A coincidence along those lines? My husband is one of three boys. First boy, dark blonde hair, blue eyes. second (hubby) Dark brown hair, brown eyes. Both of them are very like parents. Third one? Green eyes, red hair. They joked it was the milkman's kid. One day, there was a huge snowfall and milkman was really late....flaming red hair.

They stopped making that joke.

Both parents have a long ago relative on each side -- think great grandparent or great grand uncle, who had red hair...but grandmas had to remember. Took a while and one of those family dinners.

He also looks remarkably like me and has similar tastes with regard to cold vs. hot (impervious to cold) and likes exotic foods.
You didn't know that children inherit traits such as hair color from their parents?

I always thought that was divine or coincidence.

Well, she said that her home is in both Santa Cruz and New Orleans, whatever that means. So she must have been living in Santa Cruz when she went to see the band in San Francisco. It is still too weird.

Years ago I bought life insurance from my uncle, an agent for a major company. Several years later I moved to a different town and got a new agent who shared my birthday...date and year. Later, in the same town, I bought a different policy from a different agent...who had the same birthday, but not the same year. My wife's birthday was the same exact date as my sister-in-law, born on the same day in the same state they ended up marrying brothers.


More recently I was visiting a strange city and went into a local pub and sat at the bar. A young guy was sitting next to me reading a book I had just read. We struck up a conversation and discovered we were reading the same books over the last few years. The more we talked the more it became clear that his life was almost an echo of mine. We lived 1000 miles apart but he was doing much the same work as I did at his age...both in government service. There were a lot of similarities. He was about to get married and he and his wife were going to move to another town halfway across the state...same thing with me and my wife thirty years before. The more we talked it seemed like I was talking to my younger self. It was actually somewhat creepy. I wanted to tell him not to worry-- that it would all work out OK but didn't.

In August 1972 I attended a camp in Roscoe, New York. I was 15. A girl who was about to turn 13 was walking around singing Circle Game by Joni Mitchell which, by coincidence, I was also singing (complete with my lousy voice). A day or two later, same story, with Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. We still talk on Facebook. I am happily married. She is divorced.

Here's my story...

I am a firm believer in the super natural. Life After death, reincarnation...all that type of stuff. Anyway...in my mid 30's (now early 40's) I had a huge urge to learn about it more. So I read books on life after death and reincarnation. I wanted to know who I was in a past life and where I lived. So I started to look online for local experts on the subject. I found a psychic's site that seem interesting. I went thru it and read the reviews users said about this psychic. All were good, not one bad review.

So I put that site to the side and kept on looking for other possible candidates. I found a few that seemed good, but I always ended up going to the original one.

So I ended up calling her just to feel her out. She told me who she was and what she did. She was located about 45 minutes north of my town.

So she started to tell me that I had psychic abilities and that I need to work on them to develop them. Ever since I was a young child I was always interested in that and felt I had the ability, but never really tried hard to develop it. She also told me that people with my same abilities always seems to get a big urge to develop those skills around the mid-30's. I was a bit skeptical but had an open mind. She also started to tell me a few minor things. She said she can feel\see my Aura and said it was healthy and strong. So then I asked her. "How is that possible over the phone?." She said she's very sensitive to many things.

She then continued to tell me about a past life. She never told who I was, but she told me the era and that I was a commander to a famous Roman Politician many Centuries ago. I didn't know what to think and started to think she was BS'ing me. So I asked her..."How do I know you're telling me the truth?" She then went to say to me. At this moment do you feel any pain or discomfort on your body? I asked her, 'Why do you ask?" She then went to tell me that I have a pain on my left side down by my waist. I stood silent for a few seconds.

What she said was true...for the last 2 weeks prior to me calling her, I had a pain on my left side by my waist area and went down to my groin. I had went to the doctor and a specialist to check me out because sometimes the pain was very uncomfortable. They found nothing and gave me a clean bill of health. I got X-Rays and nothing was found.

So when she told me that, she felt and knew I had a pain at the exact place I did over the phone, pretty much sealed the deal for me.

She told me she would wait for me if I do decide to go and see her. I never did go to see her as I was a bit spooked out.

I have been searching for this lady online to-date and can't find her. I would like to go see her now.

