11 The University of Evansville’s Men’s Basketball Team of 1977 was killed in a plane crash. There was, however, one player who was too ill to make the trip and, therefore, survived the crash. He was killed in a car crash two weeks later. 

The airplane that was carrying the players from Evansville to Nashville lost control and crashed a short while after take-off: several factors, including excessive baggage that shifted the plane’s gravity were blamed. One of the team members was too ill to go on board and was lucky enough to have survived. However, his luck ran out on him two weeks later, when he was hit by a drunk driver, resulting in his death.(source)

12 A woman, while watching an A&E show, discovered that her current house was once owned by a serial killer who used to torture women in the basement.

Following a family member’s suggestions that she watch an A&E documentary about serial killers, a St. Louis woman was shocked to realise that the house she had only recently rented once belonged to serial killer Maury Travis, who used it as a torture chamber. The woman – Catrina McGhaw – was given the same dining table by the landlord as the one seen in pictures of crime scenes; however, it was the basement where most of the crimes were committed, and this was the last straw for an already unnerved McGhaw. She called her landlord, asking to get out of the lease; the landlord was, however, unwilling to do so. She was also the killer’s mother.(source)

13 Firefighters rescued a naked woman who was found trapped in her ex-boyfriend’s chimney.

This woman was often in the habit of trying to enter her ex-boyfriend’s house every Saturday morning. However, one such morning found the front door locked, and in a desperate bid to enter the house, she climbed onto the roof, took off all her clothes, and climbed down the chimney – an endeavour that was rudely cut short by her getting stuck in the shaft. Her boyfriend, after hearing her cries for help, called firefighters: it took nearly 2 hours and 23 firefighters to free the woman.(source)

14 A man who received a suicide victim’s heart married his widow, and years later, killed himself in the same way as the donor.

And all of this was purely coincidental.

Sonny Graham was on the verge of heart failure and was in desperate need for a new organ when the heart of a 33-year-old suicide victim rushed to the aid. Graham soon began writing to the family of the donor to express his gratitude, and later met the donor’s widow, whom he then married in 2004. Come 2008 and Graham was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound – the same way that the donor was, 12 years ago.(source)

15 A barn in Rasdorf, Germany blew up because of the high amount of methane that the 90 cows within produced; the sheer amount of the gas was enough for a static electric charge to ignite it and cause an explosion in the barn.

The explosion – which was caused as a result of methane steadily building up – caused considerable destruction to the barn, and injured one cow.(source)
