Has anyone had experiences that just seemed eerie or too “coincidental” to explain? Such as thinking of someone (close or not) randomly, not thinking much of it, then you find out that either she/he died, or something tragic occurred to that person?
Last week, I randomly thought of someone who I wasn’t close with at all, rather more of an acquaintance that I met at a wedding. Let’s call her Evie.
I met Evie at my aunt’s wedding 11 years ago and met her brother (let’s call him David) during that time. I was in the midst of a serious breakup, and her brother David was interested in me. I of course was just not ready and just wanted to be friendly and nothing more.
David was a good guy and really sweet. We didn’t connect beyond that and the wedding was the last time he and I ever interacted. I did end up adding his sister on Facebook and kept her as an acquaintance after that.
Last week for some odd reason, I just thought of Evie. There was no reason as to why I thought of her. Nothing more deeper than I hope she and David are doing alright. And that’s just that. Went on with my day.
Come to find out a week later this morning that David has died in a motorcycle crash. I found out through my mother by text and I was shocked. I didn’t know what to think of it. I felt heartbroken for Evie and her family.
It’s not like I had a profoundly deep connection to either Evie or her brother, but it has shaken me up and felt it was too weirdly coincidental.
Anyone else experience this? Thinking randomly of someone and then something occurs not too long after?
