Coincidences happen every now and then. You might be thinking about something and you discover moments later that it has become a hot topic in the news. When such things happen, they are usually considered minor coincidences.
There are other kinds of coincidences, however, that are more profound and leave people without an explanation. When it comes to those, it is difficult coming up with any logical reason as to why they happened.
It’s always intriguing to learn about such coincidences. That’s why we’ve prepared five more examples from history that prove the world is a mysterious place. Read the first list we prepared here. From a real-life case of doppelgangers to a cursed car, here are popular coincidences that will leave you confused.
A man saves falling babies twice
In 1937, a man named Joseph Figlock happened to be working below when a mother accidentally dropped her baby from a four storey building. Luckily, the infant hit him in the head and survived. A year later, another mother was in a high-rise building when she accidentally dropped her baby.
Again, Figlock happened to be directly below sweeping an alley. The child fell on his head and both of them survived. It is interesting that a man was at the right place at the right time two years in a row. It is even more interesting that two mothers were so irresponsible to allow their babies fall from a window within the space of two years. Weird!
The Deus Ex twin towers omen
In 2000, a PC game called Deus Ex was created. When the artist of the game was creating it, he forgot to add the twin towers to the New York city skyline. Some people believe that the memory constraints involved made it impossible for him to add the towers while others thought he simply forgot.
Eventually, the artist had to come up with an in-game explanation for the omission of the towers. The excuse was that a terrorist attack was responsible for the twin towers not being present in the game.
As weird as it sounds, a year later, a real terrorist attack took down the twin towers in New York City. There’s no way that the creators of this game knew this would happen a year later after they came up with that explanation. This is indeed a very spooky coincidence.

Interestingly, the license plate number of the car that the duke was assassinated in was a strange omen. The number “A111-118” represents the following:
A stands for Armistice
111-118 stands for the date that the war ended – 11-11-1918. Do you see the similarities?
Creepy!
