- Alex and Donna Voutsinas were captured in a photo together as children, 15 years before they met. They also lived in different countries when the pic was taken in 1980.

^ That's Donna, as a little girl on the far right. It's Alex in the stroller being pushed by his father behind them.









- Walter Summerford was struck by lightning 3 times in his life. 4 years after his death his gravestone was also struck by lightning.







- In 1864 Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Lincoln, was saved from death by a stranger when the man grabbed Robert by the shirt collar moments before he plunged onto train tracks below. The stranger was Edwin Booth, a Shakespearean actor at the time. Robert recognized the famous actor and sent him a letter thanking him for saving his life. Less than a year later, Edwin's brother John Wilkes Booth shot Robert's father, Abraham Lincoln.







- If you rearrange the letters in "The meaning of life" it can turn into "The engine of a film" or "The fine game of nil."

Had to google the Voutsinas, that's pretty nuts.

You're probably well aware of this one Strickland but it still blows my mind.

From Cracked.com:

Martial-arts legend and enemy-to-shirts-everywhere Bruce Lee might now be as famous for his "cursed" family as he was for punching people while screaming. We've written before about how his final movie coincidentally predicted the freak accident that would kill his own son Brandon two decades later. To recap: Lee's character in the movie is killed when a real gun is substituted for a prop gun, causing him to get shot for real. Lee's son would later be killed when a prop gun misfired on the set of The Crow -- not exactly a common cause of death in the modern world. But the more you learn about the Lee "curse," the freakier it gets.

His constant mirror-breaking wasn't doing his family any favors either.

First, Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940 during the Year and the Hour of the Dragon. This might explain why Bruce's full Chinese name translates to "Lee's Little Dragon"; however, his parents always insisted on calling him Sai Fon (Small Phoenix), which is technically a girl's name. What seems at first like a dick move on the part of his parents to emasculate baby Bruce was actually a common defensive technique against demons in Chinese culture. Bruce's wife Linda wrote in her biography, The Bruce Lee Story: "Mr. and Mrs. Lee had lost their first son, and according to Chinese tradition when future sons are born, they are often addressed by a girl's name in order to confuse the spirits who might steal away their souls." Why do we bring all of this up? Well ...

Where it Gets Really Weird:

Linda Lee approved the making of a movie about Bruce Lee's life entitled Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Throughout the movie, Bruce battles a metaphorical demon that haunts his family, but during a final confrontation, the monster loses interest in fighting Bruce and instead goes after his son Brandon.


OK, you say, it's kind of tasteless that they would actually make a movie that included Brandon's real-life tragic death (and to blame it on a demon, no less), but what's so spooky about it? Well, that's the thing: Brandon was still alive and well when they shot the movie. The whole "Lee family demon is coming for Brandon next" was written and shot before he had his freak accident.

I met my ex wife on the exact day the "unreasonable bitch" was perfected.
If only I'd known.

Here is a strange coincidence, also known as a sychronicity when it goes beyond coincidence. Edgar Allan Poe wrote a story called The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. The story was about four survivors of a shipwreck on a stormy sea. They have no food or water so after days of starvation they kill and eat the cabin boy who was named Richard Parker. A few years after the release of the book a real shipwreck happened and there were 4 survivors and they killed and ate the cabin boy, who was named Richard Parker. Also, in the book Life of Pi, which was also made into a movie, the tiger on the lifeboat was named Richard Parker.

Hell of a post, brother! I did know about that but only because I was such a Bruce Lee fanatic growing up. Did you also know that at Bruce's house in Hong Kong they had some sort of mirror on the door of the house to ward off evil spirits. Apparently the mirror had been there for many years. A monsoon came and blew the mirror off the door, and the next day Bruce died.

Not sure how true that is, but I remember hearing about it and it's definitely spooky.

That's not much of a debunk. I swear it's like some people, like the writer of that page and like yourself, just rush and reach to debunk the fuck out of everything. Do the fucking numbers of the speed of light land you at the pyramid? YES. Than fucking STOP rushing to debunk shit on the THIRD FUCKING POST of my thread and just let the damn thread be fun! for fucks sake.

Never saw @Kick Strickland get so fired up before

My apologies, but most people are too easily convinced by things that sound like they might be true, and this is an example of stretching to make a fit.
But I'll quietly let the rest of whatever nonsense "facts" gets posted go without comment.
I'm just saying this kind of shit is part of why people are so misinformed.

Yah, I feel badly now.

THIRD FUCKING POST in the thread and people gotta post stupid shit like that. Did you read that debunk link? I did. "oh well the last 5 digits are irrelavant, and you gotta add a decimal point to input coordinates, and it has to be in meters to match...." blah blah fucking blah. The same digits put you on the damn pyramid. That's all I give a shit about. Some people need to know when to just enjoy shit and have fun.

Pisses me off.

No, it's not.
I completely admit to getting my skeptic hackles up, out of place, and it was a dick move on my part.
I sincerely apologize.

I don't think it's eerie, but it's a neat coincidence that in our sky, the moon is about the same apparent size as the Sun, and that's why we can have total solar eclipses.

This is a personal one - happened to my father in law


My father-in-law had a really close relationship with his dad, he was a WW2 pilot in the British RAF and lived until the ripe old age of 90-something. When he passed it fractured his relationship with his siblings because his father left all his money/estate to my father-in-law as my father-in-laws dad believed he had earned it.

So anyways - like 5 years or more later my father-in-law and his siblings finally get back to speaking terms, and it is realized that after the funeral it was apparent that someone had taken the ashes and urn, but no one in his family could remember who it was that took them - my father-in-law felt guilty for years because he could never properly honor his dads wishes to have his ashes spread at an airfield.

So it had been like 10 years since his grandpa had passed and one christmas my father-in-law decides to take out his dads dogtags and pass them around and show them, tell his old war-tales of his fathers and shit...then he passed them to this one lady, a family friend who they knew for years.

she touches the dogtags and immediately looks at my father-in-law and says " Thrillhouse-father-in-law....your fathers ashes are at your sisters house...they are up high and covered by something."
my father-in-law is taken aback and like "oh...k?"
so naturally my father-in-law tells his sister to look in her house up high because thats where the ashes are

sure enough a couple months later his sister calls him and says, "Thrillhouse'-father-in-law....i found them....they were up high...and covered with a blanket...next to a box of all our dads war photos"

my father-in-law then went back to the lady and was like "my sister found them....how did you know? or what made you say that?"
and she says, "i touched the dogtags and your father spoke to me and said, Thrillhouse'-father-in-law stop worrying, my ashes are here"

James Dean's cursed Porsche, Little Bastard.

In September 1955, James Dean was killed in a horrific car accident whilst he was driving his Porsche sports car. After the crash the car was seen as very unlucky.
a) When the car was towed away from accident scene and taken to a garage, the engine slipped out and fell onto a mechanic, shattering both of his legs.
b) Eventually the engine was bought by a doctor, who put it into his racing car and was killed shortly afterwards, during a race. Another racing driver, in the same race, was killed in his car, which had James Dean's driveshaft fitted to it.
c) When James Dean's Porsche was later repaired, the garage it was in was destroyed by fire.
d) Later the car was displayed in Sacramento, but it fell off it's mount and broke a teenager's hip.
e) In Oregon, the trailer that the car was mounted on slipped from it's towbar and smashed through the front of a shop.
f) Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel supports.
