October 28, 1884 The Times of London reported that in a life boat on the open sea, a cabin boy named Richard Parker had been cannibalised by the three surviving crew members of the wrecked yawl Mignonette. In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe had published a story called The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym which told of a parallel set of circumstances to the Mignonette’s misfortune, in which a sailor was also eaten. His name was Richard Parker. More at www.wilsonsalmanac.com/edgar_allen_poe.html

I remember finding this story very well.
In the library of Wageningen I had taken a comics book about the life of EA Poe. I went to look for a book about coincidence. When I was looking at the shelve where i thought to find something I noticed Nostradamus. Then I saw another copy of that same book. Outside a thunder cracked the sky, but it wasnt raining and it was the only thunder that afternoon. In between the 2 Nostradamus books was a little book about all kinds of coincidences. I took it and read the story the shipwreck in it.
Spooky
I could tell a few other mindblowing synchronicities that happened in my life but not here, not now, maybe one other time/place.
All is one