Oh...btw...the pain went away on it's own and never came back.

Well ,l've got two things here but the first just did another thread about.
l've been cutting the deck of cards my since my 20s , once or twice a wk or so , sometimes once a yr , depends what's going on and they're usually spot on about things happening.
Well, for 2 yrs now , l've been getting hearts hearts hearts,
After my divorce , there was nothing for 2yrs, exactly as life was, total crap, depression , nothing.
Then the hearts started coming and a mth or two later l met gf.but it's the way they came and still are. Ace of hearts even landed on my chest and heart when l fumbled the deck in bed one night.Drop a card , hearts or ace of hearts, gumble , ace of hearts flies out, or 9.
It actually started with the 9 of hearts which went on for 18mths and right through with gf but even though we've now split up it's progressed up to the queen and then the ace and the ace has been coming non stop nearly every cut lately.
Sometimes l''ll cut the deck 5 or 10 times over a few days or even one day, just to check if it keeps coming and l've had the ace of hearts 9 times l think it was in a row, one day. The ace or the 9 , for nearly 2yrs now.
Well, they're still coming , every cut. but the thing is gf and l split up and l can;t see a way back for us, about 2mths ago, but the hearts are still coming.
So lf they weren't about her then what , l saw my ex w coming , but they weren't as strong as this. Very weird bc life is total crap right now.

Anyway m the next is actually about that gf,
l've had some weird things in life but stuff with her was literally spooky.
1st , we met in a forum. But 2mths before we even spoke, l saw her name among 100 others , it just jumped out. Never seen it before that.
There was something but without actually following her in the forum , l jst brought up her name most days for 2mths, even took pictures of it. l got the bizarrest vibe from it.
There was probably 3,000 other women in that forum but this one, weird.
2mths later l found some threads and read her stuff, l related immediately and started talking a bit in her threads and then l email her.
It was all instant with us and it turned out she even showed me pictures she took of my name , about a wk after the first one l took of hers. She was staring at mine to for that 2mths.
The only problem was she was on the other side of the world but we got involved and use to talk or skype or kik or all , mostly all day everyday for 18mths.
The thing is , the weird things that happened. 100s of them.
like l'd walk into the house , sit down on the couch , gran the phone and put it on my lap ready , and she'd call.
l'd wake up at 4am, and she'd text, these little things happened with me and her too 100s of times.
but we had all these idiosyncrasies by the 100s too , we'd both write some weird one of word , to the letter , at the exact same time , 100s of times.
She'd know what l was thinking through the day, when we hadn't even spoken yet, at the very minute, in great detail , and l knew all this stuff about her.
she asked me 100 times , how did you know, how can you possibly know that, well l have no clue , l just did. it;s never happened before.
And her me , she knew things, lots of weird things, things ll hadn;t even told anyone.
And while she was staring at my name for two mths before l emailed her, she kept seeing angles and hearts, everywhere, and Australian signs, my name on a car plate right beside her at the lights, 100s of things , weird werid stuff from us both we'd never had with anyone.
As well as the craziest thoughts or things in common , or ideals, toatl one of crazy stuff , , 100s of them.
it really was all the freakiest thing that's ever happened to me. And l've had some weird sh@t in life , but nothing like this. There was too much to even skim the surface with here. These are only a few little things l can remember of the top of my head really or with out going on for another 10 pages.

The only thing that doesn't add up now is that what was it all about , why did such a bizarre thing happen with someone when we've really only had to split up now after all anyway.
She couldn't move here, l couldn't move there l've got my daughter and in the end we'd basically just given up and split. 2mths now.

I have a little habit of collecting whatever older coins that i notice on occasion in my pocket change. I was waiting at a local business and decided to see what year the quarters were that had just been handed to me. The oldest one was 1967 so i took it in the other hand. As i looked at it, i gazed past my hand to the floor and there was another quarter someone apparently dropped. I picked it up looked at the year it was another 1967 quarter. Nothing landmark but a strange coincidence none-the-less to find two quarters of the same here in that manner.

I had a one night stand while in London in 2003 with a mature lady that was almost 20 years my senior. 7 years later I had a another one night stand in the same hotel with her fraternal twin and eventually found out through Facebook.
