Coincidence or spooky connections between Lincoln and Kennedy

History mystery Have 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. I read this at Apsense and the poster said he did not mind us passing it on. I thought some people might be interested.

I'm speechless! And, if you knew me better, you'd know that I'm never speechless. I haven't stopped talking or reading or writing since I was four years old. And, for the first time in almost thirty years, I find that words refuse to come out of my mouth. Sensible words anyway! That goes way beyond spooky coincidence. Maybe some lives are bound to connect and parallel. How can the mind comprehend or explain away the similarities? Maybe then again, it's not such a mystery. They chose to walk the same path and ultimately saw all the same landmarks and landed in the same destination. Good find! I'm going to bookmark this page and hope they don't delete it. More people should read this.

Did you see the coincidences around the number 23 with the 9/11 incident? That was quite spooky too but I felt that because it was numbers they could have been presented to meet any criteria really.
