As the title says. Sometimes posts like this lead to a bunch of “paranormal” discussion—that’s ok but not a necessity. I’m relatively skeptical of that stuff myself, but they always make for good conversation and friendly debunking. This also includes very unlikely things. I’ll start:

When I was growing up (in the days before the communication revolution) my family took a trip to Chicago. During our five days there we somehow hailed the same cab driver three times, in three extremely different locations in the city. The second time all of us were shocked, and the third time we actually had him take a picture with us. I’m sure my folks have the old disposable Kodak photo buried somewhere in an album. Could he have been stalking us? I guess so. But he certainly didn’t seem like he was, and nothing bad happened. He seemed as surprised as we were. Definitely stochastic—but it’s funny how weird stochasticity can seem when it’s a little less random.

    Last summer, after driving for 6h back home from vacation with 1h more to go, suddenly, a koenigsegg jesko in full carbon appeard in the opposite lane. This 3 million car was just standing in traffic on a wednesday evening on the most random street. Still can‘t believe it to this day

      This is like you’re walking your sheep to school and you see a damn Dragon straight up fly past you.

        Pretty much, yes. And the dragon flies past you in 1 second and you start to disbelieve your own thoughts and memories :D
