We have all heard the expression that fact can be stranger than fiction. This collection of short stories may indeed prove this idea to be true. About half of these stories have been experienced by myself; the remaining stories have been retrieved from friends, relatives, family history records, medical colleagues, and military officers. How is it possible that I could have encountered such strange occurrences during my lifetime? I believe it is because I attended ten different schools before high school graduation; attended universities from East to West Coast, USA; was exposed to numerous different cultures; and developed friendships with a plethora of unique, interesting people.Read these stories, and some of your questions about life and its meaning may be answered, and ask yourself the question: Have I ever experienced any unusual stories that are as incredible as these? I bet the answer is yes.
