the fifth of December, a fishing schooner sank here. Only one fisherman survived. And his name was Hugh Williams.

You can't escape fate

Louis XVI was predicted to die on the 21st. On the 21st of every month, the frightened king sat locked in his bedroom, did not receive anyone, and did not assign any business. But the precautions were in vain! On June 21, 1791, Louis and his wife Marie Antoinette were arrested. On September 21, 1792, a republic was proclaimed in France and royal power was abolished. And on January 21, 1793, Louis XVI was executed.

Opportunity to give back

A resident of Texas, USA, Allan Folby had an accident and damaged an artery in his leg. He would probably have died from loss of blood if Alfred Smith had not passed by, bandaged the victim and called an ambulance. Five years later, Folby witnessed a car accident: the driver of the crashed car lay unconscious, with a severed artery in his leg. It was Alfred Smith.

Let the car die

Famous actor James Dean died in a terrible car accident in September 1955. His sports car remained intact, but soon after the actor’s death, some kind of evil fate began to haunt the car and everyone who touched it.

Judge for yourself: shortly after the accident, the car was taken away from the scene. At that moment, when the car was brought into the garage, its engine mysteriously fell out of the body, crushing the mechanic’s legs. The motor was purchased by a certain doctor who placed it in his car. He soon died during a racing event. James Dean's car was later repaired, but the garage where it was being repaired burned down.

The car was exhibited as a tourist attraction in Sacramento when it fell off a podium and crushed the hip of a passing teenager. To top it all off, in 1959 the car mysteriously (and completely independently) fell apart into 11 parts.

Henry Siegland was sure that he was able to cheat fate around his finger. In 1883, he broke up with his lover, who, unable to bear the separation, committed suicide. The girl's brother, beside himself with grief, grabbed a gun, tried to kill Henry, and, deciding that the bullet had reached its target, shot himself.

However, Henry survived: the bullet only slightly grazed his face and entered the tree trunk. A few years later, Henry decided to cut down the ill-fated tree, but the trunk was too large and the task seemed impossible. Then Siegland decided to blow up the tree with several sticks of dynamite. From the explosion, the bullet, which was still sitting in the tree trunk, broke free and hit... right in Henry's head, killing him on the spot.

Stories about twins are always impressive, and especially this story about two twin brothers from Ohio. Their parents died when the babies were only a few weeks old. They were adopted different families and separated the twins in infancy. This is where a series of incredible coincidences begin.

To begin with, both adoptive families, without consulting or suspecting each other's plans, named the boys the same name - James. The brothers grew up unaware of each other's existence, but both received legal education, both were excellent draftsmen and carpenters, both married women with the same name Linda.

Each of the brothers had sons. One brother named his son James Alan, and the second - James Allan. Then both brothers left their wives and remarried women...with the same name Betty! Each of them was the owner of a dog named Toy... we could go on and on. At the age of 40, they learned about each other, met and were amazed that during the entire forced separation they lived one life for two.

One destiny

In 2002, septuagenarian twin brothers died within an hour of each other in two unrelated traffic accidents on the same highway in northern Finland! Police representatives claim that there have been no accidents on this section of the road for a long time, so the report of two accidents on the same day, an hour apart, was already a shock to them, and when it turned out that the victims were twin brothers, police officers could not explain what happened nothing more than an incredible coincidence.

Unpleasant meeting

In 1858, poker player Robert Fallon was shot by a losing opponent who claimed that Robert was a cheater and had won $600 by cheating. Fallon's place at the table became vacant, the winnings remained lying nearby, and none of the players wanted to take the “unlucky seat.” However, the game had to be continued, and the rivals, after consulting, left the saloon onto the street and soon returned with a young man who happened to be passing by. The newcomer was seated at the table and given $600 (Robert's winnings) as his opening bet.

The police arriving at the crime scene discovered that the recent murderers were playing poker with passion, and the winner was...a newcomer who managed to turn a $600 initial bet into a winnings of $2,200! Having understood the situation and arrested the main suspects in the murder of Robert Fallon, the police ordered the transfer of $600 won by the deceased to his closest relative, who turned out to be the same successful young gambler who had not seen his father for more than seven years.

In 1973, in Bermuda, a taxi hit two brothers who were driving along the road in violation of the rules. The blow was not strong, the brothers recovered, and the lesson did not benefit them. Exactly 2 years later, on the same street on the same moped, they were again hit by a taxi. The police established that in both cases the same passenger was traveling in the taxi, but completely ruled out any version of a deliberate hit-and-run.

In 1920, American writer Ann Parrish, who was on vacation in Paris at the time, came across her favorite children's book, Jack Frost and Other Stories, in a used bookstore. Anne bought the book and showed it to her husband, talking about how she loved the book as a child. The husband took the book from Ann, opened it and found on the title page the inscription: “Ann Parrish, 209 N, Webber Street, Colorado Springs.” It was the same book that once belonged to Anne herself.

British officer Major Summerford, during a battle in the Flanders region in February 1918, was knocked from his horse by a flash of lightning and paralyzed from the waist down. Summerford was discharged from the army. He soon moved to Vancouver. One day in 1924 he was fishing on the river when lightning struck the tree under which he was sitting and paralyzed the entire right side his body. Two years later, Summerford had recovered enough to take a walk in the park. He was walking there one day in the summer of 1930 when lightning struck him, paralyzing him forever. He died two years later. But lightning found him in last time. Four years later, during a storm, lightning struck the cemetery and destroyed the tombstone. Who was buried there? Major Summerford.

The plot of Morgan Robertson's 1898 novel Futility was strikingly similar to the fate of the Titanic. The book described a fictional ocean liner named Titan that ultimately collided with icebergs on a calm April night en route to New York. Many details in the book were strangely similar to the Titanic tragedy.

In 1920, American writer Ann Parrish, who was on vacation in Paris at the time, came across her favorite children's book, Jack Frost and Other Stories, in a used bookstore.

Residents of a Scottish village watched the film “Around the World in 80 Days” at the local cinema. At the moment when the movie characters sat down in the balloon basket and cut the rope, a strange crack was heard. It turned out that he fell on the roof of the cinema... exactly the same as in the cinema, balloon. This happened in 1965...
