coincidence it’d be coincidental
accidents welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 creepiest coincidences in
history for this list we are looking at
the weirdest chance encounters in
history or events that have been shocked
up to coincidence but seemed too eerie
to be true oh by the way if you were
thinking about voting for Jefferson you
shouldn’t because he’s dead some of
these events are confirmed some may
merely be stories that circulate like a
game of broken telephone but all of them
are creepy
number 10 karma kills their rustic die
many relationships and on a sour note
but they rarely result in the deaths of
three people legend has it that in the
late 19th century henry ziegland broke
up with his girlfriend who killed
herself as a result her brother hunted
ziegland down and shot him committing
suicide immediately after ziegland was
not killed by the shot however the
bullet barely missed him and came to
arrest in a nearby tree years later
ziegland attempted to blow up the tree
only to have the blast propel the bullet
into his head killing him
number nine the Kings double what are
you doing here
what has happened to your beard I’ve
been replaced by this body double who’s
a total imbecile
for protection many kings use body
doubles apparently king umberto the
first of Italy came upon his own double
by accident why is everyone staring
don’t you see it see what the
resemblance between us while eating
dinner at a small restaurant Umberto
noticed that the restaurant owner was
nearly identical in looks to himself but
they soon discovered more similarities
they were both born in the same town on
the same day in the same year they both
married a woman named margarita and the
owner had opened his restaurant on the
same day as Umberto was crowned king
wait it gets weirder the day after the
pair met on July 29th 1900 the owner was
killed in an accidental shooting the
same day that Umberto was assassinated
weird is that extremely number eight to
finish brothers
they say that twins have an incredibly
strong bond and often know what the
other is thinking feeling or doing these
two Finnish brothers took that bond to a
whole other level in 2002 when both died
on the same road in separate accidents
within hours of each other the first
brother died when he was hit by a truck
while riding his bike the second brother
died two hours later under the exact
same circumstances about 1.5 kilometers
from the spot where his brother had been
killed earlier we ride together
we die together number seven the
mysterious monk frustrated with life and
depressed painter Joseph Agner attempted
to commit suicide on multiple occasions
once when he was 18 once when he was 22
but according to Ripley’s Believe It or
Not he was each time stopped by the same
Capuchin monk when he was thirty Agner
was sentenced to death for his political
activities but was again saved by the
monk who intervened on his behalf
eventually I ignore what successful and
killed himself with a pistol when he was
68 years old the funeral ceremony was
conducted by you guessed it the exact
same Capuchin monk whose name Agner had
never even learned
number six twin boys that’s wait what is
it with twins and strange coincidences
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were
identical twins who were separated at
Birth and adopted by different families
both families happen to name their boy
James but the similarities don’t stop
there
both married women with the name Linda
each also had a son named James Allen
and both were involved in law
enforcement both brothers divorced their
wives and remarried women named Betty
and both owned dogs named toy at least
they both haven’t been killed on the
same day
yet you could hire like like sisters
this does Holly I like twins
number five the cannibalized boy what
does that have to do what he’s talking
about
aunt animal oh right we’re gonna eat
your ass one of the greatest authors of
the 19th century Edgar Allen Poe wrote a

Gordon Pym of Nantucket the book
depicted four shipwreck survivors who
eventually killed an ADA boy named
Richard Parker several years after the
publication of Poe story a yacht called
the mignonette sank and left four
survivors
stranded at sea the three older
survivors eventually killed and ate the
cabin boy whose name was Richard Parker
sit all stop bickering eat me I tell you

Johnson then you sir can eat my leg and
that would make some of the captain and
then after that the rest of Johnson Cole
to supper good thinking Hodges
number four Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams Thomas Jefferson and John Adams
they were founding fathers of America
and they were also the best of friends
Adams liked the Constitution you can
kind of bend that how you need to bend
it we can kind of work with this
Jefferson was always like Constitution
is the Constitution can’t put that John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two of
the most important players in the
founding of the United States both
played a large role in the creation and
signing of the Declaration of
Independence which was eventually
approved on July 4th 1776 although their
relationship deteriorated over the years
they eventually reconciled and oddly
died on the exact same day that day July
4th 1826 exactly fifty years after the
signing of the Declaration
number three the 27 club survey the
27 club refers to a group of famous
people mainly musicians who have died at
the age of 27 it started in the late
1960s when Rolling Stone Brian Jones
doors frontman Jim Morrison Janis Joplin
and Jimi Hendrix all died at this age
two and a half decades later Kurt Cobain
committed suicide at 27 and recently Amy

at 27 all in all the club has claimed
over 40 musicians since the start of the
20th century
number two Mark Twain and Halley’s Comet
comet Halley is making its regular 76
year pilgrimage around our Sun as it has
been doing for countless centuries Mark
Twain was born on November 30th 1835
just two weeks after Halley’s Comet was
visible on earth Twain who was the
author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
seemed to strongly associate with the
celestial event in fact he famously
declared quote I came in with Halley’s
Comet in 1835 it is coming again next
year
and I expect to go out with it it will
be the greatest disappointment of my
life if I don’t go out with Halley’s
Comet the Almighty has said no doubt now
here are these two unaccountable freaks
they came in together they must go out
together
he died on April 21st 1910 one day after
the comet had returned as it reaches the
far end of its orbit it’ll slow down
till the Sun allows it to go no farther
then it’ll begin its long fall back to
the inner solar system
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
number one the Titan and the Titanic in
1898 Morgan Robertson published a
novella entitled futility or the wreck
of the Titan the plot revolved around
the HMS Titan a British luxury liner
that hit an iceberg and sank while
crossing the northern Atlantic of course
in 1912 the Titanic sank in a similar
fashion and that’s where things get
bizarre both ships were considered
unsinkable both hit an iceberg in the
month of April approximately 400 miles
from Newfoundland both were
approximately 800 feet long and both
resulted in the deaths of over 2,000
people the lack of life jackets and
lifeboats was also a serious problem for
both ships tragically so for the
real-life Titanic I’ll never let go
