One from my headmaster
Many years ago, when I was still at junior school , we were having a history lesson with our headmaster, a thoroughly nice man called Mr. Harrison. Anyway we were talking about The "Three Oxford Martyrs" Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer :-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Martyrs
During the lesson he told us a rather creepy story. As a young man when was doing his National Service one job he had was in The Quartermasters Stores, i.e. the place where they issue new soldiers their uniforms, boots etc. He had to ask for their names,write it down, then someone else down the line gave out the stuff. Anyway he asked this particular chap for his name and he replied "Latimer". So the next guy in the queue came up and thinking about his days as a history student he said to him half jokingly " Oh I suppose your name is Ridley is it!" to which the guy replied "Yes! Good god man how did you know that!" It turned out his name was actually Ridley. Mr. Harrison said it sent a shiver up his spine, what a weird coincidence!

Brilliant, I love coincidences.
Especially creepy ones.
