bullet
In 1883 Mr Henry Ziegland, broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who consequently committed suicide.

The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him.
The brother, thinking that he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself. However, Ziegland had not died, but simply had been grazed by the bullet which had then then lodged itself in a tree.

Ziegland considering himself a lucky decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so large and extensive that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

July 8th 2007 00:01
A young and upcoming actor at the time, James Dean while driving his Porsche Spyder was killed in a fatal car accident on September 30th, 1955. A strange string of coincidences have surrounded the car ever since.

After buying the car Dean had introduced himself to Alec Guinness and asked him to take a look at the Spyder. Guinness thought the car appeared "sinister" and told Dean: "If you get in that car you will be found dead in it by this time next week." This conversation reportedly occurred on September 23, 1955.
