In 1909, Mark twain said the following words: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it." Mark Twain was born in 1835 - the year of appearance of Halley's Comet and passed away in 1910 when it appeared again. So, he managed to predict the coincidence of his own death.

At the end of the 19th century, Henry Ziegland broke up with his girlfriend. Out of despair, the girl committed suicide. Consequently, Ziegland was hunted down by her enraged brother, who planned to kill Ziegland and then himself. He found him and took a shot at him. It was a close call, but fortunately for Ziegland the bullet just missed him and lodged in a tree. A few years later, a man decided to cut down the tree. It turned out to be too difficult to chop down, so he decided to blow it up instead. However, the explosion sent the bullet flying off at speed, hitting the passing Ziegland and killing him. So, in this way, Ziegland was eventually shot. It seems that there is a grain of truth in the saying: if you're born to hang, you won't drown.
