Coincidences from around the world


While, I was browsing, I stumbled upon this keyword “co-incidence”. I started browsing various stories related to coincidences. They were sometimes sad, funny as well as exciting. Just wanna share a few of them.…


There was a British officer, Major Summerford who while fighting in February 1918 was knocked off his horse by a flash of lightning which paralyzed him from the waist down. Later, he retired and moved to Vancouver. One day in 1924, while he was fishing, lightning hit the tree under which he was sitting. This paralyzed his right side. Two years later he recovered and used to take a walk in a local park. He was walking there in 1930 when a lightning bolt smashed into him, and paralyzed him permanently. He died two years later. But this hadn’t ended yet. Four years later, during a storm, lightning struck a cemetery and destroyed a tombstone. The deceased buried here? Poor Major Summerford!!!


 In 1899 a bolt of lightning killed a man as he stood in his backyard in Taranto, Italy. Thirty years later his son was killed in the same way and in the same place. On October 8, 1949, Rolla Primarda, the grandson of the first victim and the son of the second, became the third. Oh god!! What a lightning….
