A STORY OF TWINS!
Okay this may seem crazy, but hold on to your seats!
Twins from Ohio were seperated at birth and grew up without knowing of the other’s existence. However, call it fate or coincidence, their lives were way too similar to be true! For starters, they were both named James, married women called Linda, had sons called James Allen, dogs called Toy and also got divorced eventually. They remarried too. One guy married a lady called Betty. Guess what was the other one’s wife called?
SIMPOSONS KNEW IT!
This may leave a scar on many – But the Simpsons knew it all along. In true Simpson style, Trump stands on a podium which reads “America you can be my ex-wife” This meme would have triggered a lot of you, but do know that the comic series knew it all along, way before we voted!
MARY KELLY!
This is dark but interesting!
On the night of September 29th, 1888, at around 8:30pm, a lady was found drunk in Aldgate High Street, London. She was arrested and then released at 12:55 am. When she left she gave the police a fake name – Mary Kelly. This lady was actually called Catherine Eddowes. That night, she was stalked and murdered by serial killer Jack The Ripper. That night he also murdered another woman and you won’t believe what her name was! MARY KELLY!
TIME TRAVEL?
Edgar Allen Poe wrote the famed novel called he Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. In the book, a ship sets sail. Midway, the ship sinks and the 4 sailors are forced to eat a cabin boy called Richard Parker in order to survive. Back then, Poe claimed it was based on true incidents. Almost 50 years later, the plot did come true. Every single bit of it, including the haunting name – Richard Parker. Makes one wonder if Poe truly time traveled!
ESCAPED 2 PLANE CRASHES!
Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge may just be the luckiest man on earth. He has escaped not one but two devastating plane crashes. Remember the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? Well, moments before take off, he changed his flight. Everyone knows what happened to that flight right?
WORLD WAR I MYSTERY!
World War I started after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914. He was riding a car at the time with a number plate that read A III 118. You may say, So? Whats so shocking!? Now here’s the thing – WWI officially ended on Armistice Day, also known as 11th November 1918 – also written as 11/11/18
MISS UNSINKABLE!
This woman is perhaps the only woman on the planet who can be called this. Violet Jessup was onboard the HMS Olympic when it crashed with a Nantucket lightboat. She worked on RMS Titanic and in 1916 on HMHS Britannic. Both the ships sank but Jessup survived miraculously. Ofcourse she is called as Mrs. Unsinkable for a reason!
HALLEY’S COMET
Mark Twain, the famous writer, was quite a surprising man. One day, he predicted his death. He said “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835,” he said in 1909. For those who don’t know, the comet passes only once in 76 years. “It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.” The writer died on the very day of its appearance in 1910.
TOMB OF TAMERLANE!
On June 20, 1940, Soviet archaeologists uncovered the tomb of Tamerlane, which is in present day Uzbekistan. Tamerlane saw himself as the heir of Genghis Khan. On the tomb was a warning sign – “Whomsoever opens my tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I.”. Clearly the archaeologists were not superstitious. Exactly 3 days later, Adolf Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, the largest military invasion of all time, upon the Soviet Union.
WHAT IS THIS COINCIDENCE!
On August 14, 1988, the founder of Ferrari – Enzo Ferrari, died. A month later, on October 15th Arsenal footballer Mesut Özil was born. One glance over their photos is enough to tell you that they are way too similar. While the families claim this is just a mere coincidence and not anything genetically related, it is sure spooky!
