Maybe we should start a new thread describing strange things like this that have happened to us. Here's a quick one.
I read Peter Straub's Houses Without Doors at home, and was taking it to my office, so it was sitting in the passenger seat as I was driving to work. There's one short piece in there whose name I can't recall that I was really taken with. I had the radio on and some guy was talking about some political situation. Something he said reminded me of something in the book. I am not normally given to reading while driving, but I picked up the book and flipped through the pages.
Very shortly after, and all within the space of maybe half a second, my eyes fell on the word "night", the guy on the radio said "night" mid-sentence, and I drove under a bridge so that the lights in the car "went out". Night/night/"night", virtually simultaneously.
I put the book down.
