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.

    In high school we were messing around on the computers, got to the login for admin, didn’t know the password so I mashed the keyboard a bit and hit enter. It worked.

      All I can think is maybe the system was coded to accept any password if no password has been set, and they hadn’t bothered setting a password

        Nope, other passwords didn’t work. I hit the right password randomly. Unreal probability.

      Should’ve gotten picked up by a 3 letter agency then and there. You could’ve been the next super spy
