20. The Ultimate Photobomb
There are plenty of cool photobombs out there, but this story of fate accidentally captured on film has got to be the craziest yet.

18. Freaky Fingers
We can inherit all kinds of weird things from our parents but who knew it could go quite as far as this horror story. An anonymous poster took to reddit to share a freaky coincidence which began when their father had the tip of his index finger cut off as a child. To the posters distress the very same finger on their hand stopped growing at the same length, resulting in an abnormally stubby finger smaller than a pinky… thanks dad!
17. A Message from the Matrix
Who said coincidences couldn’t be self-aware? In this image, someone shares the uncanny way newspapers had been stacked at work so that the only visible sentence reads “this is not a coincidence” over and over.
16. Lucky Numbers
Coincidences don’t always have to be creepy as this incredibly lucky couple from Canada have learned after becoming third-time lottery winners. Barbara and Douglas Fink from Edmonton first won big in 1989 when they split C$128,000 between themselves and four friends, and to their surprise, they repeated this feat in 2010 scoring another C$100,000.
15. The Unsinkable Woman
Whether this woman is extremely lucky, or a walking bad omen is totally up to you. Violet Jessop had survived a nasty case of tuberculosis as a baby, but little did she know she was about to become one of the most seemingly indestructible women of all time.
14. Lucky Escape
Luck and coincidences often go hand-in-hand, but just how often is good fortune really at play? There’s definitely some force at work in this image, which shows a car narrowly avoiding being crushed by not one but two fallen trees in the wake of a storm.

13. A Historic Moment
A true coincidence makes you think “what are the odds?” and the following image definitely encapsulates that feeling as two cars with personalized license plates are photographed at a red-light joining forces to convey an age-old classic: “peekaboo” & “I see U”.

Moving can be tiresome and renovating can be a truly momentous task, but all that stress was worth it for some new homeowners who made a hilarious discovery.

10. Professor Marvel’s Coat

9. Christmas Crash
This unbelievably spooky coincidence happened at the jolliest time of year as sisters Levinia and Lorriane from Norfolk, England were driving home on Christmas eve of 1994 when they were involved in a crash.
This wasn’t any old car accident, though, as the sisters had crashed into each other – and they hadn’t even been aware of each other’s separate journeys.8. Identical Lives
Coincidences involving family members are so common that it's hard to deny the inexplainable connection between close relatives.

Fossils can teach us a lot about the past, but what about this insane discovery? In the most meta twist, one lucky person stumbled upon an infamous Nokia brick fossilised inside an actual brick, as if we needed any more proof that these things are actually indestructible.
6. The Simpsons Prophecy
It’s no secret that The Simpsons has been accused of prophesizing all sorts of current affairs in vintage episodes. Most notably, Twitter users noticed that the show predicted the rise of Trump as president in some pretty uncanny ways.

1. Bill Morgan
At first, Bill Morgan might seem like an incredibly unlucky guy. This Australian truck driver was involved in a brutal collision which almost killed him, declaring him clinically dead for 14 minutes.
