30 People Share The Strangest And Creepiest Coincidences That Shook Them To Their Core
English author Neil Gaiman has said that life is always going to be stranger than fiction because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't. Well, if these words needed any proof, there's a TikTok trend that vividly illustrates their essence.
It was started by Ellery (@dentedmilk), who posted a video on Thanksgiving of herself and an old photo of her great-great-great-grandmother that she said died in 1923 during childbirth. 100 years later, Ellery is now around her age.
Throughout the video, a haunting, robotic-sounding voice sings "Well you don't know me, but I know you. And I've got a message," from Laurie Anderson's song 'O Superman.'
The clip has since amassed 6.2 million views and inspired other people to share their own eerie experiences using the tune as well.
@dentedmilk She’s my great great grandmother who died in 1923 during childbirth. I’m around her age, 100 years later. Her name is Jessie.

My grandma's CB name was ladybug 🐞 and I find them everywhere in my mom's house. All year round. It gives me so much hope that our souls and love live on.

This one is a bit creepy with the image of the future girlfriend staring out of the window, like a ghost.

Do people don't know about genetics? Yeah, you look slightly similar to a member of your family, who would have thought!

One mildly interesting story of coincidence in my family. My parents lived in a very small village quite some distance from where they were both born. When visiting the church, we noticed a sign showing the names of the previous vicars, and one of them was almost the same as our family name, with one letter different. Some years later a relative did some research on our family tree and I followed it up with a bit more detail. Turns out the vicar was in fact my great-great-great-great-grand-father (b. 1781). He married into a farming family, and several generations farmed somewhat nearer to where my parents were born, and those farms still exist along with headstones in the local churchyard.

I want it to be my job to randomly text people "I love you" or "I miss you" or "I'm proud of you" from dead people's numbers. Is that a job someone can have? Seems like it'd be helpful to people.
