Before we get started, these coincidences are not necessarily historically accurate. Their absurdity lends itself to storytelling and exaggeration even if the original story was very much true. In fact, you could even get well reputed historians to argue about the details in many of these cases. But keep in mind, this list isn't about what actually happened. It's about what people say actually happened (isn't all of history anecdotal? Something to think about...). And that can be hard to separate sometimes (just consider how often you've disagreed with your friends about things you had all seen with your own two eyes!) But we digress, these are 25 of the of the craziest historical coincidences you've ever heard!
