1. The founders of Rome and the last emperor
Many people know that according to legend, Rome was founded by the brothers Romulus and Remus. Later, Romulus was recognized as the first ruler of Rome. Oddly enough, but at the end of the Roman Empire last emperor became a man named Romulus Augustulus (Flavius Romulus Augustus), who reigned in 475-476 AD. Coincidentally, the story of the greatest empire in human history began and ended thanks to a people named Romulus.
2. Girl from Petrovka
In 1974, when the film “The Girl from Petrovka” was being filmed, Anthony Hopkins, who played one of the main roles in this film, wanted to read original book George Feiffer to formulate his idea of the hero's image. But it so happened that not a single bookstore had the book. Already in despair, Hopkins suddenly found a forgotten volume of the novel right on a bench in the subway. The actor couldn't believe his luck.
Later, when filming began, Hopkins met George Feiffer, and the writer complained in a conversation that he himself did not have a copy of his own book. All because he lent it to his friend, and he lost it somewhere in the subway.
3. Curse of the family?
In Bermuda in 1975, an incident occurred that still remains an example of an eerie coincidence for which no one dares to explain. A young guy named Erskine Lawrence Ebbin was riding along the road on his moped when he was unexpectedly hit and killed by a taxi. The accident itself would have been quite ordinary, if not for one “but”. About a year ago, in 1974, the guy’s brother died on the same road. Moreover, he was hit by the same moped, by the same taxi driver, and according to rumors, the same passenger was sitting in the taxi.
4. Edgar Allan Poe and time travel
Edgar Allan Poe is considered one of the most mysterious writers. Moreover, some facts associated with it really raise questions. For example, one of his books, entitled “The Tale of the Adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym,” tells the story of four sailors who survived a shipwreck. The victims tried to survive at any cost, so they had to eat their cabin boy, whose name was Richard Parker. Moreover, Poe himself actively argued that he wrote the book based on real events.
The coincidence is that a full 46 years after the publication of the novel, a ship actually sank on the high seas, part of the crew of which escaped. To survive, the sailors had to eat their young comrade, whose name was Richard Parker.
5. The first and last victims
By complete coincidence, these graves are located nearby, at a distance of only a few meters. In one of them the first British soldier to die during the First World War is buried, and in the other the last. This was not planned.
6. Two presidents and many coincidences
As often happens, after the death of a celebrity in her life, they begin to look for all sorts of coincidences with others historical events. Fans of US history have found several interesting facts that coincide in the biographies of two presidents: Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy.

Each had four children. On purpose or not, Kennedy hired a secretary for his administration whose last name was Lincoln, while Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named John.
7. Incredible accident
Car accidents are not uncommon these days. However, at the end of the 19th century, when practically no one had cars, no one could even think about collisions.

8. The Curse of the Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam in the USA is famous throughout the world. This ingenious construction has become one of the symbols of the fact that man can at least somehow cope with nature. But few people know an interesting fact about this dam.

The fact is that in 1898, the writer Morgan Robertson published a work called “Futility,” in which he described the death of a huge ship called the Titan. The coincidence would seem more random if not for other facts.
So, the writer described in detail the technical characteristics of his ship, and they surprisingly turned out to be similar to the characteristics of the Titanic. The developers of both ships considered their ships unsinkable. Both ships collided with an iceberg in the northern part Atlantic Ocean. And on both ships, passengers did not have enough lifeboats to escape. The Titanic sank 14 years after the novel was published.
