Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate.
In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide.
The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him.
The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life.
But Ziegland had not been killed.
The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree.
Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man.
Some years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it.
The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite.
The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

The stories of identical twins' nearly identical lives are often astonishing, but perhaps none more so than those of identical twins born in Ohio.
The twin boys were separated at birth, being adopted by different families.
Unknown to each other, both families named the boys James.
And here the coincidences just begin.
Both James grew up not even knowing of the other, yet both sought law-enforcement training,
both had abilities in mechanical drawing and carpentry, and each had married women named Linda.
They both had sons whom one named James Alan and the other named James Allan.
The twin brothers also divorced their wives and married other women - both named Betty.
And they both owned dogs which they named Toy.
Forty years after their childhood separation, the two men were reunited to share their amazingly similar lives.

Mark Twain was born in 1835 (November 30 1835) on the day of the appearance of Halley's Comet (1835.August),
and died on (April 21, 1910) the day of its next appearance in 1910. (1910.April.20)
It reached perihelion on April 20. Twain died the next day.
He himself predicted this in 1909, when he said:
"I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835.
It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it."
Christmas night 1758, 1835.08, 1910.04.20 Cyanide gas in its tail, 1986.
This event is not remarkable at all, and the odds were very high that this would happen, given the condition of a birth year in a Halley year,
and a normal human life expectancy. And besides that, Mark Twain was NOT born during Halley's commet. His birth was several months off.

James Dean's car curse
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) In 1959, the car mysteriously broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel supports.
A falling baby, saved twice by the same man
In Detroit sometime in the 1930s,
a young (if incredibly careless) mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock.
As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother's baby fell from a high window onto Figlock.
The baby's fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed.
A stroke of luck on its own, but a year later,
the very same baby fell from the very same window onto poor,
unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath.
And again, they both survived the event.

Just like Edgar Allan Poe's book...
In the 19th century, the famous horror writer, Egdar Allan Poe, wrote a book called 'The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym'.
It was about four survivors of a shipwreck who were in an open boat for many days before they decided to kill and eat the cabin boy whose name was Richard Parker.
Some years later, in 1884, the yawl, Mignonette, foundered, with only four survivors, who were in an open boat for many days.
Eventully the three senior members of the crew, killed and ate the cabin boy.
The name of the cabin boy was Richard Parker.
Twin brothers, killed on the same road, two hours apart
On 2002, Seventy-year-old twin brothers have died within hours of one another after separate accidents
on the same road in northern Finland.
The first of the twins died when he was hit by a lorry while riding his bike in Raahe,
600 kilometres north of the capital, Helsinki.
He died just 1.5km from the spot where his brother was killed.
Both riding a bike and both crossing highway 8.
"This is simply a historic coincidence.
Although the road is a busy one, accidents don't occur every day,"
police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala told Reuters.
"It made my hair stand on end when I heard the two were brothers, and identical twins at that.
It came to mind that perhaps someone from upstairs had a say in this," she said.

Poker winnings, to the unsuspected son
In 1858, Robert Fallon was shot dead, an act of vengeance by those with whom he was playing poker.
Fallon, they claimed, had won the $600 pot through cheating.
With Fallon's seat empty and none of the other players willing to take the now-unlucky $600,
they found a new player to take Fallon's place and staked him with the dead man's $600.
By the time the police had arrived to investigate the killing,
the new player had turned the $600 into $2,200 in winnings.
The police demanded the original $600 to pass on to Fallon's next of kin
- only to discover that the new player turned out to be Fallon's son,
who had not seen his father in seven years!

A novel that unsuspectedly described the spy next door
When Norman Mailer began his novel Barbary Shore,
there was no plan to have a Russian spy as a character.
As he worked on it, he introduced a Russian spy in the U.S. as a minor character.
As the work progressed, the spy became the dominant character in the novel.
After the novel was completed, the U.S. Immigration Service arrested a man who lived just one floor above Mailer in the same apartment building.
He was Colonel Rudolf Abel, alleged to be the top Russian spy working in the U.S. at that time.

One man's last name was Bingham, and the second man's last name was Powell.
The third man announced that his last name was Bingham-Powell.

Two brothers killed by the same taxi driver, one year apart
In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda,
a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi.
One year later, this man's bother was killed in the very same way.
In fact, he was riding the very same moped.
And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver
- and even carrying the very same passenger!

Swapped Hotel Findings
In 1953, television reporter Irv Kupcinet was in London to cover the coronation of Ellizabeth II.
In one of the drawers in his room at the Savoy he found found some items that,
by their identification, belonged to a man named Harry Hannin.
Coincidentally, Harry Hannin - a basketball star with the famed Harlem Globetrotters
- was a good friend of Kupcinet's.
But the story has yet another twist.
Just two days later, and before he could tell Hannin of his lucky discovery,
Kupcinet received a letter from Hannin.
In the letter, Hannin told Kucinet that while staying at the Hotel Meurice in Paris,
he found in a drawer a tie - with Kupcinet's name on it!

Two Mr. Brysons, same hotel room
While on a business trip sometime in the late 1950s,
Mr. George D. Bryson stopped and registered at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
After signing the register and being given his key to room 307,
he stopped by the mail desk to see if any letters had arrived for him.
Indeed there was a letter, the mail girl told him,
and handed him an envelope addressed to Mr. George D. Bryson, room 307.
This wouldn't be so odd, except the letter was not for him, but for room 307's
just-previous occupant - another man named George D. Bryson.

Twins brothers, same heart attack
John and Arthur Mowforth were twins who lived about 80 miles apart in Great Britain.
On the evening of May 22, 1975, both fell severely ill from chest pains.
The families of both men were completely unaware of the other's illness.
Both men were rushed to separate hospitals at approximately the same time.
And both died of heart attacks shortly after arrival.

A novel that predicted the Titanic's destiny, and another ship that almost followed

It described the maiden voyage of a transatlantic luxury liner named the Titan.

Panic-stricken, he sounded the warning. The ship stopped, just in time:
a huge iceberg loomed out of the fog directly in their path. The Titanian was saved.
