19th
century poet, Emile Deschamps, once said that when he was a schoolboy, he shared
a table at a restaurant with M. de Fortgibu, who had recently returned from
England with a taste for plum puddings, which were unavailable in France at
that time. He insisted that Deschamps sample one.
Ten years later Deschamps passed a restaurant and saw that it was serving plum
pudding, so Deschamps went in and ordered a slice, to be told that it was reserved
for another customer. Deschamps went over to the customer to beg his favour
and it turned out to be M. de Fortgibu, both men being astonished at meeting
again after so long a time over the same dish.
Many years passed by, and Deschamps was invited to a dinner party which featured
plum pudding. At the party Deschamps was telling his hosts about the extraordinary
encounter with Fortgibu, the hosts joking about the possibility of the old man
turning up when suddenly, there was Fortgibu again, who had also been invited
to the party.
Deschamps said, "Three times in my life I have eaten plum pudding, and
three times I have seen M. Fortgibu. My hair stood up on my head!"

While on a business trip sometime in the late 1950s, Mr. George D. Bryson stopped in Louisville, Kentucky and booked in at the Brown Hotel he was not meant to get off the train here but just decided to, after signing the register and being given his key to room 307, he stopped by the mail desk for no reason and asked if any letters had arrived for him, to his surprise 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 accept the letter was not for him, but for room 307's just-previous occupant - another man named George D. Bryson.
Another
Titanic coincidence. For instance in 1898, the novel 'Futility', was about a
giant ship, the Titan, which collided with an iceberg on it's maiden voyage,
in about the same place in the Atlantic.
In 1939, a sailor at the helm of a ship, noted that they were in the same position
of the Titanic disaster, when he stopped the ship because of a premonition,
and just in time. A giant iceberg loomed up, striking the vessel and damaging
it. Although suffering no loss of life, amazingly the name of the ship was 'The
Titanian!'

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.
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!
