I don't know much abot USA History but this is full on too many weird coincidences. Please read and let me know what you think. Thanks Ellie :DHave a history teacher explain this----- if they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy huh? Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading!

I really think it is more than a coincidence. You know what, it is too weird to be a coincidence, actually. Have you ever thought if there is something mystery inside the two assassinations? What a twist of fate! Inconceivable! I have read it long before, but whenever I re-read it, I never fail to sense a strange force behind such event. Do you think John Kennedy is the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln? But what's more interesting is that, will the president elected in 2046 also be assassinated? Tricky, isn't it?!

Hi This is the first time I had ever read this and it was like whoah what really weird parallel lives they were living 100 years apart. Who knows, I certtainly don't but what if that really did happen also in 2046, would it then have been planned by people aware of the above facts or would it be another strange force at work? Interesting. Ellie :D

I nearly forget something. According to the curse, the current President would be assassinated, but I see he is still at large, and live through his presidency safely. Does it mean that the curse has been lifted? Interesting, hehe.

Well, what a coincidence facts about USA history. As if everything has been arrange to be put in the history book of USA. Perhaps if you do a little research, you probably be able to tell who and what going to happen in USA in the next 20 - 50 years. Tell me if you think you get the facts right for the next 50 years. Perhaps you can tell who the next President to be.

I remember when I first read this back when I was a kid, not too long after the Kennedy assassination. It was before the internet, obviously, so I can't remember where I read it, it may have been in the newspaper. It really is creepy, isn't it? I don't remember the part about Marilyn Monroe and Monroe, Maryland but I do remember all the rest and I think they are all facts, at least as far as I know. I really don't see any way it could be anything but mere coincidence, but it sure is weird!

This has been out there since I was a kid, not long after the Kennedy assassination. By the way, there won't be a Presidential election in 2046 and Lincoln was elected in 1860 and Kennedy in 1960. They were both elected to Congress in '46.

Pretty weird eh, but very interesting. Someone in a previous response actully questioned whether Kennedy was a reincarnation of Lincoln. I responsed that there was diffently a parrell life situation going on but 100 years apart. Will be interesting to see what 2046 brings Ellie :D
